00:00President Trump has previously said his administration was entering talks with Iran.

00:05He's now rolled back on that statement.

00:08So will he or won't he enter negotiations?

00:12It does seem unclear at this stage.

00:14Well, what we do know is that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel was negotiated successfully

00:21by the United States, by the Trump administration.

00:25And so certainly there was that amount of talk.

00:28Now, the question of what's next for the Iranian regime, the U.S. did have intermediaries.

00:36We know that Oman was involved in those talks originally.

00:40And so let's hope that the Iranian regime makes smart decisions.

00:45Leanne, I've always said from the beginning of when the Trump administration came back into office

00:50that the threat to the Iranians was whether they would read the room right

00:54and understand that President Donald Trump is not Barack Obama, he's not Joe Biden.

00:59And so every time Donald Trump has given them, the Iranian regime, the opportunity to negotiate in earnest,

01:07to come and join the international order, as President Trump suggested that they do in a recent post on Truth Social,

01:15every time that President Trump has given them the opportunity, we haven't seen them really understand

01:22that the opportunity is an important one for them to take.

01:26So the question really stands of whether the Iranian regime is ready to reform their behavior

01:32so that they'll behave like a normal nation state.

01:35Let us say thank you.
