## What the media says

**Video transcript** (reposted clip, 1:36), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> - It's up to 72 hours if they don't come to the table. What do you think should happen? - Well, look, if there are two factions in Iran, one that wants a deal and one that doesn't want a deal, let's kill the ones that don't want a deal. And it's that simple. We've killed over 50 Iranian leaders so far. Let's go back, let's end the ceasefire and finish the job. Admiral Cooper has taken out about 70 to 80% of the targets he was assigned. There's another 20 to 30% to be done. Let's finish that. Let's take out the leaders who don't want a deal. And then we threaten to destroy Kargh Island if they don't give us the nuclear dust and bring them back to the table then. I mean, it's clear that they're-- - You say Admiral Cooper has a plan to open up the strait quickly. - Absolutely. Look, Iran needs a deal. Trump does not. Trump can end this war without a deal. You go back, you finish the target list that he gave Admiral Cooper. You open up the Strait of Hormuz. Admiral Cooper has a plan to do that. He's got electronic warfare, counter-drone technology, and once you take out the remaining 20 to 30% of their ballistic missile capacity, the threat dissipates. And then we've already blockaded Kargh Island. We can tell them, look, if you don't give us the nuclear dust, we'll destroy Kargh Island and we'll destroy your economy. And you'll have them in a complete vice. So Trump is being very generous, giving them this extra time. It shouldn't last very long. He doesn't need the deal they do and come to the table. And if they won't, eliminate the leaders who are the obstacle to a deal.
