00:00Thanks so much. Just to follow back up on the meeting that the president mentioned about wanting to have this meeting with the Iranians next week.
00:05Clearly, there's a willingness here from the administration to want to meet with Iranian officials.
00:10What is the holdup here in trying to schedule it? Are you experiencing any resistance from the Iranians?
00:15No, have some patience. We just had this strike on Saturday night. The president secured a ceasefire.
00:19A lot has happened in the last week. He was just in the Netherlands.
00:22Now he's back home to have a big event this afternoon on the one big beautiful bill and get our domestic priorities across the finish line.
00:28So we'll get there. And like I said, we're in constant communication.
00:31Just one more. Just on the goal of the meeting.
00:33The president mentioned yesterday that it may not be necessary to have an agreement with the Iranians.
00:39What is the purpose? What would be the goal of this meeting?
00:41Again, to continue moving forward towards a longstanding peace in the Middle East.
