If you believe that, which I do, then you gotta say, okay, we cannot tolerate that. We cannot tolerate Iran having a nuclear weapon. Why Iran? Because Iran was the biggest sponsor of state terror, killed more Americans over the last 20 years than any other country in the world through terrorist proxies. And because it says explicitly we want to destroy the great Satan. You don't have to guess what they're thinking. And so regretfully, I thought we got to get that. (30:38–30:47)

CLAIM

Asserts that Iran has been the largest state sponsor of terror, responsible for more American deaths via proxies in the last 20 years than any other country.
