00:02This morning, new military action is adding fresh strain to efforts to end the fighting
00:07between the United States and Iran. On state TV, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard says
00:12it shot down a U.S. drone overnight and fired on other aircraft, it said,
00:17entered Iranian airspace. Iran's supreme leader also warned that countries across the region will
00:23no longer serve as shields for U.S. bases. U.S. officials say American forces carried out what
00:30they called self-defense strikes, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats, they said,
00:36were trying to place mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The military action comes while negotiations
00:41between Washington and Tehran continue. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday night there will
00:48not be a deal without a full reopening of the strait. Well, the straits have to be open.
00:52They're going to be open one way or the other. So they need to be open. What's happening there
00:56isn't lawful, it's illegal, it's unsustainable to the world, it's unacceptable.
01:00I don't know of any country in the world that does.
01:03Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed that 32 vessels, including oil tankers,
01:08moved through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours. And reports from Qatar media say
01:13at least one Iranian official has discussed reopening the strait in phases.
