00:00Fox News senior correspondent Jackie Heinrich just spoke with President Trump on the phone.
00:06And Jackie, what did you learn?
00:08Well, I asked the president how he's feeling about these negotiations with that deadline just four hours away.
00:13And he said, I really can't tell you how we're feeling right now because we're in the middle of heated
00:17negotiations.
00:19So yes, guys, you all know about this situation very well.
00:23Trump gave an ultimatum until 8 p.m. Eastern time to Iran for do the negotiations or otherwise face the
00:32consequences.
00:33I said, so the conversation is happening then.
00:36He said, yes, of course.
00:37Why wouldn't they be talking given the circumstances?
00:40Basically, I asked him his view on this request from Pakistan's prime minister for a two week deadline.
00:45He said that he was about to be fully briefed on it in about five minutes and said, I can
00:50tell you this,
00:51that this man, the prime minister, I know him very well.
00:55He's a highly respected man all over.
00:58This is what the prime minister had asked in that post that you referenced earlier.
01:02Okay, so, okay, understand.
01:04Listen to this thing.
01:05This is what this all is based on, okay?
01:09Efforts for a peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily,
01:12strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in the near future.
01:17To allow diplomacy to run its course,
01:19I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks.
01:23Pakistan, in all sincerity, request the Iranian brothers to open the Strait of Hormuz
01:26for a corresponding period of time as a goodwill gesture.
01:30Now, as Caroline Levitt said, the president has been made aware of this.
01:34This is all happening.
01:35This happened Monday with an unclassified document.
01:38And the White House will be sending its response.
01:40But, of course, the deadline is just a few hours away.
01:43We are also aware of a call he had with another outlet where he commented on what Iran has been
01:49doing in the interim, instructing civilians, women, children to...
01:54Yes, this is what Iran is doing, okay?
01:56...and up in human chains outside of those power plants that would be targeted
02:01if all hell breaks loose tonight.
02:03He called that totally illegal.
02:06Well...
02:06Okay.
02:07Thank you for that update, Jack.
02:08Be sure to...
02:09This is what it is, okay?
