A senior Israeli official tells @BarakRavid on #Iran about a sweeping target set: "The goal is to create all the conditions for the downfall of the Iranian regime. We are targeting the entire Iranian leadership - political and military - past, present, and future. Developments will also depend on the extent to which the Iranian people rise up."
I just listened to President Trump’s 8 minute speech again, describing what is taking place and urging the Iranian people to seize the moment. His speech will go down in history as the catalyst for the most historic change in the Middle East in a thousand years.
I echo President Trump’s call to the Iranian military, IRGC and security forces to lay down their arms. I echo his call to the Iranian people to take back their government.
President Trump was right when he said he’s the first president in 47 years to stand with the people of Iran and give them the backing they need.
I am confident this operation will be successful and the liberation of the long suffering people of Iran is at hand. From their liberation the path toward peace and prosperity for the region and throughout the world will be long and wide.
Again, well done Mr. President.
To any dealmaker regarding Iran: please understand your deal will have to come to the Senate and be tested. When it comes to matters like this, it’s not about a political party to me. I am going ask the hard questions no matter who presents the deal.
To say I’m suspicious that the ayatollah and his regime will change and keep their word is the biggest understatement in history. I would also caution, beware of anything that comes from Oman.
It is clear to me that the best and only long term answer is to stand with the Iranian people and demand regime change.
When the Iranian regime chants “Death to America,” we should take them at their word.
They’re building weapons as we speak to destroy the WEST.
It’s time for President Trump to END this terrorist regime for good.
America and the world would be a much safer place with a free Iran.
Today I designated Iran as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention. For decades the Iranian regime has cruelly detained innocent Americans and citizens of other nations to use as political leverage. Iran must end this abhorrent practice and immediately free all unjustly detained Americans.
When the Ayatollah chants “Death to America,” he means it.
He is building weapons to try to make that threat real.
The end of the Iranian regime would immeasurably improve the safety and security of Americans.
Tehran is still pursuing a nuclear weapon, has funded terror, and has massacred thousands of innocent Iranian civilians fighting for freedom and democracy.
We can’t weaken our hand when it comes to negotiating with this tyrannical regime.
SECRETARY RUBIO: The fact that Iran insists not just on enrichment, but locations inside of mountains – I think you would have to lack common sense to not know what that means or what that could mean.
SECRETARY RUBIO on IRAN: Iran poses a very great threat to the United States, and has for a very long time. They’re not enriching right now, but they’re trying to get to the point where they ultimately can.
If media reports are true that there is a consideration of allowing Iran to have very small enrichment of uranium for face-saving purposes: screw that.
This regime is made up of religious Nazis that are the largest state sponsor of terrorism. The regime has American blood on its hands and they have killed over 30,000 of their citizens simply because they demand the end to their oppression.
I could care less about efforts to save face for this regime. I would like to see the people of Iran change the regime – it’s long overdue.
I hope help is on the way.
