特朗普在接受CNN采访时称，伊朗领导层已被“削弱”，他正在寻找新的领导层——即使是宗教领袖且伊朗并非民主国家——只要新领导人能善待美国和以色列。
“伊朗已经不是一周前的那个国家了，”他在简短的电话采访中告诉CNN，“一周前他们还很强大，现在确实已经被削弱了。”
他表示有信心轻松挑选新领导人——并强调这必须由他亲自参与——还再次将这一任务与委内瑞拉进行比较：美国今年早些时候推翻了尼古拉斯·马杜罗，并扶持其副手掌权。
“这会非常容易。就像在委内瑞拉一样。我们在那里有一位出色的领导人，她做得非常出色。就像在委内瑞拉一样，这会很顺利。” 他指的是代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯。
特朗普还表示，他不排斥伊朗出现宗教领袖：“嗯，我可能会接受，我的意思是，这取决于具体是谁。我不介意宗教领袖，我和很多宗教领袖打过交道，他们都非常出色。”
当被追问是否坚持要求伊朗必须成为民主国家时，特朗普回答：“不，我的意思是，必须有一位公正的领导人，能做好工作，善待美国和以色列，也善待中东其他国家——它们都是我们的伙伴。”
他继续吹嘘自己与中东国家的关系，声称这些国家“在为我们而战”。
“我和所有这些国家都建立了非常友好的关系，这就是它们为我们而战的原因。在我介入之前，我们甚至都不与阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯交谈。你知道，（乔·拜登）总统把它们拒之门外。拜登和（巴拉克·奥巴马）总统排斥沙特、阿联酋、卡塔尔，他把它们全都拒之门外。它们本来都要倒向中国，而我在很短时间内就和它们成为了朋友。”
尽管特朗普称赞美国对伊朗的行动——称其“在10分制中能得12分甚至15分”——但他暗示并不担心油价上涨。
“没关系，这只是短期的，很快就会大幅下降。”他表示，同时驳斥油价显著上涨的说法，并声称自己“已经解决了霍尔木兹海峡的问题”。
“我们已经摧毁了他们的海军，你知道，当你摧毁了他们的海军，他们就无法再做他们想做的事了。他们的海军几乎全军覆没，我们已经让大约25艘军舰失去了战斗力。你能想象吗？大型军舰——25艘已经被摧毁了。”
特朗普称古巴将“很快垮台”
特朗普还单独告诉CNN，古巴“很快就会垮台”。
“顺便说一句，古巴很快就会垮台，这和伊朗无关，但古巴也会垮台。他们非常急于达成协议，”他在电话采访中对CNN的达娜·巴什说，同时吹嘘其第二任期内的美军成功。
“他们想达成协议，所以我会派马尔科（ Rubio）去那里，我们看看会怎样。我们现在正专注于这件事。我们还有很多时间，但古巴已经准备好了——经过50年了。”
“我观察了50年，它（古巴）因为我而‘恰好’落到了我的手中，它确实垮台了，但无论如何，它已经垮台了。我们做得很好。”
一天前，特朗普在白宫表示，美国古巴人重返祖国只是“时间问题”，似乎称这是政府在伊朗持续战争之后的下一个议程。
“他（指国务卿）做得不错，接下来我们要处理古巴问题。”特朗普说，“他在等待，但他说‘我们先把伊朗这件事做完’。我们可以同时处理所有国家，但那样会出问题。如果你观察这些国家，你会发现处理得太快会出问题。我们不会让任何坏事发生在这个国家。”

President Donald Trump told CNN Friday that Iran’s leadership has been “neutered” and that he’s looking for new leadership that will treat the United States and Israel well, even if that’s a religious leader and it’s not a democratic state.
“Iran is not the same country it was a week ago,” he told CNN in a brief phone interview. “A week ago they were powerful, and now they’ve been indeed neutered.”
He expressed confidence in the ease of picking a new leader — which he’s said he must be involved in — and again compared the mission to Venezuela, where the US captured Nicolás Maduro earlier this year and put his deputy in power.

“It’s gonna work very easily. It’s going to work like did in Venezuela. We have a wonderful leader there. She’s doing a fantastic job. And it’s going to work Iike in Venezuela,” he said, referring to acting president Delcy Rodriguez.
Trump also said he was open to having a religious leader in Iran. “Well I may be yeah, I mean, it depends on who the person is. I don’t mind religious leaders. I deal with a lot of religious leaders and they are fantastic,” he said.
And pressed on if he is insisting there needs to be a democratic state, Trump told CNN, “No, I’m saying there has to be a leader that’s going be fair and just. Do a great job. Treat the United States and Israel well, and treat the other countries in the Middle East — they’re all our partners.”
He went on to tout his relationship with those countries in the Middle East, claiming they’re “fighting for us.”
“And I became very friendly with all those countries. That’s why they’re all fighting for us. Before I got involved, we didn’t even speak to UAE and Saudi Arabia. You know, (President Joe) Biden shut out. Biden and (President Barack) Obama shut Saudi Arabia, UAE Qatar, he shut them all out. They were all going to go to China, and I got involved in very short period of time that became my friends,” Trump said.
And while the president praised the US operation against Iran — saying it’s a “12, maybe 15 on the scale of 10” — he suggested he wasn’t worried about rising gas prices.
“That’s all right. It’ll be short term time. It’ll go way down very quickly,” he said, while dismissing that prices are up significantly and saying he’s “already figured out” the Strait of Hormuz.
“We’ve knocked their Navy because, you know, when you knock out the Navy, they can’t do what they wanted to be able to do. The Navy is almost, we just hit about the 25 mark. Can you imagine that? Big ones — 25 ships are down,” he said.
Trump suggests Cuba will soon ‘fall’
Trump separately told CNN that Cuba “is going to fall pretty soon.”
“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too. They want to make a deal so badly,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in a phone interview when touting US military success in his second term.
“They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put Marco (Rubio) over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years,” he added.
“I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap because of me, it’s fallen, but it’s nevertheless fallen right into the lap. And we’re doing very well,” he continued.
A day earlier, Trump said at the White House that it’s only a “question of time” before American Cubans can return to their home country, appearing to say that’s next on the administration’s agenda after the ongoing war with Iran.
“He’s doing some job, and your next one is going to be, we want to do that special Cuba,” Trump said referring to his secretary of state. “He’s waiting. But he says, ‘Let’s get this one finished first.’ We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen. If you watch countries over the years, you do them all too fast, bad things happen. We’re not going to let anything bad happen to this country.”
