Donald Trump described Iran as a country out of control, making the ironic comment that anyone who wants to be a leader in the country... eventually dies.
The American president said, among other things, that "when crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen."
He justified the attack on Iran by saying that "they would have used nuclear weapons against us if we had let them," implying that the Iranians would attack Israel.

He said of their leadership that it is "disappearing rapidly" and that "anyone who seems to want to be a leader ends up dead."
He was even quite… moderate about the success of the attack on Iran. “Someone asked: ‘On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rate it?’ and I said ‘about 15.’”
