Merz emphasized need to end Ukraine war; and looking forward to discussing.

Did Israel force his hand?

A: No. He said Iran would’ve attacked first and felt “very strongly” about that. He said he forever Israel’s hand.

POTUS said U.S. is dealing with “level of evil.” Said U.S. is hitting areas that are much more “appreciate.”

“They’re going to be in for a lot of hurt…these are bad people.”

Confirmed there was another hit on new Iranian leadership.

“Everything is big. Venezuela is big. This is big.”

Worse case scenario?

A: somebody just as bad takes over Iranian government. “We would like to see somebody who will bring it back to the people.”
