特朗普称伊朗打击将推高油价，否认受选举影响

Mr. President, thank you. Um, sorry, the recent, uh, resumption of US strikes on Iran have sent oil prices back up to $95 a barrel. How, how long will this renewed campaign and, and also, um, given that what you've said about having destroyed the Iranian military. What is there still left to strike and why? We've controlled and we are controlling the hormone rate. We are Bringing lots of boats out every day with millions of barrels of oil.

We are for the most part doing it without trouble. Every once in a while they shoot a drone and knock it down, but we have very strong control. They were trying to rebuild their radar systems and a missile system and a mine drop, you know, we got rid of all the mines and the Harmon Strait. They were trying to build a rocket that drops mines. Who does that? Did you ever build a rocket that dropped? I never heard of such a thing, but that's what they were. they were building it was almost finished and we took it out.

We saw that they were building. We see everything that they're doing. They can't move. They can't go to the bathroom without us seeing it, so we saw that. We took it out. We took out some other things, and then we hit them last night because they took a shot at us in Jordan at our base in Jordan. We knocked all of them down. There were, I guess 8 missiles that were shot. They were all knocked down. When we let go because it was so inaccurate it landed in the middle of the desert someplace, so we let it go sometimes we let them go. if they're not aimed correctly.

It's an amazing science. What they can do is absolutely incredible. We had a case where 111 were shot at a certain ship, fellas, and 100 out of 111, all 111 were knocked down. Can you imagine that? Now, 5 years ago, 7 years ago, you couldn't do that. Today we have technology that's incredible. Nobody has technology like we have. So, um, We hit him hard last night, very hard. They Gave a little love tap, but we hit him very hard last night.

We took out all of the new equipment that they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz. Some defensive, some offensive. They were trying to see the ships because they can't see the ships, you know. We're taking out a lot of ships. They can't see it because they have no radar because we blew it up and we blew up much more than their radar last night. It was a very heavy attack last night and we're prepared to do another one anytime we want.

I do think this, I do think this we had. gasoline selling when I decided that I have to go in and stop this because we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon, so a little more than a year ago, gasoline in Iowa. I was in Iowa making a speech. It was $1.95 and then it went to $1.85 past another station. I went 195, think of that, and 185 and right after that I called everybody into the office, made my speech, and I said we have a problem because Iran is soon going to have a nuclear weapon.

And I hate to do this, but we're gonna have to do it. Oil will go up and probab
