And so on one level, you can look at this and say,
The Iranians have managed to set things back to the state that they were prior to the war, but with more leverage.
On the other side, Iranians' prize here would be a comprehensive lifting of sanctions.
Yes, they're going to get some of their assets unfrozen, but it's really a relatively small amount of money compared to what they would get
if the sanctions were lifted.

I'm skeptical of that for reasons that you guys have talked about before.
The midterm elections are coming up.
And the reality is that Iran fought the United States for roughly 100 days, both militarily and diplomatically, to a standoff where the president of the United States is desperate to try to spin capitulation as victory.

But behind the scenes, there's been a flurry of activity involving Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, reports of money already changing hands.
