00:00:00So, a lot of people are caterwauling about the war in Iran.
00:00:02They say the president just needs to end it.0.89
00:00:04Here is the thing if the president were to just end the war in Iran and hand victory to Iran, your gas prices would be permanently high because then they would have control over that choke point from now until the end of time.0.86
00:00:14The president has basically brought the Iranians to their knees.0.70
00:00:17That doesn't mean they're finished because, again, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is a radical regime that is willing to kill hundreds of thousands of its own people to remain in power.
00:00:25But he has brought them to the brink of collapse.
00:00:27So, Iran has been trying to suggest that they are willing to make a deal once again.
00:00:31Now, the reason that they keep saying they want to make a deal is because they're Economy is completely choked off.
00:00:36The Trump administration has, in fact, accomplished the goal of opening some elements of the Strait of Hormuz to the extent that apparently some 20 million reported barrels of oil went out of the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend.
00:00:48And Iran is actually internally divided, apparently.
00:00:51You have the IRGC, led by Vahidi, which wants to continue the conflict until everybody's dead, essentially.
00:00:59And then you have Abbasaraki and Pazeshkian, and they have been trying to negotiate some sort of quasi surrender without negotiating their own surrender.
00:01:07Well, again, I highly doubt that they're going to be able to achieve that since the people with the guns in the end are the IRGC, not Abbasarachi or Pzeszkian.
00:01:15And what they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait.0.55
00:02:15You know, Ambassador Mike Waltz says that Trump has rejected Iran's proposal because basically Iran's proposal was what if you just leave us alone and stop at the blockade and also tell the Israelis that they can never attack us again?
00:02:24And also, we commit that we'll do a bunch of stuff that we will never do.
00:02:28And Waltz's like, well, we're not doing any of that.
00:02:35They were asking for relief from billions and billions of sanctions that are going into place as Operation Economic Fury, but also, Jake, importantly, snapback sanctions.
00:02:48From the United Nations that have been in place for many years because Iran has violated over and over again a number of issues related to its nuclear program.
00:02:59They were also asking for access to billions in frozen assets that have also been frozen because of those violations.
00:03:06So the bottom line is they were asking for everything up front with a promise that they would then talk.0.91
00:03:12And I'll remind everyone once we got to the MOU from just a few months ago, the Iranians immediately violated it.0.99
00:03:20By attacking international shipping in violation of international law.0.93
00:03:25And 146 nations have joined us in condemning Iran for those attacks.
00:03:31Now, again, credit to the Trump administration because when we say 146 nations have condemned Iran, how many of them are willing to do anything about it?
00:03:53This is a doomsday cult running a country.0.65
00:03:55Okay, that is what the Iranian revolutionary regime always has been.0.99
00:04:00It always has been this, going all the way back to when V.S. Naipaul, the Nobel Prize winner for literature, wrote a book called Among the Believers, in which he visited Iran in 1981.

00:05:14This is a doomsday cult that runs a country seeking a nuclear weapon and willing to use all the money that it has in order to sponsor terrorism abroad.0.76
00:05:25And when the West pretends that they're a normal country, they are making a large scale category error in the same way that Britain is making a large scale category error by importing members of Hamas and then claiming.0.83
00:05:33That if they just get a job, everything will be all better.0.62
00:05:36Here's Abbas Araki, the foreign minister, saying that they're going to stand firm.
00:05:41We are ready to negotiate as much as we are ready to face any challenge.
00:05:45We stand firm in the face of any challenge, any aggression, sorry.
00:05:50We stand firm in the face of any aggression against us, even if it comes to a doomsday war.
00:05:56At the same time, we are ready for diplomacy.
00:05:59But, and now there is a very reasonable plan on the table.
00:06:04If they reject it with no reason, this is their fault.
00:06:36We have done it for certain purposes, medical purposes, other purposes, but we have offered a deal on our 60% material in 2025, in 2026, and still it is something that could be considered if they prove their goodwill and their real determination for a peace.
00:07:00We decided to put everything nuclear for later stages.
00:07:06And go for confidence building in this stage.
00:07:09This is why we have offered this seven day plan based on the understanding that we had with the US interlocutors in the past.
00:07:19These people are not people who are reasonable and rational, and people who agree with their general philosophy of the world should not be imported.
00:07:53I think that they are pretending that he is alive.
00:07:55His body is likely moldering at this point.
00:07:57And the IRGC is taking his dead hand and manipulating it around to sign things.
00:08:01Here's Abbas Araki saying they haven't put out a video of Mushtaba for security reasons, by the way.
00:08:06Even if that were true, it shows you how penetrated the Iranian regime are.
00:08:10They are so afraid that if they put out one photo of Mushtaba in a closed room with a black backdrop, that somehow the Israelis will find him and kill him.
00:08:17Why has there been no proof of life of the supreme leader since he took power in March?
00:08:28Well, there are security concerns, and you are well aware of that.
00:08:35You know, our supreme leader was illegally assassinated during the last war, and I think it is very logic that we protect our leader.
