Reporter: โ€œMr. President, did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran?โ€

President Trump: โ€œNo. No, I might have forced their hand. You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first. They were going to attack. If we didn't do it, they were going to attack first. I felt strongly about that. great negotiators, great people, people that do this very successfully and have done it all their lives very successfully. And based on the way the negotiation was going, I think they were going to attack first. And I didn't want that to happen. So, if anything, I might have forced Israelโ€™s hand. But Israel was ready and we were ready. And we've had a very, very powerful impact because virtually everything they have has been knocked out now.โ€

โ€œSpain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's all right. We don't want to do it. We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is going to tell us not to use it. But we don't have to. But they were unfriendly.โ€

Speaking about his decision to strike Iran and how the war has so far affected oil prices, President Trump told reporters that he expects oil prices will drop once the conflict ends with Iran.

โ€œI'll tell you what, I have never had more compliments on something I did. So, if we have a little high oil prices for a little while, but as soon as this ends, those prices are going to drop, I believe, lower than even before.โ€

โ€œMost of the people we had in mind are dead. So, you know, we had some in mind from that group that is dead. And now we have another group. They may be dead also, based on reports. So I guess you have a third wave coming in. Pretty sure we're not going to know anybody. But we have - I mean, Venezuela was so incredible because we did the attack and we kept government totally intact. And we have Delcy, who's been very good.โ€
