00:00Trump would like to be able to just make the decision and move on. But I mean, in any in
00:05any conflict, your rival gets a vote in what happens. Right. So if we were to pack up and go
00:11home today, then Iran would then have the next move to make and that would advantage them.
00:18So I know that that this has been a very difficult situation for the United States. I mean, we started
00:24a war without really understanding why we were doing it and how we were going to get out of it.
00:29And ultimately, I think what's happening here is that Trump wants to seem tough and wants to see like he's
00:36getting a win.
00:37But Iran is trying to make it seem like the US lost the war. In other words, the US is
00:42weak and that Iran actually now will will be ascendant in its influence throughout the region and through and around
00:49the world because of the Strait of Hormuz card.
00:52You know, Trump likes to say that we hold all the cards. Iran holds none of the cards. He said
00:57that when talking to the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky as well in the Oval Office, we hold all the cards.
01:03You don't have any cards. The reality is that Iran holds a very important card, and that is the Strait
01:09of Hormuz.
01:10They may have few cards, but they have one really important one. And so that is, I think, the rub
01:15for the Trump administration.
01:17And I do think that we're going to see an MOU signed pretty soon here.
01:22But keep in mind, it's just an agreement to begin negotiations about the much more difficult part of this, which
01:29is the nuclear program.
