• Asks if Hall shares the market euphoria about Iran deal being on track to being over.

    This might be some short term euphoria. The IEA says it would take about two years to get back to normal, especially for LNG markets. About 80 oil and gas facilities damaged in the region, there's a backlog.
    We've seen a lot of mixed messaging on whether negotiations are even going to continue. Iran says it will open the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump says he'll continue the blockade. It's really unclear what's going to happen. Right now we're in a very fragile ceasefire.
  • Asks about political saboteurs in Iran and the region who could undermine peace.

    A lot of details to be worked out on enrichment. There are a lot of spoilers and ways Iran could continue to make money through negotiations. Iran now knows it has leverage over the global economy. A lot can go wrong.
  • Asks if Iran declaring the Strait open means it could just close it again in the future, questioning if this is a return to normal.
    Kailey Leinz

    This is the biggest geopolitical loss of this entire war. Trump says Iran will never close the Strait again, but the reason Iran closed it was because the US and Israel went to war with Iran. Now it knows it has that leverage. A real geopolitical loss.
  • Asks who will be negotiating for Iran if talks resume.
    Joe Mathieu
  • Natasha Hall
    Iranian negotiators are sophisticated, know the nuclear program details, but are closer to IRGC and more extreme elements. The focus should be on who is on the US side, as it's unclear they have the detail to hammer out a real agreement that prevents a return to war or a freeze on the global economy.
  • Asks if we could see a pattern of an 'agreement in principle' without finalized details, creating volatility.
    Kailey Leinz
  • Natasha Hall
    Iranians know how to manipulate details so Trump can save face superficially. Concerned the original problem - Iran's nuclear weapons program - won't be solved. The US might want a superficial agreement to lower gasoline prices for midterm elections.
  • Asks if European plans for their own naval coalition will still be needed if Strait is reopened.
    Joe Mathieu
  • Natasha Hall
    This will alter many countries' contingency plans. We'll see increasing coalitions of the willing, some excluding the US. This doesn't bode well for the US as a superpower. Countries will work on alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz. This is not a sign of 'deal done, back to normal'.
