There was a third party that saw that they were enriching uranium beyond, way beyond what the baseline that they needed to enrich it at. Why would they be doing that if they weren't trying to make a bomb? As a deterrent? Well, I don't want a deterrent against them. I want to be able to control them. Is it in America's best interest that a country has a deterrent against us? No. It's in our best interests that they don't.

And it's our best interest that we can control them. So yeah, we got, bro, we got to get on top of this before that, before, what do you? You want to deal with another fucking Russia? You want to deal with another fucking Russia? We're like, we've got to play patty cakes with Putin about this Ukraine thing that he obviously fucking started. He's totally wrong about. Fuck that. No, if we can stop it from happening, bro, I would do it.

Absolutely. Okay, here we go. Let's see what he says. What are we going to do? Hi, everyone. Hi. She got a tablet. Welcome back.

Appreciate you being here. Thank you. Everyone's set. We're good? Great. Welcome aboard, everyone. Thank you again for being here. For generations, the Middle East has been dealing with the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, with the attack on Israel on October 7th by Hamas, reminding us of what's at stake. Due to the wisdom of the American people, President Trump's election to a second term has offered the world a chance to see an American leader,

committed to solving many of the world's existential threats with determination. Now as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues, President Trump has also been clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. He has said that. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has also stated that fact. He has said that. He has traveled the world working to implement President Trump's vision of peace and security. They have both said that. That statement has also been uttered from this podium many times. The fact that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon is clear. As the White House reminds us, since taking office, President Trump has clearly stated no fewer than a dozen times that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon for anyone who is unclear on that fact.

Yes. President Trump has made the same pledge no fewer than 40 times before taking office, even as far back as 2011. One of the highest priorities of the Trump administration is the safety and security. of the American people. To that end, the Department of State has established the Middle East Task Force to help coordinate support for U.S. citizens, our U.S. diplomatic missions, and personnel, and diplomatic engagement. The task force is operating 24 hours a day. Over the past week, to help keep U.S. citizens informed, we have issued more than 30 security alerts to countries in the region and updated the travel advisories for Iraq and Israel. Yeah, they said get the fuck out. We remind U.S. citizens not to travel to Israel or Iran and not to travel to Iran. Don't go to school tomorrow.

Any circumstances. Yep. We continue to monitor the complex and rapidly evolving situation on the ground as we continue to assess and address the needs of U.S. citizens. We urge all U.S. citizens to regularly visit travel. dot state.gov for the latest travel advisories and security updates. Don't want to go to Iran. and to enroll in the smart traveler enrollment program, also known as step,

to receive timely alerts and guidance from the State Department. For Americans needing assistance, and there we have a bit of the website there for you, call plus one 202-501-4444. That number again is plus one, 202-202-501-44-44-4-4. If you're on that website, you can also click on that red box. It's the department.

It's the state department. Where you can search for the embassy of your interest where you are, where you would like to connect to be able to get help from the embassy in the country where you are. And of course, the numbers there as well for your closest U.S. embassy. I also want to add a couple other things here as we're dealing with this. It is a Are you going to blow them up or not? Evolving dynamic, but to conclude the top of here today, I want to recognize the State Department and other U.S.

companies around the world working under threat on behalf of the American people, particularly those in Israel and Ukraine, who spent another night sheltering in bunkers as they came under attack. Our priority is the safety of Americans overseas and here at home. It is the priority of Secretary Marco Rubio. It is the priority of everyone who works in this building. And the thousands of American citizens who work anonymously in whom you will never see, who are working in embassies and consulates around the world

and working with those local nations to be there for American citizens and to help facilitate American diplomacy. Okay. Our priority is the safety of Americans, yes, here at home, but also overseas. We thank all of those working on behalf of the American people, all of you watching from home and from around the world. We thank you for nothing. For everyone around the nation, we know and honor your work as we begin another briefing here, ready to take your questions.

Are you going to do it or not? Yes, hi, thank you. Thanks for that. Could you give us some more details on this task force, how it's been working, specifically if... What? If it's going to help Americans potentially leave the region, be repatriated, depending on the countries that they're in, and there's a more detail you can give. College room. Right. Well, I won't be giving you, just as a reminder of how today is a little bit of a different day for the briefing.

There is always things that I can't say to you. And yet we have a long back and forth. Sometimes we have a little bit of debate. I won't engage in that today. My responses will be perhaps a bit quicker than usual, and I'll be moving around more quickly to reach as many of you as I can. And there will be less that I can answer for you

because of the circumstances that we're dealing with around the world. So it is just want you to know it's not personal, but we're working on certain things like the task force as an example. The task force is a group of people who are working, taking the calls of people of American citizens around the world. What do y'all think? Making sure that they get connected with what they may need in in that region. I won't go into the details of all that the task forces do, of course,

but it's about information making sure people here at the State Department and people that we get the information we need, but also people around the world, American citizens, get directed to the information that they may need as well. So I'll leave it at that, but this is something that the State Department does when there's a situation that requires it and this is one of those times. I'm sorry, yeah. Sure, Matt, sure, of course. The phone number that you get, if you call that number,

which I can do right now, what do you, who do you get? You get an individual who is- The task force or- No, you don't get the task force. That phone number is a general phone number. Good, the task force is busy. But it is a separate unit that is established to take the calls to assist American citizens who call to the embassies,

particularly you're going to be referred to embassies who can help you get what it is you need so good good question sure of course all right so it's for people that are there um there's some specific consular needs uh one in particular that i'm aware of and there may be more than one is an american citizen in iram which where there is no embassy no consulate would that be of the swiss protectorate would there be other where do they go yeah i don't know consular affairs give any advice as to what you do about Americans right now stuck in... I can't speak to any advice or information regarding individuals sent around at this point.

And what about American Israelis or Israeli Americans either wanting to come out or wanting to get back home? LL, I believe, has resumed flight. Well, I mean, bro, you... ...small measure for people who, you know... They got to get the fuck out of there. ...in Israel and they were visiting the states. I mean, let's be honest.

there is, they're American citizens. Is there anything that they can do? Where should they, should they call this number? Well, obviously, if you know, and we encourage every American when you travel, is to contact your local embassy or consulate, let them know you're there, make sure you know where they are, have those numbers. And that's what I would recommend, no matter where you're traveling, but certainly in the Middle East, is know where those entities are, know where the embassy is. So if you're in Israel, obviously it's Tel Aviv, it's Jerusalem, Are they open? Well, they will answer their phone.

So there's contacts that can happen in the midst of all of this. And of course, I think that that's the advice for wherever you are. But clearly, if you're in a certain area, it's obvious in this case that there are certain limitations in that region and that contact the embassy, the one that is nearest to you, and you will at the very least make sure they know where you are, but also they will give you some- trying to kill people, call back later? Yeah, I guess so. Yes, Humira. Remember her, I agree with your

wait till last minute? They did that with the California fires. I'm here to take questions, not necessarily always answer them. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, what does that mean? Does the United States support or pursue regime change in Iran?

Absolutely, they do. Or are we just talking about this man's no, they absolutely do. 100% that's what they're trying to do. United States helping Israel's straightforward. Both. Well, I'm certainly not going to characterize the President Trump says or tweets for that matter.

100% both. He doesn't need characterizing. He's one of the most transparent, one of the most clear individuals that we've known. I think that we can take his word for his word, but I'm not going to speculate in a larger sense

what that would mean. That is up to the president. He is the singular guiding hand about what will be a occurring from this point forward, as he has been. So he's just making all the calls. I think that that dynamic is pretty clear. He says he wants an end. As he has said about every conflict that he has as a peacemaker worked to stop peacefully through diplomacy, that has been his commitment.

And he wants these things, as he said, about a number of situations, not for a month or six months, but durable ends to this nature forever wars. And that has been his posture, and that's his posture now. Okay, I have an easier follow-up. Yes, ma'am. How many people... I'll take a hard one, too. How many people so far have contacted U.S. missions in Israel or elsewhere American citizens seeking help to depart the country that they're in, in the Middle East? Yes, I won't discuss those details with the numbers involved with them. Okay, they're not going to say that. They're probably not going to say that. not discuss what our plans are in that regard.

Yes, ma'am. Because they don't want to make the planes targets, that's the reason why. Are you guys considering at all operations that would help Americans who want to leave the region from evacuating? I know that our commitment is to the safety and security of Americans around the world. All right?

All right. Yes, sir. Go ahead. Oh, yeah, they're bombing the shit out of them this time. For sure. First of all, I'm certainly not going to remotely address that. It would require me to speculate or speak on behalf of the president, which I will not do. What we've seen, though, is clear, is months and repeated statements that all he wants is a peaceful world, his activity and the activity and the nature of the actions that the United States has taken,

and his special envoys have been rooted in one thing, which is negotiations looking for diplomatic solutions to generational problems that he wants solved. diplomatically. That has been his constant posture. These are bombs of diplomacy. Nothing that has changed. He wants peace so bad. He will bomb as many people as he needs to get it. And so, of course, that's not something I'm going to address. If he has to bomb everybody to get peace, then that's just what has to happen.

That is a question for the White House. Any cost. The NSC, that's not something I can answer here. Nadia. Thank you, Tammy. The president said you want to see Iran offers unconditional surrender. I'm not going to ask you to comment on the President's statement, but I'm going to ask you if the Secretary is involved in any kind of diplomatic emissions with his allies, with the Germans, with the French, trying to offer something to the Iranians as a way out. Well, I, again, would not speak on the details of any diplomatic conversations if they occurred, between whom, what those details would be.

We know, of course, the Secretary and the President, we're at the G7. I mean, obviously. Their constant work from the moment they came to office has been to, and certainly Secretary Rubio, was to open up conversations and to lead the world through diplomacy to make a difference. But that's the only thing that would guide me when it comes to the nature of the decisions. People are evacuating through Jordan? Yes, yeah, I heard about that. Getting into the details of the conversations, is the door to diplomacy with Iran on its nuclear program still open from the U.S. perspective? That would be a decision made by President Trump.

from the Iranian signaling interest and continuing discussions. That is not something that I can speak to. Ah, geez. Thank you. I gosh, the consular piece of this in Israel. The latest security alert from the embassy there still says the embassy is not in a place to evacuate or directly assist Americans. Do you have any timeline on when that might change for the Americans who are stranded

in that country? And just looking at... The truth is nobody has any idea what Trump is going to do? The question is, does Trump have an idea of what he's going to do? level four from level three for the entirety of the country. I don't know. I was caught on its back foot a little bit by this change because Americans still can't get help. I can say the answer to that last question is no.

We are working 24-7 to ensure the safety and the security of Americans around the world. I can say that the Department of State is always planning for contingencies to assist private U.S. citizens' departure from crisis areas, and we will alert the U.S. citizenry community and when there is additional information to share regarding their options during any crisis, but certainly this one as well. When it comes to how quickly people can expect a dynamic, the American government, the State Department, our militaries, you've seen all of these assets, all of these departments involved in this dynamic in one fashion or another, are working exclusively for the safety of this nation and the safety of the American people wherever they may be. Yes, sir.

Next. Thank you, Tommy. At the top, you said that you're advising U.S. citizens not to travel to Israel or Iraq or Iran under any circumstances. Do you have any more general guidance for Americans in the Middle East more broadly as a region? Are there other countries that you're advocating people? Do not go? Depart from. Well, at our website, we have our travel alerts.

Yeah, I would not want to be anywhere over there right now. This is scary time. Twitter, our social media accounts. Those are for... Do not come. What is the specific one for people to look to if they want to look for specific country travel alerts? Is it travel. That's a long.

Yeah.gov. So travel.state.gov. And you will see every travel alert there for you. Depending on if you're going to be traveling, and it's not just for the Middle East, or if you're in a country right now, you can get your information there. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Two questions. Your Topper, you also recognize American diplomats serving in Ukraine and Israel who spent another night in a bunker. Yes. But one of American citizens happened to be killed by the Russians last night in Ukraine.

Do you have a comment about the US about Ukraine? DAVID SANGER- About Ukraine? Yes, we are aware. I didn't even know that. Last night's attack on Kyiv, which resulted in numerous casualties, including the tragic death of a U.S. citizen. We condemn those strikes and extend our deepest condolences to the victims and the families of all those affected the president. And the recent past has made his thoughts clear about striking the civilian areas in that regard.

See, this is the reason why you don't want to run up nukes, which is that the thread throughout all of the work that we do. It's because they've got a pussy foot around with this. no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad. Because Russia has nooks. And we can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen in Ukraine. And we stand ready to provide all possible consular assistance. And out of respect to the family during this obviously horrible time, we have no further details to offer in that regard.

Thank you. And second topic, in light of Israel, Iran, tension, some of our colleagues from VOA, Persians were called back reportedly. How much does the events of past few days signify the role of the OA and other outlets to counter this narratives from U.S. enemies? Yes, I'm not going to go into the details of what we're doing when it comes to communications into that region or into specific countries. Yes, sir. Thank you, Tammy, two Iran-related topics. Super useful. Thank you.

The administration kind of kept this conflict between Israel and Iran at arm's length over the first few days. and now since last night and especially into today, we're hearing the president say, we, we, we, more. Yeah, he got control over the skies. We know where the Supreme Leader is. He's kind of taking more ownership of the situation directly. Is that feeling trickling down to this building as well? Is there more of a ownership of the situation in the State Department as well?

I mean, it's obvious, right? I, again, can't characterize the feelings of the President of the United States. We know that he is our lead. We know that he is the guiding hand. We know that he is one of a few who know all the details. Yes, absolutely. Has a mission and an agenda that has involved diplomacy and changing the world for the better for people. In the meantime, of course, things change.

Our experiences change. He's making comments on reflection. Trump's going to go in after this. He's going to give a press statement following the ongoing meeting. What matters to the president, matters to the state department and every other department. I think that it is fair to say that his leadership and his reelection to the second term was because people here in the United States were tired of status quo. Wanted or what the world has seen is a peacemaker and someone who can make a difference. That's what they're looking forward to.

Final question. Can I get in one more? One more. There's no special envoy for Iran. Several key locations in the Middle East don't have a confirmed ambassador. We speak often about the day after situation in Gaza. what about the day after situation in Iran? Is the State Department ready for it? Well, the State Department and the Trump administration, while you may not see things immediately,

just because it's not maybe in the news or you're not present for things that occur, doesn't mean they're not occurring. I would remind everyone that the State Department, as I've found out, is sort of like the military. It's 24-7. It is not something that is a basic 8-5 dynamic. And it's because people are working around the world

constantly. It is literally their mission. Personally, their work is what they do and are committed to. So while you may see a certain thing in a static framework, it doesn't mean that we have not worked on that or are not working on that or that things will begin to happen. So it's just a reminder that it's not about the day after. We are working before, during, and after. It is the anticipation of people with history and an experience of when it comes to the history, not just of a building and of a department of the United States, but the history of people working on diplomatic issues throughout the world. They're showing you how to use the mask.

And they work for this department. They are committed to those issues. And that is what makes the State Department so effective in addition to the leadership that is afforded by Marco Rubio as guided by Donald Trump. Yes, sir, you've been waiting. The NATO summit is in the Hague next week. Yes. President Trump and Secretary Rubio came back early from the G7 summit because of the nature of what's going on in the Middle East. Because they're getting ready to bomb Iran.

If the situation is still unfolding next week, should we expect some kind of changes to the delegation, changes to travel, should we be anticipating that if the situation is still longer? How can you make a decision about in a week? You have no, you can't know that. I can't tell you if anything will change. I know it has not so far. I mean, really, how could you possibly know that? But as we have experienced from day to day or even sometimes hour to hour,

things do change. This is a very dynamic. Russia denied help to Iran. We all had our special situations that were interested in, and we all want diplomacy to work. And we've been cheering on, oh, they're shooting missiles at Israel again. Cease fire discussions, et cetera. Right here.

This is something that is moving, as things tend to, very rapidly. So I would say that anything is possible, but at this point in time, that is still certainly on the books. But that's going to be. to be obviously to the that's a presidential trip another one yeah we'll see what happens the white house i'll give them a minute will be affected by their decision making based on what they see yes sir

thanks tammy two questions please uh first of all can you tell me sir Alan fisher from al jazeera english very good how do you thank thank you um the the u.s intelligence assessment on march 26 was that Iran was not working towards a nuclear bomb what's changed that the u.s position seems to be that it was very close Well, again, I can't speak to intelligence assessments, what may or may not have changed. No answer. Got it. Yeah, great. And his team.

Amazing. Who are seeing things that matter when it comes to the decision-making. Yeah, it could be whatever. That's what's happened here. Second question, if the president in his first term was willing to give the Taliban 18 months to come up with a deal, why was there only 60 days given to the Iranians to discuss something which is much more complicated? Again, I'm not going to discuss the details of the decisions made by the president. He's altered the deal. Praise he doesn't alter it any further.

That's why. Open session to the committees. Well, yes. And as I've noted, today is not that day. Next, yes? Yes, sir. Tying the white shirt. Is that you're just suggesting that-

Andrea, we're moving on, please. Let's please be able to manage this. Sir, in the back there. Thank you, Tanya. My question is. Shut up! We were talking about the negotiations between Iran and the U.S. and the president was very optimistic about it.

And now drastically everything has changed. And we are talking almost about a full-scale war between Israel and Iran. How do you name the procedure right now is, has the negotiations failed? Vibes. Or how can we name it? Vibes. There's a dartboard in the Oval Office. And a blindfold.

the Israeli Air Force. How do you see that? Do you see the vibes are totally off? The TV channel as a legitimate target. Well, you'd have to ask Israel about their decisions when it comes to the choices with what they strike and what they don't. And on your first question, which now is already, what was your first question? My first question, after all this, after this escalations, how do you name the process? I would say that, You would look to the President of the United States for how he is characterizing what has occurred. And he is very open and transparent with that and does it with his many conversations. I know, I know.

And also on truth social. He is clearly accessible. There's not happening yet. And he has said a number of things on social media that I think might answer your question. Yes, Saeed. Thank you. Very quick question. On Gaza, can I do that?

Of course. Well, are we continuing still with it? I will come to you on Gaza, Saeed, I promise, but let's continue with the topic at hand. So yes, sir, in the back. Thank you so much time. Questions. One question on Iraq related to Iran. Inosar.

Amnon. Khorazim, Vered Hagalil. Amyan, Elifelat. Jesus Christ, sorry about that. Holy fuck. The group to target the U.S. interest. Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Have you reached to the Iraqi government and what's your message? Laggy fucking YouTube. What's the State Department's assessment of diplomacy? Have you put diplomacy on a side or you still believe that diplomacy can work with Iran? Well, again, I'm not going to comment on the nature of how the White House or the President or the DOD will respond to certain remarks or demands made by someone. So you'll have to ask the DOD regarding their reaction in that regard. I would also, though, I know that the president's truth social, he's made it very clear even I think today. And I think I've got that right here.

This is, again, one of the things we've learned about President Trump is that when he tweets, when he speaks, the world watches, and it's the most clear framework that we can learn of his approach. That's scary. He has... That's really scary. I don't know if I can get to the exact one, but he's... That's the clearest framework? That, oh, yes, here we go.

He has noted that... Oh, no. We don't want missiles shot in civilians or American soldiers, or our patience is wearing thin. He said that. Thank you for your attention to this matter. There's no missiles, yes. He is making it clear, I think, here,

regarding certain choices on the ground that are being made and that what we've asked for regularly is... And what he has made clear is that we were not a part of the initiation of this, certainly. We're not a part of Israel's attacks on Iran that I think was made, stayed very clearly by both Secretary Rubio and the president. And that's important for them, for people to know. And in this case, of course, the president has made it clear that if Americans are hurt or in this case a missile shot at civilians or American soldiers, that there would be a repercussion. I think that that would not be surprising. Everybody knows what that is.

All right. We'll go back. Yeah. More on. More on. More on. More on. Go ahead.

About the role of partner countries in mediation efforts with Iran, like Mahmabdin Salman of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE. President Trump recently concluded successful trip to the Middle East. What can you tell us about the role of these partner countries? Well, it's clearly he – That he's aligning himself with them so they don't help Iran. He makes – he's the best dealmaker in the world. these partners in the lease that we have.

They understand clearly our intentions and what our goals are. Thankfully, again, to the approach and the style of President Trump. So I think that when it comes to, again, the best person who could explain his feelings and thoughts about what's accomplished on any issue is the president himself. So I'd refer you back to what he writes and what he is posting on, I think, a very regular basis, which is helpful to people like me. And I think to the world of large as well.

Oh, yeah. Is it my concern? Can I want more? Check Trump Twitter. President Trump is still trying to negotiate with their offer nuclear deal, showing that his priority is peace in the region. President Trump has once again recently offered to mediate on Kashmir, but the Moody government says that.

Oh, this is India. Need Trump's help. Does President Trump needs Moody permission to bring peace in South Asia by resolving the Kashmir? Well, yes. It's India's problem. as President Trump stated, is a right to define its own future. He offers his help,

and it's up to whoever he's offering it to, whether or not they'll accept it. We live in a fascinating, exciting time where we've got a man who can make the difference, and he's generous about making that difference. He could have chosen to have this term be about anything other than peace and making America a crate again. But he's stuck with that.

There's still nothing. part of his overall commitment to the country. So I would not speak to the nation's decision making. That's up to them. Jesus Christ. Okay. I think all of us are grateful that we have a president who's willing to help. I apologize. It's so annoying. One more in Iran and then we'll go to Saeed. The volume on this is so bad. President Mahmoud Amadda Janijad has been killed in Tehran. I can't confirm that or report on that. Damn. Discuss it. All right. Thank you. Saeed. So he's dead. In the last 48 hours, or the last three days, dozens of the Palestinians have been killed at the aid centers and so on.

Is, you know, would everybody focus on you on you on? That sounds pretty bad. This situation still garner some interest or attention from this building or from the United States of America. And are you urging the Israelis to hold off whatever, you know, the amount of firepower they're firing at these aid secrets? Well, we are always sad to hear reports about any mass casualty situation or shootings. I don't know who isn't, no matter what, the dynamic. That sucks, man. The IDF has said a particular incident is under review, and that is helpful, and we'll see what the review comes up with.

And in the meantime, I think it is important also when it comes to the nature of the efforts to get aid, and food to the Gazans. We now know can report that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation now is working at four distribution sites. Well, that's good. Distributed nearly 26 million meals. Wow. That's great. So it is again a conversation about whether or not the State Department cares. Every day there's a demonstration and when we think about the State Department it's people. It's people who've committed their lives to a diplomatic life, to a life of Foreign Service, to a political life to try to make the difference for the world. So we see that manifesting here.

And as we also know with today's events and today's conversations, there's a reason why we need people like President Trump and the American commitment to peace abroad. All right? Yes. Okay. Yeah. It's been reported over the weekend after the most of the very much. Did you see Al Jazeera English? see beside the guy? No, he was there. I think he left. A lot of them, from what I understand, in Africa,

there's already 19 countries that are affected by the travel ban to a different extent. Can you share any details elements you have on this plan? I can speak a little bit about it, not into the detail of what... No, I'm waiting to see what's going to happen.

None of these bombs in the process in that regard, but... We are, of course, committed to protecting our nation's citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process in particular, as laid out in President Trump's executive order 14161, protecting the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats. The visa adjudication process has got to ensure that U.S.-bound foreign travelers do not pose a threat to the national security and public safety of the United States.

Yeah, obviously. This is all obvious. Probably in three minutes, two minutes. To protect the national security and national interests of the United States. and people, the Department of State and other U.S. government agencies, assess other countries' security capabilities, information sharing, and identity management practices, exploitation of the U.S. visa system, such as overstay rates, and failure to facilitate the repatriation of their,

removable heavy bombing report in Tehran right now let me see noting where a country perhaps as you did is located the geo position

the actual location of a country is not a factor or what funds overwhelming support for Israeli strikes and for Trump's response

about whether or not the United States feels it can trust the 83% of voters support the strikes 95% of Trump they'll get a visa damn

we don't you know we rely on the vetting and the presentation of information from other nations in order to say, yes, you can or you can't come. Wow. In this particular instance, I think that it's clear as we're looking at providing a period of time, countries being told. That's way more than I thought.

If they don't, Matt, they don't get to that point where we can trust them and they've got to change the system, update it, do whatever they need to do to convince us that we can trust the process and the information they have. So that is the goal of this. The secretary will have the discretion. seems fake. The discretion to determine Iran is really unpopular.

Yeah, it is. As we then also continuously vet the nature of what's happening within these conversations, and the goal is so that we can all move forward so that people can come to the country. And that's our goal. All right. I don't know why you're so far in the back, Michelle, but with NPR, yes, just following up on that, there was a deadline given for these 36, countries tomorrow to come up with their action plan?

I wonder if you've heard back from any of them yet. That's incorrect. I can just tell you that that's not correct. You think Iran is a bright future? Considerable amount of time to rectify whatever the situation is. We'll see. That the State Department is determined is affecting the nature of our trust in how we issue a visa. All right.

Yes. And we'll take. Yes, sir, with the beard there. Yes. Thank you. Has the United States... Can you tell me your name, sir, in your outlet? Mustafa Abdu, Shafak News.

Okay, welcome aboard. Thank you. Has the United States received any official request from Baghdad to help prevent Israeli other flights in Iraqi airspace? And what is Washington's response to such a request? Again, you would need to speak to the Department of Defense and the White House regarding that. I won't speak to the details of conversations, certainly about... about anything of that matter.

Iran was sent by futures Iraq, Afghanistan, every other nation, U.S. decided to rebuild. For sure. As we return, thank you all for your patience. And I expect to see you again later in the week. Thank you very much, everyone. Okay, well, that was a bunch of fucking nothing. That was a waste of time. Wow, great. Good job. Yeah, thank you so

much. That was super, super helpful. And yeah, great. Amazing. All right, yeah, I thought this was ever going to have actual answers to stuff? Apparently not. And so leave your shelters. in Israel. You can leave your shelter. All right.

So. So that's it? So that, wait. Moments ago. Wait, it's over already.
