And I think that the theory is if they're involved in these negotiations with other countries at the table, that their honor is at stake with them.

So they can't just say that the Americans are lying or the Israelis are manipulating the situation.

These other parties are going to see what Hamas does or most likely.

does not do to honor their commitments to this deal.

Second, and that correlation of power shaping outcomes.

Well, initially we were responding by urging our allies, the Saudis, to take the lead on constraining the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

They had been in a multi-year war trying to degrade that threat before.

And it was during the Biden administration that we somewhat pulled back on that front.

And so this would be an example where we call on a regional ally to kind of car carry a bit of the burden of maintenance, something that we're going to need.

In a post-conflict Iran scenario, anyway.

And it's an important way to keep the Iranian wish of expanding this into a broader regional conflict involving multiple choke points as leverage against us.

So I think that we need to have more evidence that the Saudis andor others are taking this action to date.

I don't think we've seen that, but I think that's the go-to for the US to focus on Iran proper and

And have this balanced approach to the region.

Well, there's a part of this that I think is empirically true.

I think that Secretary Besant and the broader team have put maximum financial pressure on the regime, and that should frankly stay in place.

There's been a couple of indications of things being pulled back when we were in pursuit of a memorandum of understanding earlier.

Uh and I'm just not a believer in pulling back until you've had measurable results for a period of time.

And so I I think that part keeping that pressure in place has to be having an impact.

But it's also pretty clear now that multiple months in, that that's not sufficient to get the strategic change necessary for there to be an understood change in the broader region.
