00:00Yeah, Mr. President, these are backing down. We're seeing conflicting reports that they plan on continuing to attack Israel in support of Gaza. Does that change the equation?
00:10No, I don't know about that, frankly, but I know one thing they want nothing to do with us. And they've let that be known through all of their surrogates and very strongly.
00:20Is there a hostage deal that's imminent? And are you talking to Netanyahu right now about their plan to level the rest of Gaza?
00:34We're talking to him about a lot of things right now. This is really crunch time. I would tell you for Iran and for their country, this is a very important time for Iran.
00:47This is the most important time in the history of Iran for Iran. And I hope they do what's right. I'd love to see a peace deal, a strong peace deal.
00:55They cannot have a nuclear weapon. But I would say that this is the single most important period in the history of Iran, which is a long history.
01:04And we want it to be a great country. Let it be a tremendously successful, rich country. They have everything you need. The people are incredible.
01:11They have vast amounts of oil and assets. We want it to be a successful country. We don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that.
01:20But they can't have a nuclear weapon. And if they choose to go a different route, it's going to be a very sad thing.
01:26And it's something we don't want to have to do. But we have no choice. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon.
01:30They're not going to have a nuclear weapon. Do you understand that? OK.
