They (Iranian hardliners) are going to fold... I will deal with them until they make a deal.

Islamabad is working to arrange a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war and launching a broader dialogue between Washington and Tehran

The Democrats suffer from Trump derangement syndrome.

They don't even know what they're looking at. They can't even see straight.

Whatever is bad, I am gonna go for it, and the Democrats will approve it.

They've got serious Trump derangement syndrome, which actually is a disease. I'm hearing it is actually a disease. It's an honor.

I am being waited on by a large group of generals having to do with the absolutely lovely country of Iran.

We call them the "Dumbocrats," because they're dumb. They're dumb people.

I've been waiting so long for them to change. They just keep losing and they're going to keep losing with their policies.

It was an unacceptable proposal.

A lot of people say, “Does he have a plan?”

Of course I do have a plan. I have the best plan ever.

How stupid are they? Are they stupid people? They think that, well, I will get tired of this, I will get bored, I will have some pressure.

There is no pressure at all. We will have a complete victory. We already, in theory, have a complete victory from a military standpoint.

They killed numerous people over the last week, but they killed 42,000 people a month and a half ago — they were unarmed protesters.

Iran told me very strongly, "You are getting the nuclear dust, but you're going to have to take it out because the site was so obliterated that there's only one or two countries in the world that could get it."

They said, "You and China are the only ones that can take it out."

There are the moderates and the lunatics in Iran.

I think the moderates are more respected. The lunatics want to fight to the end. It will be a very quick fight.

We have lunatics in our country too. The moderates are dying to make a deal, and then you have the lunatics... and I guess they're a little bit afraid of the lunatics.

The Kurds take, take, take. They have a great reputation in Congress. Congress says, "Oh, they fight so hard." They fight hard when they get paid.

I am very disappointed in the Kurds. I said it wasn't going to work, by the way.

I disagreed with what they did. They gave it. I said, "They'll never get there." And I was right. I like to be right. In this case, too bad.

We sent some guns with ammunition [destined for Iranian protesters], and they were supposed to be delivered, but they kept it.

The ceasefire is unbelievably weak — after reading that piece of garbage they sent us (Iran's latest response), I didn't even finish reading it.

I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support.

I deal with them. I say it to them: “You people are crazy. You are crazy. You are nuts. You're not having a nuclear weapon.”

They know how I feel.

Nobody thought Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the UAE were going to get hit, or Kuwait, or Bahrain.

It was a tremendous strategic mistake, and they wasted those missiles. We have the Patriots that knocked them down every time.
