NATO's Rutte on Iran:

Iran is attacking innocent civilians living in Dubai and other capitals in the region… we are dealing with a regime that is terrorist by nature.

Netanyahu says Trump and he are “saving the world.”

Trump on Iran:

When they met, they met for breakfast. They assumed it was good for a lot of reasons.

Number one, they didn’t think we knew. You never attack in the morning because of the wind, the sun, and a lot of other factors.

It was amazing that we knew everything we knew.

He described the Arab leaders as “tough and smart” and said Iran’s strikes “shot into a hotel” and “an apartment house,” which “just made them angry.”

“That was probably the biggest surprise,” Trump said.

On Iran’s leadership, Trump said, “We don’t know who the leadership is. We don’t know who they’ll pick.” He added that Iran lost “a lot in terms of leadership” in the initial strikes.

“Forty-nine people,” Trump said. “It was an amazing strike.” He claimed they “got a little bit arrogant” by meeting together, adding, “They thought they were undetectable. They weren’t.”

“They don’t even know who’s leading them now,” Trump said. “We went down 49.” With so many killed, he added, “We don’t know who’s leading the country now… It’s a little like the unemployment line.”

Iran launched hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones at countries which did not attack them.

Trump told The New York Post he won’t rule out sending ground troops into Iran “if they were necessary.”

A Reuters/Ipsos poll found 27% approved of the US airstrikes on Iran, 43% disapproved and 29% were unsure.

Trump dismissed the numbers, saying, “I don’t care about polling. I have to do the right thing,” and arguing, “You cannot let Iran… have a nuclear weapon.” He added, “I think it’s a silent majority.”
