00:00A new demand from the U.S. for Iran.
00:02The White House demanding that Iran make a public statement
00:05that the Strait of Hormuz is open and ships can safely navigate.
00:09This follows dozens of American airstrikes on Iranian targets in recent days.
00:14Mike Tobin has the latest.
00:16That's what's happening.
00:17The White House has demanded a public statement on the Strait of Hormuz.
00:23The U.S. hit roughly 170 targets in Iran this week,
00:27including rail bridges the U.S. says were used to transport weapons.
00:32China, the coming weapons from Russia and China from the bridges they destroyed.
00:36U.S. destroyed those bridges.
00:38Plus 170 targets.
00:42As U.S. strikes finished, another round attacks southern Iran.
00:46The source of that attack remains a mystery.
00:48The U.S. says American forces didn't do it.
00:51Damn, U.S. said American forces did not do it.
00:54Who is attacking Iran then?
00:56American forces pointed suspicion at the United Arab Emirates.
01:00It happened after Iran once again fired missiles at its neighbors.
01:04I think the Gulf states have been launching counter strikes.
01:08They're doing it a little under the radar.
01:11I mean literally and figuratively.
01:13But they have responded.
01:15And it's not something that they want to draw attention to.
01:18Damn.
01:19On Friday, Qatari negotiators supported by the U.S. arrived in Iran with the goal...
01:23Qatari negotiators, U.S. and Iran negotiations with Qatar is happening, okay?
01:29A de-escalation and a return to talks.
01:32President Trump posted that Iran requested more talks.
01:35But the United States has stated to them in no uncertain terms that the ceasefire is over.
01:41I suspect the Qataris are trying to create a temporary ceasefire.
01:44But the chance of a long-term change in this regime...
01:46This video is from the Ayatollah Khamanis.
01:50Yes, the Maud, the funeral, you see?
01:54Seems like a zero probability event to me.
01:57The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization labels the threat for crossing the Strait of Hormuz severe.
02:02The U.S. threat?
02:03Oh, my God.
02:04U.S. Navy doing something.
02:06Central Command of QCL video.
02:08Central Command sent a message that the only route the U.S. can protect is the southern route.
02:13The one designated by Oman.
02:15Oman.
02:15Iran wants ships to travel its route.
02:17Let me tell you.
02:18This is Saudi.
02:19And this is Oman.
02:21This small is Oman.
02:23And then again here is Oman.
02:24And this is Iman.
02:25This is Saudi.
02:26The northern one.
02:28The three tankers Iran attacked this week traveled the Omani route.
02:31We don't want Iran to successfully exercise that control.
02:36It's a high risk for those ships.
02:38You never know when Iran is going to take one out.
02:41And the U.S. State Department today announced sanctions against three currency exchange houses.
02:44The U.S. says gave Iran access to foreign money as well as...
02:48Damn, buddy.
02:49What are they doing?
02:50Really?
02:51...Iranian living in Dubai who had a real estate network.
02:54The U.S. says he held for the regime.
02:56Oh, my God.
