Trump: U.S. could leave Iran 'right now' but staying longer so they can 'never rebuild'
CNBC
President Donald Trump's comments followed reports that the Pentagon is sending up to 2,500 more Marines to the Middle East from San Diego.
President Donald Trump on Friday said U.S. could pull out of Iran "right now" and still leave Tehran unable to rebuild its military capabilities for a decade.
But that's not "an acceptable situation," Trump told MS Now's Stephanie Ruhle in a phone interview.
"If we left right now, it would take them at least 10 years to rebuild, but rebuild they will," Trump said in the roughly 15-minute call.
