‘Two Very Simple Words’: Trump Makes His Stance On Iran Unequivocally Clear

President Donald Trump clarified his demands for the end of the conflict between Israel and Iran.

“Two very simple words, unconditional surrender,” Trump told Jennifer Griffin of Fox News on Wednesday.

“I’ve had it, I give up,” Trump added, referring to Iran. “You know, the three for 40 years they’ve been saying death to America, death to Israel, that to anybody else that they didn’t like. They were bullies. They were schoolyard bullies.”

Trump clarified that “war is very complex” and that “I wouldn’t say that we won anything yet,” but that they “sure as hell made a lot of progress.”

Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social, calling for “unconditional surrender.”

“We’re not looking for long-term war,” Trump addressed his base on Wednesday at the installation of the White House’s new flag pole. “I only want one thing: Iran can not have a nuclear weapon.”

Trump warned that Iran’s access to a nuclear weapon could result in them using it on the U.S. and other nations, adding that they “would be a terror all over the world.”

“All I’m doing is saying you cannot have a nuclear weapon, and I tried to do it nicely, and then on day 61, I said, ‘Let’s go’ because we can’t let that happen. And I’ve been saying it for 20 years,” Trump concluded.
