And then there's a section that was inserted quite late in the negotiations in which it says that Oman and Iran together will decide whether there is a way in which they can charge a sort of maritime service fee
As ever, it depends on how compulsory this fee payment is, because a toll is obviously something that is totally compulsory.
Whether in fact there would be a service that you would voluntarily seek to buy is obviously in question.
Well, you've got to remember they've also suffered a vast amount of damage and maybe that 350 billion number is supposed to reflect the level of damage that's actually happened inside Iran.
But if at the end of this whole process, as the document suggests, and there's a satisfactory nuclear agreement, all sanctions of any kind will be lifted by America.
So that's primary and secondary.
All UN sanctions will be lifted as well.
That's huge.
Yeah.
And then I think it's worth also adding that in the press conference, which is also a wild event as ever with Trump at the end of the G7, he gave further ground in the sense that he accepted that Iran had a right to enrich uranium domestically, which is probably the single casus belli of the whole issue.
war.
And he also accepted that it would be possible for Iran to dilute this stockpile of highly enriched uranium inside Iran, where previously he'd insisted it had to be exported abroad.

But you can see America giving ground, red lines disappearing in the dust every time Trump spoke.
So
Sure.
We're going to have to think what was achieved in this war.
And I think if you look at what Iran was willing to do before the fighting started.
Well, it's not for nothing in the sense that you've got to remember also that Iran's sort of enrichment plants have been destroyed in the previous war, in the 10-day war last year.
So, you know, that is a big change in the whole climate.
