Former President Donald Trump said on Friday that Iran wouldn’t make threats against Israel when he was in office, criticizing President Joe Biden’s warnings of an impending attack as “pathetic.”

After Tehran threatened attacks in Israel, President Trump stated that America faces “a very dangerous period of time” which he attributed to the “grossly incompetent” leadership of President Biden.
