00:01The latest news out of Iran is that the air defenses have been activated in several cities,
00:06including Isfahan, and that explosions have been hurt in Isfahan. Who is bombing Iran right now?
00:11MS. Were those reports just as of a few minutes ago?
00:14Yeah.
00:15MS. Okay. So, obviously, I'll have to go back and check with the national security team. I'm
00:19standing out here with all of you. But I will do that, and we will get you an answer, okay?
00:22And just on the civilization question that we've been talking about.
00:25MS. And I would just add to that point, again, I haven't seen these reports.
00:29I'm not verifying them. Not that I don't trust you, Trevor, but I want to go back and check with
00:33the
00:33experts here at the White House. I would just say, and I would echo what the Vice President said this
00:37morning, this is a fragile truce. Ceasefires are fragile by nature. We've seen this with respect
00:42to the 12-day war with Iran and Israel last year. It takes time sometimes for these ceasefires to
00:47be fully effectuated. And one of the results of Operation Epic Fury was we completely dismantled
00:53Iran's command and control center, which makes it difficult for them to pass messages up and
00:58down the chain. And so we understand that. I would caution a little bit of patience,
01:03but of course we want to see the ceasefire effectuated and abided by by all parties as
01:08quickly as possible.
01:09The Press. Thank you. And the American presidential
01:11administrations, going back to Ronald Reagan, have said this formulation about nuclear war,
01:16that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. Is that still the view of this
01:20administration, given the President's comments about civilization?
01:23I have no change in our view on that policy.
