“Iran is a much different country than it was when I became president. … Every part of the Middle East, and other places that was under attack, was under attack because of Iran. … Iran is no longer the same country. Iran is pulling people out of Syria. They can do what they want there, frankly. But they're pulling people out. They're pulling people out of Yemen. Iran wants to survive now. Iran was a power in the Middle East. They were going to take over the whole Middle East. … They're having riots every week, in every city -- bigger than they've ever had before. Their currency is under siege thanks to us.”
