[00:01:00]>> [music] >> Hopes for a peace deal on Iran faded on Tuesday after Donald Trump said a ceasefire with Iran was on life report as Therron rejected American proposal to end the conflict and stuck to a list of demands the American president described as garbage. Iran has called for an end to the war on all fronts including Lebanon where US ally Israel is fighting Iranbacked Hezbollah militants. Thran also emphasized its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormos, demanding compensation for war damage and an end to the US naval blockade among other conditions.

[00:01:54]Trump said Iran's response threatened the status of the ceasefire announced on April 7th. Trump said that he is considering restarting naval escorts previously dubbed Project Freedom through the Strait of Hormuz as he seeks to complete victory in the war.

[00:02:14]have a complete victory. We've already in theory had a complete victory from the military standpoint. The military, look, their navy is dead. They have they had 159 ships right now. They have zero other than the little speedboats that go around that got taken out eight a day by us. Uh they have no air force. They have no anti-aircraft. It it's unbelievably weak. I would say I would call it the weakest right now after reading the piece of garbage they sent us. I didn't even finish reading it. They said I'm not going to waste my time reading it. I would say it's one of the weakest right now. It's on life support.

[00:02:55]>> Meanwhile, Turkey supported efforts to reopen the strait. Its foreign minister Akan Fedan said on Tuesday that waterway should not be used as a weapon. Speaking at her press conference in Qatar, Minister Fedan said that Anara was contributing to efforts led by Pakistan to find a negotiated end to Iran war.

[00:03:19]>> The street of Hormuz not being used as a weapon is extremely important for regional security, regional stability as much as the global economy. In this respect, we support all efforts to ensure safety of passage and to prevent a return to this situation.

[00:03:39]>> Meanwhile, responding to Donald Trump's warning that West Asia truce is on a brink of collapse, Iran's chief negotiator said Washington must accept Iran's latest peace plan or face failure. Iran's parliament speaker Muhammad Bagghar Galipath said in a postonX that there is no alternative but to accept the rights of Iranian people as laid out in the 14point proposal.

[00:04:03]Both sides have refused to make concessions and repeatedly threatened to resume fighting but neither appears willing to return to allout war.

In recent days, President Trump's aids have urged Taiwan to commit even more money to its defense. A US official said that Trumpi summit signaled no change in policy towards Taiwan. President Trump told journalists that he doubted that tension over Taiwan would erupt during his presidency.

[00:05:51]a lot of good things can happen. Now, we'll be talking about I mean, he'll bring up Taiwan, I think, more than I will, but I I think that um a discussion will be a little bit about a little bit about energy and about the very beautiful country of Iran.

[00:06:10]>> Meanwhile, Taiwan's foreign ministry spokesperson said the island will deepen its ties with the US.

[00:06:20]We will continue to monitor developments in United States China interactions very closely. At the same time, we will maintain close and constructive communications with the US. In fact, as you can see, since the Trump administration took office, they have consistently retarated its support for Taiwan. Moreover, they have taken concrete actions to implement the United States long-standing and consistent policy, including the previously announced 11 billion arm sales to Taiwan.
