At the end of that five-day window, I think it's going to be exponentially more difficult.

I'm sure we're trying.

I'm sure we're trying.

We have some people that I know are probably aggressively reaching out.

Now, are they getting responses?

I don't know.

I just think that the Iranians, after us killing so many of the negotiators...

um and so many of the leaders showing the leadership there and then us you know basically saying after the 12-day war that like we use the negotiations as a ruse i don't think that helps because i think before again there was a tension inside of iran where you had the clerics and you had some of the moderates that were saying like okay we won't make a nuclear bomb we we are interested in some engagement with the americans we would like a deal

But then you had the hardliners.

You had the students of Qasem Soleimani who were like, uh-uh, absolutely not.

Let's go on the offensive.

Let's use our proxies to kill these guys.

Let's bleed them out of the Middle East.

So right now, who's winning that argument inside Iran?

I fear the hardliners are winning that argument inside of Iran.

Because every Iranian leader that they target and they kill, I mean, Trump even said it today when he was at the plain side, when he was plain side,

He was asked, who are you talking with inside of Iran?

And he said, I don't want to name them because then they might get killed.

Well, they might get killed by the Israelis because the Israelis don't want us to have negotiation.

This is fucking crazy, Joe.
