Trump: It's possible. We have a lot of weapons.
Q: Last week you said you might destroy Iran. That was the exact wording you used.
Trump: Yes, I would do it. It is possible.
Q: How can a peaceful president call for the destruction of an entire nation?
Trump: Because by destroying Iran, we create peace in the world. With Iran, I don't think peace can be achieved.
Q: Initially, you said that the war in Iran would last about six to eight weeks. We are already in the seventh month. Can you explain why it is taking so long?
Trump: Only because I wanted to go further. I could stop then, but I want to go further.
