Trump might just at the last minute balk because there's so much political backlash to what he's agreed to do.
There were words, you know, that there will be an unconditional surrender by Iran.
This is not an unconditional surrender.
And as ever, predicting the next steps of Donald Trump is a mug's game.
Well, what the American Central Command has said is these were defensive strikes, which I guess they're trying to mollify the Iranians about what they've done.
But they've claimed, particularly down in the south, near the strait at Banda Abbas, they have struck what they said was an attempt to set up a kind of missile launchers.
And also there was some evidence that the Iranians were trying to lay further mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
And at the moment, the Iranian reaction is by their standards relatively muted.
And I think they're going to try and still focus on getting this deal rather than going into a kind of mode of saying the ceasefire is over and we're back to fighting.
Yeah, it's a bit of a caravan.
At the moment, I think the talks are going on in Doha, because one of the big issues has been around the issue of Iran's frozen assets and whether they can be unfrozen by the Americans and whether Qatar would be.
where I think some of the big money is could be released.
And for the Iranian point of view, it's really important that that money is released right at the start of the process, not sort of that it's conditional on something else.
They want it right up front.
Yeah, I think it was really kind of messy landing for the proposals over Saturday and Sunday.
And you have Lindsey Graham, who's probably one of his closest allies, extremely critical.
Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas, also saying that this was a disaster.
And, you know, key people on the Armed Services Committee as well, very critical.
So it was a really bumpy reception.
And I think the key point they're making is they feel that the whole nuclear file has been deferred to later.
