[뉴스초점] 트럼프 "휴전 끝" 선언…이란 "항복 없다" 맞불 / 연합뉴스TV (YonhapnewsTV)

[Guest: Kim Yeol-soo, Head of Security Strategy at the Korea Institute for Military Affairs] U.S. President Trump has stated that while he will continue dialogue with Iran, the ceasefire is over. As Iran counters by declaring there will be no surrender, tensions between the two nations are escalating further. We will discuss the details with Kim Yeol-soo, Head of Security Strategy at the Korea Institute for Military Affairs. [Question 1] President Trump stated, "I will continue dialogue with Iran, but the ceasefire is over." Earlier, during a meeting with the NATO Secretary General, he also remarked that the memorandum of understanding to end the war with Iran "appears to be over." How should we interpret President Trump's message? [Question 2] Iran has also expressed its determination to respond forcefully. Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf stated, "This conflict will never end with Iran's surrender." This reveals a willingness to respond with military force if necessary; will the standoff continue for the time being? [Question 3] The U.S. administration has also announced sanctions against the financiers of Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. They stated they would isolate the Iranian regime elites from the global financial system; will this serve as substantial pressure on Iran, or will it instead provoke a hardline response from Iran? [Question 4] Analysis suggests that the issue regarding the Strait of Hormuz, which was the direct trigger for this armed conflict, stems from a fundamental difference in the interpretation of the MOU between the two sides. Regarding Paragraph 5 of the MOU, the U.S. views it as a "guarantee of safe navigation," while Iran interprets it as "recognition of exclusive control." What is your opinion on this difference in interpretation? [Question 5] As the U.S. and Iran clash again over control of the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian Foreign Minister is visiting Oman, another coastal state. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is expected to be a key agenda item. Could this visit serve as an opportunity to ease tensions? [Question 6] Reports have emerged that Israel obtained intelligence regarding Iran's assassination of President Trump and passed it on to the United States. President Trump also previously mentioned directly, "My name was on their assassination list." What kind of repercussions will this have on relations between the U.S. and Iran? ▣ Subscribe to Yonhap News TV's documentary channel 'Docu-Digging'    / @docu-digging   ▣ Subscribe to Yonhap News TV YouTube Channel    / @yonhapnewstv23   ▣ The beginning of Korean news, Yonhap News TV http://www.yonhapnewstv.co.kr/
