MARC THIESSEN (CONTRIBUTOR): Well, I think that the deal didn’t say anything about them firing at ships going through the Omani waters. So, you know, look, the reality is the president saw this MOU as way to get them to the table, to launch a — this was an agreement to negotiate an agreement. And they’re not taking the opportunity. And so I think — I’ve always believed that the best outcome for this is no deal. The best outcome for this, we were 10 to 15 days away from finishing all the military targets we have. As you pointed out earlier in the last hour, they’ve taken their ballistic missiles out of storage, where they were being protected in caves. Now they’re targets. Let's take them all out, let's finish the job. We’ve destroyed 85% of their defense industrial base, let’s destroy 100% of it. Let's set them back to the stone age militarily and then declare victory, open the strait by force, reimpose the blockade, and declare victory. And then help the Iranian people overthrow the regime, because all the gains that Donald Trump has made will only be permanent if regime changes in Iran.
