And he forces a ceasefire on the Iranians, gets the Israelis to agree.

And that's where we are today.

That's where, as you say, a tentative ceasefire that just came into effect.

And we'll see now if the Iranians decide to take President Trump on his repeated offers, join him in Oman for another round of negotiations.

Scott, is there some stuff you want to add to that?

Yeah, so there was a lot to unpack there.

So let's sort of just back up a little bit and talk about, first of all, the regime itself.

Islamic Republic of Iran came into power in 1979.

It has been declared a leading state sponsor of terrorism by multiple administrations, dating back to the Clinton administration.

By Obama, by Biden, by Trump.

And it is a regime that has killed and maimed thousands of Americans, not to mention, obviously, hundreds of thousands of Middle Easterners.

It is a regime that has lied about its nuclear program and never actually disclosed its nuclear sites.

All these sites were discovered.

by Iranian opposition groups, by Western intelligence agencies.

And the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the UN agency responsible for preventing proliferation, has come out again and again over many, many years in reports, very detailed reports, describing Iran's nuclear weapons program.

There have been multiple attempts at diplomacy with Iran.

I'm sure we're going to talk about it.

Scott mentioned the JCPOA, so we should certainly talk about the JCPOA, which was the 2015 deal that Barack Obama reached with Iran.

But multiple attempts to actually get the Iranians to negotiate away their nuclear weapons program.

I mean, it's worth mentioning that if Iran wanted to have civilian nuclear energy, there are 23 countries in the world that have it.
