미, 이란 밤낮 차례로 공습 ...트럼프 "이란, 제대로 행동해야" / YTN

[Anchor] Following daytime attacks on Iranian military facilities, the U.S. military is escalating pressure by continuing military attacks at night. President Trump warned Iran to act properly, but Iran stated that it no longer needs to adhere to the peace agreement. We connect to Washington. Correspondent Hong Sang-hee! The U.S. has been continuing military attacks against Iran for five days. Did they attack at night this time, following the daytime attacks? [Reporter] Yes. The U.S. Central Command announced that it launched airstrike operations against Iran at 10:30 p.m. on the 15th, local time. This means they continued the attacks at night following the daytime assaults. The U.S. Central Command explained that the goal of this attack as well is to weaken Iran's ability to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's state-run IRNA news agency also reported that explosions believed to be U.S. military attacks continued in southern Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Khuzestan province, Chabahar, and Lasag. The U.S. naval blockade against Iran resumed yesterday, and the U.S. Central Command announced today that it sent back two merchant ships that attempted to breach the blockade. Attending an event at the Pennsylvania Army War College this afternoon (local time), President Trump responded to a question asking if he would give a deadline before attacking Iranian bridges. Let's listen. [Donald Trump / U.S. President: I don't like setting deadlines. But they know what the situation is. They would be better off staying quiet.] President Trump claimed that he is doing what previous presidents should have done, asserting that while Iran wants a deal, the decision on whether to agree will be made by the United States. Let's listen to this remark as well. [Donald Trump / U.S. President: Iran really, really wants a deal. They don't like what we are doing right now, and they want a deal.] [It remains to be seen whether we will reach an agreement with Iran or simply bring it to a close.] The U.S. Treasury Department announced today that it has sanctioned three individuals and four entities that have been supplying weapons to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and stated that it will continue to neutralize Iran's illegal overseas procurement networks. [Anchor] I understand that Iran has indicated it will not implement the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on ending the war? [Reporter] Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, the chief negotiator for the Iranian side, stated in a public statement that if the United States violates its obligations to implement the MOU, Iran has absolutely no reason to abide by the agreement. He also emphasized that the top priority is defending the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that Iran's national security depends on maintaining an Iranian-style order in the Strait of Hormuz and that they will not allow things to go according to the U.S.'s wishes. The Iranian Foreign Ministry also stated that if the U.S. violates its promises, Iran will suspend the implementation of the MOU, and that there are currently no plans to negotiate with the U.S. Let's listen to the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson. [Esmail Bagai / Spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: I described it as 'shattered into pieces,' and the Deputy Foreign Minister said it was 'destroyed.' This is because the United States began breaking its promises right from the first paragraph, the very first part of the Memorandum of Understanding.] Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf urged the Iranian people to unite, stating that the U.S. goal is the overthrow and division of the Iranian regime. However, while stating that Iran would resist U.S. military attacks, Speaker Ghalibaf also indicated that negotiation is an essential strategy, leaving the possibility of talks with the United States open. This has been a report from Washington.
