The sun is shining after what it seems like day after day after day after day after rain.

So it is all good.

You have it right, but let me just put a slightly more optimistic spin on this.

I'm going to start where you started.

Both of them are running out of time.

And that's why I think we are closer to what we would call a framework agreement, but that framework is a little more in it.

And they're fighting about the details of how you open the Straits of Hormuz, but there's an agreement.

that they're going to open the Straits of Hormuz, right?

So that's progress.

Secondly, they're arguing fiercely about Iran's nuclear program, but there's a consensus now, this one last written down, that Iran will reiterate its ritual statement, we will not, we will not, okay, I don't have to finish the sentence on that one.

But beyond that, that they are going to turn over countries

to turn over or reduce the enriched nuclear uranium so that it cannot be used to break out for a bomb.

They're going to do it one way or another.

Iran is insisting that it be done at home inside Iran with inspectors.

The United States wants it shipped out.

But buried in all that noise is that one ton of enriched uranium

uranium is going to be no longer available as enriched uranium to allow for a breakout to the bomb.

So there's not nothing there in both cases.

Yeah.

You know, Rudyard, I never thought regime change was very likely.
