Almost 40 years ago, a seemingly meaningless interview eerily foreshadowed what is happening in the Middle East right now. What I am about to share with you is absolutely amazing, because it shows that the threat that Iran poses was very much on Donald Trump's mind even when he was a young man. Now he is in the White House, and we are witnessing things that we have never seen before. The U.S. and Israel are relentlessly destroying thousands of important targets all over Iran, and in return the Iranians continue to launch missiles and drones at targets all over the region. Shockingly, during an interview with Barbara Walters in 1987, Trump warned that there would be "a war" and that it would "start in the Middle East"…

'You're going to have a war, and it's going to start in the Middle East,' Trump predicted to Walters during the interview.

When he made that statement, Trump probably never imagined that he would be the president of the United States when that war finally began.

Sometimes we say things that we do not fully understand at the time.

That has happened to me many times, and I am sure that it has happened to many of you as well.

During that same interview, Trump told Barbara Walters that during a future conflict with Iran the U.S. should "go in and grab one of their big oil installations and I mean grab it and keep it and get back your losses"…

Footage has emerged of President Donald Trump warning of the threat posed by Iran's Supreme Leader and America's goals in a war with the nation, 39 years ago.

The video captured an interview with late journalist and television personality Barbara Walters in December 1987, where Trump appeared to predict the current crisis in the Middle East and laid out his war plans if he were president.

At age 41, Trump said: 'The next time Iran attacks this country, go in and grab one of their big oil installations and I mean grab it and keep it and get back your losses because this country has lost plenty because of Iran.'
