Once Iran opens for business under a new democratic government, it will generate roughly $1 trillion for the US market within the first 10 years, alongside billions of dollars of direct investment into Iran.
“We figure about 1 trillion in the first 10 years to the US market but also billions of dollars that will be invested into Iran and everything that we need to have done in order to rebuild our country.”

Explanation
The premise ('once Iran opens for business under a new democratic government') hasn't occurred: as of August 2026 Iran's regime remains in place, significantly weakened by the 2026 war but not replaced.
Following the fall of the current regime, Iran's transition will follow a defined timeline: a 4-month process to reach a referendum, a 6-month process to draft a constitution, and a 14-month process to finalize and vote on that constitution.
“when there is a free Iran there will be a four-month process to get to a referendum. Um, and then a six-month process to assemble Iranians to write a constitution. Uh and then a 14-month process to actually finalize the constitution and then have a vote on the constitution.”

Explanation
The premise (fall of the current regime) hasn't occurred, so this transition timeline can't be evaluated.
The military operation to dismantle the remaining capabilities of the Iranian regime will take about 4 more weeks to complete.
“we have to let the that run its course. Uh as the president said, this is probably about 4 weeks of work.”

Explanation
The military operation against Iran, which began February 28, 2026, did not conclude within about 4 weeks; a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire and MOU only came roughly four months later in June 2026, and even then it left the regime weakened but intact rather than its capabilities fully dismantled.
