So suddenly the question came, why would they reopen this in a deal with the president over the weekend?
And the answer is that really both sides are suffering right now.
The Iranians are suffering because the president imposed a blockade that kept chips from going in and out of Iranian ports.
And the U.S.
was suffering because gas prices have gone so high.
And so this deal is really just about opening the strait again, getting the oil flowing, bringing down the gas prices.
It kicks down the road all of the harder issues about Iran's nuclear program, their missile program, that the president was saying until last week had to be resolved in this negotiation.
And now what they're saying is, now, on second thought, let's get the oil flowing again, and we'll worry about that all later.
So his phrase was that the U.S.
had obliterated it, and that made you think that it was gone forever.
What he really did was bury it.
The United States sent B-2 bombers in June of 2025.
They used deep-penetrating bombs to hit three major nuclear sites.
And from all accounts we've gotten since, they did a pretty good job.
They collapsed...
those sites, and including one in Isfahan, where there are 970 pounds of highly enriched uranium.
This is the stuff that in a few days or a few weeks, you could turn into the kind of fuel you would use in a nuclear weapon.
It would take you longer to build the weapon itself.
So what do they want?
