These are the points that are the basis on which we agreed to a ceasefire.

It is something that is reasonable and can be easily dispensed with.

It's very much like fake news CNN last night headlining a source that had no power or authority to write a letter claiming great authority, President Trump.

Okay, so he is saying that the Iranians are putting out a 10 point plan that is not the 10 point plan that was the basis for negotiations.

Now, J.D.

Vance, who, again, we will find out about his negotiating acumen, I suppose, throughout this process.

He's been put in the loop with regards to this negotiation.

He was apparently on the cutting edge of negotiating this ceasefire.

And he says that the people on the fringes of the Iranian system are trying to create propaganda here about this supposed 10-point plan that would basically have the United States surrendering.

Okay, so again, he is saying the same thing that Trump is saying, same thing that Caroline Leavitt is saying, same thing the Israelis are saying, which is that this never included Lebanon.

It didn't suggest that they get to keep their nukes or their ballistic missiles or anything like that.

Vance continued, again, this is on Wednesday, saying the United States has the leverage here, which of course is true.

It turns out you have the leverage when you have the world's most powerful military.

And Vance said that the ceasefire never included Lebanon.

Okay, so first of all, I should point out there's no such thing as a legitimate misunderstanding here.

The Iranians want every ceasefire to include regional domination, and the United States does not.

It'll be interesting to see whether that gap is bridged in any way.

It's not a legitimate misunderstanding.

That is the entire gap in negotiations.

Does Iran, are they willing to give up control of the Strait of Hormuz, and are they willing to get rid of their nuclear program?
