It's the same question on both sides.

It makes it very, very difficult.

Let's take it as time about time.

I think on a long enough timeline, the escalation trap is inevitable.

In the interim, Trump truly, I mean, look, all the reporting, I can only take it.

somewhat at its word is they, he's very, he's over the war, he wants it to be over.

He doesn't wanna resume full-blown combat hostilities.

You saw how it didn't go well for us, didn't go well for the allies.

I think this gray space is what we're going to be living in now for quite some time.

in the same way that we lived in the gray space of the June to whatever, the June to February 28th attack, where it was will they, won't they talks, no talks.

I mean, in some ways, while the no war benefits the United States, because oil prices are relatively stable, still much higher than where they were, but relatively stable, it benefits Iran too.

They have, you know, they can rearm

They can reconsolidate command and control.

They can relook at some of the targets, get some more satellite data, all of that.

However, I do think what the Iranians are showing, and look, also for them, in the same credible way that Trump wants to be like, see, I did everything I took to make a deal.

Their population, we're not there.

You and I have no idea.

At the end of the day, most people don't want to be bombed incessantly or at war.

So maybe their population has to be made to feel that we really did do everything we possibly could to avoid this before we enter some sort of a total war.

If I had to bet, I wouldn't bet on a total war resumption immediately.
