US President Donald Trump has rejected the notion that Iran’s military actions in the region are a betrayal of his “no new wars” campaign message. The comments came during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.

In response to questions about the US military presence in the Middle East, Trump stated that the current situation is simply a “military exercise”. He also denied making any promises regarding the number of wars the US would engage in.

Trump was asked about his stance on Iran’s military actions in the region, which have been escalating in recent days. The President claimed that he had not made any specific commitments regarding the end of conflicts in the Middle East.

The comments come as tensions between the US and Iran continue to rise. The situation has sparked concerns among lawmakers and experts about the potential for further conflict in the region.

Trump’s statements on the issue have been met with skepticism by some, who argue that his previous rhetoric on ending wars was at odds with the current military actions. However, no further comment is available from the White House regarding this matter.
