Trump:
▪️ The Strait of Hormuz will be opened soon.
▪️ Negotiations with Iran are going well, but Tehran is reluctant to acknowledge it.
▪️ If they back down again, they will face a severe blow.
Trump:
If you look at the economy, if you look at what is happening... for example, Iran will never have nuclear weapons. They can't have them right now, but this will be made official.

The Strait [of Hormuz] will be opened very soon; otherwise, they will face a very severe blow, and after that, the strait will be opened.

We were ready to carry out a massive attack; the largest attack since World War II. Then they called me and very politely said, "Please, can we talk? Can we have a dialogue?" They didn't want to... [sentence unfinished].

I said, "Yes, we can talk. Let's finally get this done. Let's do it."

This is something that other presidents should have done over the past 50 years. You know, you keep hearing the number 47 years, but it's been three years since that number was mentioned; now it's been over 50 years.

Other presidents or other countries should have been able to do this.

I did what I had to do; because if they had nuclear weapons, the whole world would be a different place.

Fox News Reporter:
If they back down again and violate the agreement, is it over for them?
Trump:
If they violate the agreement again, they will face a really hard blow. They know this and understand it. I have no other choice. They cannot have nuclear weapons. It's very simple.

It's not like we say, "Well, let's think about something else." No; many presidents should have done this over the years, but they didn't. Now I'm doing it.

Obama was completely taken for a ride. He thought he could pay his way out of this situation. He gave them billions, tens of billions of dollars; and in a very foolish manner.

$1.7 billion in cash, greenbacks, on a Boeing 757; a plane full of cash. They probably saw it and said, "You must be joking!"

No, you can't pay your way out of such a situation; the only way is to fight your way out.

If we hadn't done these things, they wouldn't be negotiating. We dealt them a very, very hard blow. But a harder blow is still on the way, and I hope we don't have to use it. I hope we don't have to.

We have very good talks. They don't like to admit this, but it's a bit annoying. We tell people like you that we have amazing talks, then someone from Iran comes and says, "We haven't met, we..." [sentence in the subtitle is unfinished].

All day they tell such lies. Do you understand? It's unbelievable. They say, "We didn't do this." They say they haven't talked about the nuclear issue.
Well, then what are we talking about? Are we just sitting there twiddling our thumbs?

But it doesn't matter. These are just words. The only thing that matters is action. They want to make a deal. We'll see what happens. If they don't make a deal, it will be very bad for them.
