make as the basis of negotiations going forward 10 points that are as you said a complete capitulation of american power in that region so what the president said to be clear his own words was these 10 points not 15 these 10 points are a workable basis on which to negotiate let's just i'm just going to briefly recite what those 10 points are i'll compress and condense them
The United States removes all forces from all bases in the Middle East.
The United States and its allies, including Israel, agree to never attack Iran or its proxy terror forces ever again.
The United States lifts all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran.
The United States unfreezes all overseas property held by Iranian leaders.
The United States pays war reparations to Iran.
Iran is allowed to control the Strait of Hormuz and charge every ship $2 million to transit it.
And then finally, silence on the question of nuclear enrichment.
I mean, this document is what the previous Ayatollah could only have dreamed of as a basis for negotiations.
That's right.
These 10 points, it's not that they're gonna become the final terms of an international treaty.
I think Congress would revolt, allies would revolt.
They cannot become instantiated into a treaty.
But I think you said it quite rightly, Ben, a series of conditions that had they been, for example, introduced into the United Nations, the United States would previously have vetoed them, right?
They would never have been allowed to come into the United Nations.
They are now the anchor point
for a new conception of regional power in the Middle East and the basis upon which the United States and its allies now has to negotiate, which is why I have said that this president is now the first president in American history to start and then lose a war by himself.
And that's a mark of shame that he's going to have to carry forward into history.
I have very little confidence that this president or the team around him can architect anything materially better in the next year or two.
But I do think it's important that as Democrats, as the ideas primary begins for 2028, that we do start to lay down a national security vision for this part of the world.
