Hitler didn’t even say “Death to America, death to Britain.” I think he might have planned it, but he didn’t say it.

In Iran, they name streets after me. Do you know that? Well, after President Trump, too, obviously, because he's leading the fight.

But they have this; I don't speak Farsi, but they call me "Bibi joon": beloved Bibi.

While we were fighting the physical military battle on seven battlefields, seven-front war, we were completely exposed on the eighth front — the media war, really the social media war.

We've been busy, so we haven't seen that while they're attacking us with the equivalent of an F-35, we're trying to fight them with the Polish cavalry. It's like it's almost what happened in World War II.

We have to find ways to fight the battle for the hearts and minds of young Americans on social media.

We have a problem. I recognize it, and we have to get our act together.

We have several countries that basically manipulated social media with bot farms, with fake addresses, to break American sympathy to Israel and to break the American-Israeli alliance because they think it's in their interest. And they do it in a clever way.

You know, it's like you hear a text message, "I'm a red-blooded Texan. I always supported Israel, but I can't stand what they're doing. I'm turning against Israel."

And then you trace the address to some basement in Pakistan — that's something that has hurt us badly.

I go in the streets—I have a lot of support here, contrary to what people describe—and people tell me, “Bibi, you’re a king.”

And I say, “I’m not a king. Kings don’t have to be elected. I have to be elected. Can I have your vote?”

I think Mojtaba Khamenei is alive. What his condition is, it’s hard to say. He’s holed up in some bunker or in some secret place.

I think he's trying to exert his authority. I don't think he has the same authority that his father, the Ayatollah Khamenei had. That's also creating the disruptions in that regime, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

In the digital age we live in, people just scroll and scroll and scroll, and the sense of history becomes dim.

China gave certain amount of support and particular components of missile manufacturing, but I can't say more than that.

Does it really want to have Iran controlling the waterways to supply the energy that China needs? Would it not prefer to have open waterways that are not subjected to this kind of violent blackmail?

China should reconsider.

I think it's an interesting question of why this happens. I think there's a natural human tendency between people and collective groups called jealousy.

I think it's (envy) part of it. I don't think it explains all of it. There are many explanations for the durability of anti-Semitism.

Some of the Arab states say, and I never heard that before, "Let's strengthen our alliance with Israel because that, in fact, deters Iran. Let's strengthen our alliance with Israel because we can work up our defenses as a result of it. Let's strengthen our alliance with Israel because we can do amazing things with Israel."

Iran not only wants to kill Americans; they have killed and wounded them by the thousands, burned up your embassies, killed your Marines, burned your flags, tried to assassinate President Trump and some of your chief officials several times.

They're committed to destroy America.

I think it's at the weakest point it's been since it hijacked the Iranian people.

It's the weakest it's been. The hardliners are just as hardline as they were before, but there are fissures in the regime. There are cracks in it because they've been hit very hard by our joint efforts, our joint military efforts.

Hezbollah still hold Lebanon hostage — it's basically a proxy of Iran. Iran holds Lebanon.

We have no quarrel with Lebanon. We can make peace with Lebanon and want to make peace with them tomorrow, no yesterday, but you have this foreign body, this Iranian-backed terrorist organization that hijacked the country.

Hezbollah had 150,000 ballistic missiles and rockets before the war — that's the densest concentration of these projectiles on the planet.

They were all aimed to destroy our cities, not only to harass the north of the country with rockets, but to destroy our cities, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, you name it, with ballistic missiles that come raining down—each one has half a ton or a ton of explosives—it's like a bus coming down with amazing speed, and the destruction is terrible.

We destroyed more than 90% of that, but that still leaves them with thousands of rockets and some ballistic missiles, and that's still a big issue.

The Lebanese would like us to eradicate Hezbollah because they want freedom.

Who would want a country to be taken over by these killers, these murderers? Of course they want to be free, but they've not shown yet the capacity to fight them.

What we're talking to them about is how do we work together, to militarily and politically, possibly splitting up the work to get rid of Hezbollah. It's not yet been done. It has to be done as well.
