Trump in 2023 on Iran's retaliation after Soleimani's death:

Iranians called us up and they said listen ... we have no choice, we have to hit you.

Because we have our own self respect and I understood that.

We hit them, they've got to do something.

They told us that don't be concerned we're going to launch 18 missiles at your military base, but none of them will hit the base.
