00:02President Trump says more U.S. strikes against Iran before the midterms are still possible,
00:07after rejecting Tehran's latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
00:12And Iran's Foreign Minister told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that his country
00:16is fully prepared if the fighting resumes while insisting the door to diplomacy is still open.
00:22We are fully prepared for the time for the war to be resumed. And I repeat, we stand firm
00:29in the face of any new aggression, even if it comes to a doomsday war. But at the same time,
00:35we are ready, we stand ready for diplomacy. It is up to President Trump to choose. He wanted
00:42unconditional surrender in the previous war in two days, and now it's eight months that they are
00:47fighting with no result. Over the weekend, Trump rejected Iran's latest proposal,
00:53which could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and restart talks toward a broader deal.
00:58But Arangshi says Trump's rejection had not yet been officially relayed to Tehran.
01:03He says Iran's proposal also calls for frozen Iranian assets to be released
01:08and would allow the country to resume oil exports.
