NETANYAHU BEGS TRUMP FOR FACE TO FACE MEETING, IRAN ESCALATION EXPECTED - w/ Chris Martenson
What was said
"They are all there, one shot, and we can take them all out, but we are not going to do that because we would have nobody to negotiate with."
President Trump told Axios he openly considered bombing heads of state attending Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral procession, which drew an estimated 9 million mourners and world leaders. The statement, made on July 4th weekend, reveals a willingness to target diplomatic gatherings and was echoed by commentators like Mark Levin who called the funeral a missed opportunity. Trump's rhetoric comes as the U.S. lacks good military options against Iran and needs to negotiate.
