  Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got two stories
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: for you. Donald Trump says Iran talks are underway right now,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: calling the deal the last chance before decapitation. Second up,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the President also said that if Iran doesn't agree to
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: this deal, well then it's going to be an attack
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: that we haven't seen since World War Two. So what
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: happens next and who is behind this deal and getting
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: it done? We explain it all. It's the forty seven
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump on Monday said the negotiations with Iran
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: while they're already underway and calling the current talks Tehran's
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: last chance. His exact words before what he warned would
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: be a military campaign larger than any attack since World
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: War Two, while insisting he would rather pursue diplomacy than
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: authorize such a military operation. The President was speaking in
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the Oval Office, and Trump said that he had delayed
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: the plan strikes after Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the United Air of Immirates and Qatar, as well as
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: other regional countries, called and urged the President to give
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: diplomacy yet again another chance, the President saying this from
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the Oval Office, Thank you very much.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Mister President. This is at least a fifth time you've
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: turned off air structions ton since even to negotiate. What
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: is your mississy American people who wandering loved has changed
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: this time?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Why should be again?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, no, I don't know. I think we're
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: going to maybe get something, but I want to give
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: them every last chance before decapitation. Very tough to do.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: What we have planned still planned. We'll see what happens,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: but it's a very very tough thing to do. I
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: think I'm very proud of the fact that I will
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: give people, give people a chance. This is a big
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: move to do an attack that big on a contry,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and I'd rather not do it. And now we've already
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: through lots of large attacks, but they were normal large.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Hopefully they'll come to their senses because what happened. Cannot
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: have a nuclear weapon, but hopefully they'll come to their senses.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: So they called me and they said, please don't attack.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: We'll make a deal. That's the real truth. And everyone
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: knows it. And who wouldn't call And they found out
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: through leaks and sleeves bags. You know, a lot of
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: leakers should be put in jail. They should. They have
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: to strengthen up the laws for the leakers. But in
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: this case, leakers helped because they said the severity of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: the attack.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Iran knew it, They knew what was coming. He was
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: going to come last night, and it would have gone
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: on for a long time and they'd be essentially very
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: little left. There'd be nothing left. And if I am
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: given a chance to let a lot of people live,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I want to give that chance.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Now, the President was pressed after that and why he
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: was again delaying threatening strikes after repeatedly holding off on
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: military action in recent weeks and now months. As you heard,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the President said, look, I want to give them every
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: last chance before decapitation. Now, Trump said he is still
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: on hold for major military operations, and he said he's
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: absolutely prepared if diplomacy yet again fails. He said, quote
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: very tough to do what we have planned, still plan.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. Referring to what's next from Iran,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: he also wanted to say, if I'm given a chance
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to let a lot of people live, I want to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: give them that chance. This is the opposite of what
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the media and with the opposite of the left said.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: They said the President was trying to start World War III,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: he was willing to kill anybody. Obviously that's not true,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the President describing as a big move to do an
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: attack that big on a country, I'd rather not do
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it yet again, the president showing peace through strength now.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: President Trump also disputed Iran's claims that no US RAN
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: negotiations are taking place, saying discussions are already underway despite
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Tehran's public denials, saying the talks are going on right now.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: We are talking right now at the request of Iran,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: back by Saudi Arabia, back by the UAE, and back
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: by Katar. The President was also asked about this last chance,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: and the President described it this way. It's the last
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: chance for these people, the Iranians, to sign a good document.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: I like saying that they're talking, so I say, we're
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: in talks, big deal, We're in talks, and they'll sometimes
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: deny it, even though they spent hours and hours together talking.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Now the talks are going along, we're going to hit
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: them very hard yesterday, very very hard, harder than any
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: attack I think I can say general from a point
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: of knowledge, any attack since World War Two. That's pretty big.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: And we were set to go, and they called, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: in addition, Soudi Arabia call, and you you called, guitar call.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I call some numerous people. I don't want to use
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: the word begging, but some some work in particular Arend
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: did not want to be hit. And they said, we
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: want to talk. We want to talk about the straight
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: but more importantly, from my standpoint, we want to talk
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: about the denuclearization of Iran, because it's what it's all about.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: This is why I'm doing this, and it should have
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: been done. So now fifty years we keep saying forty
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: seven years, but three years have gone by, But it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: for fifty years that other presidents should have been doing
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: what I or other countries didn't have to be us,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: but other countries and nobody did it, and it was time,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: and we hit them hard with the B two's more
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: than a year ago now, and that knocked out their
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: capability for their potential capability. And we've done a great job.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: But when we talk, we say we're talking. If we're
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: not talking, when you ask me, no we're not talking,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I'll say it. But we are talking right now. We're talking,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: and we're talking at the request of Iran, backed by
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia, back by UEE, and backed by Guitar in particular,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: but other there's also many, many countries, called many. The
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: leaders of many up friendly with a lot of them,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: almost all of them one way or the other, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: they all wanted to give this a last chance. This
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: is the last chance. This is not something that it
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: doesn't happen.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: This is the last chance.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: For them to sign a good document.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Now, the President added, the talks are going to go quickly,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: one way or the other. The President outlined a two
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: stage framework for the negotiation, saying the immediate priorities is
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: reopening the straight uform news before broader talks on Iran's
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: nuclear program. The President saying we're talking about the opening
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: of the strait, having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: That's phase one, and then phase two is we will
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: talk about the nuclear the nuclearization of Iran and President
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Trump also rejected any suggestion that Iran would be permitted
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to impose those tariff fees on commercial shipping through the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Strategic Waterway as well. He said, I'm not letting them charge.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: As you just heard now. Earlier in the day, Trump
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: sharply criticized Iran's leadership after the Iranian officials publicly, yet
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: again lied and denied the direct negotiations with Washington were
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: taking place. The President said, on true social Iranian leadership
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: is unbelievably duplicatous. They asked for a meeting, some would say,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: beg talks begin with more schedule than the immediate future.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: And they say openly and proudly they're not having any discussion,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that nothing is being talked about, and they're only dealing
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: with Oman trumbargaie that Iran was not only misrepresenting the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: negotiations but also overstating its control over the Strait of
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Hormus quote. They then go on to give their usual
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: blather and saying the Strait of Hormuves will be operated
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: powerfully by them when it is already completely controlled by
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the United States Navy, he continued, writing, nothing gets through
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: to Iran unless we want it to, and nothing will
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: get through unless the deal or total surrender is accomplished.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Whether Iran once to admit it or not, we are
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: in fact talking of a solution to a problem that
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: they have caused for decades. It's very simple. Iran will
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: never have a nuclear weapon now. Of course, Iran continues
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: publicly to reject Trump's characterizations of the diplomacy. The Iranian
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Foreign minister spokesman said Monday that Terran is not engaged
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: in direct negotiations with the United States and that its
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: current discussions are with Oman over arrangements for shipping through
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the quote unquote straight of hermus We are not negotiating
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: with the United States at this time, he said during
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: his weekly press briefing, adding that issues involving Washington should
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: be examined in the next stages. They went on to
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: also say that the talks with them on are focused
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: on establishing a mutually acceptable shipping corridor through the Strategic Waterway,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: rather than restoring navigation to its pre war status, while
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: maintaining that Iran would continue defending what it describes is
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: its sovereign rights in the Strait. And President Trump's remarks
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: also came after announced over the weekend that he canceled
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: plan strikes on Iran, after saying regional allies and you
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: heard him talk about this, we're begging for diplomacy to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: have one more chance.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Board Air Force one, Trump also said the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: proposed operations, these military operations would have been quote the
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: biggest since World War Two, before he agreed to delay
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: it after the Allies urged him yet again to sit down,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and President Trump yet again reiterating another point, saying he
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: is under no time constraints to conclude the negotiations. He
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: emphasized Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: and he said, this is why I'm doing this. Iran
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: cannot have any nuclear weapons. So there's your update. This
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: is where we are. Things are changing quickly. Many may
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: hear this and say, weren't we just here weeks ago.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Absolutely we were. But the threat of major military action
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: is at its highest point so far, and now I
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: have to wait and watch and see what happens. Moving forward.
