Trump Slams Iran's Human Rights Record in Shot at Critics of the War: They Throw Gays Off Buildings'

"We did this excursion. We had to do it. Wipe out evil. Sometimes you have evil, and for 47 years they've been killing people, you know, in the most violent way. The roadside bombs [that are] all over the place, 95% of them are from Iran, [Iranian Commander Qasem] Soleimani, that was the one we took him out."

"I was a bit shocked too, like everyone else in the world was like, 'This is the greatest thing'. I was shocked that so many activists in America didn't like it. But meanwhile, they're like, 'Oh, well, we support women. We want women to have all these rights.' Meanwhile, you're liberating the women of Iran. And then they have an issue with it."

"We support gays, but they throw gays off the buildings. I mean, the things they do and they're fighting, but I think I have tremendous support on this. This is something that's been incredible."

President Trump justified military operations against Iran in an interview with YouTuber Jake Paul, framing the campaign as a necessary confrontation with evil after 47 years of Iranian violence. Trump attributed roadside bombings to Iran and referenced the 2020 killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani as justification. Paul expressed surprise that American activists opposed the strikes despite claiming to support women's and LGBTQ+ rights, noting Iran executes gay people and oppresses women. Trump agreed with Paul's characterization, stating the regime's human rights abuses contradicted activists' stated values. Trump claimed he had tremendous support for the military operation, positioning it as long-overdue action against a regime with a documented history of killing people violently.
