Trump on Iran:

They are begging to make a deal, not me.

Trump on Iran:

They are not fools; they are very smart, actually, in a certain way.

They are great negotiators.

Trump on Iran:

Obama chose Iran over Israel.

Trump on Iran:

One of their missiles went 2,500 miles; they supposedly didn’t have a missile like that.

We have been proven right with that one.

Trump on Iran:

The UK didn’t want to get dragged in; we don’t want to get dragged into their wars either.

Trump:

The UK’s aircraft carriers are toys compared to what we have.

Trump on Iran:

They are now admitting to themselves that they have been decisively defeated. They are telling to people, “This is a disaster—they know it.” That’s why they’re talking to us; otherwise, they wouldn’t be.

They’re talking to us because they have a disaster on their hands. They’re defeated. They can’t make a comeback.

Trump on Iran:

They now have a chance to make a deal, but that’s up to them.

They are begging to make a deal. We’ll see if we can reach the right one. If they make the right deal, then the Hormuz Strait will open up.

Trump on Iran:

They don’t have any “mine droppers” left.

Trump on NATO over Iran:

This was a test for NATO. It was a test of whether you would help us. You didn’t have to, but if you didn’t, we’re going to remember that.

Just remember this—a number of months from now. Remember my words. There’s an expression: “Never forget.” You can never forget.

Trump on Ali Khamenei:

We had to stop this maniac, who is no longer with us—the supreme leader. He wasn’t so supreme.

He is no longer with us; it’s very sad.

Trump on Iran:

I thought, frankly—I thought the oil prices would go up more, and I thought the stock market would go down more. It hasn't been nearly as severe as I thought.

I think they have confidence in maybe the American President and maybe the people sitting around this table.

Trump on Iran:

We had to take a little detour, won’t be long—gonna end soon.

Trump on Hegseth:

Pete Hegseth was born for this role. He is doing a great job.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

Unlike them, we are not bombing embassies and hotels; we are hitting military targets.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

Countries around the world—even the ones complaining about this a little bit—should be grateful that the U.S. has a president who is willing to confront a threat like this.

Steve Witkoff on Iran:

We exhausted all efforts on behalf of a peaceful resolution, as you directed.

Steve Witkoff on Iran:

Iranians were there to buy time until a weaker president arrived.

Steve Witkoff on Iran:

Iran is looking for an off-ramp following your powerful threat on Saturday.

Steve Witkoff on Iran:

We have told Iran one last thing: don’t miscalculate again.

Hegseth on Iran:

This is stuff for the history books—this is stuff for legacy.
