Which to me is an indication that they feel like the time is still on their side, that they can uh
They can go at this slowly, you know, the economy's still bad in the US.
We've talked about all the unpopularity in the U you know, for Trump's party.
And that's good enough for them that ultimately Trump's not gonna want to do this forever, is their belief.
No, that does come with a risk for Iran.
You know, this is bad for them too.
It in some ways is a sort of a race to the bottom.
You can but it would have to be done in a manner that um would acknowledge that the war was a total failure and that the the current status quo is much worse than it was on February twenty eighth, the day he launched the war.
know, commercial traffic, even though it's improved over the last couple of weeks, it's still only about a third

So, you know, if he does that
You're basically lifting the blockade, walking away.
And you're kind of admitting military defeat.
So it's possible he does that and maybe he ultimately just has no better option.
But in my mind, I think you still have to have some sort of arrangement on the straight awareness that opens this up more than it is.
But it's possible that he just takes a loss.
It's just not in his nature to do that.
Will this war be over by the time of the midterm elections?
No, I don't.
