They use AI. They said they attacked the USS Abraham Lincoln, one of the largest ships in the world, an aircraft carrier, and they show pictures of it burning. It was never attacked. It was never burning.

The Wall Street Journal put out a false story that five of our big, beautiful tankers that we feed the planes with the gas, the jet fuel, and thousands of gallons of gasoline were all essentially destroyed.

They weren't destroyed at all. In fact, four of them weren't. A slight damage, and it'll be back in the air soon.

But if you read the Wall Street Journal, it's like they were totally decimated and destroyed, like Iran has been.

The "kamikaze boats" don't exist. They're fake. And you can almost see that when you look at them.

If they did exist, we'd hit them just like we hit other boats all over the place. But they don't exist. In fact, some of the people say, "Where are the boats?"

How come nobody's seen the boats? You know why? Because it's AI-generated. It's fake. I didn't realize this before we started, but Iran is known for a lot of fake news, and they deal with our fake news.

I actually think it's pretty criminal because our media companies, who have no credibility whatsoever, are putting out information that they know is false.

It's a very dangerous thing for the country. I think they could be in serious jeopardy.

They're working with us.

Other fake news — they were saying, "Oh, did I have an argument with Bibi?" No, we really get along well.

He would tell you we're leading the whole thing. He can say it or not say it. It doesn't matter.

The main thing is to get it done. But my relationship with Bibi Netanyahu is, I would say, extraordinary, actually.

You're dealing with people that are violent and vicious. And that's the leadership and the people right under them.

A week ago and two weeks ago, they killed 32,000 protesters. At least we think the number is much higher than that.

They shot and killed 32,000 protesters who were greatly enthusiastic and wanted to see a change because the people running the country has destroyed it.

Now they put out a notice two days ago that we're going to shoot and kill any protester.

The protesters have no guns. So I can fully understand why they're not doing it.

One other thing that was AI-generated. They showed about 250,000 people in a square saying how much they love Khamenei, which is totally AI-generated.

It never took place. The media knew it didn't take place, but they built it up like they have great support. They don't have support.

That whole rally that they had 3-4 days ago was fake, it was AI-generated. AI can be very dangerous. We have to be very careful with it.

I was actually surprised to see the rally because I know how much the people hate this leadership. I found out today, it was a totally AI-generated fake news story put out by news organizations in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Honestly, they really shouldn't be allowed to do that.

We're talking to them.

But I don't think they're ready. But they're getting pretty close.

I don't know that I want to make a deal.

Nobody even knows who you're dealing with because most of their leadership has been killed. So I don't even know that we want to make a deal.

They want to make a deal badly, yes.

Our military is incredible. The job they've done is just incredible.

The problem is the fake stories written by you people, written by and generated by AI.

Did you know that the rally of 250,000 people at the supposed rally was fake?

Anybody knows there are not 250,000 people willing to stand in a circle and say how great Khamenei is.

The prices are going to come tumbling down as soon as it's over, and it's going to be over pretty quickly.

Israel's bombings of fuel depots in Tehran violate international law and constitute ecocide.

Residents face long-term damage to their health and well-being. Contamination of soil and groundwater could have generational impacts.

Israel must be punished for its war crimes.

These people would have used nuclear on the entire Middle East.

That was their plan: take over the whole Middle East. And it failed with the nuclear.

I am holding Cuba. Cuba is a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal.

I think we will pretty soon either make a deal or do whatever we have to do.

We're talking to Cuba, but we're going to do Iran before Cuba.

I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly.
