00:02This week could shape what happens next with Iran.
00:06Iran's top diplomat has arrived in Geneva this morning for another round of indirect talks with the United States,
00:13focused on Tehran's nuclear program.
00:15Over the weekend in Slovakia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that for now, diplomacy is the goal.
00:23We are focused on negotiations. That's what we're for. The president's made that clear.
00:27If that changes, it'll be obvious to everyone, and obviously whatever the law requires us to do, we'll do.
00:33The U.S. delegation, including Envoy Steve Witkoff, is expected to meet through Omani mediators on Tuesday, as they did
00:41earlier this month.
00:43Iran has signaled it's willing to curb some enrichment of uranium, but not eliminate it entirely.
00:50That's still the sticking point. At the same time, the military pressure is unmistakable.
00:55The Pentagon has moved a second aircraft carrier into the region.
00:59CBS News reports President Trump has signed off on Israel targeting Iran's ballistic missile program if negotiations collapse,
01:07including potential U.S. support like aerial refueling.
01:11Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he's skeptical of any deal,
01:16even though Trump, he says, told him he's still optimistic.
01:34Netanyahu says any agreement must also dismantle Iran's nuclear program and remove enriched material from the country, conditions Tehran has
01:45historically rejected.
01:46So the posture this week is clear. Talks in Geneva, military leverage in the region, and a narrow window to
01:53see whether diplomacy holds.
