  "account": "US President Donald Trump has asserted once more that Israel and the Middle East owe their survival to his actions. In a post on Truth Social on November 6, he stated that Israel and the entire region would not exist today if he had not prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This post follows his announcement that US military aid to Israel will cease this year, as the country no longer requires it. Trump has been ambiguous since the midterm elections about the continuation of US military aid to Iran. He has not ruled out the possibility of another strike on Iran, but has also stated that US forces are prepared. Trump has made this claim before, including in an interview with Fox & Friends and the Oval Office, where he emphasized that without his intervention, Israel and the Middle East would cease to exist.",
