1
U.S. Central Command says that the U.S.
2
military conducted self-defense strikes targeting Iranian missile launch sites, as well as boats around the Strait of Hormuz.
3
The attacks come as Washington and Tehran continue negotiating, and as they may be closer than ever to ending the war.
4
But disputes remain over Iran's nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions.
5
President Trump laying out his plans for destroying Iran's enriched uranium or nuclear dust, as he often refers to it, as saying that it will be either transported to the US, dealt with on site, or taken to another acceptable location.
6
I want to go now to CNN's Salma Abdulaziz.
7
Joining me from London.
8
Some of you're also closely following the current and ongoing trip of Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
9
Is he offering any insight into into where the US and Iran are running into issues right now?
10
Well, it seems like by the hour, America is either on the precipice of a full blown war with Iran or about to get a peace deal, depending on who you're speaking to and what's just happened that hour.
11
You mentioned the strikes, of course, around the Strait of Hormuz.
12
There was just happened a few hours ago.
13
We do have more information on where those occurred with Centcom saying that they targeted missile launch sites in Iranian boats attempting to place mines.
14
The statement went on to say that the U.S.
15
is working to defend its forces while using restraint.
16
Now, a note here.
17
Of course, there is a cease fire that is in place now.
18
Violations have happened in the past, and the cease fire has carried on.
19
So unclear how this will impact that at this point.
20
But we do now have a statement from Iran's Supreme leader.
21
Before I read it out to you, I want to make clear that this is a written statement from the Supreme Leader, and it could have been written before these strikes occurred.
22
Let me read out that statement to you.
23
The United States not only will no longer have a safe haven for its mischief, mischief, and for establishing military bases in the region.
24
But day by day it is growing more distant from its former status again an indication there of the type of military actions that Iran has taken in the region.
25
Striking at military bases.
26
Of course, in neighboring countries across the Gulf, it seems a hardening of position.
27
But you mentioned, of course, there was talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
28
Those concluded in Qatar a short time ago with the secretary of state saying, look, it's a matter of wording, a matter of a few sentences that we're negotiating over now.
29
But if you ask Iranian negotiators, they seem to indicate that the United States and Iran are still very far from a deal.
30
The key issue, of course, is enriched uranium, as you mentioned, that no dust, no dollars, a statement that we keep hearing from U.S.
31
officials over the weekend indicating that that 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium that the United States and President Donald Trump, of course, wants to see destroyed.
32
Iran, on the other hand, says that a conclusion to the war must be finalized before it speaks about how to handle that enriched uranium.
33
And again, hearing about those strikes around the Strait of Hormuz that just occurred in the last few hours, we're hearing from Iranian state media that there was the sound of at least three explosions around the key port, Bandar Abbas port in southern Iran.
34
It says Iran's government says and Iran's state media says that air defenses were activated.
35
Again, we do not know if this statement that we've just heard from the Supreme Leader in written statement that was put out to mark the Hajj pilgrimage, whether that was written beforehand or after hand.
36
But the key question here will be, will those U.S.
37
strikes affect those negotiations?
38
And how far are they from the deal now that we're seeing those attacks again around the Strait of Hormuz by the U.S.
39
forces? Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim they have shot down an MQ nine Reaper drone and opened fire on an F-35 jet and another drone that they say entered its airspace, presumably somewhere around that region.
40
Iran says it will retaliate over ceasefire violations.
41
Now, overnight, the United States launched new strikes on southern Iran.
42
You can see right here hitting these sites that the USA or missile targets the US claims it was in self-defense.
43
And yet, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the two sides could be just days from some kind of an agreement.
44
Well, this now is CNN global affairs commentator Sabrina Singh.
45
Sabrina, great to see you here.
46
So we have these U.S.
47
strikes overnight on Iran.
48
And we just learned seconds ago that Iranians claim there they shot down a U.S. drone.
49
So where does that leave things as these negotiations continue?
50
What you're seeing is both sides claiming defensive strikes.
51
They're both protecting their, you know, air assets, defense assets on the ground.
52
And so the U.S.
53
took defensive strikes yesterday Iran just this morning as we're seeing coming in is also taking defensive measures.
54
Now the very tentative cease fire according to the U.S., is still holding.
55
And even though it is still holding, I mean, we're still in the middle of a war.
56
I mean, there's a naval blockade that is an act of war.
57
So even though that you have this cease fire, they're still exchanging fire.
58
So it's now what happens next.
59
And I think that's what's really to watch.
60
What does the president say about this?
61
And what does the Supreme Leader say now?
62
And of course, then there's Israel two, right.
63
Because Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, says that his war against Hezbollah and Lebanon is very much continuing.
64
So what does that do to the negotiations?
65
And you've seen Israel actually intensify their own strikes overnight on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
66
I mean, basically what this administration has done is the house is on fire, and they're trying to put it out with a bucket of water.
67
And this is a deal to get a deal.
68
A lot of the issues, the thorny issues, whether it's nuclear enrichment or ballistic missile capabilities, are being pushed further down the line.
69
And meanwhile, you have Israel still conducting strikes in Lebanon, even though part of this so-called deal was that that would stop.
70
So again, it's more about what does this administration do?
71
What is the messaging that comes from Donald Trump today?
72
I think there is not a world in which this administration wants to start back up on kinetic strikes, which is why they keep pushing this ball down the line.
73
But we are where we are intensifying strikes in Lebanon.
74
And of course, you're seeing an exchange of fire, in Iran as well.
75
The Iranians know what the U.S.
76
wants and doesn't want, presumably, which may be why the United States seems to have.
77
All right, I don't know if budged or moved a little bit on the language on the nuclear talks.
78
This is a, a statement from the president yesterday.
79
The uranium will either be immediately turned over to the U.S.
80
to be brought home destroyed, or preferably in conjunction, coordinated, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
81
Destroyed in place.
82
Right. Destroyed in place or at another acceptable location.
83
This means the uranium stays in the Iranians destroy there, presumably, but this was sort of a no go area before.
84
This is much more lenient language than we've seen from the president than we've ever seen before.
85
I mean, at the beginning of this war, February 28th, it was that Iran would never get access to a nuclear weapon, would not be able to keep its enriched uranium.
86
This is signaling, a bit of a gray area.
87
And I think that this administration is hedging that they're going to need some type of third party to come in here.
88
I mean, I don't think it will be acceptable under any terms that Iran keeps some of its enriched uranium.
89
But we've never seen language like this.
90
And it does lean more towards Iran and its favor.
91
So these are the nuclear sites inside Iran.
92
The uranium buried presumably underneath some of these facilities right now.
93
When we say destroyed, it's again murky.
94
What exactly that means?
95
That means you could degrade the uranium from 60% enrichment to what, like 5 or 10%.
96
But that's still potentially useful down the line. Right.
97
And that's why the deal to get a deal does not address any of these issues.
98
And you remember the Iran deal that was negotiated under the Obama administration that took almost two years to get to.
99
And there were many mechanisms in place to monitor some of these sites.
100
We're not seeing any of that being negotiated out in the public.
101
What does monitoring look like?
102
What actually happens to the enriched uranium?
103
And they haven't even addressed their ballistic missile program, which is one of the capabilities that we know Iran still retains.
104
So even though this administration has said they've destroyed Iran's navy, destroyer air force, those were never the programs of record that Iran touted.
105
It was always its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and those still very much remain in the status quo before the war started.
106
So again, watch what's happening very much in the air and on the ground.
107
Continue strikes, and we'll listen for what they have to say about the negotiations.
108
Sabrina, saying, thank you very much for being here.
109
President Trump hosted this meme shortly after those strikes.
110
Obama's Iran policy.
111
He shows piles of cash, Trump's Iran policy, missiles flying.
112
So bringing in now CNN global affairs analyst Kim Dozier, thank you so much for being here.
113
Needless to say, these presidents do have very different approaches to Iran.
114
But I want to start with, this attempt to get to an agreement, this attempt in the talks, because we are really hearing from a wild mix of politicians who are upset with the white House.
115
I'm going to give you an example.
116
Here is John Bolton, former national security adviser, giving this, as usual sort of counter textual take.
117
I hope that negotiations break down, because every day that goes by is a gift to Iran.
118
I think these negotiations are a mistake.
119
I think we're on the verge of something that ultimately history will decide was a catastrophic loss for the United States.
120
We have we have done significant damage to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
121
And right now we're letting them undo the damage.
122
This is what Iran wants.
123
They want more time.
124
60 days turns into six months, and then it turns into more than that.
125
You and I have talked about Iran wanting more time, but can you help me understand what he's saying about this is somehow catastrophic, a loss, the dangers that some people are seeing in the white House approach.
126
U.S. intelligence has already detected that Iran is using this time to access its nuclear sites, rebuild and rearm.
127
It has built drones at an amazingly fast pace.
128
So every single day it gets a reprieve from bombing means it's more ready to attack again.
129
Also, Iran has talked about now lifting the ban on the internet.
130
The interesting thing about that is they don't want to foment dissent, but they're willing to take the risk because the Iranian economy is under such strain.
131
And a lot of the economy runs on businesses that use the internet.
132
So that shows that the stress is hitting Iran, but it is getting a relief by these days without attacks.
133
It's interesting because we've talked so much about what the president is dealing with here domestically, but in Iran they have an incentive, right?
134
You have a supreme leader who is relatively new.
135
You have people who have been under this bombardment.
136
Is there any incentive for them to move forward, or is it, as Bolten says, waiting is all that matters if it means claiming victory over the US.
137
There is incentive to draw out the talks as there always has been.
138
This has been their, M.O.
139
in previous negotiations.
140
And remember, what they're being asked to do is, a sacrifice of what they see as legitimacy, give up their refined nuclear material and all of it.
141
Not just like some in rich parts.
142
It's just like everything goes.
143
And, they will pledge never to make a bomb again.
144
But my question is, will these talks produce what the Obama deal did?
145
Intrusive international nuclear inspections, intrusive inspections, if it doesn't happen again?
146
So what Iran is being asked is really hard to say yes to, especially when you've got so many hardliners now empowered by the U.S. attacks.
147
So look, what this shows is that President Trump knows going back to just hammering Iran won't open the Strait of Hormuz.
148
He's feeling the economic pressure.
149
So he wants some sort of delay, to open the Straits if he can get that.
150
I think we could see talks returning to the JCPoA, sort of, it will take weeks.
151
It will take months to get some sort of resolution and either way, get the sense both sides will be spinning it into a win, even though we're looking at a stalemate and John Bolton will not be happy, nor will any of the hard line GOP members who wanted to see Iran truly decimated by these attacks.

Die Geschwindigkeit des Sprechers in diesem Video ist moderat bis schnell; versuchen Sie, Ihr eigenes Tempo anzupassen, indem Sie langsamer sprechen, wenn nötig, und dann das Tempo allmählich steigern. Notieren Sie sich, welche Phrasen wiederholt verwendet werden, und üben Sie diese mehrmals, um sicherzustellen, dass sie gut im Gedächtnis bleiben. Durch diese Technik werden Sie nicht nur Ihren Wortschatz erweitern, sondern auch Ihre Selbstsicherheit beim Englisch sprechen üben. Verbessern Sie aktiv Ihre Englische Aussprache und arbeiten Sie daran, authentische englische Phrasen in Ihrem Alltag zu verwenden.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
