| 0:00.0 | Good evening. I'm Amna Nawaz. And I'm Jeff Bennett. On the news hour tonight, the U.S. |
| 0:08.9 | holds indirect nuclear talks with Iran amid escalating threats and a buildup of U.S. forces in the region. |
| 0:15.9 | U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, discusses the next phase in the Gaza ceasefire and his hopes for Iran's |
| 0:22.9 | future. Iran is a real problem, and it's not just the Middle East problem. It's a problem globally. |
| 0:28.4 | If Iran is serious about wanting to change, this would be pretty dramatic after 47 years |
| 0:33.2 | of saying death to America. Let's hope they can. And people affected by the Trump administration's suspension of immigrant visas for citizens from 75 countries |

| 1:36.7 | of State Marco Rubio and the top negotiator Steve Whitkoff that Iran must not make any nuclear |
| 1:42.5 | fuel domestically, must restrict the range of its ballistic missiles, |
| 1:46.3 | must end its support for proxy groups, |
| 1:48.0 | and account for highly enriched uranium |
| 1:49.8 | that has been missing since last summer strikes. |
| 1:51.9 | Today, the U.S. held indirect talks. |
| 1:54.1 | You see Whitkoff there, |
