It's a jarring shift.

Trump was very much in an aggressive posture over the weekend.

And here comes now where he's talking about de-escalating this and having talks and really seeking a way out.

Yeah, this is definitely the most concrete, though, again, a lot of details remain unsettled and unknown.

They want to decapitate Iran's nuclear capabilities and get its enriched materials, etc.

But it seems like a more concerted effort from the White House to get something done here.

Trump is facing immense pressure economically and politically back home.

So this represents a more major push if it comes to fruition.

They denied having any talks and sort of mocked Trump for trying to find a way out simply to satisfy and calm down U.S.

markets.

It appears that much of the talking is going on through intermediaries in the Gulf.

These countries are desperate to find an end to this war.

They are getting hit and fear additional retaliation, especially if Trump followed through on hitting Iran's energy capabilities.

So they are trying to play middleman here.

And it appears like there may be at least a crack in the window of making that happen.

The challenges remain immense here.

This is a decidedly intense war, much more intense than the U.S.

thought, certainly Trump thought.

And Gulf partners are getting pounded themselves and drawn into this.

President Trump has said he was surprised that Iran would go after them.
