    Yeah, Kevin, good afternoon. I just spoke with President Trump. He tells Fox News he believes a deal with Iran will be signed in the next two to three hours. I asked him about the Israeli strikes earlier today against Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. He tells me he spoke on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asking him, what the F are you doing? He told the Prime Minister not to conduct additional strikes against Hezbollah so that it doesn't affect this deal from moving forward. Now the Israelis are bracing for the possibility of incoming Iranian ballistic missile fire, according to the IDF. And President Trump tells Fox News he will ask Iran not to respond with missile fire toward Israel with this deal on the horizon expected to be signed tonight. All of this taking place amid the backdrop of these latest conversations to get this final agreement across the finish line. The president talked about THEIR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR PEOPLE ABOUT THE STRIKES IN THE MIDDLE OF LAST WEEK WHEN HE WAS HAMMERING MANY OF THOSE IRANIAN POSITIONS PUSHING THEIR ANIANS And he was hammering many of those Iranian positions pushing the Iranians back to the negotiating table You might remember Kevin I was on the phone with the president as he was in the situation room and the Iranians called him and asked him to stop the bombing The president believes that moment was able to shift the equation and, again, get the Iranians to make these concessions. President Trump says if they sign the deal tonight, he will immediately order the blockade on Iranian ports to be lifted and then move forward into these more detailed discussions as it relates to Iran's nuclear program. But again, the latest headlines that we know here, President Trump telling Fox News he believes a deal with Iran will be signed in the next two to three hours. This will take place electronically, the president says. And then a week from now, there is expected to be an in-person signing that could take place somewhere in Europe. Again, the president responding after those Israeli strikes today against the Lebanese capital of Beirut. The Israelis were striking a Hezbollah position in response to drone fire over the border this weekend into northern Israel. Again, the president telling Fox News, he asked the Israeli prime minister, what the F are you doing?
