ABC News Daily · Why an Iran deal is too much effort for Trump · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean –

They essentially have won the war and they've essentially won the negotiations to end it.

But they've gone through incredible damage as well.

I mean, it's going to take years, if not decades, to repair some of the economic damage that's been done.

So it's in their interest to end the war as well.

And I think that's probably the one thing that will come out of this war is that it's done.

Now, is it done permanently, forever?

No.

But I think in the near term, there will not be a return to the war.

Yeah, I mean I don't think that's going to happen because I think the way I'm viewing this MOU is kind of a two-phase thing.

It's like what the MOU actually does now and then what it aspires to do.

I don't think it will ever reach a final deal.

But what it does now is it codifies a ceasefire.

It gives Iran substantial relief even without lifting all sanctions.

It gives them the oil waivers, which is really the most important piece of economic leverage that the US had.

So it gives them that for essentially nothing.

And it's going to give them, you know, it sounds like at least $12 billion in frozen assets and then potentially additional money from the Gulf as it relates to Strait of Hormuz.

And so you're looking at a substantial payday with no further progress.

Yeah, with one caveat.

I think that's basically my opinion.
