LIVE: Trump speaks on Iran as he awards Medal of Honor to US soldiers (Full)

Published | Video Starts at 04:59

An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat to the Middle east, but also to the American people. Our country itself would be under threat, and it was very nearly under threat. I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by President Barack Hussein Obama. That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document. They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago and they would have used them. But I'll not let that happen. (04:59–05:06)
