Trump: ‘The Strait Is Open, It Will Be Open’

‘We’ve cut down their capability very substantially’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “When you see a young former soldier walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that’s been horribly, horribly hurt, that was done by Iran. That was done by Soleimani. He was a person that was very evil. He was an evil genius. He was looking to take out a lot of our military installations in Iraq and Iran. And I got him before he got us. So, we have to do what we’re doing. And the Strait is open. It will be open. We’ve cut down their capability very substantially, but they, you know, they’re going to fight for a while. Our military has done a fantastic job.”
