Jako cijenim želju predsjednika Trumpa da iranski sukob završi diplomatskim rješenjem koje je stvarno i održivo. Imam potpuno povjerenje u predsjednika Trumpa i njegov tim da će ostvariti taj zajednički cilj. Sve ću učiniti što je u mojoj moći, radeći na dvostranački način, kako bih pomogao predsjedniku Trumpu da postigne mir između Saudijske Arabije i Izraela.

se for alcançado um acordo para pôr fim ao conflito com o Irão, com base na convicção de que o Estreito de Ormuz não pode ser protegido do terrorismo iraniano e de que o Irão continua a possuir a capacidade de destruir as principais infraestruturas petrolíferas do Golfo, então o Irão será visto como uma força dominante que exige uma solução diplomática

Si se llega a un acuerdo para poner fin al conflicto iraní porque se cree que el Estrecho de Ormuz no puede protegerse del terrorismo iraní y que Irán aún posee la capacidad de destruir la principal infraestructura petrolera del Golfo, entonces Irán será percibido como una fuerza dominante.

Our allies in Israel have shown amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran. America is most appreciative. However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah’s regime. In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavor. https://t.co/OS8hYfXkWB - Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say The U.S. message to Israel was "WTF." https://t.co/OS8hYfXkWB

I am so pleased to hear that @POTUS is using the might of the U.S. military to go after drug cartels who have killed more Americans than any other form of terrorism. These cartels are vicious, have made billions profiting off Americans, engage in human trafficking and are the worst of the worst. Mr. President, your commitment to go after organizations like drug cartels who try to destroy our nation is the best of America First. At its heart, America First means a secure and prosperous America. To the enemies of our nation, truly a new sheriff is in town. -

Hezbollah has never been held accountable for the American servicemembers they’ve killed. That’s about to change. Call it Operation Semper Fi: a clear message that justice will be served. https://t.co/JzNcbY5s5h -

To say I’m disappointed in the joint statement by leaders from France, Germany and the UK regarding Operation Epic Fury is an understatement. It is so sad to see western democracies lose their passion for justice and a sense of right and wrong the further away from their shores the event occurs. Everyone in Europe is rightly impassioned about Russia invading Ukraine. But when it comes to the long suffering people of Iran, Europe has been pathetic. To the leaders of France, Germany and the UK: the Iranian people are not wrong to demand the end to their oppression from the bloodthirsty ayatollah’s regime that has American and European blood on their hands. You collectively are the ones that are wrong by refusing to come to the Iranian people’s aid and adding insult to injury, you’re suggesting we should continue to negotiate with religious Nazis. It is pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen. To the Iranian people: President Trump heard your cries. Help has arrived in large measure. To our European allies: you have gone pathetically soft and lost your zeal for confronting evil apparently unless it’s on your front porch. So sad. https://t.co/xgXMaNmhT7 -

After having time to absorb President Trump’s speech last night, it was absolutely an amazing performance. He was on message, appropriately aggressive and schooled the Democrats. @POTUS owned the room.   It is now time for Republicans in the Senate to hit the ground running with an aggressive agenda, showing the differences between the parties on the major issues, and also try to find common ground.   We need to legislate with the same spirit as President Trump’s speech. -

If it turns out to be true that Britain is denying the United States the ability to use British bases against Iran if there is a necessity for an attack - it would be beyond surprising.  I’ve been a military lawyer most of my adult life. What they’re saying about the status of Diego Garcia, the joint US-UK military base, is a huge question.  The bottom line is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet is the weakest it’s been because the people of Iran have risen up by the millions to end their oppression and the United States and Israel have delivered crushing blows to the regime’s military infrastructure.  To my friends in Britain, sitting this one out puts you on the wrong side of history and is yet another example of how much our alliances throughout Europe have degraded. -

To the American people: this is a long-awaited, seminal moment in world history. The Iranian people have risen up yet again, demanding an end to their oppression and misery, perpetuated by the ayatollah and his murderous regime.   The Iranian people are not protesting regarding a nuclear deal. They are protesting because they are tired of living miserable, fearful lives. They are tired of living in a country where a 16-year-old girl can be beaten to death for not wearing a scarf correctly. They are tired of the radicalism and the hate, and the embrace of the darkness.   To the American people: if Iran’s ayatollah, the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet, is replaced by people who want a better life for themselves and their children – it will make us safer and more prosperous at home.   God bless President Trump for urging the people to keep protesting and saying help is on the way. The regime is incredibly weak. Nothing is without risk.   Make Iran Great Again. -

I recently spoke with @POTUS and @SecRubio, and I very much appreciate their efforts to bring stability to Syria. It looks like President Trump’s efforts have paid off, at least in the near term. The Trump Administration is engaged, ensuring stability replaces the chaos that they inherited. I would encourage regional partners to reinforce President Trump’s message that we need stability not fighting. Secretary Rubio is very much hands-on in that effort. Neither the region nor the world needs another bloodbath in northeast Syria. To President Trump and Secretary Rubio: well done. Congress stands ready to help maintain stability and to push back against regional players who harm America’s interests by moving against reliable allies like the Kurds. Saudi Arabia is uniquely positioned to have influence on the Syrian government, and I hope they will exercise it for the benefit of the region and all concerned. Thank you President Trump for your leadership. -
