Now, if it feels like we've heard that statement before...
It's because we have.
It's hard for anyone to dispute that a pattern has developed throughout this conflict.
There's a loose deal in place.
Iran violates the deal.
Fighting ensues.
Trump threatens enormous attack and then calls them off, saying that a deal is near.
And then it all starts over again.
So it does appear that the two sides in this case are still talking.
But most folks in Washington just are not holding their breath, waiting for a permanent peace deal to be announced anytime soon.
Right.
Yeah, as I often say when discussing this topic, it depends, again, who you ask.
In recent weeks, there have been more and more reports from the Pentagon that U.S.
air defense stockpiles are rapidly depleting and that we could be stalling because we need more time to replenish them.
For his part, President Trump has denied those reports, saying inventories are, quote, in very good shape.
And there are former Pentagon officials who I've talked to that said that this also could be a strategic play to drum up more defense spending in Congress.
But there is no doubt that the sophisticated Patriot and THAAD missiles, those are the primary means of defending our bases and other assets in the region, are being used fast.
And they take quite a bit of time and also a lot of money to manufacture.
So that definitely could be playing into President Trump's calculus.
From a strategic standpoint, there has also been mounting pressure from a lot of our allies throughout the Middle East to de-escalate this conflict and avoid any further fighting.
