00:00President Trump says that Iran is begging to end the war, but he's not ready to make a deal.
00:05The president told NBC News the terms of a peace deal aren't good enough and said any agreement
00:10would have to include Iran completely abandoning any nuclear aspirations, the very thing Iran was
00:16refusing to do from the get-go. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Aragchi, is singing a very
00:22different tune. Here he is on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday. No, we never asked for a ceasefire
00:27and we have never asked even for negotiation. We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes
00:35and this is what we have done so far and we continue to do that until President Trump comes
00:43to the point that this is an illegal war with no victory and, you know, there are, you know,
00:57people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun. In a separate interview on MSNOW,
01:07the foreign minister bragged about help his country is getting from Russia and China.
01:12Well, Russia and China are our strategic partners and we have had close cooperation in the past,
01:20which is still continuous. And that includes military cooperation as well.
01:25The president's lead negotiator, Steve Witkoff, said last week that Russia promised President Trump they
01:30were not providing Iran with intelligence, like, say, about the positioning of U.S. assets to help them
01:36range their missiles. So take that for what it's worth. And Aragchi's comments will, of course,
01:40bring that claim into question again. Meanwhile, Israel says it's expanding its attacks on Iran's
01:45terror infrastructure. The Israeli Defense Force said their military went after targets in western
01:50and central Iran on Sunday. In a post on X, the IDF says they hit several command centers
01:55of the Revolutionary Guard and its volunteer militia units. The statement went on to say,
02:00quote, these command centers served as the regime's elements for managing ongoing activities,
02:05as well as for planning and advancing terror operations against the state of Israel
02:09Israel and other countries in the Middle East.
