Iran has always used this as a choke point.

President Trump is reducing or eliminating that capability.

This is about American interests.

This is surgical, and I think he's going to try to do everything he can to minimize the casualties, as we said, sad that we'd have any casualties.

But also, he's opened the door for the Iranian people.

We've seen the picture of people in the streets celebrating.

This is a generational opportunity for them to step up and take their country back.

This regime has done nothing except shout death to America, death to Israel.

And look at what's happened now in the wake of this most recent episode.

They've actually gone out and attacked their allies in the region.

I think the world's sentiment is turning against this regime.

They need to go.

You know, I've not had those sort of intelligence briefings, but I can say this.

Iran is consistently positioned and postured itself so that it continue to create and wreak mayhem in the area.

If you think about how unserious their negotiations have been, when Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left the negotiating table just this past Thursday, there was no willingness of Iran to actually take this seriously.

They still kept taking everything off the table that were our red lines.

So it's clear they had no interest in peace.

They had no interest in negotiating.

All they're trying to do is what they've done for so many times before, which is just tap America along.

This president is unwilling to accept that, and I applaud it.
