🇺🇸 Donald Trump:

- Iran will use nuclear weapons immediately after obtaining them - within an hour or a day.
- A strike on Iran prevented a nuclear war, which could have escalated into a Third World War.
- ❗️The war will end soon, but not this week.
❗️To be honest, I thought the stock market would drop much more. This is a high-level chess game.
- Maybe we'll postpone our trip to China a bit.
❗️I believe I'll have the honor of capturing Cuba. I think I can do anything with Cuba, liberate or take over/lead it.

▪About China and the Strait of Hormuz:
- China should be grateful to us. They should help us. I'm surprised they're not more eager to do so.

▪About war and the nuclear threat:
- I don't want war. I want it less than almost anyone else. But if you think Iran should have nuclear weapons - there's something wrong with you, because they'll use them.
- The only question is whether they'll do it within an hour after obtaining them or within a day. They would blow up the entire Middle East, not just Israel.
- All those missiles that were launched against their neighbors were deployed a long time ago - long before they expected to use them so quickly. If we hadn't intervened, you would have had a nuclear war that escalated into a Third World War.

▪About Mojtaba Khamenei and the Iranian leadership:
Now they say that the son might have also died. They're all dead. My main problem is that I have no idea who we're talking to now - because no one has ever heard of any of these people. They're all gone.

▪About allies:
- There are several countries that support us very much. I'll name them soon. Some of them behaved very decently - one or two were just great. Who exactly - I'll say at the right moment.
- I heard that they're sending missiles to the UAE. I say: "That's strange - the UAE is something like a banker for Iran". Qatar, their neighbor - they also got along well. And suddenly - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait are being attacked. Bahrain is being attacked. All these countries are under attack. No expert would have predicted such a development of events.
- But the point is not whether we should have foreseen it. Even if we had known, we would still have had to do what we did.

▪About the Strait of Hormuz:
- The Strait of Hormuz is a great place, but right now you probably wouldn't want to sail a boat there. And you know why? Not because of them - but because of us. We don't know if any mines have been laid at all, but the mere thought of it scares people whose ships are worth billions of dollars.
- We don't know if any mines have been dropped in the Strait of Hormuz.

▪About Kharg Island:
- At some point, something will happen with the pipes.
- We destroyed the missile factories in Iran, and then more.

▪About tariffs:
- I'll start imposing tariffs again after the Supreme Court's decision - I'll do it differently.
