Did Trump once say Obama would start war with Iran due to his inability to negotiate?

In a years-old video that resurfaced online in early 2026 amid increasing U.S. tensions with Iran, Trump also called Obama "weak" and "ineffective."

Donald Trump once said, "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective."
