Great news this evening that there's been a two-week ceasefire agreed upon tentatively between us and the Iranians.
It's unconfirmed yet if the Iranians have accepted this deal as well, but I hope that they have.
It's absolutely essential that we ensure that the Israelis do not sabotage this two-week ceasefire or eventually the lasting peace that we're trying to achieve with the Iranians.
We're on the cusp of being able to have the Strait of Hormuz reopened.
to hopefully start to get the world energy supply and commerce back online.
The last thing we need is the Israelis doing what they have done in past negotiations and targeting the negotiators or taking a series of strikes that escalates the conflict.
In order to ensure that we can restrain the Israelis, we actually have to start removing features of the military support that we give to them.
We have to take away enough from them that they simply cannot go on the offense, that they're using all their military capabilities that we provide for them and that they have organically.
for the defense of their country and not for offensive operations inside of Iran.
It's absolutely critical that we take this step and don't just take Israel's word for it, that they agree to this ceasefire simply because they have a very bad track record of adhering to these deals.
We also have to keep in mind that Israel has a different strategic outcome than we do.
Us working towards any kind of a deal with the Iranian government works against the Israeli strategic objectives of toppling this government completely and totally.
We have to recognize that in order to properly address Israel, because Israel could spoil any peace that President Trump is working to achieve.
No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander in chief.
President Trump forged this moment.
Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.
As the president truth this morning, a big day for world peace.
Iran wants it to happen.
Yes.
Thank you, Secretary Hexeth.
