Iran wants all U.S.

military bases in the region to be removed.

I mean, just things that are kind of non-starters or absolutely the opposite of what Trump has been saying.

You know, it's just a PR battle that Trump is trying to have over this.

And I think it does kind of fit his MO that while there is not, you know, any clarification or anything black and white.

about what is actually in this or if there is anything at all.

Trump is definitely boasting of something that he thinks the public wants or something that's going to perhaps help him or something that he wants, trying to project this into reality when there are really serious questions about whether any of this or much of this is really fact yet.

Again, a lot of confusion here, and we don't know precisely what's happening.

The U.S.

and Iran appear to agree that the Strait of Hormuz is supposed to be opened during the ceasefire, and then obviously they would try to negotiate that into a permanent arrangement.

But one of the points Iran says it wants is that it will regulate the strait in the future.

That would be a change.

The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway.

It's not controlled legally by anybody.

And oil has flowed freely through the strait for decades.

There's always been this concern that something like this could happen.

You have to go back to the late 80s or the last time you had any disruption in the flow of oil there.

So if Iran is insisting on regulating the flow and it's been charging up to $2 million to allow tankers through and it's allowing some friendly tankers through, um,

That's not something that the U.S.

or other countries would be would be willing to accept.
