00:00President Trump announced late Wednesday that he has it on good authority that the killings
00:04in Iran are stopping. We have been notified and pretty strongly, but we'll find out what that
00:11all means. But we've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping. It's stopped. It's stopping.
00:20And there's no plan for executions or an execution or executions.
00:25That statement begged the question, is a U.S. strike if Iran now off the table? In classic
00:31Trump style, the president responded that he'd have to wait and see. It is worth noting that just
00:37before strikes were carried out on Iran's nuclear facilities last year, a sort of public deception
00:43campaign was unleashed by the White House, giving similar indications that U.S. military action was
00:48not imminent, when, of course, we know now that it was. The president's wait and see approach was not
00:53enough to quell concerns in Iran. They closed their airspace to any flight not originating from
00:59or landing in the country for at least two hours on Wednesday evening. All the recent developments
01:04came shortly after Iranian state TV not so subtly appeared to threaten to assassinate President
01:09Trump. It broadcast a picture of Trump during the 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania attempt on his life.
01:15And as if the image alone wasn't enough to make their intention crystal clear,
01:19written alongside it, the words, quote, this time it will not miss the target. Iran has reportedly
01:25plotted to kill Trump before. The Department of Justice said that a man who was arrested in 2024
01:30was tasked by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps to murder the president in the name of the Iranian regime.
