Trump's Iran Strategy: Arab Nations, Back-Channel Talks, and Warnings

0:00On March 30th, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt dropped a big idea today. President Trump is keen on asking Arab nations to cover the costs of any war with Iran. She confirmed it's something he thought about and expects him to talk more on it soon. Meanwhile, negotiations with Iran keep moving forward behind closed doors. Levitt says, talks up progressing well, even though Tehran's public tough talk doesn't match their private chats with U.S. officials. Iran has quietly agreed to some key American demands, despite calling peace proposals unrealistic and launching missile strikes on Israel. That public posturing hasn't stopped the back channel progress. Earlier today, Trump issued a stark warning. If Iran doesn't reopen the straight-of-form moves, the U.S. will wipe out their energy plants and oil wells. Levitt's stress that Washington will put every private promise from Iran to the test and make sure they stick to their word. Keep an eye out for Trump's next move on all this.
