For 47 years, the Iranian regime has regularly targeted and killed Americans. And while Democrats talk tough on Iran, they sought no action. In 2008, before becoming Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton said she would attack Iran if president. If Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, what would our response be? And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. Of course that never happened. She lost the nomination to Barack Obama, who instead sought to make a deal with Iran. Over the years, Iran moved closer and closer to having the ability to build a nuclear weapon. President and I decided that a strong, confident America could advance our national security by engaging directly with the Iranian government. But a week after Obama said that, John Kerry admitted that the Iran nuclear deal would give money to terrorists. You believe that any of that $55 billion ends up in the hands of terrorists? I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or of other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists. We'll fast forward to 2022, when President Biden's press secretary said Iran was accelerating its nuclear program. Iran has rapidly accelerated its nuclear program and reduced cooperation with international inspectors in nonperformance of Iran nuclear deal commitments. Their breakout period is down from about a year, which is what we knew it was during the deal, to just a few weeks or less. But all Biden said was don't, and a couple months later, Obama admitted he made mistakes with Iran by not helping activists on the ground more. And in retrospect, I think that was a mistake. Every time we see a flash, a glimmer of hope, of people longing for freedom, I think we have to point it out. We have to shine a spotlight on it. We have to express some solidarity about it. Well, now, today, it's President Trump who sought action while Iran is trying to talk tough. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country? No, we are waiting for them. You are waiting for the U.S. military to invade the ground troops? Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them. Maybe he missed President Trump taking out the ayatollah along with 49 others before out those counting votes for the next Ayatollah.
