Trump Says US 'Very Willing' to Make a Deal With Iran

Summary

• Trump indicates ongoing negotiations with a high-level Iranian figure, not the Supreme Leader, following prior eliminations of Iranian leadership.
• He explicitly states a reluctance to kill the current leader, preferring diplomatic resolution: "I don't want him to be killed."
• Talks aim for a ceasefire agreement with Iran, which Trump believes would ensure long-term peace for Israel, stating "This will be peace for Israel, long term peace, guaranteed peace."
• Iran initiated the call for a deal, and the US is "very willing," but demands include "no more wars, no more nuclear weapons."
• Trump cites a specific leverage point: imminent plans to destroy Iran's largest electric generating plant, costing over $10 billion to build.
• He claims alignment with Israel, having "just spoke to Israel," and predicts their satisfaction with a potential deal.
• Uncertainty is acknowledged as Trump notes "I can't guarantee it," though he is optimistic based on his deal-making experience.
