Donald Trump

Trump on Securing Strait of Hormuz:

"It would be nice if the countries, including China… it would be nice if those countries would get involved."

U.S. President Donald Trump on his plan for Iran's Kharg Island:

"How would I ever say that to a reporter? I can't tell you that."

U.S. President Donald Trump on the Iranian regime:

"We've been hitting them awfully hard. I don't know if you can possibly get hit harder. These are thugs, and animals, and horrible people... but I'm not surprised, they executed 3 young people for protesting."

Trump on Iran: "I don't want to do a ceasefire. You know you don't do a ceasefire when you're literally obliterating the other side."

Reporter: Do you think Israel will be ready to end the war when you are?

U.S. President Donald Trump: "I think so, yes. We want more or less similar things. You know what we want? We want victory. Both of us and that's what we've got."

A White House official told CBS News that the U.S. military "can take out" Iran's Kharg Island "at any time," and said President Donald Trump "retains all options."

Trump on Iran:

“It’s not even a contest.

They had a lot of great Russian and Chinese equipment, and it was useless against us.”

A spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters warns: “Saddam's fate awaits Trump and the criminal Netanyahu.”

White House: Trump has “no plans” to send troops into Iran, despite new deployments and Kharg Island blockade reports. Officials say U.S. forces could strike the island at any time but are keeping strategy under wraps.

Trump on Iran:

"We're having a hard time.

We want to talk to them, and there's nobody to talk to.

We have nobody to talk to.

And you know what? We like it that way."

Trump: He was my doctor and he said I'm the healthiest human being. Am I healthier than these guys back here?

Jackson: Yes sir

Trump: This is why I like him

Trump: NATO nations are cowards

Axios: Trump administration weighing plans to seize or blockade Iran’s Kharg Island to pressure Tehran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Guy Benson praises Trump’s Iran policy as smart return on investment: “We waste taxpayer money on nonsense, but spending big to degrade the number 1 killer of Americans, top terrorism exporter, and smash their nuclear ambitions? That’s a GOOD use of tax dollars.”

White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson:

"Nobody is changing this Administration’s immigration enforcement agenda. If you’re in the country illegally, you’re subject to deportation — and President Trump’s highest enforcement priority remains the deportation of illegal alien criminals who endanger American communities."

The Pentagon is planning to maintain the National Guard's federal mission in Washington, D.C., until January 20, 2029, through the rest of President Donald Trump’s 2nd term.

The plan is in its final stages and just requires Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's final approval, U.S. officials tell ABC News.

Netanyahu on Trump:

"I don’t think any two leaders have been as coordinated as Trump and I.

Trump is the leader, and I am his ally."

Netanyahu says Israel will halt further strikes on Iran’s gas infrastructure following a request from President Trump.

He adds that ground options to bring down the regime exist, but provides no further details.

Netanyahu: Israel acted alone against the gas facility, Trump asked us to hold off on future attacks

Netanyahu: "I want to close these opening remarks with one other fake news, and that is that Israel somehow dragged the U.S. into a conflict with Iran. Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do? Come on!"

Netanyahu: The world owes a deep to debt to President Trump

Lebanese Prime Minister, Najib Salam to President Trump:

Help us put an end to the Lebanese conflict. We are ready to begin negotiations with Israel immediately.
