💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

The countries of the world that do receive oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage.

They must cherish it. They must grab it and cherish it.

They can do it easily.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next 2–3 weeks.

We are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard, and probably simultaneously.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump to the countries of the world:

Go to the strait and just take it. Protect it. Use it for yourselves.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

We are unstoppable as a military force.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

We have not hit their oil, even though that is the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding.

But we could hit it, and there is not a thing they can do about it.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

We have all the cards, they have none.
