“Iran’s strategy was so obvious. They wanted to produce as many missiles as possible, and they did with the longest range possible, and they had some weapons that nobody believed they had. We just learned that out. We took them out, we took them all out so that no one would really dare stop them.”

One thing about him is that he has just so many kinds of stupidity that one ends up overwhelmed.

I mean you are wincing at “we just learned that out”, before considering that it is unlikely that the world’s biggest intelligence apparatus didn’t have a pretty good idea of what weapons Iran had.

Then he finishes up with “we took them all out so that no one would really dare stop them”. What the hell does that mean?

Would you not apply worst case scenario if you are uncertain, perhaps not nuclear warheads or ICBMS but certainly missiles with many 1000’s of km ability.
