And they're trying to you know, they're pushing against it.

That's why he's frustrated.

And they're probably going to end up getting some kind of I believe will use the twenty five billion and held funds as some kind of lubricant.

to get a Hormuz for blockade deal, where we both kind of acknowledge they control the Straits of Hormuz through geography, we control it through naval power.

We'll agree to both let each deal.

They'll control the northern transit scheme, we'll control the southern transit scheme, and they'll get some money.

You know, I think they'll get the sanction waivers on the nuclear deal.

And I think they'll get the cash on the Straits of Hormuz deal.

That's why.

They may not get all of it.

You know, there's $25 billion.

But the minute we say okay to $5 billion,

They'll be, yeah, we're not ready for the deal yet, seven.
