In a meeting at Mar-a-Lago on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump vowed to "knock the hell" out of Iran if they build up their military capacity again. His comments come hours after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran is at "total war" with the US and Israel.
The meeting between the two leaders occurred at the American president's famous Florida property. It followed separate talks between Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as other Trump advisers, and was initially framed by U.S. and Israeli leaders as an opportunity to strengthen the fragile peace process in Gaza, address the next steps for the ceasefire, and align on shared security priorities.
