When asked whether Hezbollah would disarm under the current agreement, Trump said that the group "should disarm."

We are at your command; the task assigned to us by the Supreme Leader is to pursue the realization of the conditions and clauses of the agreement.

In the event of bad faith, breach of contract, and excessive demands by the opposing side, we have no hesitation in delivering a crushing response to the enemy.

They were once slapped during the war; if they wish to tread that path again, they will receive an even harder slap.

I'm genuinely still angry at George W. Bush.

You can't say Saddam Hussein was Adolf Hitler. He wasn't.

You have to be careful with that.

I don't think George W. Bush was careful with it... he drew on that wellspring of patriotism to direct us to do something that we shouldn't have been doing in the first place.

Donald Trump is much different as a human being than the media makes him out to be.

He's very warm. He's a very loving person to his kids and to his grandkids. He's incredibly generous.

If you see Donald Trump in the Oval Office, he has to give you a gift. Whether it's a water bottle, a MAGA hat, a coin, or a pin—he's one of those people who really likes hospitality.

He really likes making other people happy.

Trump is super smart. He reads a lot. He understands people at an instinctual level better than anybody I've ever known.

He is a very, very—just from a pure IQ perspective—smart person.

If you gave Donald Trump an IQ test with the other 45 or 46 presidents that the United States has had, I guarantee he'd be either near the top or at the top.

Do I think there are people within Israeli society who would like to turn Iran into Libya, basically a failed state with 90 million people? Probably.

But I don't know that Bibi wants that. I've actually never had that conversation with him. It would be an interesting conversation to have.

I'll tell you right now: is Iran turning into a Persian Libya good for the United States of America? Absolutely not.

Sometimes people mischaracterize the relationship and say that Israel and the United States are fundamentally always aligned. That's just not true.

We're different countries. We have different needs. We have different geographies.
