President Trump proposed ending the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran within days or extending the campaign, citing failed nuclear negotiations and Iran's long-term hostile actions.
- A joint U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran prompted Trump to say he has several 'off ramps' and could end the operation in two or three days, Axios reported.
- While writing his speech Friday, Trump cited failed talks led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and said, `I saw that every month they did something bad, blew something up or killed someone,' Axios reported.

- Trump predicted Iran will need several years to recover, and his remarks offer a first window into his exit thinking, suggesting openness to diplomacy despite collapsed Geneva diplomatic talks.
