What was said

"On February 11th, Netanyahu, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, came to the White House, made a pitch to Trump for the United States and Israel to jointly attack Iran. He said the war would be over in 4 days, we can kill the leadership cuz you know where they are. There'll be a revolution. They'll probably rename the capital to Trumpopolis. And you will go down as the bravest and most capable American president in history, and you'll do something that all the cowards before you refused to do."

Geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan reveals that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally pitched President Trump on a joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran during a February 11th White House meeting, promising the war would end in four days and that Iran might rename its capital Trumpopolis in Trump's honor. Zeihan claims Secretary of State Rubio and Joint Chiefs warned Trump this was a terrible idea that Netanyahu has tried to sell to multiple presidents for 30 years, but carriers deployed that same day. The war has now dragged on for months with no diplomatic resolution.
