No, I don't, Tommy.

And actually, the Iran nuclear deal has never looked better, which may be why Trump is trashing it.

I think most Americans, almost all Americans, would rather that we be in year 10 of the JCPOA than we be in this kind of incoherent war with Iran that is costing us tens of billions of dollars, has already killed American service members, and is wreaking havoc on the global economy.

Yeah.

And the whole deal would have sunsetted.

The strictest provisions would have sunsetted.

But, you know, I mean, frankly, Trump could have negotiated it two days ago.

I mean, it is worth just saying they are completely full of shit about the need to do this now.

There was no imminent threat from the nuclear program.

There was no distinct threat from the ballistic missile program that was any different than the, you know,

How many ever many years Iran has had busing missiles, you know, 20 years.

This happened now because Bibi Netanyahu wanted it to happen now.

I mean, there's no really other explanation.

It was it was the Israelis who started going trumping like now's the time they're weak.

And then in Lindsey Graham going to Trump and saying you can be the man that took out the supreme leader, be historic and Reagan on steroids and all this.

Like the timing was determined by kind of Israeli interest in Trump's ego like that.

That's the convergence of timing here.

This is such an insult to our intelligence, Jonathan Greenblatt to the world, because Bibi Netanyahu put out a video like yesterday in which he said that he's wanted to do this for 40 years.

And he finally got a U.S.

president to do it.
