So I don't think Trump will allow the Israelis to wreck Israel.

the ceasefire.

They may try anyway, but I don't think so.

Then the $64,000 question is, what will happen in the negotiations over the nuclear issue, control the strait, reparations, overall sanctions package, and so forth and so on?

And there, I find it hard to believe that you're going to get a meaningful deal.

Trump likes to say that, remember, this is Trump speaking, it took many years to negotiate the JCPOA.

That was the original nuclear deal.

The one he ran against and hated?

Yeah.

And by the way, the one he walked away from in 2018.

And he now says, you know, when people say, why don't you have a nuclear deal now?

He says, you have to understand it takes many years to negotiate a nuclear deal.

Of course, he's correct.

But what you want to ask yourself is, what does that mean?

Boy, that's chutzpah.

Yeah, exactly.

So...

And by the way, this is a nightmare for the Israelis.

I mean, if you want to think about what this war means for the Israelis, right?

They were so much better off with the JCPOA.
