00:03Panic as a trip to enjoy Iran's Nature Day holiday turns violent.
00:08Further away, in Eyewitness Films what's just happened, a strike has sent smoke pouring
00:13from a bridge under construction west of the capital Tehran.
00:17On social media, US President Donald Trump threatens there may be more to come if Iran
00:22doesn't make a deal to end a month-long war that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iranian
00:27targets.
00:28But polling shows two-thirds of people in the US want out of Iran quickly, not an escalation.
00:34In New York, some visitors from states that helped elect Trump are unimpressed at an address
00:39Trump made Thursday.
00:41I thought it was a rambling mess, and he continues to get us deeper and deeper into trouble with
00:47all of our allies and all of the world, and I just don't know where it's going to go.
00:52Now, all he did was sort of recap everything is done, and a lot of lies thrown in there,
01:00I think.
01:02New York, home to the UN, is also a center of efforts to end some of the deep pain this
01:07war has brought the rest of the world.
01:10Iran's control of the critical Strait of Hormuz severely limits oil and gas shipments vital
01:15to livelihoods and economies far away from the fighting.
01:18Gulf Kingdom Bahrain wants the Security Council to authorize protection of shipping through
01:23the Strait by, quote, any defensive means necessary.
01:27Veto holder China, though, has other ideas, championing its own five-point peace plan.
01:44A lack of consensus at the UN doesn't mean diplomacy isn't going anywhere.
01:48Countries like the Philippines have persuaded Iran to let their ships through.
01:52And Britain's foreign minister says there's a concentrated international effort to get the
01:57strait totally reopened.
02:00Well, we had over 40 countries from every continent come together in support of the
02:05reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and also the crucial principle of freedom of navigation.
02:14How fast this happens is as uncertain as how long the war itself will go on.
02:19Trump says perhaps two to three weeks, but continued strikes like these show the end isn't here yet.
