Frank, let's just start with the basics here.
What does the United States want from a deal?
And then looking at Iran, Greg, what are they hoping to get out of these talks?
I guess I'm trying to figure out where this is headed if the two sides are not able to come to an agreement.
There has been a pretty massive buildup of U.S.
military power in the Middle East.
Do you have any thoughts on that, Greg?
Yeah, and I will note that Vice President J.D.
Vance said in an interview with The Washington Post that the sort of option three there, the more full-scale military intervention, it doesn't seem like there's appetite for that from the administration at this point.
Is that fair to say, Franco?
Greg, I want to ask about Israel, which is not a country we've mentioned yet.
They obviously have a lot of interests at play here.
Can you explain, I guess, what they're hoping comes out of these talks and how much they're playing into Trump's thinking?
Well, we're having this conversation about...
The possibility, the very real possibility of military intervention in Iran.
I guess I'm just curious how much of a threat Iran actually poses to the United States as we sit here today.
I do feel like generally speaking, when the United States is on the precipice of military action, like the country seems to be right now, presidents do communicate about that either with the American people or with Congress or both.
How has President Trump been doing that, I guess, as this whole Iran situation has developed over the last couple of weeks?
All right, we can take a quick break and more on all of this in just a moment.
