We've already seen an increase in traffic today. Hopefully, we'll see an increase in traffic tomorrow.

We actually think that we are seeing signs that the Straits are starting to reopen.

The deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation — that's what we give. And what they give is the Straits are going to be reopened.

If we don't see that happening, President Trump is not going to abide by our terms if the Iranians are not abiding by their terms.

I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding.

I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't — we never made that promise. We never indicated that was going to be the case.

What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran and the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.

The Israelis have actually offered to frankly check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful.

That's not because that is part of the ceasefire. I think that's the Israelis trying to set us up for success. We'll, of course, see how that unfolds in the next few days.

If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that's ultimately their choice. We think that would be dumb, but that's their choice.

The Iranians have got to take the next step, or President Trump has a lot of options to go back to the war.

President Trump has talked about sanctions relief. He has also talked about economic partnerships and things like that.

But that’s not going to happen unless the Iranians make a firm commitment to stop anything close to the development of a nuclear weapon.

President Trump has all the cards. We have a lot of leverage and a lot of things we can do.

First of all, he said that there are a few points of disagreement before the negotiation. Well, that must mean that there are a lot of points of agreement because there's a 15-point plan and a 10-point plan floating around.

If he's frustrated about three issues, that actually means that there's a lot of agreement.

I actually wonder how good he is at understanding English, because there are things that he said that frankly did not make sense in the context of the negotiations we had.

He talked about an attack that allegedly happened on Iran and how that was a violation of the ceasefire. Ceasefires are always messy. This is the nature of a ceasefire.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said, "We refuse to give up the right to enrichment."

And I thought to myself: my wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn’t jump out of an airplane because we have an agreement that she’s not going to do that—I don’t want my wife jumping out of an airplane.

We don’t really concern ourselves with what they claim they have the right to do; we concern ourselves with what they actually do.

The first 10-point proposal was something that was submitted, and we frankly think it was probably written by ChatGPT. It was submitted to Witkoff and Kushner.

That immediately went into the garbage and was rejected.

There was a second 10-point proposal that was much more reasonable. It was based on some back-and-forth between us, the Pakistanis, and the Iranians. That is the proposal the president was referencing, and it’s true as of yesterday.

And then, frankly, I’ve seen a third 10-point proposal that’s even more maximalist than the first one that’s been floating around various social media channels.

I actually think that [the situation with Lebanon] is a reasonable misunderstanding.

Neither we nor the Israelis said that Lebanon was going to be part of the ceasefire.

We stand with all our might alongside the Hezbollah mujahideen, and we will punish the Zionist enemy.

The responsibility for the collapse of the ceasefire lies with America, which either does not want to or cannot leash its rabid dog.

Violations of the ceasefire by America will also not be tolerated.
