YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump repeatedly insisted Iran wants to make a deal to end the war as he convened a Cabinet meeting at the White House to strategize next steps on Iran after hostilities flared up again.

“I think we’re doing very well, I think they’re starting to give us the things that they have to give us, and if they won’t then the man on my left is gonna finish them off,” Trump said, pointing to Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth who was seated next to him.

The president ruled out handing control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and Oman as part of a potential concession to Tehran as his administration tries to strike a deal that ends the war. He also threatened to "blow up" the Gulf state of Oman if its leaders attempt to control the strait.
