There have been initiatives by regional countries to reduce tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all such requests should be directed to Washington.

This is regime change because it is totally different people.

We are working to bring Iran to places it has never been before.

They will understand that they are below, and we are above.

Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner had them. They went, I would say, perfectly.

I would say that if they carry through with that, it’ll end that problem, that conflict—and I think it’ll end it very, very substantially.

The discussions took place yesterday. They went into yesterday evening. They want very much to make a deal. We’d like to make a deal, too.

We’re going to get together today—probably by phone, because it’s very hard to find a country. It’s very hard for them to get out, I guess.

But we will, at some point very, very soon, meet.

We're doing a five day period. We'll see how that goes.

If it goes well, we're gonna end up with settling this, otherwise we just keep bombing our little hearts out.

We are dealing with a man who I believe is the most respected and the leader.

It is not the Supreme Leader; nobody has heard from him, and we don’t know if he is living.

I dont want the leader of Iran to be killed; nobody wants that job right now.

We want the nuclear dust. We’re going to want that, and I think we’re going to get that.

We’ve agreed to that.

We want to see no nuclear weapons. We want to see Peace in the Middle East.

We want the enriched uranium, we've agreed to that.

If this happens, it is a great start for Iran to build itself back.

Tomorrow morning, we were expected to blow up their largest electric generating plants that cost over $10 billion to build.

One shot—It's gone. It collapses.

Why would they want that? So they called. I didn't call. They called. They want to make a deal.

I just want to have as much oil in the system as possible. We don’t even know if Iran gets that money.

Any small amount of money Iran gets is not going to make a difference in this war.

I am not a fan of the guy. If you look at his Truths, he was all for everything, and then he wasn’t.

His wife was killed; he remarried fairly quickly.

We gave him a job at the White House, and this is what he does to me.

You know the story of the paperclip?

182 years ago, a man discovered the paperclip.

There are many points of agreement with Iran right now like 15 points.

They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon—that’s number one. That’s number one, two, and three.

They will never have a nuclear weapon—they’ve agreed to that.
