We know the positions of people, but based on the context, when you turn it, that image turns drastically differently and there is as much politics in this question as there is policy in this question.

PDB Situation Report | May 24th, 2025: U.S. Intel: Israeli Strike Incoming & Trump Reveals The Golden Dome

I think the president means what he says and he's been pretty clear at least on this front of he does not want the Islamic Republic to get a nuclear weapon but even when he was campaigning before term one, his whole thing was about making deals even in places where potentially that might not be possible or hard or feasible or where it may come with political constraints.

You know, his line was back then and it remains true today, I buy bad deals, I make them good deals. You know, you saw that with North Korea. But with North Korea, he learned and when there was really no chance, he was willing to walk away. Now, that didn't convince a larger war and didn't lead to a larger strike.

But I think with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the president has said that he doesn't want to have to do the military option. but he's willing to at least put it on the table and make it meaningful over time. So, I think every threat with respect to this president, every option with respect to this president is credible.
