00:00Sir, could you first see a deal in Iran this upcoming week?
00:02I do see a deal in Iran, yeah.
00:05Mr. President...
00:05Could be soon.
00:18Sir, could you first see a deal in Iran this upcoming week?
00:21I do see a deal in Iran, yeah.
00:23Mr. President...
00:24Could be soon.
00:25A deal, or destruction.
00:26That's the message from Donald Trump, as the U.S. signals possible movement toward a ceasefire with Iran.
00:34But even as talks progress, the warning is unmistakable.
00:38Agree, or face total devastation.
00:42From oil wells, to power plants, to critical infrastructure, the stakes have never been higher.
00:48Trump, in his Truth Social post, claimed the U.S. is in serious discussions
00:53with what he called a new, more reasonable Iranian side.
00:58He says progress has been made, and a deal could come soon.
01:02Even suggesting Tehran has already responded to most of Washington's demands.
01:08Sir, could you first see a deal in Iran this upcoming week?
01:11I do see a deal in Iran, yeah.
01:13Mr. President...
01:14Could be soon.
01:15You hit off of that 15-point plan to Iran.
01:18Did they ever come back...
01:19Yeah, they came back on the 15-point plan.
01:21They gave us most of the points.
01:24Why wouldn't they?
01:25If you make it sound like they've made some concessions, can you identify those?
01:30Well, they're agreeing with us on the plan.
01:32I mean, we asked for 15 things, and for the most part, we're going to be asking for a couple
01:36of other things.
01:38And just to prove that they're serious, they gave us all these votes.
01:41When I talked about four days ago, a present, I said they gave me a present, but I didn't think
01:46I was at liberty to say what it was.
01:48What it was was eight plus two.
01:51It's ten massive boatloads of oil.
01:54And today they gave us another present.
01:56They gave us 20 boatloads of oil.
01:58That starts being shipped tomorrow.
02:00We're having very good meetings, both directly and indirectly, and I think we're getting a lot of very important points.
02:05But then came the if.
02:08If a deal is not reached.
02:10If the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, Trump says the U.S. will respond with overwhelming force.
02:18Electric plants destroyed.
02:20Oil wells wiped out.
02:22Key infrastructure targeted.
02:24A threat of escalation on a massive scale.
02:28At the center of it all, the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil routes.
02:34Disruptions here have already shaken global markets.
02:37For Washington, reopening the Strait is non-negotiable, and it may be the key condition for any ceasefire deal.
02:45Behind the scenes, diplomacy is accelerating.
02:49Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt now stepping in, calling for an immediate ceasefire.
02:56Warning of deeper instability if the war continues.
02:59Pakistan, in particular, emerging as a key mediator, a possible venue for talks between Washington and Iran.
03:07Iran, but the path forward remains uncertain.
03:11Publicly, Iran denies direct negotiations.
03:14Privately, messages are being exchanged.
03:17Both sides testing limits.
03:19Both sides holding ground.
03:21A fragile moment balanced between deal and disaster.
03:25A possible breakthrough.
03:27A looming threat.
03:28And one critical if that could decide the next phase of this war.
03:33Deal or escalation.
03:35The clock is ticking.
