00:00But with regards to the fact that the U.S. and Israel aren't exhausted, they're happy to continue fighting on,
00:06is Iran exhausted or do you think that they're keen for a deal?
00:10And what about Avital's option three there that might not be endured fighting, but very targeted fighting in a very
00:18different sense that could be much more deprimental to Iran?
00:22Yeah, I mean, I tend to agree with Tobias in his analysis in the sense that there hasn't really been
00:27a large military objective achieved at this point.
00:30I mean, yes, we can say that the United States military has hit a lot of targets.
00:35I mean, we are very good at bombing things up. Yes, we've hit a lot of things in Iran.
00:38The reality is, is that they still control a tremendous amount of missiles.
00:42They still have a tremendous amount of power to be able to control the Strait of Hormuz.
00:46And the issue that we have right here is that we're looking at a zero sum game, right?
00:50We have the United States that has said, you know, this is what we want, right?
00:54And Donald Trump is absolutely desperate for a deal.
00:58He wants to get, he needs a win.
00:59He needs a geopolitical win.
01:01To say that the Americans are not getting exhausted from this war is complete nonsense.
01:06I'm on the ground here in the United States.
01:08The chatter here amongst Americans, this is a absolutely unpopular war.
01:12I'm on the ground here with the American forces and I don't see anybody exhausted.
01:16On the contrary, CENTCOM commander was here last week and actually sat with the Israelis and coordinated the next steps.
01:25Yeah, you're on the ground with maybe U.S. troops who are deployed there.
01:28Is that what you're saying?
01:30Yeah, yeah, exactly.
01:31Yeah, yeah.
01:32I'm here in the United States talking to American citizens.
01:34And the problem is, is that 70% of U.S. citizens do not support this war.
01:38They don't believe that Donald Trump has handled this in a correct way because the number one campaign promise was
01:44no new wars.
01:45And we're seeing the United States economy is not being prioritized.
01:48We're seeing a tremendous amount of insider trading.
01:50The BBC just came out with a massive report talking about the insider trading that's going on.
01:55We can see this.
01:56Look at the last few Fridays.
01:58Every Friday, there's a positive announcement from Donald Trump that doesn't really materialize into anything.
02:03And it doesn't surprise me this option three saying, hey, we can target bridges and energy grids and we can
02:08target desalination plants because those are considered war crimes if you're doing that against there.
02:14So that's that is not an option.
02:16And, you know, this is exactly what the president had done.
02:18I mean, he sent out a tweet basically saying, look, we are going to annihilate an entire civilization of 93
02:24million people just by tweeting that as the president of the United States.
02:27That could be continued as a war crime.
02:30So, yeah, this is this is it's going to go further and further down this escalation trap.
02:36The ceasefire deal is not going to last because the United States and Israel, they want to get their hands
02:40on that enriched uranium.
02:41But for Iran, this is a fight for survival.
02:43They're not going to give up that even if it causes them economic pain, which they've certainly had.
02:49They see this as an existential threat.
02:51And, you know, again, look at what's happened to them.
02:54They continue to get attacked by the United States.
02:56And so they don't want to keep fighting this war.
02:59They want to end this so that in the future that no American president is going to be able to
03:03do this again.
