U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about the Iran War and current issues. Trump said, "They stayed neutral, outside of what we asked from them. They really provided great support. President Erdoğan is a great leader. Turkey is a fantastic country." The U.S. President also stated that after Iran, Cuba would be next.
The war that began with the attacks of the USA and Israel on Tehran has been ongoing for 29 days, while US President Donald Trump made striking statements regarding the war and the future of the Middle East at an investment forum he attended in Florida.
In his speech, Trump also used flattering expressions about Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"I THINK TURKEY WAS FANTASTIC"
Speaking about Turkey, US President Trump said, "Turkey is a fantastic country. I think Turkey was fantastic, it was really great. There was tremendous support from countries that are not in the region, but they were extremely supportive."
"THEY STAYED OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE ASKED OF THEM, ERDOĞAN IS A GREAT LEADER"
Referring to Turkey's reluctance to engage in certain matters, Trump stated, "They stayed outside of what we asked of them. They remained neutral. They really provided great support. President Erdoğan is a great leader. Erdoğan is a great leader."
Stating that they have significantly weakened Iran's forces, US President said, "Under my leadership, America is eliminating the threat posed by this radical regime and is significantly weakening Iran's forces with the 'Epic Operation.' Fear is something that no one has ever seen before. We have, by far, the strongest military in the world."
HE CALLED THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ 'TRUMP STRAIT'
US President Donald Trump made the following statements in his speech:
"We are negotiating right now, and it would be great if we could do something, but they need to open it. Iran needs to open the Trump Strait... Uh... I mean the Strait of Hormuz. Excuse me, I’m so sorry. What a terrible mistake I made. The fake news media will say, 'He said it by mistake.' No. I don’t make mistakes.
"WE AGREED TO SELL F-35s TO SAUDI ARABIA, WE DON'T WANT OTHERS TO HAVE F-35s"
I want to thank the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You have been very helpful, unlike NATO. Saudi Arabia fought. Qatar fought. Bahrain fought. The UAE fought. Kuwait fought. Despite them hitting our 3 planes with the best missiles in the world. We agreed to sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia. The F-35 is fantastic. We are selling F-35s in a very measured way. We don’t want others to have F-35s.
"YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE, TURKEY AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES"
Indonesia was also fantastic. We have experienced so much that, you know, you understand who your friends are, really, you understand who your friends are, but Indonesia, Turkey, and many other countries. We also recognized our allies who are not by our side. This will cost them dearly.
We would always be by their side, but looking at what they are doing now, we don’t need to be by their side anymore, right? If they are not by our side, why should we be by theirs? We are helping NATO, but they never help us. If there is a major crisis, I guarantee you they will not be there. We have learned our lesson from this.
"THERE ARE 3,554 TARGETS LEFT IN IRAN"
Tonight, we are closer than ever to a Middle East free from Iran's terrorism and aggression. We have weapons that no one knows about except for a few people. There are 3,554 targets left in Iran. They will be hit swiftly.
I truly believe that we have saved not just Israel, but the Middle East. All those rockets that were rained down on you proved this.
The attacks on Iran are not a war, they are an operation. If this is a military operation, I don’t need any approval. If it is a war, you need to get approval from Congress. That’s why I call it a military operation.
"CUBA IS NEXT"
The supreme religious leader of Iran is no longer supreme, he is dead. His son is either dead or severely injured. Qasem Soleimani was so powerful that when I killed him, even the Iranian leadership was happy about it. No one can ask them this truth because they are also dead now.
Cuba is next. But please assume I didn’t say that. But Cuba is next. I thought oil prices would rise even more. But it’s not over yet. It seems over, but it’s not over yet."
