Claim
Donald Trump in 2024 - “You are not going to have a war with Iran with me as president.”
Correction

This quote is miscaptioned: in the referenced 2024 rally remarks, Trump said “you’re not going to have a war with me” and did not specifically mention Iran.

Full reasoning

What the post claims

It attributes to Donald Trump (in 2024) the specific statement: “You are not going to have a war with Iran with me as president.”

What the underlying, verifiable record shows

A widely circulated clip comes from Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in New York City on Oct. 27, 2024. The transcript of that rally shows Trump making a broad claim about not having a war with him as president, but he does not name Iran in that promise.

In the official transcript of the Oct. 27, 2024 MSG rally, Trump says (emphasis added):

  • “...I will tell you, you're not going to have a war with me, and you're not going to have a third world war with me. That, I can tell you.”

That statement is materially different from the post’s attribution, which adds “with Iran”—a country Trump did not specify in that segment.

Independent verification

A Yahoo News fact-check (published March 4, 2026) evaluated the same viral claim and concluded the clip is miscaptioned: it confirms the footage is authentic but Trump did not specifically name Iran; he said only: “you’re not going to have a war with me...”

Conclusion

Because the primary-source transcript and a detailed fact-check both show Trump did not say “war with Iran” in the cited remarks, the post’s specific quote attribution (“war with Iran”) is incorrect.
