CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed that former President Donald Trump “didn’t do a thing” when Iran attacked U.S. soldiers.
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Biden left out the context: Trump had just killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Biden made his claim during the first presidential debate of the 2024 election on CNN, repeating a line from the 2020 campaign. He was referring to injuries suffered by U.S. soldiers from the concussive force of Iranian missiles hitting American bases in Iraq in January 2020.
What Biden left out was that the Iranian missile attack came after Trump ordered the targeted killing of Soleimani, who was responsible for Iran’s terror operations abroad, including attacks on U.S. soldiers. Moreover, the Iranian attack did not actually kill any U.S. soldiers. It was seen as a weak response — almost a perfunctory answer, signaling the regime wanted to be seen responding but did not want to provoke a war.Trump’s attack on Soleimani.
