CRUDE AWAKENING—Pending Iran Deal Could bring Lasting Peace to The Mid East · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: It is news that the President has been talking about
0:03
Speaker 1: and telegraphing for quite some time. So here it is
0:07
Speaker 1: President Trump. The deal is scheduled to get signed. That
0:11
Speaker 1: is the headline President Trump announcing over the weekend at
0:15
Speaker 1: a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has
0:18
Speaker 1: effectively been completed and now is awaiting formal signatures. In
0:23
Speaker 1: a true social post, President Trump said the deal is
0:27
Speaker 1: scheduled to get signed tomorrow and immediately after it is signed,
0:30
Speaker 1: the Hormez Strait is open to all now. Trump later
0:35
Speaker 1: stated that the agreement with Iran was now complete and
0:38
Speaker 1: announced the US naval blockade would end as part of
0:41
Speaker 1: the arrangement. Senior administration officials of indicated they believe the
0:46
Speaker 1: deal is highly likely to be finalized early this week.
0:49
Speaker 1: White House officials reportedly said they were approximately eighty five
0:53
Speaker 1: percent confident of an agreement that would be signed, stressing
0:57
Speaker 1: that any sanctions relief for economic benefits for a Ran
1:00
Speaker 1: and would be tied to compliance with the terms of
1:03
Speaker 1: the agreement. The administration has repeatedly emphasized that the deal
1:07
Speaker 1: is quote performance based, meaning Iran must fulfill its obligations
1:12
Speaker 1: before receiving significant economic concessions. Now, President Trump's key message
1:18
Speaker 1: on Iran has been very simple. He's repeatedly argued that
1:22
Speaker 1: the objective is also basic. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
1:28
Speaker 1: According to reports early Sunday, Trump said Iran no longer
1:33
Speaker 1: wants a nuclear weapon and express confidence that the agreement
1:37
Speaker 1: would ensure Tehran does not pursue one in the future. Now.
1:41
Speaker 1: Trump has also rejected reports about leaked Iranian versions of
1:45
Speaker 1: the agreement, saying, quote, the terms that Iran leaked out
1:50
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the terms that were agreed
1:52
Speaker 1: to in writing. He further described Iranian negotiators as very
1:57
Speaker 1: dishonorable people for leaking what he says, we're inaccurate details.
2:02
Speaker 1: Now what the deal appears to include that I'm being
2:06
Speaker 1: told is this now? The full text, I want to
2:08
Speaker 1: be honest about this has not been released publicly, but
2:12
Speaker 1: I've been told from people that I trust that in
2:15
Speaker 1: the framework, this is what is in there. Number One,
2:19
Speaker 1: reopening the straight up our moves to commercial shipping. We've
2:22
Speaker 1: already seen oil prices drop significantly on that news. Number
2:27
Speaker 1: two ending the US naval blockade. Number three, a sixty
2:32
Speaker 1: day period of negotiations over RAN's nuclear program. The other issue,
2:39
Speaker 1: and the deal is this Iranian's commitment to not pursue
2:42
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. And then there are different things tied to
2:46
Speaker 1: that that also includes the quote potential sanctions relief, all
2:52
Speaker 1: again tied to verified compliance. This is literally the definition
2:57
Speaker 1: of trust. But verify now if you're looking at this
3:01
Speaker 1: from a big picture moment for the Trump White House,
3:05
Speaker 1: this message at peace through strength not only is their plan,
3:09
Speaker 1: but it's worked and after months and military pressure, economic pressure,
3:15
Speaker 1: and international negotiations, the administration is now saying this is
3:20
Speaker 1: a major diplomatic victory that not only could reopen one
3:23
Speaker 1: of the world's most important energy corridors, but also forces
3:27
Speaker 1: a ran back to the negotiation table and now concessions
3:32
Speaker 1: on their nuclear ambitions. All right, I want to talk
3:35
Speaker 1: to you for a second about a bill that you
3:38
Speaker 1: have every month. It is your cell phone bill. Well,
3:41
Speaker 1: why not switch it to an incredible company that actually
3:44
Speaker 1: takes a part of your bill every single month and
3:47
Speaker 1: they give it back to conservative causes, candidates and organizations
3:51
Speaker 1: that are fighting for what we believe in. You may
3:54
Speaker 1: not realize the Big Mobile gives massive donations to hardcore
3:58
Speaker 1: liberal causes and or organizations and even organizations that advocate
4:04
Speaker 1: and support abortions. I don't want my money going there,
4:08
Speaker 1: and that is why I switched to Patriot Mobile. Now,
4:11
Speaker 1: so many brands today they claim to stand for American values,
4:15
Speaker 1: but most of the time it's all talk and it's
4:17
Speaker 1: no action. And that's what makes Patriot Mobile so different.
4:21
Speaker 1: For more than twelve years, Patriot Mobile has been living
4:24
Speaker 1: their values and standing in the gap for every American
4:28
Speaker 1: who believes freedom is worth fighting for. Their business was
4:31
Speaker 1: founded on a simple conviction. If culture is being shaped
4:35
Speaker 1: through commerce, then you, as Americans, deserve a real conservative alternative. Now,
4:41
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is proudly America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
4:47
Speaker 1: They offer premium priority nationwide service on any of the
4:51
Speaker 1: three major US networks. They have unlimited data plans, international roaming,
4:55
Speaker 1: and one hundred percent US based customer support. And with
4:59
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, you can even have two separate networks on
5:02
Speaker 1: one phone, giving you unmatched coverage and peace of mind
5:07
Speaker 1: that you can't get with the other carriers. So what
5:10
Speaker 1: are you waiting for? Make the switch and make a
5:13
Speaker 1: difference with every phone call you make. Go to Patriot
5:16
Speaker 1: Mobile dot com, slash ferguson or call ninety seven to
5:20
Speaker 1: two Patriot use the promo code Ferguson for a free
5:25
Speaker 1: month of service. I use Patriot Mobile and you can
5:28
Speaker 1: too Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven
5:31
Speaker 1: to two Patriot Switch. Today, President Trump is now betting
5:37
Speaker 1: that the maximum pressure that was produced and what years
5:41
Speaker 1: of diplomacy could not under other administrations, is that now
5:46
Speaker 1: we have in Iran that agrees not only to keep
5:48
Speaker 1: this stratiforms open and return to the negotiating table, but
5:53
Speaker 1: now publicly is saying that they are not going to
5:56
Speaker 1: obtain a nuclear weapon. The administration is now saying the
6:00
Speaker 1: deal is done, quote unquote, and now the world's going
6:04
Speaker 1: to be watching to see if Tehran will actually follow through. Now,
6:08
Speaker 1: to be clear, Iran could lie, Iran could renig, Iran
6:14
Speaker 1: could not sign the deal at the last moment. All
6:17
Speaker 1: of these things are real options. By the way, they
6:19
Speaker 1: could also sign the deal, and after they sign that deal,
6:25
Speaker 1: something else could happen. They could well break the terms
6:29
Speaker 1: of the deal. There is a lot that could happen.
6:34
Speaker 1: There is a lot that could go wrong when you're
6:37
Speaker 1: dealing with a terrorist organization, and that is exactly who
6:40
Speaker 1: we are dealing with. There is no doubt that things
6:42
Speaker 1: could change. But what the President has also made clear
6:47
Speaker 1: is this, if they do renig on the deal, if
6:51
Speaker 1: they lie, if they try to cheat, if they do
6:55
Speaker 1: something they're not supposed to do, America will respond, and
7:00
Speaker 1: more than likely we will respond in a military manner.
7:03
Speaker 1: We will certainly re respond instantly with sanctions. We will
7:08
Speaker 1: respond in any way that we need to, in any
7:11
Speaker 1: way that we feel like we need to to protect America.
7:15
Speaker 1: Because this does boil down to one issue. This is
7:19
Speaker 1: a national security, a national defense issue. The President has
7:24
Speaker 1: made that abundantly clear. By the way, the same Democrats
7:28
Speaker 1: that are criticizing this president right now are the same
7:32
Speaker 1: Democrats that demanded that Iran not getting nuclear weapons, that
7:36
Speaker 1: promise to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. This is
7:41
Speaker 1: the same Democratic Party and the Obama administration and the
7:45
Speaker 1: Biden administration that said there was a red line with
7:48
Speaker 1: Iran getting a nuclear weapon. So if you're a liberal
7:51
Speaker 1: right now and you're angry over what the President just
7:54
Speaker 1: pulled off, you're then actually really angry with the same
7:58
Speaker 1: foreign policy that the Democratic Party promised you, promised you
8:04
Speaker 1: that they were going to follow through on, and they
8:07
Speaker 1: did not do it. So here we are inching closer,
8:12
Speaker 1: many would argue, much closer to a real nuclear deal,
8:16
Speaker 1: a real deal that keeps America safe and honestly the
8:20
Speaker 1: rest of the world. Are there things that could change, Yes,
8:25
Speaker 1: But if you want a real headline right now, here's
8:28
Speaker 1: what I would write. The Iran War is over. A
8:31
Speaker 1: deal has been reached between the US and Iran. President
8:36
Speaker 1: Trump is urging the ships of the world to start
8:39
Speaker 1: your engines because the Strait of Hormuz opens on Friday.
8:44
Speaker 1: President Trump yet again confirming not just the US but
8:49
Speaker 1: to the world that a piece deal with Iran is complete,
8:53
Speaker 1: and most importantly, adding that the Strait of Hormuz was
8:56
Speaker 1: reopening and that the US navy blockade the Straight would
9:00
Speaker 1: come to an end. This is a victory that every
9:04
Speaker 1: American should celebrate and many around the world should celebrate.
9:08
Speaker 1: And as a victory the President, by the way, gave
9:11
Speaker 1: us on his birthday weekend as he turned eighty years old.
9:16
Speaker 1: The Vice President JD. Van saying this Iran deal will
9:20
Speaker 1: transform the Middle East and ensure that Tehran will never
9:24
Speaker 1: ever have a nuclear weapon. By the way, world leaders
9:29
Speaker 1: are also praising President Trump at this hour, saying it
9:33
Speaker 1: is hugely important. The Iranian peace deal. And what's happening
9:38
Speaker 1: with crude oil? Well, at this moment, as I'm recording this,
9:42
Speaker 1: crude has fallen to the lowest price since March the fifth,
9:48
Speaker 1: on the Iran war ending. Something else that the President
9:52
Speaker 1: of the United States of America promised. What happen? Now,
9:56
Speaker 1: this is good news as well going into the midterm elections.
10:00
Speaker 1: And make no mistake about it, the President was looking
10:03
Speaker 1: at that calendar just like every other candidate that was
10:06
Speaker 1: on the ballot. Now, one of the things that the
10:10
Speaker 1: President promised was that the price of oil was going
10:15
Speaker 1: to drop after a deal was done. He told the
10:20
Speaker 1: American people to trust him and said that those that
10:24
Speaker 1: are preaching doom and gloom don't understand what is actually happening. Well,
10:29
Speaker 1: let me tell you where we are at the moment
10:31
Speaker 1: while I'm recording this. Now, when you listen to this,
10:34
Speaker 1: things may have even gotten better. Brent crude has fallen
10:38
Speaker 1: now to the lowest price since March the fifth, on
10:42
Speaker 1: Iran's war ending. The oil price is falling sharply starting
10:47
Speaker 1: on Sunday, after the President announced the US and Irana
10:51
Speaker 1: agreed to the peace deal. Brent crude. The international benchmark
10:55
Speaker 1: fell by around four percent to below eighty for a barrel.
10:59
Speaker 1: Now that's the low we've seen since March the fifth.
11:02
Speaker 1: Here's something else that's interesting. West Texas intermediate the US benchmark,
11:09
Speaker 1: and this is good news for everyone in America fell
11:12
Speaker 1: by more than five percent to below eighty dollars a barrel. Quote.
11:17
Speaker 1: With the opening of the strait upon the signing of
11:19
Speaker 1: the deal on Friday for purposes of mine removal, oil
11:24
Speaker 1: will flow on both ends again for the region and
11:28
Speaker 1: the world, is what President Trump said on Sunday evening.
11:33
Speaker 1: Stock futures tied to US equities market climbed on the
11:37
Speaker 1: news as well the present writing earlier on True Social
11:42
Speaker 1: that the deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is
11:44
Speaker 1: now complete. Congratulations to all I hear by authorize the
11:49
Speaker 1: toll free opening of the Street of Horn Moves and
11:53
Speaker 1: simultaneously herewith authorize the immediate removal of the United States
11:59
Speaker 1: Naval block A. Ships of the world, start your engines,
12:04
Speaker 1: Let the oil flow. Now when you hear this, it
12:08
Speaker 1: is truly incredible. And there's lots of reporting coming out
12:12
Speaker 1: right now that is saying that Iran is apparently genuinely
12:16
Speaker 1: ready to get this deal done so they can get
12:18
Speaker 1: their economy back to where it needs to be. Now,
12:22
Speaker 1: what also is interesting is what we're hearing about Iran,
12:26
Speaker 1: and there are many that are angry that Iran is
12:29
Speaker 1: not gonna keep enriching their uranium part of the deal
12:33
Speaker 1: they loved with the Obama administration. I want you to
12:37
Speaker 1: take a listen to this on Fox News Channel about
12:40
Speaker 1: that exact issue.
12:42
Speaker 2: The Obama administration. It allowed Iran to continue enriching uranium.
12:45
Speaker 2: And the way that uranium is enriched, the uranium ore
12:48
Speaker 2: is actually extracted from the ground and then through a
12:50
Speaker 2: chemical process it turns into yellow cake, and then another
12:53
Speaker 2: chemical process it turns into hexafluoride gas, and they spin
12:56
Speaker 2: that gas very rapidly in advanced centrifuges and ultimately the
13:01
Speaker 2: heavier particles go to the outside and the lighter ones
13:03
Speaker 2: stay in the middle. And this is repeated over and
13:07
Speaker 2: over again until you get to a higher purity of
13:09
Speaker 2: enriched uranium. And to take enriched uranium from let's say
13:14
Speaker 2: five to ten percent to twenty percent, ultimately to sixty
13:17
Speaker 2: percent and eventually ninety percent, which is weapons grade material,
13:20
Speaker 2: can be a matter of weeks, if not days, and
13:23
Speaker 2: so allowing the Iranians to keep advanced centrifuges and then
13:27
Speaker 2: enricheranium eventually closer to weapons grade material set them on
13:31
Speaker 2: a path toward a weapon, because that is a process
13:34
Speaker 2: that is needed to create a nuclear weapon, even if
13:36
Speaker 2: they weren't doing it at that moment. This agreement does
13:40
Speaker 2: not allow the Iranians, according to the senior administration official,
13:44
Speaker 2: to keep any of their enriched material.
13:46
Speaker 1: I go back to that core point. None of this
13:50
Speaker 1: and again we're getting the details as I'm recording this.
13:53
Speaker 1: None of this allows for them to keep their enriched uranium,
13:57
Speaker 1: which the Obama administration and had no problem with, and
14:02
Speaker 1: the Abiden administration also, by the way, look the other way.
14:06
Speaker 1: What's very interesting about what you're witnessing right now is
14:09
Speaker 1: peace through strength and the president not backing down clearly
14:14
Speaker 1: had an impact on i RAN. They thought we would
14:16
Speaker 1: flinch because the prior administrations they dealt with have done
14:19
Speaker 1: exactly that, whether it were sitting pallets of cash through
14:21
Speaker 1: appeasement or looking the other way on the sanctions that
14:26
Speaker 1: have been put on a RAN. But we're not enforced
14:29
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration now just since we've been talking,
14:34
Speaker 1: oil prices have dropped. We are now seeing the price
14:38
Speaker 1: of oil for US West Texas intermediate at right around
14:43
Speaker 1: eighty dollars a barrel. Now Brent crude, the international benchmark,
14:47
Speaker 1: has dropped almost five percent now to about eighty three
14:51
Speaker 1: and change per barrel. Trading data that we're seeing right
14:55
Speaker 1: now is showing basically international showing crude hovering around eighty
15:01
Speaker 1: one dollars a barrel. That's one of the lowest levels
15:04
Speaker 1: seen since before the Straight of Horn Moves crisis actually escalated. Now,
15:09
Speaker 1: if you're asking yourself the question, Okay, why is the
15:12
Speaker 1: price of oil falling now just because this quote war
15:15
Speaker 1: is ending, It's really different than that. This is about
15:19
Speaker 1: supply and demand. And for months traders had built a
15:23
Speaker 1: massive war premium into oil prices because roughly twenty percent
15:28
Speaker 1: of the world's oil supply moves through the Straight of
15:30
Speaker 1: Horn Moves. So think about that. I mean twenty percent
15:33
Speaker 1: is a lot. And the fear was that this prolonged
15:37
Speaker 1: conflict would keep that oil off the market to the
15:39
Speaker 1: point where they could get premium for the other oil
15:42
Speaker 1: that was being produced around the world. Also, this last week,
15:45
Speaker 1: America became the top producer of oil in the world.
15:48
Speaker 1: That's also good news for US. Now what an investor's
15:53
Speaker 1: worldwide believe now is happening. One the Straight of Horn
15:56
Speaker 1: moves will reopen, and two the oil tankers will then
15:59
Speaker 1: be again moving normally through the Strait. This also means
16:04
Speaker 1: that Iranian exports could eventually increase, that is what they're
16:08
Speaker 1: hoping for for the United States of America. And then
16:11
Speaker 1: the risk of a wider regional war has also fallen dramatically,
16:15
Speaker 1: meaning that you don't have to worry about other countries
16:18
Speaker 1: in the Middle East having a problem getting their oil
16:20
Speaker 1: to market or keeping their oil up and running as
16:24
Speaker 1: in drilling and producing. Now, when President Trump announced on
16:28
Speaker 1: true social that the deal with the RAM was complete
16:31
Speaker 1: and that the Straightup Hour moves would reopen, immediately we
16:36
Speaker 1: saw this news break that oil was dropping. What will
16:40
Speaker 1: be even more interesting now is we're hearing reports are
16:42
Speaker 1: indicating that the official signing ceremony is actually expected later
16:47
Speaker 1: this week in Switzerland. So what does all this mean,
16:51
Speaker 1: not for the world but for Americans. If oil remains
16:55
Speaker 1: in the low eighty range and then continues to move
16:58
Speaker 1: into the seventies, you're going to see gasoline prices that
17:02
Speaker 1: will ease over the coming weeks, not just months. I
17:05
Speaker 1: want to be clear about that inflation pressure that many
17:09
Speaker 1: are worried about will then decrease significantly. Then you're going
17:13
Speaker 1: to have airlines and trucking companies and manufacturers that will
17:18
Speaker 1: then see lower fuel costs, meaning that the price of
17:22
Speaker 1: goods and services and travel will then drop again. Now,
17:26
Speaker 1: markets generally view the deal as this being a massive
17:30
Speaker 1: economic positive marker because it's going to lower the cost
17:35
Speaker 1: of things that we need and use daily. So if
17:39
Speaker 1: you put it in perspective, here's the way I would
17:41
Speaker 1: say it. Literally, just days ago, Wall Street was bracing
17:45
Speaker 1: for one hundred dollars plus oil and they were pricing
17:49
Speaker 1: in what they described as a prolonged Middle East conflict.
17:54
Speaker 1: Right now, oil has plunged more than four to five
17:57
Speaker 1: percent because traders now believe the present Trump's randial will
18:00
Speaker 1: reopen the Straight of Hormuz. That will then lower costs
18:04
Speaker 1: again as it is open on Friday, restoring global energy flows.
18:07
Speaker 1: And then that removes a major threat hanging over the
18:10
Speaker 1: world's economy, which means in the prices fall even more
18:14
Speaker 1: lower oil, lower inflation, and a real sign of real
18:19
Speaker 1: economic relief. This is, by the way, exactly what President
18:23
Speaker 1: Trump promised Americans. This also is a really great moment.
18:29
Speaker 1: And the reason why I say it's a really great
18:32
Speaker 1: moment is for this reason you have the midterms coming.
18:35
Speaker 1: The present said this was going to be short. The
18:38
Speaker 1: present said it was going to be temporary, and that
18:40
Speaker 1: is exactly what we have seen. We have seen it
18:44
Speaker 1: be short, and we've seen it be temporary, and the
18:48
Speaker 1: present said it was worth it. And now the American
18:51
Speaker 1: people get to decide, is making a ran, not become
18:54
Speaker 1: a nuclear power, not having a nuclear weapon, not being
18:57
Speaker 1: a threat to the world, was this short term pain
19:02
Speaker 1: at the pump worth it? I think most saying people
19:05
Speaker 1: will say yes. And by the way, if you're a
19:07
Speaker 1: crazy liberal, you're going to say no. I expect that.
19:10
Speaker 1: But you were never going to vote for Donald Trump
19:12
Speaker 1: or any other conservative anyway. So I'm really not worried
19:15
Speaker 1: about you going into the midterms. That's the best news here.
19:19
Speaker 1: I want to take a quick moment and talk to
19:21
Speaker 1: you about an incredible organization and it is called Compassion
19:24
Speaker 1: International and how you can get involved. Love, generosity, and compassion.
19:30
Speaker 1: We say those words all the time, and they sound good,
19:33
Speaker 1: they feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't
19:37
Speaker 1: mean anything unless they turn into action, and right now,
19:41
Speaker 1: not later, today, not tomorrow. There's a child in the
19:45
Speaker 1: world who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have
19:49
Speaker 1: a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all.
19:53
Speaker 1: And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but
19:57
Speaker 1: that child is waiting. This is where you come in
20:00
Speaker 1: with Compassion International. You have the chance to change a
20:04
Speaker 1: child's future, not just with words, not with promises, but
20:08
Speaker 1: with real help that provides food, education and hope through
20:13
Speaker 1: local churches and people already in their community. Put your
20:17
Speaker 1: words into action and join me introduce a child to
20:21
Speaker 1: a loving, heavenly father today at Compassion dot com. That's
20:27
Speaker 1: Compassion dot com. World leaders are now coming forward and
20:33
Speaker 1: they're saying what the President has been able to do
20:36
Speaker 1: is truly incredible. They're welcoming the peace agreement struck by
20:40
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and the Islamic regime in Iran. It
20:43
Speaker 1: will formally be signed, we're being told in Switzerland, the
20:47
Speaker 1: end of the military conflict between the United States and
20:50
Speaker 1: Iran and thus the full reopening of the strain of
20:52
Speaker 1: her moves through which one fifth of the world all
20:55
Speaker 1: supplies flow annually. Is now well to the ears of
21:01
Speaker 1: leaders in Europe and the Middle East. Congratulations now pouring
21:05
Speaker 1: in from both London and Paris. Yeah, the two countries
21:08
Speaker 1: had vowed to lead an international coalition to ensure a
21:13
Speaker 1: toll free, free movement through the Straight of hor Moos
21:15
Speaker 1: once the war ended. The British Prime Minister Starmer said
21:20
Speaker 1: in a statement, quote I warmly welcome today's agreement reached
21:25
Speaker 1: between the United States and Iran. This is a hugely
21:29
Speaker 1: important step forward in ending the war, ensuring regional stability
21:35
Speaker 1: and reopening the Straight of hor Moos. I congratulate President
21:39
Speaker 1: Trump and the mediators from Pakistan, Katar and elsewhere who
21:44
Speaker 1: have contributed to this breakthrough. We have long argued and
21:49
Speaker 1: urged de escalation, and this is the progress we had
21:54
Speaker 1: hoped to see. Prime Minister Starmer said that his government
21:58
Speaker 1: stands quote ready to support the effort to ensure that
22:02
Speaker 1: the Strait reopens and remains fully and permanently open, which
22:07
Speaker 1: he said will be critical to ease the severe economic
22:10
Speaker 1: impacts that have been felt for several months on families
22:15
Speaker 1: here in the UK and around the world. Quote unquote,
22:18
Speaker 1: we will continue to work with partners to support this,
22:21
Speaker 1: including if required, through standing up the defensive independent multilateral Mission,
22:28
Speaker 1: which the UK and France have taken a leading role
22:31
Speaker 1: in planning up to this point, particularly to offer support
22:35
Speaker 1: on mind clearance in an agreed way. For any peace
22:39
Speaker 1: to endure, it is essential that the commitments made, particularly
22:44
Speaker 1: in relation to Iran's nuclear program, are robust, verifiable and
22:50
Speaker 1: fully implemented. It remains the UK's firm and long standing
22:54
Speaker 1: position that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. Pretty
23:00
Speaker 1: funny that Starmer is saying this but had no intent
23:03
Speaker 1: of ever actually going after Iran in any real way.
23:07
Speaker 1: But celebrating the hard work of America. You look at
23:11
Speaker 1: France as President Macron shared similar sentiments, saying that he
23:16
Speaker 1: welcomes the agreement between the United States and Iran sang quote.
23:20
Speaker 1: Resources are in place and ready to be deployed to
23:24
Speaker 1: support the international mission alongside the United Kingdom to secure
23:28
Speaker 1: the free passages of ships through the Street of Hormus.
23:31
Speaker 1: The resumption of maritime traffic without restriction on or toll
23:37
Speaker 1: is an indispensable condition for regional stability and the global economy,
23:42
Speaker 1: the French president said, sang quote. This agreement also paves
23:48
Speaker 1: a way for comprehensive negotiations and the service of peace
23:52
Speaker 1: and security for all in the Middle East. These must
23:56
Speaker 1: address concerns related to Iran's nuclear and ballistic programs, as
24:01
Speaker 1: well as its policy of regional destabilization. This is how
24:06
Speaker 1: we will be able to build a solid and lasting peace.
24:09
Speaker 1: France is prepared to play its full part alongside its partners,
24:14
Speaker 1: Macrone added. Now the French leader also stressed the importance
24:18
Speaker 1: of a ceasefire with Israel in Lebanon for the purposes
24:22
Speaker 1: of restoring the sovereignty of Bay Road over its entire territory,
24:27
Speaker 1: much of which has fallen under the control of Islamic
24:29
Speaker 1: hesbela terrorist organization, Yes back by Iran now. Meanwhile, the

Speaker 1: praise also poured in from Doha, with the Qatari Prime
24:39
Speaker 1: Minister saying that his country welcomes the agreement between the
24:44
Speaker 1: United States and Iran. We extend our thanks to our
24:47
Speaker 1: brothers in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and to all
24:51
Speaker 1: regional and international parties who contributed to creating the conditions
24:55
Speaker 1: for reaching this understanding. We look forward to all parties
25:00
Speaker 1: engaging in the upcoming negotiations in a positive and constructive
25:04
Speaker 1: spirit contributing to consolidating and building upon this progress. We
25:10
Speaker 1: affirm that the State of Qatar will always remain a
25:13
Speaker 1: steadfast supporter of these efforts and of all that promotes
25:18
Speaker 1: security and stability at the regional and international levels through
25:23
Speaker 1: dialogue and peaceful means. The agreement was also held further
25:28
Speaker 1: with the leftist Colombian President Petro who had a contentious
25:33
Speaker 1: relationship with President Trump. He even said that he thanked
25:37
Speaker 1: the US leaders for his efforts, referring to Trump when
25:40
Speaker 1: it comes to the peace of humanity, saying, quote, Colombia
25:45
Speaker 1: today holds the presidency of the United States. Net Let
25:48
Speaker 1: me resay that Colombia today holds the presidency of the
25:53
Speaker 1: United Nations Security Council and will contribute everything within its
25:58
Speaker 1: reach to support the pekey efforts between the United States
26:02
Speaker 1: and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Now, all of this

Speaker 1: it's peace through strength. Jd Vance also the Vice President
26:16
Speaker 1: coming out saying that the Iran deal will transform the

Speaker 1: President Van said that the deal negotiated by the President
26:30
Speaker 1: of the United States of America and Iran is good news. Now,
26:34
Speaker 1: all of this coinciding with the President Trump's eightieth birthday,
26:38
Speaker 1: announced that the deal between the United States of America
26:41

Speaker 1: but the United States will then lift that blockade of
26:47
Speaker 1: the Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz and both
26:50
Speaker 1: sides agreeing to cease military operations in the region. The

26:57
Speaker 1: intermediary between Washington and Tehran, said that the agreement will
27:01
Speaker 1: be formally signed by the two parties on Friday in Switzerland.

27:27
Speaker 1: the White House will never have a nuclear weapon. That's right,
27:31
Speaker 1: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Not just pressure,
27:35
Speaker 1: not just pursue a nuclear weapon, but to procure or
27:38
Speaker 1: buy a nuclear weapon as well that's built into this agreement,
27:43
Speaker 1: he went on to say. Van said that there will
27:45
Speaker 1: be quote real benefits for Ran if it sticks to
27:49
Speaker 1: the agreement. He also stressed that this will be contingent
27:54
Speaker 1: on the United States being able to quote verify that
27:57
Speaker 1: Tehran delivers on all of its promises, saying this, if
28:03
Speaker 1: the Iranians comply with a deal, it is going to
28:06
Speaker 1: fundamentally transform the Middle East for the next fifty years.
28:10
Speaker 1: It's going to end the war. It's going to make
28:12
Speaker 1: the Middle East more well investible. It's going to mean
28:16
Speaker 1: a lot of prosperity. It's going to mean lower energy
28:19
Speaker 1: prices for the American people. Van sang, this region of
28:24
Speaker 1: the world has been a basket case well for my
28:27
Speaker 1: entire life and longer than that. And what the President
28:30
Speaker 1: has really set us up to do is certainly eliminate
28:34
Speaker 1: the nuclear threat of Iran. That's done, but now possibly
28:38
Speaker 1: to build for a new era of Middle East prosperity
28:42
