Q: Do we have the ability to destroy whatever is underneath Iran's Pickaxe Mountain?

Trump on the Iranian attack that killed two U.S. soldiers:

They did slip something through in Jordan. If we had other operators, that wouldn't have happened.

Trump on Iran:

We will absolutely attack the new site they’re talking about. They’re in this because of nuclear weapons, and they’re trying to reconstitute a nuclear site.

Reporter: Do you believe that Iran has moved nuclear centrifuges?

Trump: We follow the material. That’s where the action is, and we’ll be hitting that area very probably pretty soon.

Well, it’s a concept. We get along very well with the President of Syria. He’s done a very good job.

He’s pulled Syria together. He would like to come in and do something with Hezbollah.
