Footage of Donald Trump accusing then-president Barack Obama of wanting to start a war with Iran in 2011 has resurfaced amid reports that the US president is considering launching attacks on Iran.

In a video posted in November 2011, Mr Trump said: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate.”

It comes as US officials suggested on Tuesday (17 June) that Mr Trump was considering joining Israel’s campaign of attacks against Iranian nuclear facilities.
