00:00Go ahead, please.
00:01The Press, your messaging on the war has moved from
00:04the war is coming to an end to we're going to be
00:07bombing Iran to the Stone Ages.
00:09And we've heard a range of those kind of messages.
00:12So are you — so which is it?
00:13Are you winding this down or are you escalating it?
00:16The President, I can't tell you.
00:16I don't know.
00:17I can't tell — it depends what they do.
00:19This is a critical period.
00:20They have a period of, well, till tomorrow at 8 o'clock.
00:25I gave them an extension.
00:27They asked for an extension of seven days, right?
00:29I said, Steve, give them 10 days.
00:3410 days is up, actually, today.
00:37So I gave them 11, I guess, indirectly.
00:39I thought it was inappropriate the day after Easter.
00:41I want to be a nice person.
00:45They have till tomorrow.
00:46Now, we'll see what happens.
00:48I can tell you they're negotiating, we think, in
00:51good faith.
00:52But we're giving them — we're giving them till
00:55tomorrow, 8 o'clock Eastern Time.
00:58And after that, they're going to have no bridges.
01:01They're going to have no power plants.
01:05It's Stone Ages, yeah.
01:07Stone Ages.
01:09Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the
01:12Geneva kind of conventions and international law.
01:15Who are you with?
01:15Who are you with?
01:15I'm with The New York Times.
01:16Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power
01:19plants and bridges amount to war crimes?
01:21No, no, no.
01:21No, I'm not.
01:22I hope I don't have to do it.
01:24But, again, I just said 47 years they've been
01:27negotiating with these people.
01:29They're great negotiators.
01:30And because they're not going to have a nuclear
01:33weapon.
01:34I don't like getting mixed up I feel the
01:34baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby.
