From the transcript
The countdown is back on, ladies and gents, stay 27th of the war with Iran, and you are in for a wild ride with this one. When Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Tehran expired on Monday morning, the president didn't follow through. Instead, he posted details of negotiations with Iran that Tehran is still dying, have even taken place.
Nobody's even entirely sure who's actually running the show over there right now, which can make negotiations just a little bit tricky, cuts it. Talks or no talks, it's been full steam ahead, especially in terms of American military buildup in the region.
An additional troop deployment was announced yesterday, with a marine deployment set to arrive by Friday, right on schedule for the administration's newly extended deadline.
