1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jaguti. Dave Are US correspondent Djigouti, what's

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Trump being tweeting or true socially overnight about Iran.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has threatened essentially more action in Iran. He said,

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: a massive armada is heading that way. It's moving quickly

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: with great power, enthusiasm and purpose. This is a fleet,

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: it's the USS Abraham Lincoln with warships alongside, that has

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: been sent to Iran. This is the President confirming on

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: truth's social and he's saying that this fleet is larger

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: than that was sent to Venezuela. And he is essentially

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: calling on Iran to come to the table and negotiate

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: a nuclear deal, one that is involving no nuclear weapons.

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Is what he said in capitals. He's saying, as I

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: told Iran once before, make a deal. They didn't, and

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: there was Operation Midnight Hammer. This is a reference to

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: last June's US strikes on the three nuclear facilities in Iran,

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: and he said that the next attack will be far worse.

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 2: Don't make that happen again, not like this.

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: As others aren't paying attention this time, right, the Europeans

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: are very nervous about this. The Israelis are really nervous

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: about you know, what does Iran do if America does

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: do something.

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean You've got a response to this from

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: the Iran's mission to the United Nations. They say that

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: Iran is ready for dialogue based on mutual respects and interests,

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: but if pushed, it would defend itself and respond like

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: never before. So you have you know, US and Iran,

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: their relations have been pretty shaky, as I think as

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: an understatement, and Donald Trump has talked about intervention following

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: those massive protests that we've seen in Iran, the biggest

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: in decades, and he first of all said that he

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: would intervene if protesters were killed, but then he changed

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: his mind, saying that it looks like things were calming down.

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: Then now protests there have stopped, and in this message

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: through social posts, the president is now threatening. It appears

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: over nuclear program the US pulled. Remember President Trump pulled

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: the US out of the Iran nuclear deal and subsequent

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: talks have stalled. Partners in the region have said, you know,

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: the UA in Saudi Arabian particular, have said most recently

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: that any US led operation in Iran would not they

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: would not be participating in it, they would not be

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: using their territorial waters or airspace to take part in

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: those in any further strikes on Iran, So I think

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 2: this is something that the US is weighing, whether the

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: partners in the Middle East are going to be on board,

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: and also whether people in Iran strikes in Iran, whether

46
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: that would help or hinder protesters, and how it would

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: be received internally in Iran as well. So I think

48
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: there's lots of considerations, but that clearly action is not

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: off the table yet to grow to You.
