00:00All right, but let's start with our Chief Foreign Correspondent, Trey Yigst.
00:03He's got the latest.
00:04He's in Tel Aviv for us.
00:06Good afternoon, Trey.
00:06Afternoon, Trey.
00:08Yeah, John.
00:09Good afternoon.
00:09Amid questions about if an Iranian delegation will arrive in Pakistan this week for direct
00:14talks with the United States, we're getting a new statement from Iranian President Masood
00:19Pazeshkian, who said on X, honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue.
00:24Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward USGov conduct remains.
00:28But, but, but new IRGC leader has lengthy history of atrocities.
00:36Yes.
00:37Unconstructive and contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message.
00:41They seek Iran's surrender.
00:43Iranians do not submit to force.
00:45No.
00:45I spoke with President Trump over the weekend who told me if the deal isn't done, the deal
00:49that we made, that I'm going to take out their bridges and their power plants.
00:53This is what Donald Trump President said to Trey Yigst, okay.
00:56Not to say, if they don't sign this thing, the whole country is going to get blown up.
01:01Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson held a press conference this morning.
01:04This is Tehran Iran, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held a press conference, indicating that Iran
01:10has not agreed to attend the talks in Islamabad yet, and is currently reviewing US proposals.
01:15Listen.
01:18We witnessed that the United States insisted on bad faith and violation of the ceasefire.
01:24All of this is evidence that the United States apparently does not show seriousness.
01:28Oh, damn.
01:29No seriousness.
01:30Okay.
01:30The diplomatic process.
01:33The remarks come as international focus remains on the Strait of Hormuz overnight.
01:37Central command said US forces seized an Iranian flag cargo ship.
01:41Oh, Iranian flag cargo ship.
01:43We have seized that.
01:45...tried to breach the naval blockade.
01:46Oh, damn.
01:47President Trump announced the seizure on True Social saying, in part, quote, the Iranian
01:50crew refused to listen, so our Navy ships stopped them right in their tracks by blowing
01:55a hole in the engine room.
01:56Right now, US Marines have custody of the vessel.
01:59Blowing a hole in the engine room.
02:01That's a big blow.
02:02We understand the ship remains in US custody at this hour.
02:05Yes.
02:06The ship, that Iranian ship, is in the US custody right now.
02:10At least two dozen other vessels were turned around over the weekend, complying with US
02:14orders.
02:14The incident came 24 hours after Iran's IRGC fired on two vessels, trying to pass through
02:20the Strait of Hormuz, in violation of the ceasefire.
02:23Now, John, here in Israel, it is currently Yomazi Karon, which is the memorial day for the
02:28Israeli people.
02:29Remember, since October...
02:30US see this Iranian ship ignoring blockade orders.
02:34...seventh, nearly a thousand Israeli soldiers were killed in terrorist attacks or in combat.
02:39So, for the next several hours, the Israeli people are marking this somber moment before
02:44Independence Day here in Israel.
02:46John.
02:47All right, we'll see what happens with peace talks.
02:49If they...
02:49All right, all right.
02:50This is the best thing.
