00:20A fragile opening in the middle of war.
00:24The United States and Iran now reportedly in talks.
00:30A possible deal, ceasefire, in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
00:37According to reports, the deal is simple but high stakes.
00:42Iran reopens Hormuz, the world's most critical oil route.
00:48In return, the U.S. halts military operations, a trade-off between war and global stability.
00:57Donald Trump has made his position clear.
01:02No reopening of Hormuz.
01:05No ceasefire.
01:06Calling for the route to be open, free and clear before any deal is even considered.
01:14But alongside talks, the threats remain.
01:18Trump warns, if no deal is reached, the U.S. could strike Iran's power plants and critical infrastructure.
01:27A mix of diplomacy and pressure.
01:31We will continue until our objectives are fully achieved.
01:35Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's
01:42military objectives shortly.
01:44Very shortly.
01:45We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
01:49We're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong.
01:55In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.
01:58Regime change was not our goal.
02:00We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' death.
02:09They're all dead.
02:10The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.
02:15Yet, if during this period of time no deal is made, we have our eyes on key targets.
02:20If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very
02:26hard and probably simultaneously.
02:28We have not hit their oil, even though that's the easiest target of all, because it would not give them
02:35even a small chance of survival or rebuilding.
02:40Behind the scenes, multiple players are involved.
02:44Saudi Arabia in direct contact with Washington.
02:49China and Pakistan offering mediation proposals.
02:53U.S. officials quietly passing messages through intermediaries.
03:00Tehran, however, remains skeptical.
03:04Iran's foreign ministry has dismissed U.S. claims as false, saying trust between the two sides is effectively zero.
03:15And on the ground, the fighting continues.
03:18Missiles still flying, targets still being hit.
03:23Even as talks are discussed, the war shows no pause.
03:29Trump says he could walk away from the war within weeks, even without a formal deal, if he believes Iran's
03:38nuclear capability has been neutralized.
03:41A deal is possible, but far from guaranteed.
03:46Demands on both sides, pressure building, and a narrow window for diplomacy to succeed.
03:55A war at a crossroads, between escalation and negotiation.
04:00Because if this deal fails, the next phase could be far more dangerous.
