US-Iran ceasefire set to EXPIRE without peace deal

REASON, AND SOMETIMES YOU KIND. OF NEED THEM. [LAUGHTER]. GRIFF: LET'S GO TO THE MIDDLE. EAST. THE 60-DAY CEASESEFIRE AGREEMENT. WITH IRAN EXPIRES TOMORROW AS. TENSIONS REMAIN VERY HIGH. RACHEL: MADELEINE RIVERA HAS THE. LATEST FROM WASHINGTON D.C. GOOD MORNING, MADDIE. >> Reporter: GOOD MORNING. THAT CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT IS. ENDING WITHOUT A DEAL TO END THE. WAR. IT HAD BEEN INTERRUPTED BY. MULTIPLE DAYS OF STRIKES BETWEEN. THE TWO SIDES. REUTERS REPORTS BECAUSE OF THAT. PER AN IRANIAN SOURCE, THERE IS. NOW NO TALK OF AN EXTENSION AS. THEY ACCUSE THE U.S. OF. VIOLATING THE CEASEFIRE.

AGREEMENT. THE U.S., THOUGH, SAYS THIS WAS. ALL INSTIGATED BY IRAN WHEN IT. STARTED HITTING SHIPS TRANSITING. THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THE PRESIDENT THEN STRONGLY. CLAIMED IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY. THAT THE CEASEFIRE WAS OVER. WHICH WAS THEN FOLLOWED BY THOSE. STRIKES. THE U.S. PAUSED ITS ATTACKS AT. THE END OF JULY IN ORDER TO GIVE. DIPLOMACY SOME ROOM AS. ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAY, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS THE. TIT FOR TAT HAD DEPLETED. MUNITIONS, POTENTIALLY. CONSTRAINING THE PRESIDENT. OF THE PRESIDENT HAS PUSHED BACK.

AGAINST THOSE REPORTS. STILL, HE'S TURNING TO ECONOMIC. PRESSURE NOW TO TO INFLICT PAIN. ON THE REGIME. >> WE'RE CAPABLE OF REALLY. DESTROYING THE WHOLE PLACE. WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WE HAVE GOT ECONOMIC SANCTIONS. AGAINSNST THEM LIKE NOBODY'S EVR. HAD BEFORE. WE OWN, IN THE TRUE SENSUOUS WE. OWN THE HORMUZ STRAIT -- SENSE. IF THEY HIT, WE WOULD HIT BACK A. HUNDRED TIMES HARDER. >> Reporter: FORMER CROWN. PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI POSTED TAKE.

BACK IRAN WITH DIALOGUES FROM. IRANIAN GROUPS WITH. CONNECTIONS -- PART OF THE. EFFORT TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL. FORCES, CARRY THE VOICE OF THE. IRANIAN NATION TO THE WORLD AND. TAKE ACTION TO RECLAIM IRAN. DURING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPEECH. ON FRIDAY, HE ALLUDED DOT.COM. APPLICATIONS IN THE TALKS SAYING. IT'S DIFFICULT TO NEGOTIATE WITH. A FRACTURED LEADERSHIP. CHARLIE, RACHEL AND GRIFF. RACHEL: THANK YOU, MADDIE. CHARLIE: INTERESTING COMMENT. THERE FROM REZA PAHLAVI, NOTING.

THAT THE PEOPLE OF IRAN HAVE. BEEN NOTICEABLY, YOU KNOW, FOR A. LOT OF PERHAPS GOOD REASONS. GIVEN THE FACT THAT MANY OF THEM. HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THE REGIME, BUT INTERESTING THAT HE'S. CALLING ON THEM TO RISE UP. BECAUSE, OF COURSE, THAT IS THE. BIGGESTST ANSWER TO THIS --. BIGGEST ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. RACHEL: YEAH. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS OFTENTIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF REPORTS. OUT OF WASHINGTON WITH ABOUT. THIS AND THOSE WHO ARE. NEGOTIATING, ISRAEL KEEPS. KILLING THE NEGOTIATORS, SO IT'S.

REALLY HARD TO COME TO A DEAL. WITH SOME OF THESE NEGOTIATORS. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS WE'VE. BEEN JUST TALKING ABOUT THE. MIDTERMS, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A. PATH BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF --. TO VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICANS. AS MUCH OF A SLOG AS IT WILL BE. TO GET THERE IN NOVEMBER. IF THE PRESIDENT COULD WRAP UP. THIS WAR, IF HE COULD, YOU KNOW, DECLARE VICTORY, YOU KNOW, AND. WE ALL KNOW THAT THE NUCLEAR. SITE WAS, YOU KNOW, VERY MUCH. DAMAGED IF NOT SET BACK, YOU. KNOW, MANY YEARS IN "OPERATION.

MIDNIGHT HAMMER" LAST SUMMER. AND AS HE MENTIONED JUST ALEXIS. McADAMS THAT THERE'S BEEN A. LOT OF ECONOMIC PRESSURE IF. PLACED AS NEVER BEFORE ON IRAN, I THINK THERE'S A LOT THAT HAS. BEEN DONE. HE COULD DECLARE VICTORY, HE. COULD MOVE ON, AND I THINK IT. WOULD IMPACT PRICES, OIL AND GAS. PRICES. AND I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE. NOVEMBER A LOT EASIER. BUT WE HAVE TO GET OUR PARTNER, ISRAEL, ONBOARD AS WELL. THEY'VE SAID THAT NO MATTER WHAT.

DEAL THE PRESIDENT PUTS FORWARD, THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WHAT. THEY WANT TO DO WHICH IS, YOU. KNOW, WAR AND BOMBING IN. LEBANON. AND THAT'S BEEN A REAL STICKING. POINT FOR THE IRANIANS IN COMING. TO AN AGREEMENT --. GRIFF: IT IS. BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH POINTING. OUT BOTH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND. VICE PRESIDENT VANCE HAVE SAID. IN RECENT DAYS THAT IT IS THE. IRANIAN NEGOTIATORS, RIGHT? IT'S ARAGHCHI, THE FOREIGN. MINISTER AND OTHERS, THAT ARE. NOT WILLING TO COME TO TO THE. NEGOTIATING TABLE RIGHT NOW. SO WE'LL SEE IF THIS DEADLINE.

HAS AN.
