But even so, we now have the ceasefire.

And I wonder, based on everything you've said here, is Iran actually the winner of the ceasefire?

After the break, the turmoil inside the Trump administration over this war and what that means on the battlefield.

Tom, one of the things that I

couldn't necessarily wrap my head around.

It was maybe an irony that was really troubling me on Sunday into Monday into Tuesday as the president's threats became more hostile, severe, incendiary, whichever adjective you'd like to use there.

And that was that

He was saying things that people clearly identified as war crimes and Congress has not yet declared a war.

And so I guess constitutionally, this is still something that's worth asking.

Will Congress ever declare a war or does it matter at this point?

No, and it doesn't matter at this point.

Yeah, and, you know, you said that you think that it's over for the foreseeable future, right?

But if we are operating under the idea that the ceasefire is tenuous, what leads you to say that it's over?

You know, I was actually, I was watching that press conference on Wednesday morning as well.

And there seemed to be like two different postures that were coming from Kane and Secretary Hegseth.

Am I wrong in that?

Because General Kane did seem as if he was wrapping things up.

But Secretary Hicks kind of kept going back to this idea that, well, the reason why we're at the ceasefire and the reason why this deal came is because of the president's threats.

Because he has shown that he's willing to go there, and he is still willing to go there.

Kind of leaving that option, hanging out there, felt like a different thing than what General Kane was saying.
