00:23U.S. President Donald Trump says Tehran's reckless strikes were not anticipated by Washington.
00:30I heard they were sending missiles to UAE. I said, that's strange. You know, UAE is like the banker for
00:36Iran.

01:34to secure the vital Strait of Hormuz and stabilize a global energy price crisis.

01:54who have so far been reluctant to commit to his proposal.

02:00Thank you so much.
