We’ve already made great progress over just the last few hours, and I expect that we’ll make additional progress in the hours to come.”!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v79fgxi","div":"rumble_v79fgxi"});Meanwhile, President Trump is applying pressure to Iran, threatening to resume the war if Iran does not stop funding Hezbollah. “Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!” Trump wrote on Sunday. Trump is also threatening to “take over” Iran and kill the Iranian leadership again if negotiations don’t pan out. He further doubled down on comments yesterday, where he floated taking over the Strait of Hormuz and charging tolls.“President Trump telling Fox News that the US may take over the Strait in the future if they have to and collect tolls. The President described this as the United States being the guardian angel of the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East, and the President said ultimately that would involve the US taking 20% of the oil that passes through the Strait,” Fox’s Trey Yingst reports.Yingst continued, “President Trump tells Fox News he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and said, ‘You close it and you won’t have a country.’ He went on to tell these officials, ‘You won’t even make it back to your effing country.'”Trump also responded to Iranian President Massoud Bezeshkin’s comments earlier today, accusing Trump of flip-flopping and declaring that Iran “will not give up our right to [nuclear] enrichment, and they too will be forced to accept it.”“President Trump told Fox News, ‘He’d better watch his mouth, he better shape up, or we’ll take over the rest of the country,’” Yingst reported.“President Trump talked about the broader memorandum of understanding, indicating this is just a ceasefire extension; this is not the final deal with the Iranian regime, and the President says he holds the cards and maintains a variety of options if the Iranians don’t make these serious commitments at the negotiating table. He said, ‘I have a 60 day option, and I can do whatever I want after that option.’”WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v79fery","div":"rumble_v79fery"});Trump also said, according to Yingst, he’ll “blow the sh*t out of them.”Trump further told Yingst that he is disappointed in Israel’s actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon, doubling down on his recent statements that they should “let Syria take care of Hezbollah” because “they’d do a better job of doing it.”“The President told me he is disappointed Israel can’t put Hezbollah away. He went on to say they can’t do anything without knocking buildings down, and that he is close to giving it to Syria, and he is talking about empowering Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to actually go into southern Lebanon and fight Hezbollah because the President believes that he would do a more precise job in terms of the way he would deal with Hezbollah, not knocking down buildings but fighting them on the ground,” Yingst says.!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v79feya","div":"rumble_v79feya"});This comes after Hezbollah launched strikes, killing at least four Israeli soldiers in Lebanon on Friday, and Israel responded by striking “150 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon,” killing dozens. The Lebanese Health Ministry says 47 people were killed, including seven women and two children, and 97 were wounded in these strikes, per CBS.Trump commented on previous Israeli attacks in Lebanon on Wednesday at the G7 Summit in Evian, France, telling reporters he wants to empower the Syrian President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former Al-Qaeda-tied Jihadist, to combat Hezbollah.“Israel’s fighting Hezbollah too long, and too many people are being killed, and you don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they’re not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you,” Trump said. “If Israel can’t do the job without killing everyone else… Syria will do the job.”WATCH: Trump Publicly Rebukes Israel for Almost Torpedoing Iran Deal with “Vicious” Strikes in Beirut – “Without Me, There Would Be No Israel… Bibi Has to Be More Responsible”/*!
