| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the war in Iran. |
| 0:05.8 | And we had an open Hormuz, then we had a closed Hormuz. |
| 0:11.5 | We had negotiations taking place, about to take place in Pakistan. |
| 0:18.0 | And then maybe we're not going to have negotiations take place in Pakistan. Vance was sidelined, |
| 0:25.4 | and Trump was going to go with Kushner and Whitkoff. But now it looks like Vance is back in as |
| 0:32.3 | lead negotiator, though the Iranians are saying, wait a minute, who said that we're even going |
