00:00There is a stark and dangerous contradiction at the center of the Iran peace negotiations.
00:05President Trump declared on social media that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
00:10is largely negotiated and will be announced soon.
00:13Iran's official news agency responded within hours,
00:17calling Trump's statement incomplete and inconsistent with reality.
00:21Here is what the two sides actually need.
00:24The U.S. wants Iran to surrender its enriched uranium stockpile
00:28and commit to zero enrichment for 10 years.
00:31Iran wants a formal ceasefire first, then maybe nuclear talks later.
00:36Neither side is offering what the other needs.
00:38American gas prices, which briefly dropped from $5 to around $3 per gallon,
00:45face renewed upward pressure with every failed announcement.
00:48Oil traders are pricing this uncertainty daily,
00:51and American drivers are paying for it.
