00:00Go ahead, please.

00:02Thank you, Mr. President.

00:03You've made clear your position on what impact the strikes had.

00:06I wanted to ask you, what is next with Iran?

00:09For instance, is there any indication from U.S. intelligence

00:12that Iran was able to move any material?

00:15No, just the opposite.

00:17We think we hit them so hard and so fast, they didn't get to move.

00:20And if you knew about that material, it's very hard and very dangerous to move.

00:25It's called, in many people, they call it dust.

00:28But it's very, very heavy.

00:30It's very, very hard to move.

00:32And they were way down.

00:34You know, they're 30 stories down.

00:36They're literally 30, 35 stories down underground.

00:39Oh, yeah, we think we got it.

00:41We think it's covered with granite, concrete, and steel.

00:47Can I ask you, are you interested in restarting negotiations with Iran?

00:51And if so, have they resisted?

00:52So are people, Marco could answer this,

00:55but our people are not, I'm not.

00:59The way I look at it, they fought, the war's done.

01:03And, you know, I could get a statement that they're not going to go nuclear.

01:06We're probably going to ask for that.

01:08But they're not going to be doing it.

01:10But they're not going to be doing it anyway.

01:12They've had it.

01:13They've had it.

01:14Now, maybe someday in the future we'll want that.

01:17But I've asked Marco, do you want to draw, I just asked him the question as we were walking on the stage,

01:23do you want to draw up a little agreement for them to sign?

01:25Because I think we can get them to sign it.

01:28I don't think it's necessary.

01:29Marco, do you want to talk about that, please?

01:32Well, Mr. President, I think you, President Trump has shown a willingness to meet and talk to anybody in the world who's interested in peace.

01:39I don't know of any president that's been as willing as he has to meet with anyone and talk about peace.

01:43We'd love to have peaceful relations with any country in the world.

01:46And so, obviously, that will depend on Iran's willingness not just to engage in peace,

01:51but to negotiate directly with the United States, not through some third country or fourth country process.

01:56But I know of no president probably in our modern history that's sought peace more than President Trump has.

02:04Sounds like the door is open, but you're in no rush.

02:06Is that right?

02:07Sounds like the door is open.

02:08I'll tell you what, look, we're going to talk to them next week with Iran.

02:14We may sign an agreement.

02:16I don't know.

02:16To me, I don't think it's that necessary.

02:18I mean, they had a war.

02:19They fought.

02:20Now they're going back to their world.

02:21I don't care if I have an agreement or not.

02:24The only thing we'd be asking for is what we were asking for before about we want no nuclear.

02:29But we destroyed the nuclear.

02:32In other words, it's destroyed.

02:33I said, Iran will not have nuclear.

02:36Well, we blew it up.

02:37It's blown up.

02:39To kingdom come.

02:41And so I don't feel very strongly about it.

02:43If we got a document, it wouldn't be bad.

02:45We're going to meet with them, actually.

02:47We're going to meet with them.

02:48Yeah.

02:48We're going to meet with them.

02:49We're going to meet with them.

02:50We're going to meet with them.

02:51We're going to meet with them.

02:52We're going to meet with them.

02:53We're going to meet with them.

02:54We're going to meet with them.

02:55We're going to meet with them.

02:56We're going to meet with them.

02:57We're going to meet with them.

02:58We're going to meet with them.

02:59We're going to meet with them.

03:00We're going to meet with them.
