[00:00:00]When you speak a little bit about your post, what was the decision?

[00:00:03]Can you speak a little bit about your post on Truth Social on Iran and what was the decision that why you didn't attack Iran?

[00:00:11]>> Well, other countries have come to me and they've said we were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow. I've put it off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever, but possibly for a little while.

[00:00:22]Cuz we've had very big discussions with Iran.

[00:00:25]And we'll see what they amount to. I was asked by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and some others if we could put it off for two or three days, a short period of time, because they think that they are getting very close to making a deal. And if we can do that where there's no nuclear weapon going into the hands of Iran, [snorts] I think and if they're satisfied uh we will be probably satisfied also.

[00:00:50]Uh we've informed Israel, we've informed other people in the Middle East that have been involved with us and uh you know, it's a very positive development, but we'll see whether or not it amounts to anything. We've had periods of time where we had we thought pretty much getting close to making a deal and uh didn't work out, but this is a little bit different. Now we're ready going tomorrow very big.

[00:01:12]And uh not something I wanted to do, but we have no choice because we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, yeah. Mr. President
