1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: And let's go to Washington. So Iran's already said not

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: to Trump. This is on his call to open the

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: effing straight Wednesday, New Zealand. Time is the deadline, and

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: there was talk of a ceasefire, plans for a ceasefire

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: that Iran has already rejected. In forty five days. Trump

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: and Higseeth, they've been speaking at a press conference at

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: the White House about the rescue of the us EM

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: and at the weekend.

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: Where we're doing unbelievably well, well at a level that

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: nobody's ever seen before. The entire country could be taken

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: out in.

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: One night, and that night might be tomorrow night.

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Are special operators, pilots, and support crews performed with near

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: perfection under fire, and they were lethal. Just ask any

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: Iranian soldier who dared attempt to get anywhere near that

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: pilot or during that mission.

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Kate Fisher feature story News in DC for US this morning. Kate,

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: good to have you on the program. Sounds like quite

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: a well, a massive mission involving heaps of aircraft.

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 3: That's right, hundreds of them. Donald Trump clearly very proud

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: of his military, very impressed by this kind of undertaking,

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: and delighted that it all happened without any further casualty

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: on the US side. He says that twenty one aircraft

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: came to help rescue the airman who ejected when his

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 3: plane was struck down by the Iranians, and Donald Trump

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: described how he was bleeding profusely but still managed to

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: climb up into this ridge on the side of a

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: mountain until he could be found by Percy Well, the

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: CIA located him, and then to be found by the

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: US military to be rescued.

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely fascinating. So what happens from here? You know,

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: Trump's obviously made ultimatums, but he's made these ultimatums before

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: in Iran as clearly calling as bluff.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, he's saying, he's reiterated double down that this new

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: deadline that he put on social media over the weekend

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: of Tuesday at eight pm Eastern time here in Washington.

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: My master is not good enough to work out what

38
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: time that is for you, but that that's essentially tomorrow evening,

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: that he will be obliterating Iran if they do not

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: reopen the Strait of Hormos. As you just mentioned, Iran

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: rejected a peace plan that was put forward by these

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: intermediaries Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, but it did submit its

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: own ten point plan to the Americans, and Donald Trump

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: said that this was a significant proposal, but he said

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: it wasn't good enough, although he acknowledged it was a

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: significant step. So it does sound as if there is

47
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: diplomacy going on in the background, but at the same time,

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: publicly the US certainly well from both sides, the rhetoric

49
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: is very aggressive. You've got Donald Trump and his members,

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: you know, have Pete Heggs has just left the lectern

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: at the White House. The head of the CIA is

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: also spoken, the General of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: This is all the top people involved in this mission

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: speaking at the White House. Kind of in this lap

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: of glory, lap of victory over this rescue of and airmen.

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound like kind of dialing down of the

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: rhetoric or the violence. But at the same time we

58
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: understand diplomacy is happening.

59
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960
