Bill Clinton criticised President Donald Trump’s Iran strikes and administration during a campaign speech in Mississippi, arguing the attack was poorly considered and had contributed to high petrol prices. He said he opposed going to war with Iran and warned against starting military action without knowing how it would end, while supporting Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom.

Clinton said the United States had worked to hinder Iran’s nuclear efforts during his presidency, but his own administration ordered several Middle Eastern bombing campaigns, including strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan. He also criticised what he called Trump’s corruption and personal projects, and recalled disagreeing with Trump about tariffs when they played golf around 24 years ago.
