One of them is, of course, if Iran decides that we wanted a ceasefire and they are going to start visibly engaging in enrichment or if they stupidly try to use one of their depleted terrorist surrogates—Hezbollah, Hamas, or terrorist cells in the United States—to attack us, they’re going to have to be retaliated against. Bottom line: Donald Trump’s going to have to decide, when countries come to him and say, “We’ll run a deficit with you, we will have symmetrical tariffs,” or, “We’ll have no tariffs,” is he going to take that or not? If Iran violates the ceasefire—and to what degree that would be true I don’t know, but if we see trucks going into these enrichment sites or we find evidence of a new one, he’s going to have to act and deal with a fallout.
