And now we're hearing more and more of it.
But that's mostly because of how much Iran gets upfront.
Well, the biggest upfront benefit, Natalie, is the blockade goes away.
And that American blockade, to remind you, was a blockade against any shipping traffic coming into Iran and any going out.
Right.
So it basically bottled up all of their oil shipments.
That's all over.
So they can start shipping and money will be flowing to Iran again through those sales.
And that all happens immediately.
Now, once they get that oil money flowing, obviously they've got a lot of people suffering.
They have a lot of rebuilding to go do.
But one of the big concerns is once the money comes in, it will probably be spent in part
on rebuilding many of their military facilities that were destroyed during the war.
Money is fungible.
And as soon as it comes in and there's nothing in the agreement that restricts where that money goes.
Well, not right away, Natalie, but very soon.
They begin to get access to some of that $24, $25 billion in frozen assets, Iranian money that has been locked up in financial institutions for years.
And they've been deeply interested in getting it back.
It is the priority that you hear most often.
