Before we get to that, can I just say one thing?
The markets are going to try and make money out of this.
And so they're loving the volatility of the past, whatever it is, eight weeks that this has been going on, right?
Every time there's a spike in oil prices or every time there's a drop, we're seeing that kind of volatility.
But the other thing is that do you really believe that?
that let's say this is a, he'll frame this as we're gonna get the straights open and we're gonna deal with all of those other complicated things later on.
And there's an argument.
I've heard diplomats say they were crazy to go to Islamabad and try and put everything on the table and deal with everything in the space of a one-day meeting.
You just can't do that.
It's far too complicated.
So actually it's better to deal with the urgent thing first, which is the straight, and then deal with the other stuff later.
But do you think Trump is going to have the patience and the engagement and the involvement to deal with that other stuff?
Do you really think that if he gets this and he gets what he wants, which is I'm out of there, it's done, let's go back to talking about the stuff I want to talk about, that his attention span will carry on?
I mean, that is one piece of it that needs to be reconciled.
There are so many different pieces of this that need to be reconciled.
The fact that they still have half of their missiles underground in these missile cities.
The fact that actually all we're doing is saying, okay, you have to delay the
enrichment for 12 years.
Well, they need 12 years anyway to rebuild the facilities.
So that kind of suits Iran fine.
