Trump: ‘We Are Not Looking for Leadership Change’ in Iran

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Iran is a country that is not the same country that it was two and a half years ago when I came into office. Iran was the number one state of terror in the world. There were 18 sites of confliction in my first week when I spoke with the folks at the Pentagon, including lots of generals and lots of other military experts, 18 sites of confliction, meaning 18 sites of big problems. Every one of them was backed by Iran or, in some cases, using Iranian soldiers but at a minimum Iranian wealth, much of it given in a ridiculous deal where they were given $150 billion plus $1.8 billion in cash and used that money for some bad purposes. With that being said, I think that Iran is a country of tremendous potential. We are not looking for leadership change. We are not looking for that kind of change. This country has been through that many times before. That doesn’t work. We are looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles, and a longer period of time. Very simple. We can have it done in a very short period of time. And I really believe Iran can be a great nation. I would like to see that happen. But they can’t have nuclear weapons.”
