00:00US President Donald Trump says any deal with Iran must be, in his words, great and meaningful,
00:07warning that otherwise there will be no agreement at all.
00:11Both Iran and the United States have played down expectations of any breakthrough in talks
00:16to end their three-month conflict despite signs of limited progress.
00:21Iran says some headway has been made in negotiations but insists a deal is not imminent.
00:28Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Bagaye says talks are currently focused on ending the war rather than Iran's nuclear program.
00:36He adds that changing demands from the Americans have made negotiations more difficult.
00:42His remarks come after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an agreement could potentially be reached as early
00:49as Monday.
00:50Reports say a proposed 14-point framework includes a 60-day ceasefire extension,
00:56the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and future talks on Iran's nuclear program.
01:04Meanwhile, a Reuters report said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Close Confidants
01:09that Israel had limited influence over decisions made by US President Donald Trump on Iran.
01:15Sources said Netanyahu made the remarks during private discussions
01:18as Washington continued negotiations with Iran on a possible agreement to halt the conflict.
01:24The report said Israel had remained largely excluded from the discussions aimed at securing a deal between the U.S.
01:31and Iran.
01:32Netanyahu has insisted that Israel must retain the right to continue military operations
01:37against perceived threats, including activities in southern Lebanon.
01:41The condition could complicate negotiations if Iran demands a complete halt
01:46to Israeli military operations in Lebanon as part of any future agreement.
01:50Amen.
