Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his expectation of a "complete victory" over Iran within the next two weeks, claiming the nation is prepared to make significant concessions in ongoing negotiations. He previously warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that continued strikes on Iran could lead to isolation, adding that Netanyahu would "have no choice" but to accept any U.S.-Iran agreement. Following Trump's public appeals for an immediate ceasefire, Iran and Israel have reportedly ceased attacks, though disagreements persist concerning Lebanon. Separately, Trump abruptly concluded an interview with NBC News journalist Kristen Welker, reportedly calling her "either a liar or a fool" after she requested evidence for his claims of election irregularities.
