On Russia giving information to Iran about military assets: "It clearly is not making a difference with respect to the military operations in Iran because we are completely decimating them....we are achieving the military objectives of this operation and that is going to continue."

On whether reports Russia is supplying Iran with intelligence is hindering a peace deal with Ukraine: "I think the president would say peace is still an achievable objective...it's something this administration still wants to see and something the president will continue to work on."

On US taking control of the airspace in Iran: "We are well on our way to doing so."

On what POTUS means when he says "unconditional surrender": "When he as commander in chief of the US armed forces determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the United States of America and the goal of Operation Epic Fury has been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender."

On Mullin: "Senator Markwayne Mullin has been a strong friend of the president and a big supporter of the president's immigration's policies...he's exceptionally talented, qualified...we look forward to his expeditious confirmation and I know the White House will be working with our counterparts in the Senate to make that happen as quickly as possible."

On MAGA divide over Iran: "I would just remind people X is not real life. This president lives in the real world...there is nothing more America First than taking out terrorists who have maimed or killed our own servicemen and women, who chant death to America, and who pose a threat to the homeland.
