"I don't want to be drawn in either, but I've been saying for 20 years, or maybe longer, that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. I've been saying that for a long time. And I think they were weeks away from having it. And they should have signed the document. I think they would like to sign it now. It was a fair deal. And now it's harder to sign. I'll say it very simply, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Too much destruction. And they would use it. You know, I believe they would use it. Others won't use it, but I believe they would use it. That's all. It's very simple, as far as I understand it," Trump said.
