To all those who don't believe Iran would use nuclear weapon, you're stupid. You're a fool and I hate to be so harsh.

To our allies, if you can't join this fight, what fight are you going to join?

To Spain: you won't let us use your airbase—our airbases—in your country to stop a homicidal regime from getting nuclear weapons to terrorize the world.

I am encouraging Trump tonight to move all of our bases out of Spain.

As to Lebanon: there is a military leader in charge of the Lebanese army that I don't trust as far as I can throw him.

He is willfully ignoring Hezbollah. He's not disarming Hezbollah.

Let's get somebody in charge of the Lebanese military that will use it.

I don’t think talking with Americans anymore would be on the table.

We have a very bitter experience of talking with the Americans.

They promised us they had no intention to attack us.

Even after saying we made big progress, they still decided to attack us.

They thought that in a matter of two or three days they could go for regime change and achieve a rapid, clean victory, but they failed.

So I believe that Plan A was a failure. And now they are trying other plans, but all of them have failed as well.

I don’t think they have any realistic endgame in mind.

They have just started attacking us blindly.

They have attacked our nuclear facilities, but they couldn’t destroy our nuclear program.

They have also attacked our missile facilities, but they have not been able to stop the missiles from being fired at them.

We are well prepared to continue attacking them with our missiles as long as needed — and as long as it takes.

If they have the right to take all necessary measures to protect their facilities, I think we are even.

In fact, we have even more right to take all necessary measures to defend ourselves and protect our people. And this is exactly what we are doing.

Know this: this is not our war. This is not our choice. This war was imposed on us. We are under aggression and we are defending ourselves.

They cannot accuse us for things that happen on the other side.

They should accuse those who started this war, and they should be held responsible for any damage inside Iran and in the region, because everything started with the United States and Israel.

He does not think through the consequences. He doesn’t think he needs to know much, and he certainly doesn’t know much.

His top advisers say “Yes, sir” as soon as he says something.

Whereas in the first term — not because people wanted to block the president, but because they were trying to help him — they would say, “But Mr. President, have you thought of A and B and C? Have you considered this other alternative?”

People are afraid to say those things in this second term because they’re afraid they’ll be taken as signs of dissent or disagreement.
