Here is the full transcript of the clip:
"Well, they're very close to an agreement on Gaza and we'll let you know about it during the day or maybe tomorrow and we have a chance of that. I think we have a chance of making a deal with Iran also. They don't want to be blown up.
"They would rather make a deal. And I think that could happen in the not too distant future. That would be a great thing if we could have a deal without bombs being dropped all over the Middle East.
"That would be a very good thing. They can't have any nuclear weapons. We want them to be safe.
"We want them to have a very, very successful nation. Let it be a great nation, but we can't have that. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.
"It's very simple. And I think we're fairly close to a deal with Iran."
