We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran, and we're going to be subject to finalization of documents, which should get done over the next few days, probably have a signing maybe in Europe, and it's a great thing."
  • "Stock markets up 1,000 points. That means they like the deal."
  • "we've been taking out many ships that nobody knew... over the last month, we've been taking out ships, big ships, quietly at night. You guys didn't know that... The last four or five nights we did 25, 22, 21, 26, 18 and 14. Who else would remember those numbers? Nobody."
  • "They will not only not have. They will not purchase, develop in any way, any shape -- in any way, shape or form a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon."

  • "We were hitting them very hard for the last three days. We're going to hit them even harder tonight. They knew that. We told them exactly what we were going to do."
  • "Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their anti-aircraft is gone, everything's gone. Their leadership is gone, many times over."
