Hello, welcome to Coffee House. I'm James Heel.

And I'm Tim Shill. Today we'll be discussing through the big stories and news. First up, Iran.

What is Donald Trump now saying about the Strait of Hormuz?

And then we're going to talk about the government having crisis meetings on energy prices.

And finally, we'll talk about Labour pains. What are Kyristarmes' own MP saying

ahead of the Prime Minister's Liaison Committee meeting later today? First of those, of course,

is the war in Iran. We have had days and days of war war. Well, now, James, Donald Trump.

We've got a bit of jaw-jaw, jaw. Which has arrived. Of course, in the form of a truth social post, he is pleased to report

that the United States and the country of Iran, not the Islamic Republic, have had over the last

two days very good and very productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution

of our hostilities in the Middle East based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth

detailed and constructive conversations. Do you sense at this point that somebody might have

written parts of this for Chump himself? Which, which, spelt like a witch, we'll continue

throughout the week. I've instructed the Department of War to postpone all and any military

strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure

for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, the interesting thing here is that it appears

to be a cessation of violence against power plants, which had not yet begun, because the threat from Trump was we had a

deadline that was about to expire at midnight this evening, whereby he would threaten to blast

the Iranian power plants if they didn't reopen the Straits of Hormuz. What he's saying is,

we won't be doing that now for five days. What he's unclear from this is whether he's stopping all bombing for five days. It certainly doesn't suggest from that that's what's going to happen. And you would imagine, wouldn't you, that if the Israelis thought they had just five days left for bombing, that they might up their game a bit over the next five days. Well, might step it up, actually, yeah, because I think that, look, everyone's thinking

this can't be a long-lasting thing.
