Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: “I stated, numerous times, that it would take 4-6 weeks to get rid of THE IRAN NUCLEAR THREAT, and I did it in one night!”
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Trump repeatedly said the war with Iran would last roughly four to six weeks, rather than saying it would take that long specifically to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat. Experts also said U.S. and Israeli strikes damaged and delayed Iran’s nuclear program but did not completely eliminate it.
