US President Donald Trump confirmed the success of security agencies in arresting the armed assailant responsible for the attack targeting a dinner party in the capital, Washington. Trump clarified in a speech delivered from the White House that the operation was carried out quickly enough, noting that one of the security personnel was injured during the confrontation, and he reassured the public about his health after direct contact with him.
The US President described the perpetrator as a 'very sick person,' revealing extensive security movements including raiding the suspect's apartment in California to gather more evidence. Trump stressed that authorities have already begun a comprehensive review of the circumstances surrounding the incident, admitting that the security level at the event building was not sufficient to prevent such a security breach.
Regarding the international dimensions of the incident, Trump ruled out any connection of the Iranian Republic to this attack in his statements, confirming that initial investigations indicate that the attacker acted alone and did not receive support from any party. However, the President stressed that investigations will continue meticulously to ascertain all circumstances of the attack and ensure there are no hidden threads behind the incident.
Trump expressed concern about the recent recurrence of assassination attempts and political violence within the United States, considering this incident not the first of its kind. He issued a clear call to all American citizens about the necessity of adhering to peaceful means to resolve political differences, and moving away from the path of violence that now threatens the country's internal stability.
I don't believe the incident has anything to do with Iran, but we will investigate the attack, and the attacker was alone in this act.
