What was said
"We're doing it to help Israel and to help Saudi Arabia and to help Qatar and UAE and, you know, Kuwait and other countries. Bahrain. It also helps China."
In an interview with Sean Hannity from Beijing, President Trump explicitly stated the Iran war is being conducted primarily to help Israel, naming it first among beneficiaries. He acknowledged the conflict also benefits Gulf Arab states and even China. This direct admission contradicts claims the war serves only American interests and validates criticism that U.S. military action is being undertaken for foreign nations' benefit.
