JOHN ROBERTS (ANCHOR): The president says there could be a deal by Saturday. Are you optimistic, Jason?

JASON RILEY (CONTRIBUTOR): Well, I think we've heard this before, that we're on the cusp of a deal. You know, I do think the president has the markets in mind. He has the political calendar in mind. He has oil prices in mind. And that's understandable. But I think it's important that we finish what we've started here. And just any deal to end the war doesn't mean that we've won the war. And we must win, because I think if we don't win, Iran comes outs of this stronger. If they can close the strait up and just wait out the west and count on us not having the patience to see things through, they'll come out of here in a stronger place. And we can't let that happen.
