The strait gets opened in fairly expeditious fashion.

Iran doesn't get to play the troll under the bridge and collect tolls.

in perpetuity, there would be some sanctions relief on them if they do relinquish this highly enriched uranium.

That is going to also be, though, a significant process.

It probably would take months under optimal circumstances.

So that may be a sticking point, just how much sanctions relief the president's willing to permit them.

He said not much until they give up the so-called nuclear dust.

And if that takes months, what does that mean to the Iranians?

So I think that's essentially the deal in a nutshell.

It certainly seems like we can get there if there's somebody in Iran who's empowered to actually make a decision.

Thank you.

Wonderful to be with you.

Now, we're definitely in a sort of holding pattern for the moment.

And I think the real reason for it is the disarray of Iranian leadership.

Essentially, the 40 top people in Iran were taken out in that original strike in late February, and they haven't recovered.

And we're not sure we even have a supreme leader.

And bear in mind,

The previous supreme leader, Khamenei, had been in place for 40 years and had been a very, very stern and firm decision maker.

He was the ultimate decider in the Iranian regime.

And not only is he gone, but everyone around him is gone except for his son, Mujtaba, who became the supreme leader.
