We are reloading bigger and better than ever before.

As our negotiators have said, you, Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge, and we hope that you do for the people of Iran.

In the meantime, and for as long as it takes, we will maintain this blockade, successful blockade. But if Iran chooses poorly? Then they will have a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power, and energy.

At the direction of President Trump, the war department will ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon, never.

China has assured us that they will not give Iran military assistance.
