And we're completely talking out of our rears on this because we have not seen the text of the deal.
But if the text of the deal, if they could not get the Iranians to sign off on curtailing their missile program, if they would not agree to not support proxies...
Well, then I think the wiggle room, and this is where we would, this is where I would push back and object to the text as if it's, if that's what, how it is, I would say, well, you haven't really stopped anything because their main focus, their 12 or ideology, everything has not changed.
We've just set them back and they're still going to try this in the future.
That's what worries me about this.
well i was curious yeah i wanted to know why you believe we don't have the text of the deal public yet one and then two um how are they going to hold the regime accountable when they will find ways to fund proxies the administration seems to signal that they think that just by ending the sanctions or
Applying sanctions and applying financial pressure will be enough to disincentivize the regime, but I'm not sure that's true.
Yeah, it does.
And I think that, and again, once the text of this comes out, that's where we're going to, that's when we are going to know a lot more.
And it's very hard for me to comment before actually seeing that text.
We didn't yesterday.
Exactly right.
And I mean, I,
I think that possibly even the delay on this is, I would love to hear the vice president's answer on, is this really a peace deal or is this really more like a ceasefire while all of these things that we're worried about are ironed out over the next 30 to 60 days?
I'd love to know that as well.
That's possibly why we haven't seen a lot of the text there because they're still working on it.
So this could still go a completely different way to where a lot of these concerns we have are ironed out and addressed.
We just don't really have that much information right now.
But I believe full transparency is the best way to go forward.
Whatever you do have, just let us know what you do have.
