I'm Greg Myhre.

I cover national security.

Hey, Mary Louise.

Hi, Mary Louise.

Absolutely.

Trump went big, perhaps as big as you could go with the force that's been assembled there.

I mean, this was just a massive bombing campaign on day one by the U.S., by the Israelis as well.

You know, we're talking what appears to be hundreds of strikes, as best we can tell, maybe a dozen or so cities around their sites around the country that were hit.

Israel focused on going after top political leaders, including the supreme leader and the president, they say.

President Trump says the U.S.

will go after not only the nuclear program but the missile program and the navy.

And he told the Revolutionary Guards to lay down their weapons if they want to live.

So given the force that was assembled, which was large, but it was a Navy force and an Air Force, not a ground force, he absolutely chose the big option.

Question is, how long will this go on?

That's the part we don't know yet.

Absolutely.

And Trump was giving these very fuzzy, vague answers.

Oh, a negotiated deal would be great.

He was asked at one point, was he going to go for a limited option?

And he said, yeah, I'm considering that.
