I think this peace deal, this deal...
This one page deal is basically needs to have Donald Trump writing on it in a big Sharpie.
I want out of Iran, whatever it costs, because all of the things that he said he was going to achieve at the beginning of the war, when he made that video, went back and watched it.
You remember that video he made the first night of the war?
He set out five goals.
No nuclear weapons, no missiles, no Navy.
No support for proxies and regime change.
The only thing that's actually been achieved at the moment is that they have destroyed the Iranian Navy.
None of the others have been achieved.
So we're in a position where we might be able to about to sign a peace deal because Trump is tired of it, because Project Freedom threatened the ceasefire.
It could have forced him back to bombing, which we all know he doesn't want.
And the stars may be aligned for Trump to call it quits, declare a win and move on.
But I don't think anyone should mistake this for a win because far too much money, blood and treasure has been spent on this to be back at the position we were in when Barack Obama signed the JCPOA.
What do you reckon?
What's interesting about this deal is it doesn't have Vance's name on it.
We're going to talk about Vance and Rubio in a minute, but this is being put on Witkoff and Jared.
So I don't know whether Vance has pulled himself out of this because he doesn't think there's a deal to be made and because this is a farce of a deal.
I think there is a potential.
I was speaking to Mike McCaul, the former ambassador to Russia, who's kind of plugged in on all of this this morning.
And he said, listen, he thinks there's going to be so much pushback against this because however much Fox News tries to paint this as a win, it is so clearly not a win for the United States that he wouldn't be surprised if we wake up tomorrow morning and Trump says, actually, that's off the table because it's a laughable idea that this could possibly be painted as victory after everything America's put into this.
