And there's also the risk that Iran tries to attack the ports of its neighboring countries.

It's already threatened to do so.

There are definitely concerns that the U.S.

would have to police the waterway indefinitely.

There's no timeline attached to this.

The ultimate goal is to get Iran back to the negotiating table and to agree to the certain demands that the US has, right?

No nuclear enrichment, no nuclear weapons, no support for proxies.

It's just probably unlikely that Iran would sit down and say yes to everything the US is demanding.

We don't know what Iran plans to do.

And Iran has shown that it is able to hold the Strait hostage and use it as a bargaining chip.

So where does the ceasefire stand now and what's the next step?

Well, today's been really interesting because from the U.S.

side, it's been a huge victory lap.

We've heard from Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt.

We've heard from the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

And what they're saying is that what we set out to do has been accomplished.

And now we're trying to hammer out a ceasefire.

There are still some very important questions lingering, namely what Iran will do with its nuclear material, whether ships will be able to freely navigate the Strait of Hormuz, who will lead Iran.

So next step here is that the White House is dispatching the vice president, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner to Islamabad in Pakistan for a round of negotiations.

And I think in the next few days, we might have a little more clarity on where things stand.
