00:00The president's maximum pressure and the leverage created by the success of Operation Epic Fury led to the Iranian regime
00:07asking for and ultimately agreeing to a ceasefire proposal with the United States.
00:12Iran could no longer tolerate being bombed or taking the gamble of what was to come following President Trump's 8
00:19p.m. deadline last night.
00:20The Iranians originally put forward a 10-point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded. It was literally
00:28thrown in the garbage by President Trump.
00:31Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that
00:38is false.
00:38The president's red lines, namely the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran, have not changed.
00:45What Iran says publicly or feeds to all of you in the press is much different than what they communicate
00:50to the United States, the president, and his team privately.
00:53The valiant efforts of all of our incredible service members created maximum leverage for the president of the United States,
01:00allowing he and his leadership team to engage in tough negotiations over the past couple of weeks that have now
01:07created an opening for a diplomatic solution in long-term peace in the Middle East.
01:12The president's maximum pressure and the leverage created by the success of Operation Epic Fury led to the Iranian regime
01:19asking for,
01:20and ultimately agreeing to, a ceasefire proposal with the United States.
01:25Iran could no longer tolerate being bombed or taking the gamble of what was to come following President Trump's 8
01:32p.m. deadline last night.
01:34Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz, and as the president said,
01:38we have received a proposal from the Iranians that has been determined to be a workable basis on which to
01:44negotiate.
01:44I've seen a lot of inaccurate coverage today from the media about these negotiations and these plans already.
01:50So let me be clear and correct the record.
01:53The Iranians originally put forward a 10-point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded.
02:00It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team.
02:06Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that
02:12is false.
02:13With the president's deadline fast approaching and the United States military completely decimating Iran with each passing hour,
02:19the regime acknowledged reality to the negotiating team.
02:23They put forward a more reasonable and entirely different and condensed plan to the president and his team.
02:29President Trump and the team determined the new modified plan was a workable basis on which to negotiate
02:35and to align it with our own 15-point proposal.
02:39The president's red lines, namely the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran, have not changed.
02:46And the idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd.
02:53The president will only make a deal that serves in the best interests of the United States of America,
02:57and he as a negotiating team will focus on this effort over the next two weeks,
03:02so long as the Strait of Hormuz remains open with no limitations or delays.
03:07These extraordinarily sensitive and complex negotiations will take place behind closed doors over the course of the next two weeks.
03:14I would strongly advise the media against running with narratives that have no basis in fact.
03:19What Iran says publicly or feeds to all of you in the press is much different than what they communicate
03:25to the United States,
03:26the president and his team privately.
03:28Never underestimate President Trump's ability to successfully advance America's interests and broker peace.
03:35President Trump has a proven track record of achieving good deals on behalf of the United States and the American
03:41people,
03:41and he will only accept one that puts America first.
