Iran Peace Deal Announcement & Global Reactions 0:00 Hello. I'm Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council and host of Washington Watch. Thanks for tuning in. Every day, we offer a biblical perspective on the news as well as insightful interviews with elected0:11 leaders, newsmakers, and culture experts. We have a great program planned for you today, but 1st, get up to speed on the top headlines with Washington Stan's news brief.0:26 Welcome to the Washington Stan news brief. I'm Casey Harper bringing you today's big stories. We may finally have a peace deal to end the war in Iran. President Donald Trump attended the g 7 summit in France on0:38 Monday, where he said an agreement with Iran was signed the day before, and the text of the deal will be released sometime after a formal signing on Friday. The president said vice president, JD Vance, would attend the0:50 formal signing in Geneva, Switzerland.0:53 Signed. The deal is all signed. And the Strait is already partially opened. As you know, they're doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they've already found.1:05 But it's essentially, ships are starting to go out. Now. On Friday, it'll be completely open.1:12 Arab countries and officials welcomed the agreement announced by the US and Iran. Jordan and the Gulf states praised the deal. Rising oil prices had threatened the global economy and Republicans' chances in the midterms.1:23
1:36 Japan, and the US.
1:38 I think yesterday was signed, a very important, agreement, a a peace deal with Iran. And it's a very important 1 because 1st, it will then fix the nuclear issue,
1:50 and and it's a very important matter for for peace of the whole world. And, and it will reopen almost. It will provide peace in Lebanon. And so we are ready to,
2:02 take our fair share of the burden and be part of the the commitment of the international community in order to support this deal.
2:09 Some critics said the deal was too favorable to Iran and pointed out, hey. Iran has a history of not following through on these deals. But without the full text of the deal, it's hard to know. Israeli leaders
2:21 reacted with skepticism to the deal. The president's relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu is frayed as well of late. The president called the Israeli prime minister crazy recently, 1 of several insults.
2:33 Netanyahu has continued to fire on Hezbollah in Lebanon over Trump's protest, though that seemed to ease today. Hezbollah is a terror group that has a long long targeted Israel with missiles from southern Lebanon.
2:45 But Iran has made stopping Israel's attacks on Hezbollah a deal breaker in these peace negotiations. Whether Israel will come on board remains to be seen. Leaders have said they will keep,
2:57 troops in occupied southern Lebanon. Well, discussing the next steps on Iran will certainly be 1 of several issues the global leaders will wrestle with during the summit, which will also seek common ground on the war in
3:09 Ukraine, tackling global economic imbalances, and sourcing critical minerals outside of the dominant supplier, which is, of course, China. But president Trump spoke today on the Russia Ukraine war saying
3:21 both sides may be open to a peace deal.
3:24 We had a a very good conversation yesterday with president Zelensky and president Putin, and I see maybe we can do something there. I really
3:36 do. I think they're both open to it. So, you know, now that this is finished, we're gonna be focusing on that and see if we can get that 1 done. 25000 people a month are dying, mostly
3:48 mostly soldiers, and that shouldn't happen. But I had 2 very good conversations yesterday. We'll be talking about it.
3:55 Zelensky will be joining g 7 leaders tomorrow for a meeting on peacemaking and security in Ukraine. Well, for our last story, some more news from across the pond. The United Kingdom has decided to ban social
4:07 media for children under the age of 16. British prime minister Keir Starmer cited several reasons for that, including the growing consensus that social media makes children unhappy, easier for bullies to
4:19 abuse, and that it's designed to be addictive. The social media apps naturally pushed back saying this policy will not do much to protect kids. Well, that is today's news.
4:31 I'm Casey Harper. You can dive deeper at the Washington Stand, which is Family Research Council's outlet for news and commentary from a biblical worldview. As for us, we're back next time with more stories that matter.
4:53 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington, DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and sound bites into conversations with our nation's leaders and
5:04 newsmakers, all from a biblical worldview. Washington Watch with Tony Perkins starts now.
5:11 I'm very happy to, say very we've been signed. The deal's all signed. And the straight is already partially opened. As you know, they're doing a little hunting
5:23 for a couple of mines that they've already found. But it's essentially ships are starting to go out. Now on Friday, it'll be completely open.
5:35 How was president Donald Trump earlier today at the g 7 summit in France discussing the agreement with Iran? Welcome to this Monday, June 15th edition of Washington Watch. I'm your host, Tony Perkins. Thanks for
5:47 joining us. Well, coming up, president Trump announced today that an agreement has been reached with Iran, but key details have yet to be released to congress or the American public. Meanwhile, Iranian state
5:58 media is portraying the deal as a major victory for Tehran. Now Israeli leaders are expressing concern over the agreement and its potential implications for Israel's security. Doctor Michael Rubin will join us
6:10 to discuss what we know about the deal and what it could mean for US Israel relations. And later, Greg Scott, vice president of 17 92 Exchange, joins us to discuss a growing
6:22 effort to hold American corporations accountable for funding so called gender transition procedures for minors. All of that and more straight ahead.
6:36 Well, as mentioned, president Trump today announced that he and vice president JD Vance have electronically signed a an agreement ending the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and launching a 60 day negotiation
6:47 period focused on Iran's nuclear program. Tournament now to discuss this is Washington stand reporter Casey Harper. So, Casey, this has been developing throughout the day. What do we know thus far?
6:59 Yeah. That's right, Tony. I mean, it seems that we might actually have a real deal after so many false starts and, empty promises and pledges of a deal. Now the vice president and the president, as you said, they
7:09 virtually signed the agreement. It reopens the Strait of Hormuz. It ends the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, which you can have a big impact on, global energy prices, but also energy prices for Americans right here
7:20 at home. Now we don't have details full details of the agreement. President said those will not be coming out until maybe Friday or later. But he did say that there would not be tolls on ships passing through the Strait
7:32 of Hormuz, which is an important detail because there's a fear that Iran will have control of the Strait and they could actually exact those tolls on ships coming through.
7:40 Alright. We're gonna talk a little bit more about that with, doctor Rubin. Alright. Other international news. President Trump, is in France as we showed a clip earlier for the g 7. He left last night after the big fight
7:52 on the White House lawn. That is the UCF USC fight. So what's expected there with the g 7 leaders?
8:00 Yeah. Well, the president it's all Iran, Iran, Iran today. The president talked about Iran in his visit to France for the g 7 summit and announced it announced the end to the conflict with Iran. In fact, here's what
8:11 president Trump had to say about the deal while speaking next to French president Emmanuel Macron.
8:16 The main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agreed to that with strong policing powers, and they won't have a nuclear weapon, which is what it was all about because
8:28 they probably would've used it if they had it.
8:31 Now that deal with Iran, critical minerals, and the war in Ukraine are among the top issues to be expected in the summit that goes through, the 17th this week. But not to mention, Tony, something that, you've mentioned
8:43 but is a big sticking point here is how is Israel going to ultimately react to this? Netanyahu has refrained from criticizing the deal, but even today said he himself doesn't know what's in it.
8:54 Alright. Let's bring it back to Washington. Debate over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act continues. Just as it appeared that there was going to be a path forward for its renewal, theShow more
