[00:00:03]All right, getting some breaking news here. Big statement coming in from United States President Donald Trump on the war with Iran. He said, and I quote, "Don't think we need [music] any help with Iran. We will win it one way or the other. We will win it peacefully or otherwise." Unquote. He further said that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.

[00:00:25]All right, this is a big statement coming from US President Donald Trump side. He's once again reiterating what he's been saying [music] over the months that he will or United States will anyway [music] win this war whether it is of course through the war or peacefully, but he will win it. He also said the most important thing here is that Iran cannot [music] have the nuclear weapon.

[00:00:52]Let's listen in what Trump had to say.

[00:00:56]Do you think you can help in any way?

[00:00:58]>> No, I don't think we need any help with Iran. We'll win it one way or the other.

[00:01:02]We'll win it We'll win it peacefully or otherwise.

[00:01:06]Uh their navy's gone, their air force is gone. Every single element of their war machine is gone.

[00:01:13]Uh they've killed a lot of people.

[00:01:14]They've killed 42,000 people at least over the last month and a half.

[00:01:20]Uh we're going to we win.

[00:01:25]Beating their military very soundly.

[00:01:27]That's over with. The blockade is very effective.

[00:01:31]It's been 100% effective.

[00:01:33]And one way or the other it's going to work out very well. It's going to work out very well. I think uh you're going to have so much oil, you're going to have a gusher of oil like you've never had before.

[00:01:43]I would have taken that all day long because it's very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon. They know that.

[00:01:52]They've agreed to that. And then that's not what they said to me when it came to pay. We don't play games. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon.

[00:02:02]All right, CNN News18 Siddhant Mishra is joining us on this story. Siddhant, a very good morning to you. Donald Trump once again reiterating what he's been saying over the weeks that Iran cannot have nuclear weapon and the United States is winning this war anyways, either this way or that way.

[00:02:20]And he also says that he doesn't need any help. Put this statement of Donald Trump into perspective.

[00:02:27]Well, that's right. So, in fact, President Trump is is going to Beijing. And in fact, ahead of his departure, he spoke with media at the tarmac. And when he was asked about um about NATO not not helping the United States, etc., etc., he said that that United States needs nobody's help.

[00:02:53]In fact, he again reiterated that he wants a good deal with Iran.

[00:02:58]And and Iran cannot make a nuclear bomb.

[00:03:01]Now, going by what is being reported, then there has been an exchange of proposals between United States and Iran. Uh in Iran's proposal, there is no mention of uh nuclear uh program of Iran. Perhaps, that has now become a main point of contention. Now, Iran wants that initially discussions should be around Strait of Hormuz blockade, lifting sanctions, etc., etc. Uh maybe nuclear program can be discussed in the later stage. But United United States wants commitment over the nuclear program. And going by the reports, this is a major point of contention between the United States and Iran.

[00:03:52]All right, Sidhant, stay with us because we are getting some more breaking update here. I'll come back to you for that also. Stay with us.
