"The only thing that really matters to me is Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and it says it loud and clear," he told reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Evian, France. Trump also said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be "more responsible" in dealing with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Lebanon was pulled into the war in March when Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel after the killing of Iran's supreme leader, prompting Israeli strikes and a ground invasion. "I'm not happy with the way Israel has handled itself with Lebanon and with Hezbollah," he said. He added that he suggested Israel allow "Syria to take care of Hezbollah." Iran’s nuclear program and the broader regional implications of the conflict involving Iran remain key issues in efforts to reach a final peace agreement.
Trump also said that "Iran has rational leadership now."
