I think the reality, though, is that Wyckoff has handled this portfolio for over a year and we don't have a deal.

And Kushner is obviously seen as very tight with Netanyahu.

: yeah I suppose I mean my basic cut is that they're going to have to deal with the iranians the way that the iranians.

David Kramer, Ph.D.

David Kramer, Ph.D.

: From the administration that have been leaked to places like axios or the same set of demands zero enrichment no ballistic missiles, these are things that the regime.

would rather fight and die over than concede.

If they have an actual olive branch to the Iranians that will be a better deal than Obama JCPOA, they can end this war.

But it involves saying no to the Israelis.

As far as who they should deal with, I mean, look, they're going to send out Arachi, the foreign minister.

Arachi is an ambitious figure.

I think he wants to be the next president of Iran, as has been reported recently.

this week in the Journal by Lawrence Norman and others.

You know, that's who you have to deal with it as opposed to trying to find someone in the junta to deal with.

I mean, the reality is a lot of these people don't speak English.

You know, I don't think the administration should try to circumvent the Iranian process.
