Asha Jadeja Motwani, an Indian-origin venture capitalist, said she spent two hours with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on the night the president chose to halt all negotiations with Iran and start a war.
“We are humbled to have spent two hours with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last night,” Motwane said. “On a night that will change the history of our planet forever… the president chose to halt all negotiations with Iran and start war — with brave Israelis leading the entire process.” At the dinner table, the main discussion was the midterm elections and the war with Iran. “In the three days I spent at Mar-a-Lago, I saw Steve Witkoff, Rubio, Hegseth, Jared Kushner, Susie, and the entire team back and forth between the War Room and the President’s residential area.
As always, Trump is working around the clock. “7 days a week,” Motwane wrote.
Motwane added: “Apart from the usual happiness of meeting our very positive president, the highlight for me was hearing some high-level updates from the Middle East from Steve Witkoff (I am buying a small house near his home in Miami)… and getting to know the family.” President Donald Trump said on Monday that the strikes were the “last and best opportunity” to strike Iran. War Secretary Pete Hegseth said the operation, unlike the Iraqi operation, would not continue indefinitely because they had a clear mission of eliminating the Iranian ballistic missile threat, destroying the Iranian Navy and ensuring “no nuclear weapons.”
“This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime has certainly changed, and the world is better off because of it,” Hegseth said. He added, “There was no nation-building quagmire, and no democracy-building practice.” “Our goals are clear. First, we destroy Iran’s missile capabilities… Second, we destroy their naval forces… Third, we ensure that the world’s number one sponsor of terrorism will never be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. Finally, we ensure that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, finance and direct terrorist armies beyond its borders,” Hegseth said.
