Trump's conversation with reporters on the plane

Machine recognition and translation:
🔺 Reporter: What made you cancel last night's attacks?
🔻 Trump:
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Iran asked me to do this.
We were almost completely ready to carry out the operation at that time, and it was supposed to be a massive attack. Everything was ready for execution. But when allies want you to cancel the attack, you have to say, "Well, let's see what happens."

The reason for their request is that they think there is an agreement. There is an agreement about [unclear term], and then there will be an agreement on the nuclear issue; or you can call it "nuclear disarmament of Iran." I call it nuclear disarmament of Iran.

For now, we have kept it on hold. We just have to see what happens. We can do it whenever we want.

But three main parties asked us. Iran also strongly requested it from us. They said, "We want to agree."

Now, I don't know what they are saying outside, because many times they tell me this and then go out and say, "We don't know what he is talking about."

It is obvious that they do not want to be attacked. They were aware of the extent of the attack because [the final phrase is unclear].

🔺 Reporter: What happens now?
🔻 Trump:
What we are doing now is negotiating with them. Negotiations will begin tomorrow afternoon, and we will see if it is real or not.

I would really like this to happen. Many lives will be saved, and [the continuation of the sentence is unclear].

It would take many years for them to rebuild it; of course, if it was even possible to rebuild it. I don't think it would even be rebuildable.

We had prepared an attack that, if carried out, would have been the largest attack since World War II.
It would have been catastrophic for them, and they did not want us to do it.

To be honest, Saudi Arabia did not want it either. They thought an agreement was imminent.

🔺 Reporter: Is there a deadline, sir?
🔻 Trump:
There is an imminent agreement related to [unclear term] and ultimately to the nuclear disarmament of Iran.
When I hear this, I say, "Do we want to act this severely?"
There are a group of people who want me to do this immediately, and another group of people who do not want me to do this.

**
🔺 Reporter:** Mr. President, does Iran have a deadline to reach an agreement?
🔻 Trump:
We will see. Let's see how things progress. We are ready to act whenever we want.
Would I prefer to agree? I am not looking to kill people because people get killed; a lot of people get killed, and we do not want that.

So they asked us; specifically Iran. But the other three parties also said that they really...
I asked them. [Unclear reference to the king and then the crown prince.] I said, "What would you prefer we do? Would you prefer we do this or not?"

They said, "We prefer the agreement much more than the attack because you do not know where this [unclear term; likely referring to attacks or actions] will lead."

Will their country face a flood of people and disaster? Many bad things could happen.

🔺 Reporter:
Sir, a report has been released stating that you are withdrawing American forces from Bahrain and Kuwait. Are the forces leaving the Middle East?
[No response from Trump to this question is recorded in the transcript.]

....
🔺 Reporter: Let's go back to Iran; were you ready to target energy facilities for an attack?
🔻 Trump:
I don't want to say that. I can't say that.
It was supposed to be a massive attack. It was supposed to be the largest attack by far since World War II.
But they asked us not to do it. They said, "Please don't do this."
Their neighbors said the same.
So we just want to see if we can reach an agreement on nuclear disarmament or not.

🔺 Reporter: [Incomplete question about whether negotiations will take place tomorrow.]
🔻Trump:
Yes.
