  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, major progress made overnight in the negotiations with iron
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: after Vice President d Add Vance traveled to Switzerland to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: meet with the mediators from the Middle East.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Man who's all over at Chief Foreign Corresponding Trey Yangs
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: joined US now from Tel Aviv with the latest.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Ay Trey, Yeah, Hey, guys, good morning. High level diplomatic
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: talks wrapped up overnight in Switzerland aimed at solidifying the
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: memorandum of understanding and entering into the next phase of negotiations.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: We know that both Qatar and Pakistan released a statement
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: indicating a committee has been formed. That committee reached an
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: understanding on a roadmap for the technical talks over the
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: next sixty days. A US diplomat involved in the talks
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: told Fox News that some of the discussion was focused
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: on clarifying the confusing messaging on the Strait of Horn
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: moves to ensure it will remain open, adding that robust
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: discussions on all elements of the nuclear deal are ongoing.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: On Sunday, Vice President Vance laid out the broader questions.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Straight of Hormuz, the ending of the Iranian nuclear program.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: All of these things have already been accomplished. The question
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: before US now is how much more can we accomplish together?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Can we turn over a new leaf, Can we change
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: relations in the Middle East permanently? Or do we go
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: back to doing things the old which is not our preference,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: but it is certainly very much something that can happen.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: The Iranians also acknowledge major progress in the talks, adding
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that a deconfliction cell for Lebanon will be the first
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: real test of the understanding. Israel and Hesbela did not
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: trade fire on Sunday for the first time since March second,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: according to the UN. In response, Israel lifted all restrictions
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: for civilians in the north of the country. In a
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: call with Fox News on Sunday, President Trump said he
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: was disappointed Israel can't put Hesbelah away. The leader of Hesbela,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Naim Kassam, gave a televised speech over the weekend indicating
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: that Israeli forces staying in southern Lebanon would mean a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: violation of the deal mafiche.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: There is no such thing as a ceasefire that grants
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Israel freedom of action. A ceasefire means a complete halt
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: of hostilities by air, land and sea. It means no demolitions,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: no concilidation of its presence in the occupied areas, no
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: further advances in preparations for the withdrawal, which should take
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: place according to a rapid time bound schedule.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Lebanon will likely remain a sticking point in the memorandum
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: of understanding. When I spoke with the President, he indicated
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: this sixty day ceasefire is an option for him and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that both military and diplomatic action could be on the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: table after that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Gosh a trade.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Does it seem like there's a disconnect between what's in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the MoU and what the president's saying to you. I mean,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: for example, Iran says it says it in the MoU
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that Iran will conduct dialogue with Oman to decide about
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: basically the administration of the Strait with services administration of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the Strait. I mean, the President says is going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: be no tolls, but it's actually in the MoU that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: there didn't negotiate tolls. I mean, this something as fundamental
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: as at and letting sanctions off and sell oil at
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: full market price. I mean, it doesn't see it seems
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: like we gave away the store before the opening.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: My sense after talking with the President is that he
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: is giving this sixty day window a chance to see
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: what they can actually agree on at the negotiating table.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: As it relates to the Strait of Hormuz, he actually
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: left open the possibility of taking control of the strait
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and said if there are going to be tolls, they
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: will be charged by the United States, and the US
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: could even take oil in that environment. The President described
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: this as the United States being the guardian angel of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz. And so again my sense is
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: that despite what is written in this agreement and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: statements that we've heard from the Iranian regime, the President
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: is going to demand what he wants here. And we
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: know that the United States is not on board with
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the Iranians tolling the Strait of Hormuz. They're also not
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: on board with the Iranians enriching uranium for military purposes. Now,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the President left open the idea in the future that
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Iran could have some sort of civilian enrichment, but he
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: directly spoke against the statement yesterday from Iran's President Masud Pezeshkian,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: saying he better watches mouth when he is talking about
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Iran and enriching uranium and speaking out against the president himself,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: and so again I think a lot of the things
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: here are going to have to be negotiated during this timeframe.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Both Pakistan and Katar seem optimistic that they've at least
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: reached an understanding about how these technical details are.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Going to be discussed.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: But the devil is in.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: The details here, and I don't think we're going to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: have an actual answer on what the Iranians are willing
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to give up and the concessions they're willing to make
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: until this sixty day window passes.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: And also, Trey, when it comes to the latest news,
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: you just said it that Iran and the United States
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: agreed to create a deconfliction cell in Lebanon. To the
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: best of your knowledge, can you explain what that might mean.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it would likely have to do with any sort
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: of operations that are taking place against Hesbla. And we
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: heard from the President yesterday on True Social and he
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: said that he would resume bombing the Iranians if they
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: will not get their proxies in Lebanon under control. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: he is talking about Hesbolah, Because again, this is one
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: of those points that could derail this memorandum of understanding
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: because the Iranians are trying to tie the situation in
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: southern Lebanon to the broader agreement. But remember, the Israelis
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: lost five soldiers of their own this weekend over a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: forty eight hour period. Hesbola killed five IDF soldiers and
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the Israelis responded with air strikes against Hesbola. And they
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: say they will not only maintain a security zone, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: they will maintain the right to strike if Hesbela attacks
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: their forces. And so again, this will be one area
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: where at least they're trying to deconflict, but the broader
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: effort by the Trump administration is very important.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: There is a parallel diplomatic track ongoing, and they're trying
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to reach an understanding with the Lebanese Army and the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Lebanese government to work on one goal to disarm Hesbela.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: And if they're.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Successful in that, you could see a scenario, I'm told
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: by regional intelligence sources where you actually have the IDF
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: and the Lebanese Army working together in southern Lebanon to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: reclaim villages that the IDF has cleared and allows civilians
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to return to these villages and ensure that Hesbela is
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: not rearming or reforming in the southern part of Lebanon,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and so that parallel track could actually address some of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the concerns as it relates to the issue of the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: conflict between Israel and Hesbelah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's perfect, and now they can't the talking point that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Israel's going against Lebanon and not Hesbealah. That talking point
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: is dead at that moment thanks to messagery. I do
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: get the impression, guys, just talking with the president of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the weekend that the document, we've obsessed over the document
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the about you for so much, but I'm not sure
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: how much weight it carries in his eyes. I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the way he looks at it is that it was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a starting point and he wants to go back and forth.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: But many the things that the Iranians are doing and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: suggesting are infuriating the president, and he's saying, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: if they want to do this, then I got to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: strike them. I got to strike them. So I'm not
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: sure this document well means any.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: But then why the President's got to negotiate directly then,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: because the Steve Wikoff loves this document and the JD
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Vance put this document together and they're negotiating the thing,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: and the president's on the outside.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: The President's got to go on the inside because then
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the negotiators are wasting their time because I mean, no
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: one's happy with this document. The president doesn't seem to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: be happy, as you indicated. So why are the people
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that created the document negotiating the deal? Because clearly, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: think Jdvans, who's late to this party, I don't understand
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the depth of the disagreement, and the fact that he
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: hopped down Friday and starts ripping Israel and says they
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: have no friends is ridiculous. Have you heard of the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Abraham Accords? I mean, do you understand that the Gulf
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: States are tighty with Israel?
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Then?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Ever before do you understand do you ever hear of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the country India? India has been extremely tight with Israel.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So if you don't attack Israel, they don't attack you.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: This is a survival thing, and we should ever have
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: allowed the Hezbla situation to be linked with this. They
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: have no right to be in another country and Iran
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: has no right to finance HESBLA in that country.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so sixty days to negotiate, we'll see what happens.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: If something happens in that sixty day period or thereafter
