00:00U.S. President Donald Trump insists negotiations to end the war with Iran are ongoing,
00:06even after Tehran had repeatedly rejected his claims and dismissed a 15-point proposal
00:12outlining U.S. demands, countering it with a list of their own demands.
00:17Trump had earlier warned Iran of significant escalations in intensity if it fails to enter
00:22a deal with the U.S., as he reiterated Washington's ability to prolong the fighting until its goals
00:28are achieved. Speaking at a fundraising dinner for his Republican Party, Trump said Iran's
00:34denial of ongoing talks is out of fear of being killed by their own people.
00:39We're winning so big, nobody's ever seen anything like we're doing in the Middle East with Iran.
00:45And they are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to
00:49say it
00:50because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us.
01:01Meanwhile, U.S. attacks have continued to strike targets across Iran, including in Isfahan,
01:08home to military bases and the infamous nuclear site, where residents reported major explosions.
01:15Israeli attacks are also continuing in Lebanon, where the IDF says it's continuing to dismantle
01:21networks of Iran's proxy, Hezbollah.
01:24We're seeing this security system in order to reflect the threat of our troops and our border.
01:34We simply create a bigger area of space.
01:37Now, the point of the Hezbollah's point is standing against us.
01:42This thing is also related to the administration, including Iran, which is still in peace,
01:46in terms of what is still in relation to it.
01:49Meanwhile, Iran is continuing to fire its retaliatory barrages at Israel and neighboring Gulf Arab states
01:56hosting U.S. bases.
01:57The death tolls across the various fronts have now risen to over 1,500 in Iran, 1,100 in Lebanon,
02:0520 in Israel, and 13 U.S. troops.
