Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in an interview with Fox News that he has spoken with China about Iran.

Trump added that he does not believe China wants the Islamic Republic to acquire nuclear weapons.

He said the Islamic Republic can either "agree or be destroyed." The President of the United States mentioned that he does not want to do such a thing, but the U.S. has the strongest military in the world.

Trump said we are dealing with the "third tier" of leaders in the Islamic Republic. He noted that the first and second tiers of leadership have been destroyed and believes that the third tier is "more logical" and in some ways "smarter" than the first and second tiers "who are no longer with us."

He compared this change somewhat to a "regime change."

Trump pointed out that the Islamic Republic took "five days" to respond to the U.S. proposal, which "wouldn't even take an hour," adding that the Islamic Republic has "a lot of chaos" internally and has "nothing but chaos."

Regarding China's support for the Islamic Republic, Trump said that Chinese President Xi Jinping firmly stated that he would not provide weapons to the Islamic Republic.

He added, "I hope" the Islamic Republic sees this interview because the U.S. can quickly destroy all the weapons they may have acquired during the ceasefire. Trump said, "We know exactly what they are doing... and everything they have done in the past four weeks, we can eliminate in one day."

The President of the United States said the war could have continued "a few more weeks" and it would have been over, but he stopped it at the request of several countries. Trump stated that the Islamic Republic has two options: "either agree or be destroyed."

Trump also mentioned that removing enriched uranium from Iran would be done more for "public relations" and he would feel better knowing that those materials are out of Iran.

The President of the United States added, "Getting it is a big project, really a big project."

He said, "At first, we thought about doing this, but it takes time; it would take about a week and a half, and that's a long time to be in enemy territory."

Donald Trump explained that "you have to move this massive amount of granite. You know, there's granite there. Granite is the hardest stone. It's really amazing because the bombs we used were incredibly powerful. And don't forget that in addition to that, we also hit it with Tomahawk missiles."

He said he does not think removing those materials from Iran is "necessary, except for public relations. I think it's important for the fake media that we get it. I was the one who said we would get it, and we will get it. We're keeping an eye on it."

Trump pointed out that with the U.S. "Space Force," which was his initiative, all movements around nuclear sites in Iran are monitored by the U.S.

He said, "I would prefer to get it, but we are watching it. We know exactly what is happening there. A few days ago, a man tried to enter that passage. We saw a door completely shattered. And we are aware of everything. If they ever make a move, and I have told them this, if they send a force and I see someone trying, the only thing we will do is hit that place with a few more bombs and it's over. They won't do such a thing."

Trump said, "I told them we have 9 cameras 24/7 at that location, at those three sites. We know exactly what is going on. No one has even come close. Initially, they checked and said there is no way anyone can reach that nuclear dust. But still, I would prefer to have it. I would prefer to get it."
