<v Speaker 1>blockade with his navy, and that navy is they call

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>it a wall of steel, the United States a wall

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of steel.

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 3>Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 3>the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got two stories

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 3>for you. Donald Trump says Iran talks are underway right now,

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 3>calling the deal the last chance before decapitation. Second up,

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 3>the President also said that if Iran doesn't agree to

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 3>this deal, well then it's going to be an attack

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 3>that we haven't seen since World War Two. So what

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 3>happens next and who is behind this deal and getting

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>it done? We explain it all. It's the forty seven

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Morning Update and it starts right now.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Story number one.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 3>President Donald Trump on Monday said the negotiations with Iran

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 3>while they're already underway and calling the current talks Tehran's

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 3>last chance. His exact words before what he warned would

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 3>be a military campaign larger than any attack since World

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 3>War Two, while insisting he would rather pursue diplomacy than

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>authorize such a military operation. The President was speaking in

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 3>the Oval Office, and Trump said that he had delayed

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 3>the plan strikes after Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia and

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>the United Air of Immirates and Qatar, as well as

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 3>other regional countries, called and urged the President to give

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 3>diplomacy yet again another chance, the President saying this from

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 3>the Oval Office, Thank you very much.

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 4>Mister President. This is at least a fifth time you've

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 4>turned off air structions ton since even to negotiate. What

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 4>is your mississy American people who wandering loved has changed

0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 4>this time?

0:01:58.680 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Why should be again?

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, no, I don't know. I think we're

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 4>going to maybe get something, but I want to give

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 4>them every last chance before decapitation. Very tough to do.

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 4>What we have planned still planned. We'll see what happens,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 4>but it's a very very tough thing to do. I

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>think I'm very proud of the fact that I will

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.119
<v Speaker 4>give people, give people a chance. This is a big

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 4>move to do an attack that big on a contry,

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 4>and I'd rather not do it. And now we've already

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>through lots of large attacks, but they were normal large.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully they'll come to their senses because what happened. Cannot

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 4>have a nuclear weapon, but hopefully they'll come to their senses.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 4>So they called me and they said, please don't attack.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 4>We'll make a deal. That's the real truth. And everyone

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 4>knows it. And who wouldn't call And they found out

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 4>through leaks and sleeves bags. You know, a lot of

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 4>leakers should be put in jail. They should. They have

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 4>to strengthen up the laws for the leakers. But in

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 4>this case, leakers helped because they said the severity of

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 4>the attack.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And.

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 4>Iran knew it, They knew what was coming. He was

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 4>going to come last night, and it would have gone

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 4>on for a long time and they'd be essentially very

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 4>little left. There'd be nothing left. And if I am

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 4>given a chance to let a lot of people live,

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>I want to give that chance.

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Now, the President was pressed after that and why he

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 3>was again delaying threatening strikes after repeatedly holding off on

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 3>military action in recent weeks and now months. As you heard,

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 3>the President said, look, I want to give them every

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 3>last chance before decapitation. Now, Trump said he is still

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 3>on hold for major military operations, and he said he's

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 3>absolutely prepared if diplomacy yet again fails. He said, quote

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 3>very tough to do what we have planned, still plan.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 3>We'll see what happens. Referring to what's next from Iran,

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 3>he also wanted to say, if I'm given a chance

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>to let a lot of people live, I want to

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 3>give them that chance. This is the opposite of what

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>the media and with the opposite of the left said.

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 3>They said the President was trying to start World War III,

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>he was willing to kill anybody. Obviously that's not true,

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>the President describing as a big move to do an

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 3>attack that big on a country, I'd rather not do

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 3>it yet again, the president showing peace through strength now.

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 3>President Trump also disputed Iran's claims that no US RAN

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>negotiations are taking place, saying discussions are already underway despite

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Tehran's public denials, saying the talks are going on right now.

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 3>We are talking right now at the request of Iran,

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 3>back by Saudi Arabia, back by the UAE, and back

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 3>by Katar. The President was also asked about this last chance,

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 3>and the President described it this way. It's the last

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 3>chance for these people, the Iranians, to sign a good document.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 4>I like saying that they're talking, so I say, we're

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 4>in talks, big deal, We're in talks, and they'll sometimes

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.559
<v Speaker 4>deny it, even though they spent hours and hours together talking.

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 4>Now the talks are going along, we're going to hit

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 4>them very hard yesterday, very very hard, harder than any

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 4>attack I think I can say general from a point

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 4>of knowledge, any attack since World War Two. That's pretty big.

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 4>And we were set to go, and they called, and

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 4>in addition, Soudi Arabia call, and you you called, guitar call.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 4>I call some numerous people. I don't want to use

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 4>the word begging, but some some work in particular Arend

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 4>did not want to be hit. And they said, we

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 4>want to talk. We want to talk about the straight

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 4>but more importantly, from my standpoint, we want to talk

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 4>about the denuclearization of Iran, because it's what it's all about.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 4>This is why I'm doing this, and it should have

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 4>been done. So now fifty years we keep saying forty

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 4>seven years, but three years have gone by, But it's

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 4>for fifty years that other presidents should have been doing

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 4>what I or other countries didn't have to be us,

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 4>but other countries and nobody did it, and it was time,

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 4>and we hit them hard with the B two's more

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 4>than a year ago now, and that knocked out their

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 4>capability for their potential capability. And we've done a great job.

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 4>But when we talk, we say we're talking. If we're

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 4>not talking, when you ask me, no we're not talking,

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I'll say it. But we are talking right now. We're talking,

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 4>and we're talking at the request of Iran, backed by

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Saudi Arabia, back by UEE, and backed by Guitar in particular,

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 4>but other there's also many, many countries, called many. The

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 4>leaders of many up friendly with a lot of them,

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 4>almost all of them one way or the other, and

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 4>they all wanted to give this a last chance. This

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 4>is the last chance. This is not something that it

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 4>doesn't happen.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the last chance.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 4>For them to sign a good document.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Now, the President added, the talks are going to go quickly,

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 3>one way or the other. The President outlined a two

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 3>stage framework for the negotiation, saying the immediate priorities is

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 3>reopening the straight uform news before broader talks on Iran's

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>nuclear program. The President saying we're talking about the opening

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.239
<v Speaker 3>of the strait, having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 3>That's phase one, and then phase two is we will

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 3>talk about the nuclear the nuclearization of Iran and President

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Trump also rejected any suggestion that Iran would be permitted

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 3>to impose those tariff fees on commercial shipping through the

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Strategic Waterway as well. He said, I'm not letting them charge.

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 3>As you just heard now. Earlier in the day, Trump

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 3>sharply criticized Iran's leadership after the Iranian officials publicly, yet

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 3>again lied and denied the direct negotiations with Washington were

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 3>taking place. The President said, on true social Iranian leadership

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>is unbelievably duplicatous. They asked for a meeting, some would say,

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 3>beg talks begin with more schedule than the immediate future.

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 3>And they say openly and proudly they're not having any discussion,

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 3>that nothing is being talked about, and they're only dealing

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 3>with Oman trumbargaie that Iran was not only misrepresenting the

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 3>negotiations but also overstating its control over the Strait of

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Hormus quote. They then go on to give their usual

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 3>blather and saying the Strait of Hormuves will be operated

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 3>powerfully by them when it is already completely controlled by

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 3>the United States Navy, he continued, writing, nothing gets through

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 3>to Iran unless we want it to, and nothing will

0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 3>get through unless the deal or total surrender is accomplished.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 3>Whether Iran once to admit it or not, we are

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>in fact talking of a solution to a problem that

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 3>they have caused for decades. It's very simple. Iran will

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 3>never have a nuclear weapon now. Of course, Iran continues

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 3>publicly to reject Trump's characterizations of the diplomacy. The Iranian

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Foreign minister spokesman said Monday that Terran is not engaged

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 3>in direct negotiations with the United States and that its

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 3>current discussions are with Oman over arrangements for shipping through

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 3>the quote unquote straight of hermus We are not negotiating

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 3>with the United States at this time, he said during

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 3>his weekly press briefing, adding that issues involving Washington should

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 3>be examined in the next stages. They went on to

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 3>also say that the talks with them on are focused

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 3>on establishing a mutually acceptable shipping corridor through the Strategic Waterway,

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 3>rather than restoring navigation to its pre war status, while

0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 3>maintaining that Iran would continue defending what it describes is

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 3>its sovereign rights in the Strait. And President Trump's remarks

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 3>also came after announced over the weekend that he canceled

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 3>plan strikes on Iran, after saying regional allies and you

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 3>heard him talk about this, we're begging for diplomacy to

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 3>have one more chance.

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of Board Air Force one, Trump also said the

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 3>proposed operations, these military operations would have been quote the

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 3>biggest since World War Two, before he agreed to delay

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 3>it after the Allies urged him yet again to sit down,

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 3>and President Trump yet again reiterating another point, saying he

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 3>is under no time constraints to conclude the negotiations. He

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 3>emphasized Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon,

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 3>and he said, this is why I'm doing this. Iran

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 3>cannot have any nuclear weapons. So there's your update. This

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>is where we are. Things are changing quickly. Many may

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 3>hear this and say, weren't we just here weeks ago.

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely we were. But the threat of major military action

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 3>is at its highest point so far, and now I

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 3>have to wait and watch and see what happens. Moving forward.
