00:00With just hours left in the original agreement and no peace talks on the books,
00:04President Trump extended the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. His Tuesday afternoon Truth Social post read in
00:09part, quote, we have been asked to hold our attack on the country of Iran until such time as their
00:14leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. And he added that the U.S.
00:19naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would remain in effect. So now what? It continues to
00:25be a challenge to sort through what's fact and what's posturing or gamesmanship when it comes
00:30to this conflict and the negotiations to end it. But here's something we do know.
00:35President Trump urged Iran to release eight women that the regime is allegedly set to execute as a
00:41gesture of goodwill toward a peace deal. The mere threat of the executions prompted calls for any
00:46future deal to include humanitarian guarantees. I asked The Post's reporter Georgia Worrell about it.
00:52This tells you absolutely everything you need to know about the current barbarian nature of this
01:00Islamic regime. It's planning to execute these eight women by publicly hanging them, all because
01:07they participated in a series of nationwide protests against the government back in January.
01:14I spoke to an expert who told me exactly what Trump needs to do in this moment when it comes
01:20to
01:20negotiations with Iran. And it really starts with demanding those basic rights for Iranian citizens,
01:28basic human rights. Kian Tajbach, who's a Middle Eastern geopolitical scholar, as well as an
01:37international relations professor at NYU, said that restoring some of these things that have been
01:44stripped from Iranian citizens, including their access to internet, their freedom of speech and freedom of
01:52assembly, are essential demands that President Trump must make in any deal negotiations, as well as
02:03cracking down on these executions and keeping political prisoners. This is essential for Iranian citizens'
02:12faith in President Trump and the U.S., as well as that of Americans.
