We're closing it on the April 22nd deadline for the ceasefire with Iran. What happens if we get to that

0:05.3

point and no resolution has been met? That's a big TBD that we're all wondering. Now, remember this

0:10.6

past weekend, Vice President J.D. Vance traveled to Pakistan where the Pakistanis mediated between

0:15.8

the United States and Iran, trying to come up with some kind of resolution to this conflict.

0:20.3

Out of that, no resolution

0:21.6

to the conflict existed. I'm willing to bet some strategy was going into that. Both parties standing

0:26.6

in the ground. I did note, I think it is interesting that Iran really did not capitulate in that

0:31.9

meeting. You would think after being just kind of hammered away for the last month that they would be ready for a reprieve

1:10.1

where they were getting hammered over

1:12.0

Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was

1:17.4

part of the ceasefire. That's ultimately their choice. We think that would be dumb, but that's their

1:21.8

choice. Maybe they see the fact that they know they have two weeks to deal and they might have

1:26.2

the ability to apply more pressure.

1:28.0

Maybe the United States is applying more pressure. As we see the United States,

1:31.5

blockade the blockade. Now, I know there have been some great memes and comments made about

1:37.2

the blockade of the blockade. I am willing to bet that there are some more things at play here
