Because, you know, first of all, Donald Trump has now not once but twice entered into negotiations with the Iranians and then just attacked them.

But the fact that he would even enter into negotiations with this starting point, coming from what the negotiations were leading into this war, where essentially he's saying, we concede everything we wanted plus more.

Plus, we're leaving the region.

Plus, we have to rein in Israel's ability – Israel attacking Hezbollah.

We have to get that done?

I mean – now, I have heard, according to some of the reporting Jeremy Scahill has done at Dropsite News, he did say, like, they were a little bit more –

There was some wiggle room on the reparations for war damage, and the Iranians had expressed that if they were willing to charge a fee for traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, they'd be willing to use that.

that uh you know revenue to rebuild the country or something like that so they're being they're being good sports about it here but like look first of all okay we don't know exactly what's going to happen here we don't know exactly what trump's plan is is this a decoy of some sort still that is possible but

It is such a tremendous walk down from where Donald Trump has been over the last few weeks.

It is hard to imagine that he's saying now without saying it directly in a kind of way where most of the American public doesn't really know what this 10 point plan is.

And they just say, oh, Donald Trump just announced a ceasefire or something like that.

Oh, we're working on a deal.

But

From everything that's being said, at least on the Iranian side and what Donald Trump said is the start of the framework here.

This is not only a deal that concedes every last one of the war efforts being unachieved.

It's something that's so it's giving so much to the Iranians, given what the status quo is, that it's hard for any of us to imagine that Donald Trump would even be capable of pulling this off.

How is he possibly going to be able to sit here and say, wait a minute, so the result of this is that we have to leave the entire region.

You know how I told you they have to have no enriched uranium?

They're still going to have enriched uranium.

Remember how I said they have to give up all their intercontinental ballistic missiles?
