- President Donald Trump says Iran has been “calling” asking for a deal to end the war after Iran denied those claims yesterday.
- Speaking at the White House as he hosted Lionel Messi and the Inter Miami soccer team, Trump told the crowd, “Their anti aircraft weapons are gone. So they have no air force, they have no air defense. All of their airplanes are gone.
- “Their communications are gone. Missiles are gone. Launchers are gone, about 60% and 64% respectively,” he continued. “They're tough, and they want to fight.
- “And they're calling, they're saying, how do we make a deal?” Trump added. “I said, you're a little bit late, and we want to fight now more than they do.”
- Earlier in the day, Trump said he should be involved in choosing Iran’s next supreme leader as the U.S. and Israel hammered the country for a sixth day. Iran has responded with retaliatory attacks on Israel, American bases and countries around the region.
