Let's open the strait.

You know, let's do a deal with the Iranians.

And the deal, by the way, that, you know, the best case scenario deal that is possible, although, you know, it's nowhere near being signed, is rather similar to the deal that Obama reached with the Iranians after years of negotiations.

I mean, to think that all this has been done just so that he can say best case scenario at the end of it,

So let's say the optimistic side of Trump's brain says that's what we're aiming for.

The strait that was always open is now open again, sort of.

Then there's the other side of Trump's brain that's slightly more gung-ho that says, well, if they don't sign this deal immediately, if I can't get my results by breakfast time, I will threaten them with civilizational extinction.

And by the way, I've increased the moratorium on enrichment from five years to 10 years.

This is after billions and billions of dollars spent, thousands of lives lost, the world economy upended.

I mean, it's not a great deal, is it?

And the trouble is that all this takes place not behind closed doors, but in the open forum of social media.

It's not.

It doesn't look good from any angle.

Matt, thank you so much.

And of course, the Iranians have to respond to this.

So they're both, I mean, it's a match made in hell, frankly, on negotiating terms.

And then you've got on the Iranian side,

We also now have pretty well documented splits within the Iranian regime, or what's left of it, denied, of course, by the regime.

But for instance, just a few weeks ago, the Foreign Minister Arachi promised to open the Strait of Hormuz completely.
