Eric Trump Backs US Strikes on Iran and Discusses Israeli Real Estate Plans
Eric Trump backed US President Donald Trump's strikes on Iran in an interview, citing the nuclear threat. He also discussed halted Israeli real estate projects.
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and son of US President Donald Trump, expressed full support for his father's actions against Iran in an exclusive interview on Tuesday. He argued that the West had turned a blind eye for years, making the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities an absolute necessity.
The Campaign Against Iran
Trump emphasized that Iran poses a severe existential threat to both the United States and Israel, frequently chanting slogans calling for their destruction.
My father had to deal with problems no other president faced, problems the West closed its eyes to for many years. He stepped in and destroyed the nuclear enrichment facilities; only the United States was capable of doing that.
He added that while his father prefers to avoid conflicts, regional realities left no other option but to neutralize the nuclear threat.
The Israeli Elections and Business Impact
Regarding the upcoming Knesset elections scheduled for October 27, 2026, when asked whether Donald Trump would endorse a specific candidate such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Eric Trump stated that the matter belongs to Washington.
He also revealed that the ongoing war in Gaza has temporarily halted the Trump Organization's real estate expansion in Israel. Plans for luxury hotels in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv were shelved out of respect for the crisis, though the organization remains open to future investments in the region, alongside tech ventures such as their investment in the Israeli drone company Xtend.
