“I’ll Talk to Them As Long As I Like”: Trump Defies Netanyahu, Warns Iran of ‘Very Tough’ Phase Two

The video details comments made by former President Donald Trump regarding negotiations with Iran and his stance on Israeli leadership. Trump stated he would continue dialogue with Iran for as long as he deemed necessary, while also issuing a warning that if diplomacy proves unsuccessful, a subsequent “phase two” action against Iran would be “very tough for them.” This signals a potential hardening of policy regarding Tehran.

Furthermore, Trump addressed matters concerning Israel, expressing support for Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he described as a "very good wartime Prime Minister" following the October 7 attacks. Conversely, Trump criticized Israeli President Isaac Herzog, labeling his refusal to grant a pardon in an unrelated legal matter as "disgraceful." Trump maintained his position as a strong ally of Israel while keeping options open for a diplomatic resolution with Iran.
