Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

And let's just talk high level.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

Like, what is this about?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

The president ultimately failed in the negotiations with Islamabad.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

And let's be very clear here.

J.D.

Vance had to call Trump some six to seven times while he was in Islamabad.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Effectively, he was dispatched there with no real ability to have a mandate or ability to make a deal.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

He has to constantly...

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

called Donald Trump.

The Iranians have come out and put out multiple statements.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

They were close to some sort of memorandum of understanding until Trump shifted the goalposts at the last minute.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

This is a red line that Donald Trump has drawn, which is entirely ridiculous, which says no enrichment of any kind,

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

which would be surrender for the nation of Iran, and they could never maintain even sort of latent nuclear deterrent.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

They do not want to end up like Gaddafi, would you?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

And so they see very clearly this is worth going to war over because giving this up is actually the end of our regime after we've been attacked twice by this nation under the cover of diplomacy.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

You also have Trump...

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

who has moved the goalposts so many different times, he could sign this, they could give up their enrichment, and they could bomb and destroy them, not to mention the Israelis.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Remember, zero enrichment is an Israeli demand, which was adopted by the president of the United States.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

It was never, never a real demand from the president, even going back into June.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

So whenever they say no nuclear weapon, what they mean is no enrichment, again, of any kind.
