  Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. The sixty days ceasefire agreement between the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: US and Iran set to expire tomorrow, as tensions remain
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: high over the Straight of Horn Moves and the talks
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: between Washington and Tehran remain uncertain at best. President Trump
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: also warning Iran, saying he would hit back if attacked.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Capable of really destroying the whole place. We don't want
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to do that. We have got economic sanctions against them
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: like nobody's ever had before. We own, in the true sense,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we own the Hormostrait. If they hit, we would hit
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: back one hundred times harder.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Chief foreign correspondent Tree Yanks live in Tel Aviv with
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the very latest. Hey Trey.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yea, Hey Kevin. Good afternoon. Monday will mark sixty days
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: since the Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the United
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: States and Iran, and technically it is set to expire.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: There are no reports of serious diplomatic progress to reopen
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the Straight of hor Moves and address to nuclear ambitions,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: and this weekend Iran continued attacks in the Strait. On Saturday,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: a bulk carrier reported being hit by an unknown projectile
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: a day prior, and Emoradi oil vessel was also targeted.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: President Trump spoke on Friday about the conflict with Iran
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and the Strait of Hormuz.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: pretty soon, I'll be declaring the hormones straight a territory
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: of the United States, shake saying that letter, we have
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: the blockade, no ships get through unless.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: We want them to.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: With a focus on Iran, we're also tracking the latest
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: developments between Israel and Iran backed Hezbola in southern Lebanon.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Has Bela violated the ceasefire over the weekend, wounding three
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Israeli soldiers. This prompted Israel to launch a new round
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: of strikes against targets in southern Lebanon.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Hesbula committed two major violations today Israeli troops who are
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: operating the security zone in contravention of the ceasefire agreement.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: And then when Israel responded, they moved civilians inside their
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: terrorists headquarters. They use their own civilians as human shields
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: so that later on they could point at Israel and
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: say the Israel's targeting civilians, which we are not doing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Overnight, the IDF warned residents of northern Israel to be
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: prepared for loud explosions throughout the night as operations against
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Hezbolah continued.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Kevin, great tray Yanks for US trey be safe. Thank
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you as always appreciate your time today for more on
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the US Iran ceasefire deadline. We want to welcome Kyraen
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Skinn our Functions contributor to the program today. Kyen, it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: always a pleasure to have your wisdom on this particular topic.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And I think it goes without saying that most people
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: feel like this really wasn't much of a ceasefire when
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you frankly consider the US hit them, they hit some ships.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Does it really mean anything to you that the seasfire
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: deadline is effectively over tomorrow?
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: It does mean something. The ceasefire broke down in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: first instance because the Tehran government violated it with continual
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: menacing of ships and any activity through the Strait of Hormos.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: So it starts with them, and when President Trump caught
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: up to what they were doing, he reimposed sanctions and
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: economic sanctions, and he has declared he will even double
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: down on those sanctions, making them much more restrictive than
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: the IRGC and the government have ever seen. So it
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: starts with a rogue regime that refuses to understand and
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: support international conventions. What's at stake right now when you
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: think about it in this war, Kevin, is the fact
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: that we have one nation that is violating a fundamental
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: norm of the international system, and that is free, open,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: and safe navigation of the seas right as it does
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: not want that, yes, and it does not want that
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: to happen, and as a result, it is holding the
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: world hostage. We're in a global hostage crisis, That's the
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: way I've been putting it lately, due to one nation.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: It's impossible to negotiate with them until they understand the
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: level of pain that can be inflicted on them. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: that's what President Trump is prepared to do on the
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: non connect kinetic side, with the new round of sanctions
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: and really the new round of organizing of nations of
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: goodwill against this government.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: We've got about forty five seconds, but I did want
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to get you to weigh in on this. I liked
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: how you put it a global hostage crisis, and yet
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we would need global cooperation to really make a big difference,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: especially as the President continues to affect more economic pressure.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But frankly, I think it goes without saying. It's not
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just China, it's not just Russia. It's some of the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: actors in Europe who say one thing out of one
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: side of their mouth and then do something else to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: try to prop up the regime as well. What can
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we do to get a global frankly, global cooperation in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: making sure that this thing ends sooner than later by
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: applying all the economic pressure as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: You're spot on with that question, and in fact it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: happening organically. Even if the Europeans, the Russians, and the
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Chinese aren't where they need to be on the column
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: of freedom, the rest of the world is actually moving
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: in that direction. Look at what the Mecca Accord has
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: done with the Saudis, the Turks, the pakistanis coming together
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: in a mutual defense pack Rock and Jordan trying to
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: open a pipeline. The Saudis beefing up at an unusual rate,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: the East West Pipeline. Iran is being encircled by new
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: actors that are coming together in unprecedented ways to say
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: we want freedom. And then the non OPEC countries that
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: are doing unexpected increases in their oil expiration, Brazil, for example,
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Guyana the big surprise of the last ten years. They're
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: just new zones of freedom that are emerging, and that
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: supports the United States and Israel, and it's not being
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: directed by the US or Israel. As I just said,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: this is an organic response to the isolation that Iran
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: finds itself.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Fit.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I love that because I think ultimately the international community
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: really wants peace in the region, and if it can't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: rely on the Iranians to step back and respect international waters, collectively,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to all have to figure out a way
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to get around it. And that seems to be happening
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: both organically and through some strategic planning between the US
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and our partners in the region. Kirene Skinner, a great pleasure,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you as always for your time on
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a weekend. Have a good one.
