He's not gonna just give it away.
So ultimately the blockade will stay as the straight opens and then the blockade will open and then the straights open.
And if that takes, you know, 30 days to fully mature or two weeks to fully mature, but it will start immediately as the president has said.
oh, we'll make sure the military option is there.
And that's the big difference between this and JCPOA and the way Obama did it.
Obama, they begged Iran for a deal and we bombed Iran and then put in a blockade and then ran ships through and then have restarted when necessary to ensure that they come to the table
for a great deal.
So our military posture will be whatever it needs to be to ensure they're compelled over this 60 days through the memorandum of understanding that they live up to what they said they would do.
The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won't seek one, won't buy one, won't have one.
And 60 days, there'll be negotiations to make that final.
But they didn't have the threat of military force the way that we do that Iran respects in a very way that their regime is more devastated, more devastating, excuse me, more devastated than it's ever been in its 47 years.
And that's why they're at the table.
So the huge difference is we did this from a position of strength.
President Trump led with military might.
That military might will stay as long as necessary.
You know, if the blockade comes off, then you you pull back.
and you allow shipping to flow just like iran needs to allow shipping to go through the straits but we can snap that blockade back at any point and they can't do anything about it and iran knows that and that's why we have the leverage in these talks and we hope they'll go well okay well as i understand so what they're saying is the reason that they went into this
Ultimately, Iran will need to destroy it and remove it, down-blend it, and we will be involved, whether physically or otherwise, to ensure that that happens.
Could be the U.S.
military.
