In his speech, Trump defended the war with Iran, calling it necessary to prevent the country from acquiring nuclear weapons. However, most other Republican politicians and candidates made no mention of the conflict in their speeches on the first day of the convention. Trump mentioned that people often told him they wished he hadn't gone to war with Iran, pointing to the resulting increase in gasoline prices. He said he would ask these people, "Can Iran have nuclear weapons?" and the answer was always, "Absolutely not." So he said, "In that case, I was right… I won."
