Coming up shortly here on C-SPAN, the United Nations Security Council holds a meeting about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. | |
| We'll bring you live coverage here on C-SPAN when it begins. | ||
| Until then, we'll take a look at the situation in the Middle East as it currently stands from this morning's Washington Journal. | ||
| Good morning, everyone. | ||
| Welcome to the Conversation. | ||
| Your reaction to President Trump now saying Iran has two weeks before he will decide to go, as you just heard from the White House press secretary. | ||
| Washington Post front page headline, this morning, Trump dials back war talk, sees more time for diplomacy. | ||
| Take a look at what the president has said over the past week on Iran, and it ends with the White House statement yesterday. | ||

What have you heard? | |
| What have you heard from the Iranians? | ||
| They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before. | ||
| I had 60 days, and they had 60 days, and on the 61st day, I said, we don't have a deal. | ||
| They have to make a deal. | ||
| And it's painful for both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning this war. | ||

And they should talk, and they should talk immediately before it's too late. | |
| Remember, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| Not to go too deep into it. | ||
| They just can't have a nuclear weapon weapon. | ||

What was you thinking on the call for Tehran to evacuate? | |
| Is there a threat or is there an incoming? | ||
| What was the thinking about the whole evacuation? | ||
| I want people to be safe. | ||

What specifically is better than a ceasefire? | |
| What are you looking for here? | ||
| And to have a hostile country have a nuclear weapon that could destroy 25 miles, but much more than that, could destroy other nations just by the breeze blowing the dust. | ||
| You know, that dust blows to other nations, then they get to estimate it. | ||
| This is just not a threat you can have. | ||
| And we've been threatened by Iran for many years. | ||
| You know, if you go back and look at my history, if you go back 15 years, they're saying we cannot let Iran get a nuclear weapon. | ||
| I've been saying it for a long time. | ||
| I mean it more now than I ever meant it. | ||
| I have ideas as to what to do, but I haven't made a final. | ||
| I like to make the final decision one second before it's due, you know, because things change. |
