Trump:

We don't want to see what's happening in Iran happen.

And you know, if they want to have protests, that's one thing.

When they start killing thousands of people and now you're telling me about hanging. We'll see how that works out for them. It is not gonna work out good.

Trump on Iran:

The killing looks like it is significant, but we don’t know yet for certain. I will know within 20 minutes.

Reporter: Will U.S. airstrikes on Iran result in protecting the protesters?

Trump: You never know, do you? So far, my track record has been excellent, but you never know.

Reporter: Iran says that it will retaliate…

Trump: Iran said that the last time I blew them up, they better behave.

Reporter: Do you have a message to the leaders of Iran?

Trump: They gotta show humanity. They gotta big problem. It would seem to be that they have been badly misbehaving, but that is not confirmed.

Trump:

I don’t know anything about the PM of Greenland. I disagree with him. That is going to be a big problem for him.

Reporter: Do you want to see democracy in Iran?

Trump: Ideally, we would like to see it. We don't want to see people killed, and we want to see a little bit of freedom for these people. These people have been living in hell for a long time...

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo:

We need to make sure that the story is told properly so that when the history books write this, they don’t write about the victims of Gaza...

I have a special message for the personnel of the armed forces: You are the national army of Iran, not the army of the Islamic Republic.

You do not have much time left. Join the people as soon as possible.

Netanyahu:

We’re fighting, obviously, to defend ourselves, but in so doing, we’re defending Europe.

This is something that in Brussels they don’t understand. And to my regret, many European governments don’t understand, but Viktor Orbán understands it perfectly.

Netanyahu:

Israel is perhaps one of the two great innovation states in the world.

It’s a powerhouse of innovation and technology — high tech, deep tech — which is changing by the moment.

Netanyahu:

We did let in immigrants from Africa — Ethiopian Jews — who came into this country.

I think it’s the first time that we actually transported Black Africans from Africa not to enslave them, but to liberate them.

Tony Dokoupil: Is there anything here in the U.S. that limits your power, other than your own morality?
