Timeline:

• Unlikely to send US Envoy Witkoff and Kushner for talks.
• Possible that an Iran deal can be reached before the China visit.  (14-15 May 2026)

Sentiment:

• Felt a deal was near before, will see what happens.
• Oil may come down quickly after the war, or not, nobody knows.
• Thinks this [Iran war] has a very good chance of ending; will go back to bombing if not.

Details on the deal:

• Iran deal includes not using underground facilities.
• Iran uranium would go to the US under the deal.
• If no Iran deal is reached, then we go back to old ways.
• If we make a deal, we will lighten up on sanctions. 

Visit to China:
