I wish I could say it's totally unusual, but look, in this circumstance, we don't really know who's in charge in Tehran.
So this is like completely unprecedented.
I'm sure our analysts who know Iran so well are trying to figure out what's happening.
You know, John, think about even when Supreme Leader Khamenei,
was killed in the beginning of this, was in charge, they still have somewhat of a collective decision-making apparatus.
And on big decisions, very hard for one person to say, this is how it's going to be.
And I suspect in Tehran right now, you know, these messages going back and forth have caused a debate.
There's probably fractures.
And what the Trump administration is asking Iran to do, and they have a set of reasonable asks, particularly on
nuclear program give up your enrichment program which has been in demand for some time iran has never agreed to do that so if they were john to come in with a new position and say actually we're going to accept what the americans are asking for we want to have a ceasefire sanctions relief that's going to be a huge decision in their system and i don't think anyone right now in tehran is powerful enough to really make that decision fast i say one more thing negotiating with the iranians nothing is ever fast
It takes time.
They deliberate.
They have this process they go through.
They always demand one change or another.
And that's when they had a system that you could somewhat predict.
So even more confusing now.
So, yeah, it's going to be hard to get a quick outcome here.
John, it's hard to see how this ends if Iran is controlling the Strait of Hormuz and to say that that's been a strategic gain for the United States.
I think it's good if we're taking out their missiles, their drones, their air force, their navy, their power projection.
But the Strait of Hormuz is the artery of the global economy.
