She apologizes to the Iraqis and reassures them that the building is very safe. She asks them to stay until the threat has been lifted. To put them at ease, she speaks a bit of Arabic and the Prime Minister apologizes to her for bringing his translator, since he did not know that she knows how to speak his language.
