My goodness.
I had no idea Trump actually said this back in 1988.
Seize Qeshm Island!

Translation of Trump's original 1988 remarks:
"I would take a tough stance against Iran. They've been psychologically dominating us, portraying us as fools. As soon as one of our personnel or vessels is fired upon, I would launch a fierce attack on Qeshm Island and immediately occupy it militarily.
Iran can't even defeat Iraq, yet they dare to constantly provoke the United States. Actively checking Iran’s power would benefit the entire world."
