Trump on Iran: We are not currently engaged with the Houthis, but if they cause problems, we may be forced to take action.

Reporter: Do you and Netanyahu share the same views on Iran?

Trump: We have some differences, but we are almost aligned, yes.

Trump on Iran: Iran has been severely beaten in the last 14 days.

They politely asked us: "Please stop. Let's meet."

Reporter: Zelenskyy says that Russia is providing Iran with satellite images of U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf.

Trump: If this is true, we will investigate. I will ask Putin about it.

Even if it is true, it probably won't have much of an impact.

Trump: We are taking billions and billions of dollars from Venezuela.

The same thing will happen to Iran.

Trump: We will use Iran's money to pay for damages to the ships.

The money from Iran, which is under our control, will be used. Isn't that good?

Reporter: Netanyahu opposes the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey.

Trump: No one dictates to me what I should sell or not sell. Turkey has been an incredible ally.

President Trump aboard Air Force One:

"A lot of countries would NOT survive without us, and you know who wouldn't survive without us? Israel. Bibi's coming, he'll tell you, if I didn't get involved and if I didn't blow up, those nuclear facilities, essentially, soon to be nuclear weapons, the dust, as I call it, Israel would have been terminated months ago!"

"And years ago if I didn't terminate the Obama-horrible agreement."

Reporter: Is Netanyahu asking you to reach an agreement with Iran, or does he want you to continue with the attacks?

Trump: Netanyahu has been great. Iran is now 8% of what it was four months ago.

Gadi Eisenkot, former Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, on Iran: Regarding Iran, there is one ultimate goal and two other very important goals. The ultimate goal is to remove approximately 440 kilograms of enriched uranium from Iran.

If this is not done, the Iranians could, at their own discretion, move towards nuclear weapons. What does this mean? It means they could decide to increase uranium enrichment from 60% to 90%. This would only require about 250 to 300 centrifuges, operating for approximately three weeks, and they could reach enrichment levels suitable for weapons, shocking the world with the potential for a nuclear explosion.

Reporter: How much patience does [the US] have left for Iran?

Trump: I have plenty of time. Their entire coastline has been destroyed.

The Strait [presumably referring to the Strait of Hormuz] is in very good shape. And we are currently in talks.

You know, they wanted to talk. Their people said, "Please don't bomb us, don't shoot at us."

NB:

A sponsor of terror can be direct or indirect. Giving support to a regime that supports terrorists like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood can also be classified as a sponsor of terror indirectly.

Iran in part is sanctioned because of this same reason.
