00:00The fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran was still holding as of Thursday night,
00:04but President Trump seems to be running low on patience for the Islamic regime
00:08to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions. There are more than 800
00:12commercial ships trapped in the Persian Gulf right now, according to one ship tracking company.
00:17Another says 300 to 400 ships have been reportedly approved for passage, quote,
00:23under Iranian military coordination, but only 10 or 15 crept through on Wednesday. As for Thursday,
00:29that number is unclear. Trying to get through is a dangerous roll of the dice. The Islamic
00:35Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened to destroy vessels trying to exit without permission.
00:40President Trump warned in a Truth Social post that if a final agreement was not reached and
00:44complied with, quote, then the shooting starts bigger and better and stronger than anyone has
00:48ever seen before. Peace talks between U.S. and Iranian officials are slated to begin tomorrow in
00:53Pakistan, though Iran is reportedly not happy that Israel's attacks on Lebanon have continued
00:59and have threatened to boycott the talks over the issue. Pakistani officials acting as mediators
01:04assured Iran the United States would control Israel. That seemed to be the case on Thursday,
01:10as President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be, quote,
01:13more low-key in Lebanon.
