What's your message to the Iraqi leadership?

Well, I get along very well with the Iraqi leadership, thank you.

Governor Putin are posted on social media that they're planning to seal the 2026 midterm elections.

In fact, he says the plan is already underway.

How does his promise, Governor, fix this?

Well, he's got to focus on crime in his state, the crime in his doing, very badly.

If we, if we went and took care of it, what we do, just like Washington, D.C.

What, what he should really do is focus on crime in his state because there's too much of it.

Do you believe that Iran will be necessary if negotiation break down this Iran?

We're not exactly happy with the way they negotiated.

They can, they cannot have nuclear weapons and we're not thrilled with the way they're negotiating.

They cannot have nuclear weapons and we're not thrilled with the way they're negotiating.

They're in a big deal of trouble, as you know.

They have no money, they have no anything right now, but

they're talking with us and maybe we'll have a friendly takeover a few months.

We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba.

We've had a lot of years of dealing with Cuba.

I've been hearing about Cuba since I'm a little boy.

But they're in big trouble and we could very well, something could, I think, very positive for the people that were expelled or worse from Cuba that live here.

You know, we have people living here that want to go back to Cuba and they're very happy with what's going on.

I've been fully exonerated with the options that you've been briefed on for Iran.

Is there a risk that strikes could turn into a long, drawn out conflict in the Middle East?

I guess you could say there's always a risk.

You know, when there's war, there's a risk in anything, both good and bad.

With myself, Soleimani Al Baghdadi, everything's worked out and then we do the Midnight Hammer and so many others.

Everything's worked out, and we want to keep it that way.

Look, it'd be wonderful if they negotiate, really, in good conscience, good faith and conscience.

But they, they are not getting there so far, Peter, they're not getting there.

And has told you that if you use the military now that there will be regime change right away.

It'd be nice if we could do it without, but sometimes you have to do it with.

When you looked at what look, we have the greatest military anywhere in the world.

Well, people saying very badly they're failing people right now is, to put it mildly, a failing nation.

I said before, since I'm a little boy, I've been hearing about Cuba, and

everybody wanted to change, and I can see that happening.

Marco Rubio is dealing on it and at a very high level.

And, you know, they have no money, they have no oil, they have no food.

And it's really right now a nation in deep trouble, and they want our help.

That is Donald Trump there speaking to the press, really taking a lot of questions about Cuba, saying that perhaps there will be a friendly takeover of the country and talking here about the country being a failed state, talking about that, the matters being dealt with.

And Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, is dealing with it, saying they've got no oil and that they're a failing nation.

But also he mentioned Iran as well, saying that essentially they're not happy or he's not happy with the way things went with the talks that we've just had.

Osama bin Javed is standing by in Geneva to the Saudis in the Iranian capital, Tehran, and

But first, let's get to our White House correspondent, Kimberly Halkett, who's in Washington.

Kimberly, I mean, he says he's not happy with these talks now.

They've ultimately, before this, had very little in terms of messaging after these talks wrapped up.

Well, what we know is that if you look at the language of the Trump administration in recent weeks, it appears that the goalpost continues to move in terms of what Iran needs to do to meet US Expectations.

The US President has been very clear that there is a desire on the part of the United States for no nuclear weapon, that means a halt zero uranium enrichment.

But at the same time, what we know is the US has also been adding to those demands, saying that there needs to also be a limit on the ballistic missile program and support for regional proxies.

And this is again, something that has been difficult to achieve for Iran because every time there is a round of negotiation, it's it seems that the demands by the United States become that much greater.

And so what you heard from the US President just now is that he says he's not happy with how the negotiations went in Geneva on Thursday.

Whether or not he's intimating that they made the United States made further demands, we don't know.

But what he did say is there's more talking that will be taking place on Friday.

And what we can discern from that is that he's referring to the Omani foreign minister that will be here in Washington meeting with J.D.

vice president, where that will be not negotiation, but

diplomatic consultation, perhaps even to see if the United States can yield concessions and what Tehran's stance is.

Now, Kimberly, as you just mentioned, I mean, JD Vance is set to meet the Omani foreign minister.

What kind of impact will that have on the discussions?

Well, it's very clear that the United States is seeking to really take a dual track here.

On the one hand, you heard the US President just now talking about whether or not he would use the US Military and use a strike.

And he said, we don't want to, but sometimes you have to.

But he also said he has not made a final decision.

And after covering Donald Trump on and off for the better part of a decade, I can tell you that he is a person that takes a variety of opinions before making a decision.

And given the fact that he knows that JD Vance is very adept at foreign policy, it's clear he wants to get that perspective.

He also is getting the perspective of Marco Rubio, his secretary of state, who we know will be traveling to Israel on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

So the US President telling us in real time there no decision made yet on whether or not he will take military action against Iran, instead taking the time to get the opinions of some of his trusted advisers before making that decision.

Let's get it over and kick it out to Tehran, where we have to hit the Saudi.
