What our diplomatic team, besides Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, looks like if we do manage to get Iran back to the table, even in the next year or two before President Trump is out of office, and hopefully we have a Democratic president coming in.

It took 18 months to negotiate the JCPOA.

And we're talking about, you know, this idea that deals can be done with these people who are quite emboldened at this moment in like, you know, you have 10 to 14 days to sort this out.

And you have to pay more as a result of it because they're all getting their energy through the straits.

Okay, let's take a quick break.

Stay with us.

Welcome back.

I just want to touch on a key element in this war that hasn't been mentioned yet, and that's the role of Israel in this.

So with the Italian prime minister's announcement, we're up to 26 of 27 EU member states that now support at least partially suspending their trade agreement with

With Israel, we have, you know, Bibi Netanyahu giving press conferences where he says, you know, J.D.

Vance checked in with me right after the negotiations.

I talk to them every day.

And, you know, really inextricably linking Israel and the U.S.

in this fight, which I think makes sense since it was a joint venture there.

How are you seeing Israel's role in this?

And what do you think that we should be doing about...

you know, a very clear fissure in American attitudes towards Israel on both the right and the left.

Do you think that the pursuit of destroying Hezbollah, which is what Israel's goal is in Lebanon, they don't want to destroy the Lebanese government and they are killing a lot of civilians in the meantime, which is completely unacceptable.

But the target is a known terror group.

Right.
