1
President Trump says he's holding off on a planned military attack in Iran that he says he was planning to launch tomorrow.
2
The president's saying that serious negotiations are happening now.
3
Let's get right to CNN's Kristen Holmes at the White House.
4
Kristen, what are you hearing about this?
5
Has there been a substantial shift in the tenor of negotiations?
6
Well, that's really what's unclear at this moment,
7
particularly given that we were just learning from a U.S official
8
that the U.S does not believe that Iran's latest proposal goes far enough,
9
that Iran has made enough concessions,
10
particularly when it comes to enriching uranium.
11
But what we're hearing now is President Trump essentially saying that his Gulf country partners,
12
including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates,
13
have essentially asked him to hold off on this planned military attack that he says was scheduled for tomorrow.
14
And this is the quote,
15
in that serious negotiations are now taking place,
16
in that in their opinion,
17
as great leaders and allies,
18
a deal will be made which will be very acceptable to the United States of America,
19
as well as countries in the Middle East and beyond.
20
Then it goes on to talk about no nuclear weapons.
21
And then it goes on to say that he's instructed his department of,
22
et cetera, that he will not be doing the scheduled attack.
23
But I do want to read one line.
24
It says,
25
I have further instructed them to prepare to go forward with
26
a full large scale assault of Iran on a notice in the event that an acceptable deal is not reached.
27
Now, of course, we have been reporting that President Trump has been growing increasingly frustrated by the negotiating that Iran is doing,
28
essentially feeling as though it's not moving quickly enough.
29
I will remind you that a couple of weeks ago,
30
I asked President Trump if he believed Iran was slow walking this process.
31
He said he really wasn't sure at that point,
32
but that was still weeks ago and we seem to be in the exact same place.
33
And this is also happening as President Trump has expressed this frustration to aides, to U.S officials as well.
34
It's not just about the negotiating,
35
but it's also about the Strait of Hormuz and this extended closure,
36
which is having a ripple effect throughout the global economy,
37
the global oil industry, and of course sending prices here in America skyrocketing.
38
There is a real concern that gas could go above $5 a gallon in some places.
39
So right now we are hearing President Trump saying
40
that he's having these conversations with these Middle East partners that they're telling him to hold off.
41
We've heard this kind of thing before,
42
where he says he's not going to do something because there's a peace deal in the works.
43
It's just unclear now what is happening behind the scenes in the moments after they're telling us one thing,
44
that this latest deal didn't go far enough.
45
And this post, which came again moments later with President Trump saying,
46
we're going to not attack because there's a deal that might take place soon.
47
Yeah, a deal will be made.
48
That is their opinion, meaning Qatar and Saudi Arabia, according to this post.
49
Kristen, thank you so much.
50
Let's bring in former Republican Congressman of Illinois, Adam Kinzinger.
51
He's back now with reaction on this.
52
The president has this habit of making these threats about essentially,
53
not even essentially, about destroying Iran and then not following through on them.
54
There's obviously questions about whether he should have made the threats in the first place,
55
but I wonder what your reaction is to him again finding an off-ramp from his threat.
56
Yeah, that's the whole thing.
57
This is so damaging.
58
You know, regardless of let's just be,
59
you know, agnostic on whether he should attack again or not for the moment.
60
When you make threats and then you're eager to back down from those threats,
61
which he has been every single time.
62
I mean, he's gone from we will destroy an entire civilization to we have a deal,
63
which we never actually had,
64
by the way, claiming the straits open,
65
claiming it's closed, claiming he was going to pull the trigger on May 19th.
66
And now everybody wants him to deal because we're about to like you lose all of your strategic like strength.
67
One of the greatest things the United States had is our ability to say we will do something.
68
The enemy knows that.
69
And then hopefully we won't have to do that.
70
This has just been like threat back off, threat back off.
71
And I haven't seen the Iranians move in any way here.
72
And we find ourselves in the worst case scenario,
73
which is a closed strait, this nebulous future.
74
And gas is now having to price in and futures are pricing in the uncertainty.
75
I wonder if you think
76
that there is a path for the U.S to somehow exit this situation in a better position than it went in.
77
Is the only way out of this essentially to have this new Persian Gulf Strait authority
78
that Iran has installed in the Strait of Hormuz intact and to essentially find some form of concession
79
that Iran will accept in order to reopen the strait to their liking?
80
Yeah, I mean, that's what's crazy is we did go in with overwhelming military power,
81
and now in the White House,
82
they are trying to figure out what Iran needs to be satiated, to be pleased.
83
And I mean, this is why they should have thought this through.
84
You either, if you're going to do something like attack Iran,
85
you have to know what the contingencies are.
86
And honestly, those contingencies, you have to be willing to do them.
87
Otherwise, you probably should not have gone to this fight in the first place.
88
And so what does the future here look like?
89
You You know, I don't know.
90
Are they going to find something that Iran wants?
91
Maybe.
92
Are they going to actually denuclearize them or whatever?
93
I don't know.
94
Is there going to be an Iranian,
95
you know, toll on every ship that passes?
96
But I know this much.
97
I know that my kid,
98
who's four and a half years old,
99
is going to probably be in a country
100
that has a worse situation based on what's going on because of this war than had we done nothing.
101
I think Donald Trump needs to figure out if we resume hostilities with Iran,
102
you need to have a plan in place to reopen
103
that strait and stick to the use of the military until it's done
104
or quit these threats because it's just making it worse.
105
Tomorrow marks 80 days since the U.S and Israel launched the war with Iran.
106
But today, how it ends is anything but clear.
107
Iran says it did send a new response to Pakistani mediators about U.S criticisms of its latest 14-point peace proposal.
108
President Trump rejected that offer last week,
109
saying he stopped reading it after the first sentence.
110
Impatient over the impasse, the president is again threatening to destroy Iran,
111
saying on Sunday, quote, the clock is ticking and they better get moving fast or there won't be anything left of them.
112
Let's talk more about all of this with Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey.
113
He's a member of the House Intelligence Committee.
114
Congressman, thank you so much for being with us.
115
We've seen threats like this before.
116
Do you think the president is ready to make good on this threat this time?
117
Well, obviously, I won't predict what Donald Trump's going to do,
118
but he did say that he's going to be meeting with his natural security team in the Situation Room tomorrow.
119
We also know what appears to be the response to the latest from Iran on a proposed deal,
120
which seems like, according to reports,
121
more words and not a lot of substantive action on their nuclear program.
122
So between, you know, obviously what we're looking for,
123
progress we're looking for from Iran on their nuclear program,
124
plus lack of action on scaling back their ballistic program or their terror programs from,
125
you know, one of our key enemies, the regime there.
126
It seems to put forth a lot of question marks about Iran taking things seriously
127
when it comes to action on our side.
128
And add to that what's going on in the Straits,
129
Hormuz, where you're looking at a thousand ships or so that are still stranded there,
130
stuck there, which of course is leading to much higher gas prices for Americans back home.
131
In Jersey, where I live,
132
average now $4.50 as we head into Memorial Day weekend, right?
133
You can imagine that's weighing pretty heavily.
134
On the closure of the strait,
135
Iran has launched this new entity,
136
the Persian Gulf Strait Authority,
137
to manage the strait as they're trying to really cement their control over this critical passageway.
138
Is it possible that Iran retains control of the strait in perpetuity?
139
And certainly it appears that are going to try to do that for several months here in the near term.
140
Is there any scenario where that could go on in perpetuity?
141
I mean, I don't think that's anything that we could accept as a country.
142
You can't have more 20 percent of the world's oil passing through this key artery,
143
one of our top adversaries holding the keys, right?
144
That seems unacceptable to me,
145
you know, both in terms of what that would do to global oil pricing and also impact on our allies as well.
146
Let's remember what we're dealing with here.
147
The Iranian regime flies under the banner of death to America,
148
calls us the great Satan America and has attacked and killed our service members and attacked our bases,
149
killed our allies.
150
These are no friends of the United States of America.
151
But what's been continuing to be unclear is what our ultimate strategy is in the region
152
and what our progress has been through the conflict.
153
As much as I want to crush Iran,
154
I also want to understand what our goals are.
155
And so far, what we're seeing is very high oil prices.
156
And at least according to public reporting,
157
Iran still maintains massive missile and drone capabilities and capacity,
158
as well as significant nuclear capacity,
159
and has the resources, and I think this is a big issue,
160
whether they have the resources to fund their proxy terrorist program,
161
Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
162
So you have a lot of questions that are still hanging out there,
163
not a lot of answers,
164
but we'll see what's next.
165
The Iranians appear right now not to be concerned about our threats.
