00:00What the president set out to do was decimate the Iranian military,
00:04decimate their ability to wage conventional war.
00:07And that military objective, as the president said yesterday, as I said yesterday, has been achieved.
00:12What the president did is he basically issued an ultimatum to the Iranians.
00:15He said, open up the straits, stop trying to hold the world's economy hostage,
00:19and we'll engage in a ceasefire.
00:22And that's exactly the agreement that we came to last night.
00:25This is a fragile truce.
00:26You have people who clearly want to come to the negotiating table and work with us to find a good
00:30deal.
00:31And then you have people who are lying about even the fragile truce that we've already struck.
00:36If the Iranians are willing, in good faith, to work with us, I think we can make an agreement.
00:41If they're going to lie, if they're going to cheat, if they're going to try to prevent even the fragile
00:48truce
00:49that we've set up from taking place, then they're not going to be happy.
00:52They're going to find out that the president of the United States is not one to mess around.
