- Iran’s leaders “talk much differently when you’re at a meeting than they do to the press. They’re much more reasonable,” Trump said during a phone interview. “They’re agreeing to all the things that they have to agree to. Remember, they’ve been conquered. They have no military.”
- “If they don’t make a deal, it’s going to be very painful,” Trump added.
- Trump confirmed that conversation in his interview with NBC News on Thursday, saying the Israelis were “scaling back” operations in Lebanon.
- “I spoke with Bibi and he’s going to low-key it. I just think we have to be sort of a little more low-key,” Trump said
