And what type of meetings is your administration looking for? So Iran wants to meet. As you know, there are sites were obliterated. They're very evil nuclear sites. They were now has been proven. We had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from Russia. The same people that did 3 or 4 other. Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. No, no, wait, wait. Just listen. They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these great American. I mean, they what talent that was. And they hit it right down in the spot. 52,000ft. Think of this dark, no moon. You couldn't see a thing. And they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That's the size of a target. And overwhelmingly. And it's amazing what was done. We're the only ones that could have done it. And we took out the other two of the other sites also. In addition to that, we finished them off. That was a very evil intention. I believe that, and again, time will tell. But I don't believe that they're going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over $1 trillion on nuclear, and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site. By the way, to do that is very dangerous. It's very, very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top, at the hatch, as you know, the hatch going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it, and they had some masons there pouring concrete. By the way, that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was I don't think it had a chance to dry, but everything's down there. It's under millions of tons of rock. As you go into negotiations and talks with Iran, are you demanding not only that, there would be no uranium production inside of Iran, but also that Iran would turn over all existing stockpiles of uranium? Well, you know, we're a little early for that, but something like that. Yeah, we'll do something like that. Let me say that I've been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. And that's what happened. It's been obliterated. It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it's probably the last thing they have to recover from. A hell of a tough war. Would you also be demanding that the IAEA have full rights to inspect in Iran or somebody? Yeah. Or somebody that we respect, including ourselves. Sir, are you concerned at all about secret nuclear sites in Iran? You talk about maybe just. Secret nuclear. Sites? Yes, there might be some. What can I tell you? They're exhausted. And Israel's exhausted, too. And I dealt with both of them, and they both wanted it settled. Both of them. And we did a great job. But they're exhausted. The last thing they're thinking about right now is nuclear. You know what they're thinking of. They're thinking about tomorrow, trying to live in such a mess. It's such a mess. The place was bombed to hell. And, no, I'm not worried about it at all. And I'm putting out a little statement. I'm going to respond to the Ayatollah's statement yesterday that we won the war. Won the war. And I said, look, you're a man of great faith, a man who is highly respected in his country. You have to tell the truth. You got beat to hell. And Israel was beat up, too. They were both beat up. And it was a great time to end it. It was quick. They got the hate out. A lot of hate. A lot of hate. It would be great if they didn't have that hate. But the last thing they're thinking about is nuclear weapons right now. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump Expects Iran to Open Itself to Inspection to Verify It Doesn't Restart Its Nuclear Program","description":"U.S. President Donald Trump said he expects Iran to open itself to international inspection to verify it doesn't restart its nuclear program.
