00:00President Trump revealing to Fox News he believes the war with Iran is close to ending.
00:05Our chief foreign correspondent Trey Yinks joins us live from Tel Aviv with the latest.
00:09Hey Trey.
00:11What they saying?
00:12War is ending right now?
00:14No way.
00:15Morning.
00:15President Trump laying out the latest timeline for the war with Iran in an interview with
00:19Fox News.
00:20He says he believes the conflict is close to finish but the mission not yet complete.
00:25We do know according to reports the conflict is over.
00:28Sir?
00:29What are they saying?
00:30President Trump says Iran conflict close to over.
00:33Yeah.
00:34Direct talks between the US and Iran could take place as early as tomorrow as the president
00:38laid out why this operation began.
00:41Okay.
00:42Okay.
00:42I had to divert because if I didn't do that right now you would have Iran with a nuclear
00:47weapon and if they had a nuclear weapon you would be calling everybody over there sir.
00:52No way.
00:53No.
00:54We are not calling them sir.
00:55They do not probably have a nuclear weapon.
00:58We have to stop them making that possible.
01:01You don't want to do that.
01:02Well you keep saying was.
01:03Is this war over?
01:05I think it's close to over.
01:06Yeah.
01:06I mean I view it as very close to over.
01:09You know what?
01:09Well if I pulled up stakes right now it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country.
01:16Okay.
01:17And we are not finished.
01:19The president's comments come as US central command continues to block Iranian ports with
01:24more than a dozen support vessels.
01:25This is what is happening.
01:27Now, right now, US blockade on Iranian ports in effect.
01:31Yes, everything is on US blockade.
01:43I mean it is.
01:45It is.
01:4690%
01:47of Iran's economy is fueled by international trade by sea.
01:50In less than 36 hours, since the blockade was implemented, US forces have completely halted
01:55economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea.
01:58Yes, this is 19% of economic things that come and go is from the sea.
02:05And it is blocked by US forces right now.
02:08The Iranians are now responding to the blockade with the IRGC threatening to target any US ships
02:13in the area.
02:13Iranian president Masood Pazeshkian taking a slightly different tone.
02:17This is.
02:18This is right now.
02:19CENTCOM said 10,000 plus troops deployed to enforce blockade.
02:25Listen.
02:26There is now a problem in the Persian Gulf and the world has been thrown into turmoil.
02:32This has had an impact across the world.
02:34People are dissatisfied and have raised their voices.
02:37But we ourselves are in the midst of this turmoil.
02:40And despite all these pressures, our work is progressing properly.
02:45He was the Iran's president.
02:48Okay.
02:48Iranian officials really starting to feel this pressure from the Trump administration.
02:52President Trump in that interview last night on Fox being very clear.
02:56Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
02:58This is what we all wanted.
03:00They would never have a nuclear weapon, right?
03:03They would never.
03:05Tunic Israel.

03:12This one was a natural, right?
03:12It is in Egypt if you only had the situation, right?
03:13Yeah, absolutely.
03:14Sources telling Fox news these were historic talks that took place yesterday, facilitated by
03:19US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
03:21Direct talks between Israel and Lebanon with two key goals that both sides at this point appear
03:26to agree on one is disarming hezbollah yes this is this is what we all wanted this arm the hezbollah
03:33hezbollah is the proxy of iran and doing so much destruction all over the world largest proxy in
03:40the middle east that still has more than 10 000 rockets and missiles and the second is developing
03:45peaceful relations between israel and lebanon i'm told by officials here they see this progress as
03:50so significant that it ultimately could lead to a normalization deal between israel and their
03:55neighbor to the north guys all right yes this is what happening thanks man so much you would think
04:00if you're getting attacked you would just give up your enriched uranium what's more important having
