Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

When the U.S. Secretary of War declares “no quarter”, he doesn't project strength. He conveys moral bankruptcy and ignorance about law of armed conflict.

We advise him to review the Hague Convention and Rome Statute of the ICC, unless he aspires to join Netanyahu as war criminal.

Trump on Somalia:

Somalia is a third-world—maybe even a fourth-world—nation.

Trump on Ilhan Omar:

Ilhan Omar married her brother supposedly… that means she is here illegally and she is a Congresswoman.

I hope you are going to be looking at that or somebody is.

She is one of the ringleaders. She is bad news.

JD Vance on Iran:

What Trump has said consistently going back to 2015, and what I agree with, is that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.

I think all of us, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, should pray for success and pray for the safety of our troops.

Trump:

I don’t want wars. I want wars less than almost anybody.

Trump on Iran:

If you believe that Iran should have a nuclear weapon, then something is wrong with you, because they would use it.

The only question is whether they would use it within an hour of getting it or within a day. They would blow up the entire Middle East, not just Israel.

Trump on the B-2 bomber:

It looks small, but in person it’s very big. It’s the only plane capable of carrying a 200,000-pound bomb.

I don’t know how they do it because it’s very sleek and beautiful, but it carries a lot of weapons.

Trump on Iran:

All of those missiles that were launched against their neighbors were set long ago, long before they expected to use them so quickly.

Had we not done this, you would have had a nuclear war that would have evolved into WW3.

Trump on Mojtaba Khamenei:

Now they think maybe the son is gone. They’re all gone.

My biggest problem is that I have no idea who we’re talking to, because nobody has ever heard of any of these people. They’re all dead.

Trump:

More people died in religious wars than every other war put together.

That is what you would have had here.

Trump on Iran:

China should be thanking us.

Trump on The Strait of Hormuz:

They should be helping us. What surprises me is that they’re not more eager to do so.

There are a few countries that have been very supportive. I’ll be announcing some names soon.

Trump:

Some countries have been very good. One or two have been great.

I’ll tell you who the great ones are at the right time.

Trump on Iran:

I heard they were sending missiles to the UAE. I said, “That’s strange, you know? The UAE is like the banker for Iran.” They’re sort of the banker. Qatar, their neighbors — they got along okay.

Then suddenly Saudi Arabia, Kuwait — Kuwait is getting hit. Bahrain is getting hit. All of these countries are getting hit.

No expert would have predicted that this was going to happen.

It’s not a question of whether we should have known. Even if we had known, we still have to do what we have to do.

Trump on The Strait of Hormuz:

The Strait of Hormuz is a beautiful place, but you wouldn’t necessarily want to be sailing a boat there right now.

You know why? Not because of them—because of us.

Trump on The Strait of Hormuz:

We don’t know that any mines have even been dropped, but the thought that they would scares people that have billion-dollar ships.

Trump on Qasem Soleimani:

He was a vicious, horrible man, but he was a brilliant general.

Reporter: Can we wrap this war up this week?

Trump: Yeah, sure. I don’t think so, but it’ll be soon. It won’t be long. And we’re going to have a much safer world when it’s wrapped up.

It’ll be wrapped up soon.

Trump on Iran:

It’s a big chess game at a very high level.

It’s a very high-level chance — the highest — and I’m dealing with very smart players. These are smart people. They don’t get there otherwise.

When you deal with some of these people, you know who you’re dealing with. High-level intellect. High — very high-IQ people.
