Although you never know, there might be some sort of compromises that they might make that would be acceptable to the U.S.,
Well, Trump has said that the fighting could go on for another four weeks.
Unclear if it would really last that long.
But Israel and the United States have signaled that there's a lot of targets that they still want to hit.
You know, today they were focusing on sinking the Iranian Navy.
And for Iran, they used a number of their ballistic missiles in retaliatory attacks over the last couple of days, but they are believed to still have many missiles in reserve.
We don't know yet how many of those the U.S.
might have destroyed, but for sure they're holding some missiles in reserve so that they continue to retaliate.
And beyond military retaliation, one of the worries with Iran is what they would call asymmetric retaliation, which could come in the form of terrorist attacks by Iran or by its proxies.
Those could happen soon.
They could happen over months, over years.
You just don't know.
So they have various ways of fighting back.
Iran's foreign minister said that they had reached an understanding on, quote, guiding principles.
Vice President J.D.
Vance, who was not in the talks but briefed on them, came out and said that in some ways talks had gone well and pointed out that both sides had agreed to meet again.
I think the threats are quite serious.
I mean, the U.S.
has put in place a really significant military force in the region.
You've got an aircraft carrier there, destroyers, air defense systems, many military aircraft are continuing to flow to the region.
