At AIPAC, Trump promises to do three things about Iran.
“First, we will stand against Iran’s attempt to dominate the region.
“Iran is a problem in Iraq, a problem in Syria, a problem in Yemen, and will be a very major problem in Saudi Arabia. Hezbollah in Lebanon has received sophisticated anti-ship rockets like few other people or states. In Gaza, Iran supports Hamas and Islamic Jihad. In the West Bank they’re openly offering Palestinians $7,000 per terror attack and $30,000 for every Palestinian terrorist’s home that is destroyed.”
“We will totally dismantle Iran’s global terror network, which is big and powerful, but not powerful like us. Iran has seeded terror all over the world…in 25 different countries on five continents. Iran is the biggest sponsor of terrorism around the world, and we will work to dismantle that reach. Believe me. Believe me.”
Finally, “at the very least, we must enforce the terms of the previous deal to hold Iran accountable, and will enforce it like you’ve never seen a contract enforced, folks. Believe me.”
