U.S. President Donald J. Trump speaking about potential intervention in Iran during an exclusive interview tonight with Tony Dokoupil of CBS News:
Dokoupil: “Well, now we're hearing that they're [Iran] going to start hanging protesters tomorrow. So it comes back to the question, have they crossed your red line or has the line moved?”
Trump: “I haven't heard about the hanging. If they hang them, you're going to see some things that - I don't know what your, where you come from and what your thought process is - but you'll perhaps be very happy.”
Dokoupil: “What do you mean by that?”
Trump: “We will take very strong action. If they do such a thing, we will take very strong action.”
Dokoupil: “And this strong action you're talking about, what's the end game?”
Trump: “The end game is to win. I like winning. And we're winning.”
Dokoupil: “How do you define that in Iran?”
Trump: “Well, let's define it in Venezuela. Let's define it with al-Baghdadi. He was wiped out. Let's define it with Soleimani. And let's define it in Iran, where we wiped out their Iran nuclear threat in a period of about fifteen minutes once the B-2s got there. And that was a complete obliteration, as it turns out, which is what I said initially. Then some questioned it, and they said, you know, Trump was right. So we've been right about everything. We don't want to see what's happening in Iran happen. And, you know, if they want to have protests, that's one thing. When they start killing thousands of people, and now you're telling me about hanging, we'll see how that works out for them. It's not going to work out good.”
