Speaker 1: Be willing to return to fully free autivation of has
Speaker 1: to b. I'm not gonna let him charge. Everybody's gonna charge,
Speaker 1: will charge. We're the one that has total We have
Speaker 1: total control. You know, we have a thing called a
Speaker 1: blockade with his navy, and that navy is they call
Speaker 1: it a wall of steel, the United States a wall
Speaker 1: of steel.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got two stories
Speaker 3: for you. Donald Trump says Iran talks are underway right now,
Speaker 3: calling the deal the last chance before decapitation. Second up,
Speaker 3: the President also said that if Iran doesn't agree to
Speaker 3: this deal, well then it's going to be an attack
Speaker 3: that we haven't seen since World War Two. So what
Speaker 3: happens next and who is behind this deal and getting
Speaker 3: it done? We explain it all. It's the forty seven
Speaker 3: Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 2: Story number one.
Speaker 3: President Donald Trump on Monday said the negotiations with Iran
Speaker 3: while they're already underway and calling the current talks Tehran's
Speaker 3: last chance. His exact words before what he warned would
Speaker 3: be a military campaign larger than any attack since World
Speaker 3: War Two, while insisting he would rather pursue diplomacy than
Speaker 3: authorize such a military operation. The President was speaking in
Speaker 3: the Oval Office, and Trump said that he had delayed
Speaker 3: the plan strikes after Iran, backed by Saudi Arabia and
Speaker 3: the United Air of Immirates and Qatar, as well as
Speaker 3: other regional countries, called and urged the President to give
Speaker 3: diplomacy yet again another chance, the President saying this from
Speaker 3: the Oval Office, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Mister President. This is at least a fifth time you've
Speaker 4: turned off air structions ton since even to negotiate. What
Speaker 4: is your mississy American people who wandering loved has changed
Speaker 4: this time?
Speaker 3: Why should be again?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, no, I don't know. I think we're
Speaker 4: going to maybe get something, but I want to give
Speaker 4: them every last chance before decapitation. Very tough to do.
Speaker 4: What we have planned still planned. We'll see what happens,
Speaker 4: but it's a very very tough thing to do. I
Speaker 4: think I'm very proud of the fact that I will
Speaker 4: give people, give people a chance. This is a big
Speaker 4: move to do an attack that big on a contry,
Speaker 4: and I'd rather not do it. And now we've already
Speaker 4: through lots of large attacks, but they were normal large.
Speaker 4: Hopefully they'll come to their senses because what happened. Cannot
Speaker 4: have a nuclear weapon, but hopefully they'll come to their senses.
Speaker 4: So they called me and they said, please don't attack.
Speaker 4: We'll make a deal. That's the real truth. And everyone
Speaker 4: knows it. And who wouldn't call And they found out
Speaker 4: through leaks and sleeves bags. You know, a lot of
Speaker 4: leakers should be put in jail. They should. They have
Speaker 4: to strengthen up the laws for the leakers. But in
Speaker 4: this case, leakers helped because they said the severity of
Speaker 4: the attack.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 4: Iran knew it, They knew what was coming. He was
Speaker 4: going to come last night, and it would have gone
Speaker 4: on for a long time and they'd be essentially very
Speaker 4: little left. There'd be nothing left. And if I am
Speaker 4: given a chance to let a lot of people live,
Speaker 4: I want to give that chance.
Speaker 3: Now, the President was pressed after that and why he
Speaker 3: was again delaying threatening strikes after repeatedly holding off on
Speaker 3: military action in recent weeks and now months. As you heard,
Speaker 3: the President said, look, I want to give them every
Speaker 3: last chance before decapitation. Now, Trump said he is still
Speaker 3: on hold for major military operations, and he said he's
Speaker 3: absolutely prepared if diplomacy yet again fails. He said, quote
Speaker 3: very tough to do what we have planned, still plan.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. Referring to what's next from Iran,
Speaker 3: he also wanted to say, if I'm given a chance
Speaker 3: to let a lot of people live, I want to
Speaker 3: give them that chance. This is the opposite of what
Speaker 3: the media and with the opposite of the left said.
Speaker 3: They said the President was trying to start World War III,
Speaker 3: he was willing to kill anybody. Obviously that's not true,
Speaker 3: the President describing as a big move to do an
Speaker 3: attack that big on a country, I'd rather not do
Speaker 3: it yet again, the president showing peace through strength now.
Speaker 3: President Trump also disputed Iran's claims that no US RAN
Speaker 3: negotiations are taking place, saying discussions are already underway despite
Speaker 3: Tehran's public denials, saying the talks are going on right now.
Speaker 3: We are talking right now at the request of Iran,
Speaker 3: back by Saudi Arabia, back by the UAE, and back
Speaker 3: by Katar. The President was also asked about this last chance,
Speaker 3: and the President described it this way. It's the last
Speaker 3: chance for these people, the Iranians, to sign a good document.
Speaker 4: I like saying that they're talking, so I say, we're
Speaker 4: in talks, big deal, We're in talks, and they'll sometimes
Speaker 4: deny it, even though they spent hours and hours together talking.
Speaker 4: Now the talks are going along, we're going to hit
Speaker 4: them very hard yesterday, very very hard, harder than any
Speaker 4: attack I think I can say general from a point
Speaker 4: of knowledge, any attack since World War Two. That's pretty big.
Speaker 4: And we were set to go, and they called, and
Speaker 4: in addition, Soudi Arabia call, and you you called, guitar call.
Speaker 4: I call some numerous people. I don't want to use
Speaker 4: the word begging, but some some work in particular Arend
Speaker 4: did not want to be hit. And they said, we
Speaker 4: want to talk. We want to talk about the straight
Speaker 4: but more importantly, from my standpoint, we want to talk
Speaker 4: about the denuclearization of Iran, because it's what it's all about.
Speaker 4: This is why I'm doing this, and it should have
Speaker 4: been done. So now fifty years we keep saying forty
Speaker 4: seven years, but three years have gone by, But it's
Speaker 4: for fifty years that other presidents should have been doing
Speaker 4: what I or other countries didn't have to be us,
Speaker 4: but other countries and nobody did it, and it was time,
Speaker 4: and we hit them hard with the B two's more
Speaker 4: than a year ago now, and that knocked out their
Speaker 4: capability for their potential capability. And we've done a great job.
Speaker 4: But when we talk, we say we're talking. If we're
Speaker 4: not talking, when you ask me, no we're not talking,
Speaker 4: I'll say it. But we are talking right now. We're talking,
Speaker 4: and we're talking at the request of Iran, backed by
Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia, back by UEE, and backed by Guitar in particular,
Speaker 4: but other there's also many, many countries, called many. The
Speaker 4: leaders of many up friendly with a lot of them,
Speaker 4: almost all of them one way or the other, and
Speaker 4: they all wanted to give this a last chance. This
Speaker 4: is the last chance. This is not something that it
Speaker 4: doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: This is the last chance.
Speaker 4: For them to sign a good document.
Speaker 3: Now, the President added, the talks are going to go quickly,
Speaker 3: one way or the other. The President outlined a two
Speaker 3: stage framework for the negotiation, saying the immediate priorities is
Speaker 3: reopening the straight uform news before broader talks on Iran's
Speaker 3: nuclear program. The President saying we're talking about the opening
Speaker 3: of the strait, having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open.
Speaker 3: That's phase one, and then phase two is we will
Speaker 3: talk about the nuclear the nuclearization of Iran and President
Speaker 3: Trump also rejected any suggestion that Iran would be permitted
Speaker 3: to impose those tariff fees on commercial shipping through the
Speaker 3: Strategic Waterway as well. He said, I'm not letting them charge.
Speaker 3: As you just heard now. Earlier in the day, Trump
Speaker 3: sharply criticized Iran's leadership after the Iranian officials publicly, yet
Speaker 3: again lied and denied the direct negotiations with Washington were
Speaker 3: taking place. The President said, on true social Iranian leadership
Speaker 3: is unbelievably duplicatous. They asked for a meeting, some would say,
Speaker 3: beg talks begin with more schedule than the immediate future.
Speaker 3: And they say openly and proudly they're not having any discussion,
Speaker 3: that nothing is being talked about, and they're only dealing
Speaker 3: with Oman trumbargaie that Iran was not only misrepresenting the
Speaker 3: negotiations but also overstating its control over the Strait of
Speaker 3: Hormus quote. They then go on to give their usual
Speaker 3: blather and saying the Strait of Hormuves will be operated
Speaker 3: powerfully by them when it is already completely controlled by
Speaker 3: the United States Navy, he continued, writing, nothing gets through
Speaker 3: to Iran unless we want it to, and nothing will
Speaker 3: get through unless the deal or total surrender is accomplished.
Speaker 3: Whether Iran once to admit it or not, we are
Speaker 3: in fact talking of a solution to a problem that
Speaker 3: they have caused for decades. It's very simple. Iran will
Speaker 3: never have a nuclear weapon now. Of course, Iran continues
Speaker 3: publicly to reject Trump's characterizations of the diplomacy. The Iranian
Speaker 3: Foreign minister spokesman said Monday that Terran is not engaged
Speaker 3: in direct negotiations with the United States and that its
Speaker 3: current discussions are with Oman over arrangements for shipping through
Speaker 3: the quote unquote straight of hermus We are not negotiating
Speaker 3: with the United States at this time, he said during
Speaker 3: his weekly press briefing, adding that issues involving Washington should
Speaker 3: be examined in the next stages. They went on to
Speaker 3: also say that the talks with them on are focused
Speaker 3: on establishing a mutually acceptable shipping corridor through the Strategic Waterway,
Speaker 3: rather than restoring navigation to its pre war status, while
Speaker 3: maintaining that Iran would continue defending what it describes is
Speaker 3: its sovereign rights in the Strait. And President Trump's remarks
Speaker 3: also came after announced over the weekend that he canceled
Speaker 3: plan strikes on Iran, after saying regional allies and you
Speaker 3: heard him talk about this, we're begging for diplomacy to
Speaker 3: have one more chance.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Board Air Force one, Trump also said the
Speaker 3: proposed operations, these military operations would have been quote the
Speaker 3: biggest since World War Two, before he agreed to delay
Speaker 3: it after the Allies urged him yet again to sit down,
Speaker 3: and President Trump yet again reiterating another point, saying he
Speaker 3: is under no time constraints to conclude the negotiations. He
Speaker 3: emphasized Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 3: and he said, this is why I'm doing this. Iran
Speaker 3: cannot have any nuclear weapons. So there's your update. This
Speaker 3: is where we are. Things are changing quickly. Many may
Speaker 3: hear this and say, weren't we just here weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Absolutely we were. But the threat of major military action
Speaker 3: is at its highest point so far, and now I
Speaker 3: have to wait and watch and see what happens. Moving forward.
