Vance, right?

But...

America is quite far from Pakistan.

So by the time he's got J.D.

Vance on a plane and the Iranians go, no, thanks, we're not turning up.

That's humiliating.

That's really embarrassing.

J.D.

Vance doesn't want to arrive.

In Pakistan, he doesn't want to be there, seeming all keen and ready to go.

And the Iranians kind of go, we're not quite there yet.

So we can't really do that.

So I guess with the limited time he had, he had to say, yes, there is going to be a ceasefire.

So the trouble is that the Iranians don't really believe Trump when he says there's going to be a ceasefire, because he said it before and he's normally got a bomb in his back pocket.

Right.

So Iran's sitting there going, well, OK.

Yeah, you're just playing for time now.

You say there's going to be a ceasefire before you, what, sort of pull back the catapult and fire us again.

And actually, to that point, Iran has now attacked three ships in the Strait of Hormuz within the last, you know, few hours.
