This is Hugh hewittt for townhall dot Com. The ceasefire in Iran will be a big win for President Trump if the Strait opens and stays open, and we'll know over the course of two weeks whether or not that happens. If it does, the world's oil supply will surge a bit, and the remnants of the Iranian regime will have a chance to inventory the destruction that has rained down on
their forces for five weeks. If the Strait doesn't reopen, or the attacks on Israel or our golf allies don't cease, another round of the Third Gulf War will soon commence. President Trump issued his ultimatum, his never evolving critics denounced his language, though it got through to whomever is running the bunkers in Iran. The war is far from over, but long conflicts never resolve in a month, and this one's forty seven years old. Fundamental things are afoot in
the Middle East, most of them very good. Indeed, freedom for the long suffering Iranian people and stability in the Middle East has never been closer since nineteen seventy nine. I'm Hugh Hewitt
