Newscast · Who Won The US-Iran Deal? · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

Israel, of course, the prime minister is facing elections.

He's facing a hammering at home over this deal.

People saying it was good you started it, but you didn't finish it.

And then the president here expressing his frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu, telling him he doesn't have to knock down apartment blocks to kill one person, even suggesting, extraordinarily suggesting this idea that the Syrians could go and sort out Lebanon.

I mean, which is, you know, obviously unthinkable, I mean, in all sorts of ways.

So, yeah, so that is the big unknown about the future in terms of the stability of this whole deal.

Yeah, it's interesting the spin here on that is that, look, you know, when this discussion takes place after 60 days, none of those other countries in the Gulf are going to allow Iran to charge.

That's their spin here.

Now,

That still leaves open the distinct possibility that there could be a position we get to after this war where there are these charges.

And that would be completely different to what we had before the war.

Part of me wonders, of course, because the US isn't all that dependent on the oil that goes through those straits at all.

Part of me wonders...

whether there's a sort of competitive advantage for the US.

I mean, maybe that's too Machiavellian, but maybe there's some sort of advantage in that ending up being the case.

Who knows?

In other words, make China's oil imports more expensive because America doesn't get them by that route.

It would, wouldn't it?

So who knows what the thinking is behind that?
