At Sunday School, Jimmy Carter Extends Praise To Trump For Restraint On Iran [View all]

For the second time since breaking his hip a month ago, former President Jimmy Carter taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Ga. this weekend.

Addressing an audience of approximately 500, the 94 year old used his scripture lesson to discuss a topic he is intimately familiar with: Iran.

“I agree with President Trump on his decision not to take military action against Iran,” he said. “I had a lot of problems with Iran when I was in office.”

Carter’s remarks came just two days after President Trump said that he called off a strike on Iran ordered in retaliation for Iran’s having shot down a U.S. drone. Trump said he did so after being told that 150 people would likely have died in the attack.
