00:04Hi Caroline, West Blockade is still in place.
00:08Great questions and I will answer them.
00:09Let's level set on where we are.
00:11As you all saw yesterday, President Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire.
00:15He's maintaining and generously offering a bit of flexibility to a regime who has been completely tarnished because of Operation
00:23Epic Fury.
00:24There's obviously a lot of internal division.
00:26This is a battle between the pragmatists and the hardliners in Iran right now and the President wants a unified
00:32response.
00:33And so as we await that response, there's a ceasefire with the military and kinetic strikes.
00:38But Operation Economic Fury continues and the effective and successful naval blockade continues as well.
00:46Of ships and vessels that are moving to and from Iranian ports, we are completely strangling their economy through this
00:54blockade.
00:54They're losing $500 million a day.
00:57The Karg Island is completely full.
00:59They can't move oil in and out.
01:00They can't even pay their own people as a result of this economic leverage that President Trump has inflicted over
01:06them.
01:06So he's satisfied with that as we await their response.
01:09And we will see.
01:10The President has not set a firm deadline to receive an Iranian proposal unlike some of the reporting I've seen
01:16today.
01:16Ultimately, the timeline will be dictated by the Commander-in-Chief and the President of the United States.
01:22Look, again, I'm not going to set a timetable for the President.
01:26He has not done that and I won't.
01:28I know there's been some anonymous sourced reporting that there was maybe a three to five day deadline.
01:34That is not true.
01:35The President has not set a deadline himself.
01:37Ultimately, he will dictate the timetable.
01:39And again, he is satisfied with the naval blockade and he understands that Iran is in a very weak position
01:46and the cards are in President Trump's hands right now.
01:49The President has not set a deadline for the President of the United States.
