In an interview with CBS News, Trump responded to Larijani’s post on X saying the U.S. should pay for attacking Iran. He said,

Trump called Iran’s leaders weak and on the decline, stressing that U.S. strikes will continue and demanding the Iranian government’s "unconditional surrender."

He added, "We’re winning at a level and at a speed that’s never been seen before."

Trump said his focus is on U.S. military operations and on the countries that have backed his strategy and strikes from the start.

Asked whether he expects U.S. allies to step up their efforts, Trump said, "I don’t care. They can do whatever they want. The ones who’ve been loyal are already standing with us."

Trump called sending British warships too little, too late, saying, "Isn't that a bit late? A little late."
