inaction or domestic politics, that's also a win for us.
It just shows that we can make a deal with the United States.
So I mean, there are some, it's quite interesting.
So Trump's remarks yesterday, he was quite honest for the first time.
I think he was just saying things like, you know, you can't tell Iran not to have any kind of nuclear program and then its neighbors have it and missiles and these kinds of things.
There's going to be a lot of push and pull about the details of things like the enrichment, the uranium enrichment.
I think that can be solved.
They had a solution prior to this war, which was basically for Iran to engage in an international consortium on its soil with a bunch of its neighbors to basically have a multinational operation going to make sure that there's maximum transparency.
It's going to be any kind of diversion of the nuclear program for weaponization.
I think there's a solution for that.
I think when you look at things like terrorism financing, of course, there's a domestic political element to it that has to do with sanctions relief.
But I think another element to it is an attempt to shape the framework of these negotiations.
If you look at the MOU, there are a couple of things in there which stand out in terms of they're missing.
Number one is missiles.
Number two is this kind of Iran's regional alliance network, how it's going to approach that.
So I think in these negotiations, we're going to possibly see some attempts to put these things on agenda.
But again, it's quite confusing because Trump is so openly now going out and saying that, you know, Iran has to be able to defend itself.
We can't have a situation with Iran whereby it can't defend itself.
And here we're going to see the influence and possibly even the limits of what Israel and its kind of allies in Washington can achieve, because we understand that
Prior to this war, there was a lot of talk about the nuclear program being an imminent threat.
