Trump Claims He Won’t Attack Iranian Cultural Sites:
“If That’s What The Law Is, I Like To Obey The Law”

“They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to maim our people. They’re allowed to blow up everything that we have and there’s nothing that stops ’em.

“And we are, according to various laws, supposed to be very careful with their cultural heritage and you know what, if that’s what the law is, I like to obey the law.

“But think of it, they kill our people, they blow up our people and then we have to be very gentle with their cultural institutions. But I’m okay with it. It’s okay with me.” – Donald Trump, speaking this afternoon in the Oval Office.
