A clip of Donald Trump ripping into Barack Obama and accusing him of wanting a war with Iran to get re-elected has come back to haunt him after he bombed three nuclear sites in the country over the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The November 2011 clip awkwardly resurfaced in the hours after\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0confirmed the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0had\u00a0‘completely obliterated’ three nuclear facilities in Iran<\/a>.\u00a0Concerns have now been growing over how the country will retaliate<\/a>\u00a0to the shock attack including fears of skyrocketing oil prices and\u00a0sleeper-cell terror in the US.<\/a><\/p>\n

The move to launch strikes on Iran has been\u00a0met with both concern and support among some of the US’ key allies<\/a>\u00a0across the globe, while fears around WW3 have ramped up as the world continues to hold its breath in fears of further escalation.<\/p>\n

But it looks like Trump hasn’t always favoured the idea of attacking Iran, as a clip resurfaced of him slamming former president Barack Obama, claiming he wanted to initiate conflict with the nation in order to boost his poll numbers.<\/p>\n

In the clip, the president labels Obama as ‘weak’ with ‘absolutely no ability to negotiate’.<\/p>\n

“He’s weak and he’s ineffective,” Trump says in the video. “So the only way he figures he’s going to get re-elected is to start a war with Iran.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “Now, I’m more militant and more militaristic than the president. I believe in strength.<\/p>\n

“But, to start a war in order to get elected – and I believe that’s going to happen – would be an outrage.”<\/p>\n

During his two terms in the Oval Office, Obama signed a nuclear deal with Iran’s capital Tehran to put the brakes on its nuclear program, with the nations signing on the dotted line in 2015.<\/p>\n

Just three years after the deal during his first term, Trump announced he was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, terminating the US’ involvement and reimposing economic sanctions on Iran.<\/p>\n

The resurfaced clip is not the only post in which Trump accused former president Obama of planning a war with Iran to cover up diplomatic failure, with a string of tweets between 2011 and 2013 calling Obama ‘desperate’ and ‘not skilled’, among other things.<\/p>\n

“Now that Obama\u2019s poll numbers are in tailspin \u2013 watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate,” Trump wrote in one tweet back in October 2012.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a 2013 tweet from Trump read: “Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly – not skilled!”<\/p>\n

And another tweet from the same year said: “I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!”<\/p>\n

But, more than a decade on, it looks like it’s Trump who is the one to have ignited conflict between the US and Iran, as\u00a014 powerful ‘buster bunker bombs’ rained down<\/a>\u00a0on the country’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfaha sites.<\/p>\n

Obama has recently spoken out against Trump,\u00a0warning that the US is ‘dangerously close’ to becoming an autocracy<\/a>\u00a0(a form of government in which one individual has absolute decision-making power).<\/p>\n

Speaking on June 17 in Hartford, Connecticut, he said: \u201cIf you follow regularly what is said by those who are in charge of the federal government right now, there is a weak commitment to what we understood \u2014 and not just my generation, at least since\u00a0World War II<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 our understanding of how a liberal democracy is supposed to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing right now \u2026 is not consistent with American democracy.<\/p>\n

“It is consistent with autocracies. It is consistent with Hungary under Orb\u00e1n. It’s consistent with places that hold elections but do not otherwise observe what we think of [as] a fair system in which everybody’s voice matters, and people have a seat at the table, and there are checks and balances, and nobody’s above the law.<\/p>\n

“We’re not there yet completely, but I think that we are dangerously close to normalizing behavior like that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
