Trump, in a speech in Syracuse, New York, said: “I prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and blowing up the entire Middle East. In the end, this could have gone far beyond the Middle East, including Europe, and perhaps even us.”

He said: “The fate of Iran, in whatever way, will be made clear very soon. Either they give us what we want, or they will not exist. They know this.”

Trump emphasized that the issues of Russia, Ukraine, and Iran are advancing at a very fast pace.”
