Episode description

Since the battle with Iran began on February 28, there’ve been so many reports of “deals” with the rump regime atop the ruins of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that it seems almost silly to respond to another one.

But I trust Israeli journalist Amit Segal. On Wednesday, Segal summed up the supposed framework. The most salient part is said to include—and I quote:

“Negotiations are still underway on the duration of the uranium enrichment freeze. Three sources said the freeze would last at least 12 years, and one source estimated the final outcome would be 15 years.”

That—in and of itself— makes this a terrible proposed “deal,” one that would draw fierce criticism from the GOP’s Iran hawks who want President Trump to “finish the job”, no enrichment of uranium period and finish the job in dramatic fashion.

President Trump doesn’t surrender leverage. He’s got it. We have to hope he uses every ounce of it.

This is Hugh Hewett for town hall dot Com. Since the battle with Iran began on February twenty eight, there have been so many reports of quote deals with the rump regime atop the ruins of the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It seems almost silly to respond to another one, but I trust Israeli journalists and meet Segal. On Wednesday, Segal summed up the supposed framework. The most salient part is said to include and I quote. Negotiations are still

underway on the duration of the Iranian enrichment freeze. Three sources said the freeze would last at least twelve years. One source estimated the final outcome would be fifteen years end of quote. That in and of itself makes this a terrible proposed deal, one that would draw fierce criticism from the GOP's Iron Hawks, who want President Trump to finish the job. No enrichment of Iranian period, and finish the job in dramatic fashion. President Trump doesn't surrender leverage.

He's got it. We have to hope he uses every ounce of it.
