And then there's a question of how the Straits of Hormuz are going to be managed in the future.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman on Monday was saying we're not seeking to impose tolls, but we are thinking of that there could be fees for navigational services.
And the issue there is, are those navigational services something that you can apply for or whether they'll be compulsory, i.e.
it will be at all.
And we're just, it's a distinction without a difference.
We're playing on words.
So that is also going to be very difficult.
And then lastly, the Americans are trying to get into the agreements something on the nuclear issue to the effect that
there will be the dispatch of the stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
And Trump, up until yesterday, was saying it had to be exported to America.
But he then switched and said he could tolerate the uranium being destroyed inside Iran.
And I think what Iran is after is that it's what's called downblended, which is a technical term for just basically diluted.
So it's got
the enrichment goes down to 3.67 percent which is regarded as kind of what you would need for the kind of civil nuclear program so those are the sticking points but as of the latest latest reports it was the the money issue that is it was holding things up and it's as much as 24 billion dollars right uh and now obviously that sounds a lot and you can see that the irgc would be buying some new gleaming weapons with that but you've got to also bear in mind that iran's probably
foregone as much as 250 billion through this war.
So it's a drop in the ocean.
And there are people inside Iran sending letters to the speaker demanding that they don't concede anything at this stage.
There must be straightforward reparations and the Straits of Hormuz must remain under full Iranian control.
Well, I completely understand that if you're watching from outside, which in a way I am as well.
But the reality is that there is progress.
