- 0:47Speaker 3: With USA, with USA.

- 1:18Speaker 4: are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic
- 1:21Speaker 4: of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow should
- 1:24Speaker 4: the Iranian government act on its threat pronounced in many
- 1:27Speaker 4: corners of the globe, to assassinate or attempt to assassinate
- 1:30Speaker 4: the sitting President of the United States of America. In
- 1:32Speaker 4: this case, me orders have already been given and the
- 1:35Speaker 4: US military is ready willing and able overnight. Iran's foreign minister,
- 1:39Speaker 4: responding on x Iran has so far kept its word,
- 1:42Speaker 4: unlike the so called US Treasury Secretary, who is violating
- 1:45Speaker 4: paragraph three of the MoU Reporters notebook. Here, guys, for
- 1:48Speaker 4: those who don't have a copy the MoU handy, that's
- 1:51Speaker 4: Iran complaining about slapping sanctions on and including revoking Iran's
- 1:56Speaker 4: license sell oil.
- 1:57Speaker 5: As you mentioned off.
- 1:58Speaker 4: The top, racial two aircraft carrier strike groups remain on
- 2:00Speaker 4: station well off the coast of ron Bush and Lincoln.
- 2:03Speaker 4: The USSA Bram Lincoln has been at sea now for
- 2:05Speaker 4: over two hundred days without a port call let that
- 2:08Speaker 4: sink in, guys, there are numerous a US Air Force
- 2:11Speaker 4: fighter squadrons deployed to.
- 2:12Speaker 5: The Middle East, including here in Israel.
- 2:14Speaker 4: So after President Trump revoked I Run's licensees sell oil
- 2:18Speaker 4: during the two day NATO summit in Oncoramini, we're asking
- 2:21Speaker 4: how will this be enforced? President Trump said he may
- 2:23Speaker 4: return the blockade.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Guys, Lucas, can I just follow up a little bit
- 2:28Speaker 2: on the what's happening in the straight up Horror moves.
- 2:31Speaker 2: We understood this week that the eight hundred ships have
- 2:35Speaker 2: been able to get through, some of them guided and
- 2:39Speaker 2: protected by the US. What can you tell us as
- 2:41Speaker 2: the latest there?
- 2:44Speaker 4: Those numbers are still nowhere near what it used to
- 2:46Speaker 4: be before the war. On a given day, about one
- 2:48Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five ships used to transit the straight
- 2:51Speaker 4: off form moves in both directions. And so while there's
- 2:54Speaker 4: been some good news about more ships getting out, Iran
- 2:57Speaker 4: does not want to see ships use that southerly channel
- 2:59Speaker 4: off the coast of Oman. They want to see ships
- 3:02Speaker 4: go through the northern part of the straight off Horror moves,
- 3:05Speaker 4: and that's the reason they said they opened fire on
- 3:08Speaker 4: three different commercial ships. But you saw the American response
- 3:10Speaker 4: over the last two nights, it's been pretty quiet.
- 3:13Speaker 5: The US military didn't launch a third round of strikes.
- 3:15Speaker 4: S griff I told they were armed and ready to
- 3:17Speaker 4: do it, but they were not called on to conduct
- 3:19Speaker 4: a third round of strikes, perhaps one for each ship
- 3:22Speaker 4: that was hit.
- 3:22Speaker 5: So for now it's a waiting game.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Most likely what officials tell me, it's up to Iran
- 3:26Speaker 4: and make the next move.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Guys, There's been some talk that Iran is trying to
- 3:30Speaker 3: figure out an arrangement with Oman for figuring out a
- 3:34Speaker 3: way to join them to toll the straight of horror moves.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Do you have anything more on that.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Well, it's not going to make many friends in the
- 3:42Speaker 4: White House, will it, guys, if if Oman starts to
- 3:45Speaker 4: cozy up to Iran like that.
- 3:46Speaker 5: So the White House's been pretty firm.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Any for the Omani's to cozy up to the Iranians
- 3:51Speaker 4: is not a smart play.
- 3:53Speaker 1: How concerned do people in the region and both in
- 3:57Speaker 1: the White House have of this thing escalating? I mean,
- 3:59Speaker 1: we know that Iran has tried to you know, has
- 4:03Speaker 1: had made statements about wanting to assassinate President Trump and
- 4:06Speaker 1: others who have been prominent figures in our government. Before
- 4:10Speaker 1: we're hearing this now, is this going to escalate things?
- 4:15Speaker 1: Is there an effort being made at the diplomatic level
- 4:18Speaker 1: to bring this down to just let us open up
- 4:21Speaker 1: the straight support moves and be done with this, Rachel.
- 4:25Speaker 4: It's always hard to predict the future, particularly on live television,
- 4:28Speaker 4: but over the last unit it's been pretty quiet. What
- 4:31Speaker 4: really irked the White House was Iron launching the's attacks
- 4:33Speaker 4: while President Trump was abroad.
- 4:35Speaker 5: He was an ankre Turkey for the NATO summit.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Perhaps Aram's a little irked about its team losing in
- 4:39Speaker 4: the World Cup as well, And of course these attacks
- 4:42Speaker 4: happened during the six day state funeral for the late Ayatola.
- 4:45Speaker 4: So for now, it does appear that things have calmed
- 4:47Speaker 4: down a little bit. You saw the Qatari mediators, Pakistani's
- 4:50Speaker 4: get involved. It does look like this is opening up
- 4:53Speaker 4: a new round of talks, Rachel. If last unit's has
- 4:56Speaker 4: been pretty quiet, perhaps that will continue as we're back
- 4:59Speaker 4: to the diplomatic A push.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Well makes live predictions on live television, which is why
- 5:06Speaker 3: we're all in business. Lucas, thank you so much, Thanks Lucas, Thanks.
