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:

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

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I heard the head of Germany say, “This is not our war” for Iran.

I said, well, Ukraine is not our war—we helped.

We have very substantial talks going on with the right people.

Iran shouldn’t be able to charge toll through strait, but they are doing it a little bit.

The reason they want to make a deal is because they have been beat to shit.

I may go to Venezuela and run for president against Delcy. It is an option. They like me there.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Europe:

We are there to protect Europe from Russia; in theory, it doesn’t affect us—we have a big, fat, beautiful ocean.
