He wants to expand the state.
He wants to.
give the state more control over Peru's natural resources, review the tax system.
He says that this will address inequality and redistribute wealth, although some of his policies have certainly spooked some of the financial markets, even though his supporters say that they will address inequality and help to redistribute wealth more fairly.
So we do have two very different visions for the country.
And I think looking at how close it is suggests that this country is incredibly polarised still.
We've had a couple of different posts from Donald Trump saying, for example, that there will be 50% tariffs imposed on countries who supply military weapons, for example, to Iran.
Also saying that Iran will have no nuclear material.
Something that we heard from Pete Hegseth as well is this idea that we've heard from Trump too, that they're essentially going to get Iran to hand over nuclear material, nuclear dust as they call it,
to the United States.
Now, they haven't been particularly specific about what that might entail, but Pete Hegseth seemed to suggest in this press conference that if Iran doesn't do that, then they know exactly what Iran has and where it is and that they will essentially go in and take it out.
Now, it isn't clear where negotiations may be about this, but we do know from what Donald Trump has said previously on this matter that the US understands any enriched uranium that Iran may possess is buried, for example, deep under rock and underground on the mountains in some cases, and therefore would be pretty difficult to extract.
So I think the suggestion seems to be that if Iran doesn't simply hand it over, there could well be quite significant further military action in future.
Yeah, I think so.
I think in the short term, this ceasefire has achieved what the US initially wanted, which was the Strait of Hormuz being reopened.
But we have to remember that is a benefit that existed before this war even started.
Iran only closed the Strait of Hormuz as leverage in response to attacks from the US and Israel.
So while Iran has...
significantly been weakened following weeks of this war.
The US and Iran are now negotiating things that Iran wants and didn't really have leverage on in the way it does now.
