Trump to ABC: 'Whoever has the power wins — and we have all the power' on Iran

In an interview with ABC News, former President Donald Trump said the Iran situation is 'quite simple' — the side with power wins, and the US has all the power. He warned that if adversaries are 'stupid,' the US may need to destroy an entire country's infrastructure. Asked if the US would help rebuild Iran after a war, Trump said yes, comparing it to the Marshall Plan, but added: 'We'll get half their oil.'
