Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

officials, and they read through verbatim the MOU, which was very similar to a lot of the copies of the text that had been going around.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

So directionally, it's all the same.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

There were some little quibbles.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Listen, opening the Strait of Hormuz I think is a good thing, but we can get into that in a second.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

The top line of it, though, that the administration seems keen to make clear, and we'll see what happens over the weekend in Geneva, is that Iran, they'll open the Strait of Hormuz, there will be no tolls whatsoever for 60 days.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Then, again, this is just what I'm hearing.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Don't shoot the messenger.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

This is what I'm hearing from the U.S.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

But then they even addressed that.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

And afterward, you know, they said then there will have to be cooperation among the Gulf states to figure out what the protocol looks like moving forward.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

And the argument, at least from the admin, is that the other Gulf states are not going to allow Iran to have a toll on the straits.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

So take that for what it's worth.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Then in terms of the sanctions relief, no sanctions relief whatsoever, Iranian oil can flow, but none of the many other sanctions that Trump himself boosted up on Iran will be lifted until after the deal and crucially until after we get nuclear dust.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Now the actual way in which we would get the nuclear dust,

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

seems to be, you know, a little unclear.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Is it, it could be us actually going in ourselves and taking it.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Uh, but anyway, that, that would have to be figured out.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Then this $300 billion from the Gulf States that again would not include the United States giving a single penny necessarily to it.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

It would be the Gulf States themselves investing in Iran to help rebuild Iran, which I think actually could be a decent thing.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Friendly Fire: A Different Kind of Nuclear Deal & Vance's "Communion" Calculus

Uh, but, uh, and crucially what it would do
