Welcome to the beat. I'm Ari Melbourne Weekend. But the president rattled. He's been lashing out

online, making more threats while we are in the beginning of this dramatically negotiated ceasefire.

Public opinion has soured on the war. There are headlines that Donald Trump seems like he's losing.

They have peace talks now scheduled for Saturday. Israel is attacking Lebanon,

which is a hurdle to this process, according to the Iranian side. And Trump has been concerned.

He's called the Israeli prime minister on the phone, asked about scaling back those strikes,

which is a conversation that Trump confirmed to NBC. And then there is the oil, the sticking

Reports indicate that at least two vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz today.

The first ships to make this journey since the ceasefire went into an effect.

Only four ships passed through the strait in the first 24 hours of the ceasefire.

The ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is already on shaky ground.

Regional reports say that the shipping lane is sometimes closed, sometimes partially open, but we have

information that tracks the breakthrough. It's not what Trump wanted. About four ships made it through

yesterday. Consider the average is usually about 100 a day. That was the status quo before Trump started this war. So you can do the math on how much further back we are even during a ceasefire that Trump was claiming as some sort of middle step. The ships that are getting through are paying new tolls,

which means Iran is able to enrich itself by this measure of taking control of the choke point.

The new Ayatollah vows to take management of the strait into a new phase, and this is a burden, of course,

for the international energy supply. You have companies that used to move through the straight. They didn't pay Iran. And we all know how the global energy markets work. Whether or not the U.S. uses that

oil directly, it affects the overall supply and demand. The U.S. oil industry is pleading with Trump

to do more, an industry consultant saying with the tolls, we don't have to,
