Iran always lies, always cheatsYou have to have a way to remove nuclear materialWe want to make sure Iran doesn't pose a threat to Israel and America, that's our common goalSome times we have tactical disagreementsWe always find a way to work out our differencesWe have to disarm Hezbollah and demilitarize LebanonA free and independent Lebanon needs to emergeMany of those chieftains targeting Israel are in BeirutWe've weakened the Iran regime, it's not overIran is 'playing with fire' on escalationTrump understands what's at stakeI will leave it to Trump if military escalation neededI don't think Iran wants an outThe comment about demilitarizing Lebanon is concerning because it's a maximalist goal that essentially means conquering the whole country.
