President Donald Trump said that he wants to 'wipe out the IRGC' like what was done to ISIS. He was responding to a question from a Fox News correspondent.

Transcript:

Question: You came to the conclusion that you couldn't negotiate with the IRGC. Does that mean that you might wipe them out like you did with the ISIS?

Trump: “Yeah, it does. We will see what’s happening. We received a call just as I was coming here. That they want to meet. They always want to meet. But you know, this should have been done by other presidents for many years, for 47 years, but really a lot longer than that. And it wasn’t. And I never understood why, but now I do. Because if you’re not going to do it the way I’m doing it, you’re never going to make a deal with them. They were very difficult. They’re good negotiators who were tapping everybody along for 47 years. Then Obama came in and he just offered them, you know, a fortune of money. He paid them off, $1.7 billion in green cash and hundreds of billions of dollars. And that really set everyone else back because they started making, wanting to make nuclear weapons. And then we hit them a year ago, just about a year ago with the B-2 bombers, and that ended that. So, we got a little bit lucky. Our timing was a little bit lucky.”
