00:00Yes, so I saw some reporting, again bad reporting this morning, that we had formally requested an extension of the
00:06ceasefire.
00:06That is not true at this moment.
00:08We remain very much engaged in these negotiations, in these talks.
00:13You heard from the vice president directly and the president this week that these conversations are productive and ongoing, and
00:19that's where we are right now.
00:20I've also seen some reporting about the potentiality for in-person discussions.
00:24Again, those discussions are being had, but nothing is official until you hear it from us here at the White
00:29House.
00:30But we feel good about the prospects of a deal.
00:32The president mentioned that in his interview yesterday, and it's obviously in the best interest of Iran to meet the
00:38president's demands.
00:39I think he's made his red lines in these negotiations very clear to the other side, and so we are
00:45continuing to see how these conversations go.
