59
00:04:47.282 --> 00:04:53.495
<v Sarah>So <00:04:47.535>the <00:04:47.708>operational <00:04:48.362>story <00:04:48.748>is <00:04:48.905>winding <00:04:49.399>down <00:04:50.015>while <00:04:50.235>the <00:04:50.346>accounting <00:04:50.912>behind <00:04:51.308>it <00:04:51.463>gets <00:04:51.735>murkier, <00:04:52.535>not <00:04:52.845>clearer.

67
00:05:25.158 --> 00:05:34.150
<v Sarah>Per Al Jazeera, Khamenei said on X Sunday that there’d be no U.S.-Iran agreement unless Israel stops its attacks on Lebanon.

68
00:05:34.150 --> 00:05:38.936
<v Sarah>He called that the primary condition — absolute and unconditional.

69
00:05:38.936 --> 00:05:41.547
<v Sarah>Listen to what Tehran is doing here.

70
00:05:41.547 --> 00:05:47.131
<v Sarah>It’s now welding the Lebanon front onto talks with Washington, on the record.

71
00:05:47.131 --> 00:05:53.586
<v Sarah>This is the first time we’ve heard Tehran name a specific external precondition that way.

72
00:05:53.586 --> 00:06:02.216
<v Rich>And just as Pakistan and Qatar step up their mediation, Khamenei drops a condition Washington physically can’t deliver.

73
00:06:02.216 --> 00:06:04.174
<v Rich>Israel isn’t at that table.

74
00:06:04.174 --> 00:06:08.670
<v Rich>Netanyahu just got handed a veto over a deal he isn’t signing.

75
00:06:08.670 --> 00:06:10.628
<v Rich>Think about the sequencing.

76
00:06:10.628 --> 00:06:20.273
<v Rich>The Hormuz strikes wound down because they ran out of targets, and now the price of peace is a ceasefire on a totally separate front.

77
00:06:20.273 --> 00:06:26.438
<v Rich>Somehow, a one-page MOU is supposed to staple three wars together with one signature.
