JUST IN: Trump says US 'semi-negotiating' with Iran as regime issues NEW DEMANDS

AMONG THE TOP CONTENDERS. TURNING TO MIDDLE EAST, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS U.S. IS. SEMINEGOTIATING WITH IRAN AND. REGIME UNVEIL NEW LIST OF DEMAND. TO OPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. >> LIVE IN TEL AVIV WITH THE. LATEST, GOOD MORNING, TREY. YINGST. >> Trey: DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS. UNDER GOING IRANIAN OFFICIALS. ARE MAKING NEW DEMAND.

SUPREME NATIONAL SECURITY. COUNCIL ISSUED FRESH STATEMENT. CALLING ON UNITED STATES TO. PERMANENTLY END THE WAR AND. COMPENSATE IRAN BEFORE THE. STRAIT WILL REOPEN. IRAN FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS IF A. DEAL IS REACHED IT DOESN'T MEAN. THE STRAIT WILL STAY OPEN. >> TALK SAYS WITH OMAN ARE ABOUT. TEMPORARY ROUTE. WE ARE CLOSE TO THE ROUTE, IT. DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN. REOPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THAT IS DEPENDENCE ON OTHER.

FACTORS, VIOLATION OF MEMORANDUM. OF UNDERSTANDING BY AMERICA. SHOULD BE COMPENSATED. >> Trey: DETAILS BEING WORKED. OUT, U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE REMAVEN. IN EFFECT. AS OF AUGUST 9, 55 VESSELS HAVE. BEEN RE -- WE ARE LOW KEYING IT, WE ARE ONLY SEMINEGOTIATING WITH. THEM. THE PRESIDENT SAID WE'RE WATCH.

ING IRAN AND THE FACT THEY HAVE. NO MONEY. U.S. PRESSURE ON IRAN WILL. CONTINUE UNTIL AN AGREEMENT IS. REACHED. >> THEY ARE HURTING IN A BIG WAY. AND WANT THIS TO BE OVER. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THEY ARE. ABLE, THEIR SYSTEM IS ABLE TO. GIVE THINGS NECESSARY FOR US TO. BE HAPPY, FOR US TO FEEL WE'VE. GOTTEN WHAT HE WOO NEED OUT OF. THIS PARTICULAR ENGAGEMENT, THAT. IS STILL TO BE DETERMINED, I. THINK WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS LAST.

FEW DAYS. >> RIGHT NOW U.S. PLAYBOOK. APPEAR TO BE LETTING IRAN. SUFFER.
