A few key takeaways from earlier today from President Trump and his team:

▪️ We have destroyed Iran’s military capabilities in recent weeks.

▪️ This is a display of power and capabilities the world has never seen.

▪️ We are crushing their missiles and their production capabilities-their navy is gone. We are eliminating close to 90% of their launchers.

▪️ We have destroyed most of the missile and drone factories.

▪️ Iran is begging to make a deal-not me.

▪️ They are poor fighters but good negotiators.

▪️ I don’t know if we’ll reach a deal.

▪️ The Iranians are sick, and they had a plan to take over the entire Middle East.

▪️ Their navy has been sunk, their air force is gone, and all of their air defense capabilities are gone.

▪️ These Iranians are sick, even satanic people.

▪️ Britain has disappointed me greatly-so has NATO.

▪️ We would come to NATO’s aid-they are not coming to ours.

▪️ Now they all want to help-they should have come before the war, not now.

▪️ I told them, “Thank you very much, but it’s not necessary.”

▪️ Britain’s aircraft carriers are toys compared to what we have.

▪️ 154 Iranian ships are now at the bottom of the sea.

▪️ Iran has been defeated. There is no way for them to recover from this. They now have an opportunity to make a deal.

▪️ We’ll see if I can make the right deal-open the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ They have an opportunity to permanently give up their nuclear ambitions.

▪️ Iran must reach an agreement or face continued American attacks.

▪️ As far as Iran is concerned-we will continue doing what we are doing.

▪️ This war is a test for NATO-the United States will remember this.

▪️ The Supreme Leader is no longer with us. It’s very sad-we should have prevented him from blowing up the world.

▪️ These people will kill as many Americans as they can when they have the opportunity, and if they obtain nuclear weapons, they could kill millions of Americans. That is a risk that should not be allowed to continue as long as we have this president. – Marco Rubio

▪️ We’ll see where things are going-whether we can convince Iran that there is no better alternative than a deal. – Steve Witkoff

▪️ There are strong signs that a deal can be reached. – Steve Witkoff

▪️ Here is a fact you’re not hearing on your networks: many of the Iranian factories and military bases we are systematically destroying were funded by piles of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran. – Pete Hegseth

▪️ We welcome a deal, and we have the ultimate dealmaker to achieve it-but in the meantime, as I said yesterday, the Department of War will continue negotiating with bombs. – Pete Hegseth

▪️ Reporter: “Will you go in and take the uranium?”

▪️ Answer: “Let’s just say-whether yes or no-why would you think I’d answer that? It’s a ridiculous question. It’s not like I’m going to tell you ‘tomorrow at 3.’”

▪️ When I heard the German Chancellor say, “This is not our war,” I respond: “Ukraine is not our war.”

▪️ I’m considering canceling the federal fuel excise tax.

HOLY SMOKES!! Sec. Marco Rubio just delivered a mic drop moment in the Cabinet room

“What I’m talking about is not the people of Iran. The people that run this country are RADICAL, SHIA CLERICS. These are religious FANATICS. Look what they are doing now at their WEAKEST point!”

“This is the weakest Iran has ever been, and look at what they’re doing. They’re attacking embassies. They’re attacking hotels. Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon!”

“That is an unacceptable risk for the world. By the way, the president’s not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world!”

“He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy Iran’s navy, and that is happening. We were going to, if it hasn’t already happened, I’ll let Pete speak to the specifics of it, we were going to destroy their missile launching capabilities.”

“We’re well on our way to achieving that goal. We were going to destroy the factory so they couldn’t make more missiles and more drones. And that is moving forward.”

“Every single objective the president clearly laid out on the first night of this operation is being effectuated.”

“For 47 YEARS, Iran has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet. And other presidents had an opportunity to DO something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act.”

“And THIS president’s not someone that’s going to refuse to act. He’s not going to leave a danger like this in place. He’s going to address it, and that is what he is doing.”

You make us PROUD, MARCO 🇺🇸
