What is the framework for the peace deal discussed in this episode?

Unknown 0:00

report to you today that we have, along with your foreign policy team, presented a 15-point action list that forms the framework for a peace deal. This has been circulated through the Pakistani government, acting as the mediator. And this has resulted in strong and positive messaging and talks, as you just indicated to the press. But these are sensitive diplomatic discussions. And you have directed us to maintain confidentiality on the specific terms and not negotiate through the news media, as others do. I can say this. We will see where things lead and if we can convince Iran that this is the inflection point with no good alternatives for them, other than more death and destruction. We have strong signs that this is a possibility, and if a deal happens, it will be great for the country of Iran, for the entire region, and the world at large.

Unknown 1:06

Your policy of peace through strength is the most effective tool for a diplomatic resolution here, just as this policy was an effective tool in each and every one of all of the other conflicts you settled in your first year. Iran is looking for an off-ramp following your powerful threat on Saturday. Your indications that you are willing to listen to peace proposals have been well received. You have instructed us that your preference is always peace and that we should make that our priority.

How does the U.S. plan to engage with Iran diplomatically?

Unknown 1:42

We have delivered that message, sir, along with the 15 points for peace. Finally, we have told Iran one last thing. Don't miscalculate again. The President Thank you very much. You're doing a great job. How are you looking then at these movements of the 82nd Airborne and these two Marine Expeditionary Units? I mean, do you think that boots on the ground in some capacity are likely and what would that look like? Yeah, I think it's very possible in the case of Karg Island. As you've seen, there's footage of the president talking about that in the 1980s. He's clearly interested in it. He had it bombed two Friday nights ago. So I think he may believe that he can take Karg and take his own hostage, if you will.

Unknown 2:37

as a condition for we'll release this once you help us reopen the straits. I still don't know that he's going to do it at the end of the day. I think there are other ways maybe to achieve that type of outcome, maybe by saying no tankers should show up at Karg Island or we'll target them. So he may find an alternative short of ground troops in order to try and get new leverage over the Iranians. So I don't know that he's made up his mind absolutely to do that. But as you say, these troops coming to the region are certainly capable of doing it. I have a feeling it's going to clean up pretty quickly. I could just say this. They want to make, they want to make, and I probably hurt our little negotiation.

Unknown 3:20

It gives them a little impetus to say, well, I wish you didn't say that. But they said yesterday that we weren't negotiating with them. And now they admit that we were negotiating with them. So they want to make a deal. The reason they want to make a deal is they have been just beat to s**t. perspective, military perspective. We're seeing this surge, this deployment. What do you think of that? Do we need to escalate to deescalate, as we heard from some administration officials, at least when it came to the economy over the weekend? And what would those troops actually be doing? We've talked about CARD. We've talked about other possibilities. What's the reality? Well, they're doing a whole range of operations right now.

Unknown 3:54

I think the most important thing we're going to understand is there's roughly 50,000 of America's sons and daughters in the region, right? They're all in harm's way. A missile could land on them. There are accidents and other issues. We've already seen 13. And so they're there and they're going to be there. Even if you were to try to start to pull them out, they're still going to be in harm's way. And I hope that stays front and center with people. There's another issue, too. Trump doesn't care about public opinion. He's hit over eight countries, all gas, no brakes.
