Where we are, we have a ceasefire and we're going to sit down at a table and we're going to negotiate.

And we have nothing beyond that.

What we have are, I can tell you what the Iranians say the 10 points are that we have allegedly agreed to negotiate from.

They represent a surrender document, a surrender document for us.

I mean, we're the guys in the Japanese uniforms on the battleship in Tokyo Bay in this scenario.

We are supposed to withdraw all our troops from the region, acknowledge their control over the Straits of Hormuz, acknowledge their right to continue to exact a toll, lift all our sanctions against them, also roll back every resolution the United Nations ever passed on the nuclear program.

We're supposed to agree to their right to enrich uranium.

It is a complete, their document.

Well, you and I are in complete agreement on that, but what I know is that the Iranians are saying officially on their state media that that is the basis.

Hezbollah is saying that.

Hezbollah is celebrating the Iranian proxies in Iraq.

are celebrating.

They are openly describing this as a decisive victory over the United States.

We are surrendering to them.

They are not pulling any punches.

So yeah, I'm like you.

Okay, we got to cease fire, but what exactly are we talking about?

Because we keep trying to come back to, as Captain Fennell says, the main thing, which is China and Taiwan.

Well,

If we agree to anything remotely resembling these 10 points, do you think Beijing takes seriously anything we say about Taiwan?
