Trump: 'If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran'

“No one, to my knowledge, is proposing what you saw in Iraq with 150,000 troops mass to invade a country, overthrow its government and try to govern 80 million Iranians,” Cotton told the host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We’d like to see the regime change its behavior,” he continued. “But my point about the first strike and the last strike is, the United States is not going to take the first strike here. But if Iran attacks the United States or our allies in the first strike, then it will be up to America in a time and a manner of our choosing to take the last strike because our military will devastate theirs.”

When asked by Todd about the potential for Trump to meet with and negotiate directly with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Cotton demurred. “We’re focused on trying to deter military action against the United States personnel and our allies in the region,” Cotton said. “And that’s not very fruitful conditions for sitting down with any foreign leader.”

Lawmakers will receive a briefing on Iran this week from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan, CIA Director Gina Haspel and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, POLITICO

Breaking: He realDonaldTrump just walked it back. It was a joke folks!

So, looking at all of these anti-Trump tweets here, I take it that ppl here are good with a terrorist state threatening us and our way of life. You think our Pres. should tuck his tail & run. He is standing up (with words) to a radical regime that wants to destroy us & our allies

What's realDonaldTrump personal beef with Iran? Asking for a friend.

that's right!!

Yes, we already know Trump is an idiot. Stop helping.

Trump was put into office in order to destabilize the world, and it is working.

Mental health experts have warned that Trump could sacrifice everything to save himself. Where are the brakes on this runaway trump train wreck? GOP Anyone there? Hello? 🆘You really want to risk WWIII with this reckless saber rattling? Hello?🆘 Anyone?

Kinda missing the negotiation phase aren't we

Why would Trump care? Not like a single Trump will be sent to fight & possibly die. Trumps once again expect OTHERS to fight, while they stay warm, safe & collecting dividends on the corpses. War profiteering is against American laws, how canTrump/Kushner realm benefit from war?

The 'football' needs to be kept in Alaska.

It's re-election time,a good bloody war will fix it, Americans love a good war on foreign grounds. Maybe this time it will horrible go wrong. Don't mind you don't love your children anyway 🇳🇱

Soundbytes coming from China is that they are offering Iran cover to Iran.....good luck with that Trump taking on China who have more hardware and ICBM than US!!!!

trump is building up a war scheme agains iran to fulfill nra promisses, pay back his trumpfamily loans, pay the gop thugs and get reelected in 2020Election . backwardsusa does nothing to stop the warmongerer. nato, eu should cut ties.

Trump will use a nuclear weapon if we go to war with Iran count on it

Stop grooming us for war

Iran has been around twenty times longer than your criminal juggernaut. Kill at will as you do against less endowed, smaller nations with your cowardly arsenal purportedly built to fight world war III but only waged against vastly outmatched opponents but Persia will outlast you!

Hopefully the Official End of You.

What a reckless threat.

What Iran wants—Donald Trump is wrong to reduce it to “supporting terrorism,” report showsIran ultimately “intended to achieve absolute security, defined as the ability to thwart its adversaries’ ability to overturn its regime or invade Iran militarily,” according to a new report.
