So I think there are multiple reasons here.

First of all, let me set the scene this way.

There was a story in the New York Times that came out about the decision-making that led Trump to go to war.

Well, that was a Vance lick.

That's right.

So this is now the force, the political force within the MAGA movement who opposed this war.

So when it came time to set up the delegation, there was consensus on both sides.

The Iranians signaled that they had lost confidence in Steve Butkoff and Jared Kushner because they had been involved in two rounds of negotiation.

And both times, Trump went to war in the middle of the negotiation.

So they wanted somebody different.

For Trump, who better?

As a signal, then Vance, here he's sending the person who opposed the war, would be most anxious to make a deal.

And the Iranians signaled that they were happy to have Vance on the other side of the table.

So what can I say except that I was at a conference in London.

It's called the London Defense Conference.

Just came back on Saturday night.

And there at that conference, among many others, were some Trump officials.

So that's different right from...

From the normal.

So more than one, Peter.
