JACKIE, HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO ONGOING PEACE TALKS? DO WE HAVE JACKIE? I DON’T KNOW IF WE HAVE JACKIE. RIGHT NOW WE’RE GETTING TO JACKIE RIGHT NOW. SO LET’S SEE IF WE CAN GET TO HER REAL QUICK. THERE SHE IS. HI, JACKIE. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? THE U.S. MILITARY IS ENFORCING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S NAVAL BLOCKADE, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY DESIGNED TO WEAKEN IRAN’S ECONOMY AND APPLY MORE PRESSURE IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. THE LATEST EXAMPLE CAME ON SATURDAY, WHEN U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND SAID THAT IT FIRED A MISSILE AT A GAMBIAN FLAGGED COMMERCIAL SHIP THAT ALLEGEDLY IGNORED MORE THAN 20 WARNINGS AS IT TRIED TO ENTER AN IRANIAN PORT. PRIOR TO THAT INCIDENT, U.S. FORCES HAD DISABLED FIVE OTHER VESSELS AND REDIRECTED 116 TO ENFORCE THE BLOCKADE, WHILE A FRAGILE CEASEFIRE REMAINS IN EFFECT. NOW, IT DOES REMAIN TO BE SEEN IF A DEAL CAN BE REACHED THAT WOULD REPORTEDLY EXTEND THE CEASE FIRE FOR 60 DAYS, GRADUALLY LIFT THAT BLOCKADE AND REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, WHERE OIL AND FERTILIZER SHIPMENTS REMAIN LARGELY STRANDED AT THIS POINT. EVEN IF THAT INITIAL AGREEMENT IS FINALIZED. ULTIMATELY, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS THAT ADDITIONAL TALKS WOULD BE NEEDED ON IRAN’S DISPUTED NUCLEAR PROGRAM. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID THAT HE WAS LOOKING TO MAKE A FINAL DETERMINATION ON A POTENTIAL DEAL WITH IRAN ON FRIDAY, BUT NO IMMEDIATE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE FOLLOWING A MEETING IN THE SITUATION ROOM IN WASHINGTON.
