Now, the question is, after that, and by the way, the instant the attack started, Democrats began attacking, not Iran, not attacking Iran.

The people who chant death to America, not attacking the regime that has been the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, not attacking the Iranian regime that provides over 90 percent of the funding to Hamas, over 90 percent of the funding to Hezbollah, over 90 percent of the funding to Houthis.

No, the Democrats didn't attack any of that.

What did they attack?

Our commander in chief, Donald J. Trump.

You know, it used to be that politics end at the nation's border, at our water's edge.

And yet today, the instant this military conflict began, the Democrats hate Trump so much.

Rather than stand with our troops, rather than stand for defeating our enemies, they immediately began cheering effectively for the United States to lose.

Well, look, they're wrong on both fronts.

Let's talk about what President Trump is demanding of Iran for this ceasefire to continue.

And mind you, this is a two week ceasefire.

There's no guarantee if Iran fails, the ceasefire will end.

But President Trump is making three demands, and I agree with all of them.

Number one, he is insisting that Iran engage in no enrichment, zero enrichment of uranium.

Now, Iran has been pressing back repeatedly, saying they have a right to enrich uranium.

Of course, Barack Obama and his disastrous Iran nuclear deal effectively protected their right to enrich uranium.

Which which was would have led inexorably to Iran having a nuclear weapon.

And listen, when you have an Ayatollah who's a religious zealot who chants death to America, who has killed nearly a thousand Americans, the idea of any universe in which he has a nuclear weapon where he could kill in the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans.

That's utterly unacceptable.
