00:00We don't really know, you might speak to it, we don't know, there could be a few of them out
00:04there, but that's a lot.
00:07Kevin Washington's the most beautiful building.
00:10Red Cross and Vescoers, refining water sources and residential.
00:15More than 600 schools have been demolished or damaged.
00:21That we have, along with your foreign policy team, presented a 15-point action list that forms the framework for
00:30a peace deal.
00:31This has been circulated through the Pakistani government, acting as the mediator.
00:38And this has resulted in strong and positive messaging and talks, as you just indicated to the press.
00:45I can say this, we will see where things lead and if we can convince Iran that this is the
00:52inflection point with no good alternatives for them, other than more death and destruction.
00:59We have strong signs that this is a possibility and if a deal happens, it will be great for the
01:06country of Iran, for the entire region and the world at large.
01:10Iran is looking for an off-ramp following your powerful threat on Saturday.
01:17Your indications that you are willing to listen to peace proposals have been well received.
01:23You have instructed us that your preference is always peace and that we should make that our priority.
01:30We have delivered that message, sir, along with the 15 points for peace.
01:36Finally, we have told Iran one last thing.
01:40Don't miscalculate again.
01:43Mr. President, do you have a new deadline, given that there are some talks now?
01:46Do you have a new deadline before taking?
01:48No, I'll announce it.
01:50I mean, right now, you're talking about a deadline for doing some pretty big damage, even bigger than we've done.
01:57Well, we'll see.
01:58Look, we have very substantial talks going on with respect to Iran, with the right people.
02:06You know, I told you about a present, right?
02:09Steve, can I reveal the present?
02:12You can do anything you want.
02:16They said, to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're going to let you
02:25have eight boats of oil.
02:26Eight boats, eight big boats of oil.
02:29This was two days ago.
02:31And they'll sail up tomorrow.
02:33That was three days ago.
02:36And I didn't think much about it.
02:38And then I watched the news and they said, something's unusual happening.
02:43There are eight boats that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz Strait.
02:50Eight big tankers are going loaded up with oil right through.
02:54And I said, well, I guess they were right.
02:57And they were real.
02:59And I think they were Pakistani flagged.
03:03And I said, well, I guess we're dealing with the right people.
03:06And actually, they then apologized for something they said.
03:10And they said, we're going to send two more boats.
03:13And it ended up being ten boats.
03:15I hope I haven't screwed up your negotiations.
03:17But I thought it was appropriate to say because I did taunt you the other day by saying they're going
03:23to give us a present.
03:28This war of aggression is blatantly unjustified and brutal.
03:32They initiated this aggression on 28 February, while Iran and the United States were engaged in a diplomatic process to
03:42resolve Americans' alleged concerns over Iran's nuclear program.
03:47They betrayed diplomacy for a second time in the course of nine months by torpedoing the negotiating table.
03:55Among the most harrowing manifestations of this aggression was the calculated phased assault on Shajar al-Tayeb elementary school in
04:06the city of Minab, south of Iran,
04:08where more than 175 students and teachers were slaughtered in cold blood.
04:16Iran has never sought war.
04:18Iranians are a peaceful, noble nation inheriting one of the richest civilizations on earth.
04:24Yet, they have demonstrated an absolute resolve and determination to defend themselves against the brutal aggressors
04:31who know no boundary in perpetrating all sorts of crimes.
04:36A defense that shall persist as long as needed.
