00:00Well, thank you very much.
00:01We just got back from a wonderful group of people, faith, and freedom.
00:21On Iran, Mr. President, you said that Iran violated the ceasefire.
00:26Will they face any consequences?
00:28We'll find out.
00:30Do you consider the ceasefire to still be in place?
00:32I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday, actually four.
00:36We knocked down three at a ship.
00:41Not an allied ship, but a ship, a very expensive ship, and it was fine, but it took a little
00:48beating.
00:49They shouldn't be doing that, so you'll find out.
00:51Sir, why do you think they did that if the talks, you've said repeatedly they're going
00:55well.
00:55What do you think the motivation is for Iran in attacking a ship?
00:58They're a little bit different.
01:00That's why I think of it.
01:0147 years, no president did what we're doing.
01:06So you just asked the question, you'll find out.
01:08We'll find out.
01:17We'll find out.
01:22We'll find out.
01:28We'll find out.
01:32We'll find out.
01:37We'll find out.
01:40All the information.
01:40I'm working currently diligently with several parties in conversations from the countries
01:48in the region, the membership of the organization, and particularly Oman, the United States, and
01:53Iran, in order to find these guarantees that were provided at the beginning that vessels
01:58will not be targeted and that flow of trade will continue particularly to evacuate the seafarers.
02:06And as soon as I get further confirmations of that, we're ready to reinitiate the process
02:13of evacuation.
02:14My first priority is the evacuation of the seafarers.
02:18The next priority, which is in line with the MOU, is, of course, the demining of the
02:23Strait of Hormuz.
02:23Then we need to address aspects of comments that have been raised in relation to the management
02:29of the Strait of Hormuz and how that can be improved for the future.
02:34But all this is also linked to the conversations that go beyond the remit of the organization,
02:39which is in relation to the technical aspects of implementation of the MOU.
02:44So I prefer to focus on the first steps, make the necessary progress, and that would allow
02:48us to reach the goal that we all want, which is to resume operations in the Strait of
02:53Hormuz to the pre-conflict.
