They keep saying that there's a deal.
They keep saying that they've agreed to do something with their uranium, et cetera.
The only people who've never said that are the Iranians.
And since they're the ones who are completely in the driver's seat right now, I think their deal is the one that is going to emerge.
And mostly right now, what's happening is Iran is just shaking Trump down for money.
And by the way, money for nothing.
I mean, basically, they were demanding unfreezing of billions of dollars worth of assets.
The reporting on this has just been terrible.
This is where they will open the strait.
And so the New York Times keeps blaring the headlines, deal to reopen the strait.
And I really just think it's very important to focus very specifically on what the Iranians mean by opening the strait.
It'll be open under new management, under Iranian control.
which whether they choose to charge tolls or not in the first 60 days, they're going to wind up charging for it.
And in any case, more importantly, they're going to use their control of the strait as leverage against every single nation in the world, which is a disaster for Israel and the United States.
This is a real problem for the media, and I just think in the Trump era, and they just have never been able to solve it.
You know, Trump has been absolutely brilliant.
I have to just take my hat off to him in one respect.
He has controlled the markets.
throughout this entire process and kept the futures price of oil low by repeatedly saying that we're about to have a deal and then the markets respond and are very happy about that.
Now, this wouldn't be possible
