00:30Iran's reaction in the area of the border.
00:32This is a picture of the border.
00:33The border of the border is a missile breaking and shot plate on.
00:37The border of the border is 18 people.
00:39The border of the border is a place.
00:40The border is a border.
00:42IRGC has been a border with the border.
00:49But the border is a border.
00:49But now, the border is a border.
00:53The border is a border.
00:54Trump has been a very clear announcement.
00:59They're calling me skeptical at this point.
01:02Kim, I want to play for you.
01:03The president last night talking about NATO again bemoaning their refusal to send assets
01:09to hope to the straight-over moves to guarantee passageway.
01:15I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there.
01:21They just weren't there.
01:23It's going to make a lot of money for the United States because we spend hundreds of billions
01:28of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds of protecting them.
01:32And we would have always been there for them.
01:34But now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we?
01:39I mean, the president's been frustrated with NATO for a very long time, going back to his
01:43first term.
01:44But is this moment different?
01:45Because in the previous iterations of this frustration, these complaints, the U.S.
01:50wasn't fighting its own war at the time, having to focus on its own resources.
01:55I wonder, how does Putin hear that?
01:58How do others hear this new frustration?
02:00We're talking about this.
02:02There are some in the Iranian regime that are going around saying that they want to make
02:06the Strait of Hormuz tolling thing, they want to make it permanent.
02:09That's unacceptable.
02:10The whole world should be outraged by it.
02:12We're impacted by it a little bit.
02:14But the rest of the world is impacted by it a lot more, including many of the countries
02:18represented today here at the G-7.
02:20And so, if those countries are deeply impacted by it, all we've said is, you guys need to
02:25do something about it.
02:26We'll help you.
02:27But you guys are going to need to be ready to do something about it.
02:30Because when this conflict and when this operation ends, the Iranians decide, well, now we control
02:37the Strait of Hormuz and you can only go through here if you pay us and we allow you to,
02:42that's,
02:43not only is it illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable.
02:47And that can't be allowed to exist.
02:49And so, what we've said is that the countries that are most impacted by that should be willing
02:52to do something about it.
02:53And we'll help them.
02:54And that's what I said today.
02:55And I had a good reception to that message.
02:57Did you hear about that?
03:22Loser number four.
03:43Loser number four.
03:46According to this report, in three weeks, America got $2.9 billion, that is about 27,510
03:54crores of the troops.
03:58They are saying that they are saying that Iran is saying that they are saying that what
04:01you're left with now really aren't the folks that might do that.
04:04In some ways, this is kind of the irony of the Israeli strategy, because what we have
04:08seen is that the individuals that Israel has successfully assassinated since the beginning
04:12of this campaign, beginning, of course, with the former Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and then
04:17continuing with Ali Larajani, the security chief, has empowered the hardline elements of the
04:24Iranian regime, of the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
04:28And when you think about Larajani, for example, he's someone who has long been viewed as obviously
04:33someone who put down protests and did terrible things inside of his country, but also as someone
04:38who could be pragmatic in a moment like this, who could deal with the United States, who
04:42could negotiate, and now he is gone.
04:44And instead, the man who has replaced him now is someone who is viewed as much more hardline,
04:48much closer to the IRGC and very close to the new Supreme Leader, Mashtaba Khamenei, who
04:53himself is viewed as more hardline than his father.
04:55Jeremy Diamond, thanks so much.
04:58Well, back in the U.S., members of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee.
