Transcript

00:00First of all—

00:01Can you tell me, sir?

00:03Alan Fisher from Al Jazeera English.

00:04Very good.

00:05How do you do?

00:06Fine.

00:08The U.S. intelligence assessment on March 26 was that Iran was not working towards a

00:12nuclear bomb.

00:13What's changed?

00:14The U.S. position seems to be that it was very close.

00:17Well, again, I can't speak to intelligence assessments, what may or may not have changed,

00:24or to the fact that it is President Trump and his team who are seeing things that matter

00:30when it comes to the decision-making.

00:33And I think that that's what's happened here.

00:35Second question is, if the president in his first term was willing to give the Taliban

00:4018 months to come up with a deal, why was there only 60 days given to the Iranians to discuss

00:44something which is much more complicated?

00:46Again, I'm not going to discuss the details of the decisions made by the president.

00:51Andrea?
