“Trump DOESN’T Negotiate With Terrorists” - Iran Nuclear Deadline IGNITES Strike Speculation

24 Feb 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the current tensions between the U.S. and Iran?

0.031 - 24.607 Patrick Bet-David

So it'll be interesting what happens there. But as we continue and we move on, Iran's situation is escalating very, very quickly. Everybody's asking, is it going to happen today? Is it going to happen tomorrow? Is it going to happen this? By the way, would it be true? Would it be unlike Trump to do it while he's giving a State of the Union tomorrow night, Tuesday night?

24.627 - 37.448 Patrick Bet-David

Can you imagine he's giving a speech and all of a sudden, boom, the attack takes place? And at the end he says, by the way, check your phones. Iran has officially been this. We have Khamenei. We have this. We have that. They may or may not.

Chapter 2: How might a potential strike on Iran unfold?

37.488 - 59.771 Patrick Bet-David

It's a little bit too risky. But when you're looking at what happened, did you see the B-52? Which bomber was it that was flying in, Rob? There was a bomber that was flying in. I mean, they're literally sending everything over there. I know the picture you're talking about. That's our B-2s. The B-2 bomber that went over there? Yeah. Zoom in a little bit, Rob. Yeah, the B-2 bombers.

59.991 - 70.807 Patrick Bet-David

Where did it go to, though? It went to somewhere in the Middle East that it was seen. So at any point, anything could happen there. Let me go to the store here, and we'll kind of read through it.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Ayatollah's potential fall?

73.411 - 100.285 Patrick Bet-David

Which one should we go to, Rob? What page do we have the Iran news? That would be page 18 and 19. Page 18 and 19. Okay, so Iran regime scores off against student protests in the streets of Tehran, death to Khamenei. So they're now saying death to Khamenei in Iran, which is the complete opposite of death to America. The students are now wanting death to Khamenei.

100.305 - 101.807 Patrick Bet-David

Go ahead, Rob, if you want to play this clip.

0

107.014 - 108.135

Death to Khamenei! Death to Khamenei! Death to Khamenei!

0

111.727 - 127.947 Patrick Bet-David

This is Wall Street Journal reading this story with Iranian students' protest as anger grows. FYI, this is kind of exactly what happened with Khomeini back in the days when Mohammad Azar Shah Pahlavi, they were doing the same exact type of protest. And, Rob, is this the one from Wall Street Journal?

0

128.768 - 129.77 Adam Sosnick

It's just one of them, yes.

Chapter 4: Is there a U.S. succession plan for Iran?

129.79 - 142.388 Patrick Bet-David

Okay, got it. So this leads to the Telegraph story. Trump could kill... Ayatollah's son and senior mullahs to topple Iranian regime. Tom, what do you think is going to happen here?

0

142.929 - 165.399 Tom Fitton

So I think this is going to be surgical, and I think they've got it planned. They've got the buildup there. And I think Witkoff said something over the weekend. He said... You know, they're not cooperating anymore in discussions. And Witkoff also said, I really fear that they do have the enrichment capabilities. And Witkoff has never said that. I went back and looked at Witkoff.

0

165.419 - 169.844 Tom Fitton

Witkoff doesn't put these little things out there like that. This is not his style.

0

Chapter 5: What role do Iranian protests play in the current situation?

169.904 - 195.289 Tom Fitton

This is not the way he did it. So for him to be saying, I believe that they have the ability to enrich the uranium. We've been trying to talk to them. They're not. They're no longer talking forthrightly. So when I see that, you know, we're giving them the opportunity. Witkoff's there. Rubio is behind the scenes. We're trying to get them to do the right thing. But we want the transition.

0

195.349 - 213.876 Tom Fitton

We don't want to have Crazy 2 as the sequel to Crazy 1. So I think what's about to happen here, you can't allow the enrichment, but you've got to have a plan for succession. That's the issue, Pat. Those two things is what they're juggling. You've got to have a plan.

0

Chapter 6: How does the U.S. military presence affect Iran's actions?

213.916 - 230.941 Tom Fitton

You've got to get rid of the enrichment. You've got to go out to the facilities. But then you've got to have a plan for succession. And I think they're doing everything they can to do both at once, and they're going to be pushed to the wall where I think they have to just go in and take care of the enrichment and just say, hey, don't F around.

231.001 - 247.067 Tom Fitton

Because you look at those people, yeah, Romania is not polling well with the citizens there. And unfortunately, we just have polls and elections here. They'll have polls and coups. So I think it's coming, and I think it's hours away, not days away. I think it's hours.

0

247.283 - 269.667 Patrick Bet-David

Yeah, yesterday Mario Nafal reported something from a different ex that was saying Iran is now coming up saying we're willing to negotiate anything and everything. You know, what is it you want? If you want to extend the nuclear development, if you want us to do this, we're open to it. Just remove us from the sanctions. Now they're coming out saying, no, no, let's negotiate.

0

269.687 - 274.472 Patrick Bet-David

Because apparently the last time when Witkoff and Kushner went there to negotiate,

0

Chapter 7: What negotiations are currently happening with Iran?

274.452 - 296.932 Patrick Bet-David

I don't know if you heard what happened at the end. At the end, they're like, no, we're good. They walked out. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is it. Out. No more negotiation. They came. They made their offer. There was discussion. They said there's nothing else to discuss. They left, which means an attack is what a lot of people think is imminent. Rob, is this a recent clip?

0

296.952 - 300.015 Patrick Bet-David

Yes, this was Friday from the president. What does he say in this clip here?

0

Chapter 8: What could happen if the U.S. attacks Iran?

300.256 - 303.298 Tom Fitton

It tells the Iranian people it's time to negotiate a fair deal.

0

303.398 - 323.808 Patrick Bet-David

They're not going to be doing that. It's what he said on Air Force One. I don't even think they want to. I don't think we, they, Trump's team wants to negotiate. I think they're done. I think they're past it. I think the whole, you know what it changes if they do negotiate with them? What quote is officially out the window? If they negotiate with them, what quote is out the window?

0

324.068 - 328.721 Patrick Bet-David

A quote that's been used for decades. Go ahead. It's out the window.

0

328.741 - 329.382 Unknown

Yeah, you're right.

0

329.643 - 341.219 Patrick Bet-David

If you negotiate, guess what's going to happen in 2028? I'm sorry. Weren't you guys the party that said you never negotiated with a terrorist party? Yep. And you did. You negotiated with them. So now what? What are you going to be doing now?

341.8 - 353.717 Patrick Bet-David

So there is a report yesterday that came up, you know, that they're willing to come up and do something with them, but apparently nothing's been happening yet. Adam, your thoughts?

354.727 - 378.58 Adam Sosnick

Yeah, I don't see this ending well for anybody. Tens of thousands of people have already died, and I expect if something happens, it could get way worse. By the way, how brave are these protesters in Iran? After knowing that their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, family, parents, kids, all tens of thousands were murdered by the regime, and then they went out and protested again?

378.64 - 379.502 Adam Sosnick

Is that what's going on here?

379.522 - 380.183 Patrick Bet-David

Yes, yes.
