"Israel is capable of anything."
'Do you think America can do this now?' 'Yes, they are capable. Look, Israel is capable of anything, because Israel is fighting for its own existence. It's possible that Netanyahu's government is Israel's last government — because after these leaders go, and because they're losing in the polls, they will either not hold elections or they'll rig them.

Trump, in an interview with CNN, said: we destroyed all their nuclear material, we sent B-2 bombers there — and in saying that, he let slip nuclear weapons, as in, we used nuclear weapons too. Now, nuclear weapons weren't actually used at that time, but going forward, he could. Because Netanyahu is going to the US on Saturday, I think, and that's likely what it'll be about. And that's exactly why America hasn't struck yet — they're letting Iran strike first for now. Now the thing with a tactical nuclear weapon is the world hasn't seen one used. What is a tactical nuclear weapon? It's supposed to have lower radioactivity, cause less damage. But how much less? There's no chain reaction. It won't be Hiroshima-Nagasaki. But then what will it be? And does Iran even have a tactical nuclear weapon? Can you say?'
