Trump to WSJ on Iran:

If they don’t come through… they’re going to lose every power plant and every other plant in the whole country.

If they don’t do something by Tuesday evening, they won’t have any power plants and they won’t have any bridges standing.

That country will take 20 years to rebuild, if they’re lucky. If they have a country.

Asked if he is concerned the people of Iran, a country of 93 million people, could suffer if civilian infrastructure is hit, Trump said:

No, they want us to do it.
