Within the first week after the US-Iran MOU was signed, 20 million barrels per day of oil began flowing through the Strait of Hormuz — matching pre-war levels.

This is the episode's longest and most substantive policy section. Vance explains the internal structure of the Iranian system — pragmatists who want economic reintegration versus hardliners who want to maintain leverage via the Strait and nuclear threat — and describes the sequence: the MOU is signed, oil flows, the hardliners panic, ships get shot at, the US retaliates, the pragmatists push back, and negotiations resume in a messy cycle. [1] — JD Vance "The US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding has three parts: Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz, violence stops, and then both sides negotiate lon…" 1:50:00 He makes the central argument: critics who say 'don't negotiate with Iran' cannot actually answer the question of what their alternative is, since a single person with cheap drones can disrupt 25% of the world's energy supply. He rejects both regime change (citing Libya's collapse under the Obama administration creating a refugee crisis and terrorist infrastructure) and indefinite bombing (no clear objective). He notes the $300 billion figure in criticisms of the deal is a lie — it refers to potential Gulf Arab state investment in Iran conditional on behavioral change, not a US government payout. He reveals that, per a Time magazine story published the day before, a former Trump campaign operative paid by elements of the Israeli government is funding influencers to attack him personally and tank the negotiations.
The US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding has three parts: Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz, violence stops, and then both sides negotiate long-term nuclear issues. In return, Iran wants sanctions relief. Within the first week, 20 million barrels per day were flowing again. The hardliners then panicked and shot at ships — triggering US retaliation and a temporary breakdown.
