One of the things that so many of us are talking about right now is as we celebrate his incredible life of service and leadership,

is also to be recommitted to the vision of that leadership at a time when it has never been more critical.

Yeah, President Trump says a deal on Iran's nuclear program is his preference.

And Iran says it's open to additional talks after the latest round last Tuesday in Geneva.

Here's what Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said yesterday on the MSNOW program, Morning Joe.

The problem is the two sides still appear far apart.

Iran seems to be talking about some limited concessions here.

Trump wants Iran to effectively give up its nuclear program and also scale back its missile program and stop supporting militias in the region.

And right now, Scott, no additional talks are planned.

Yeah, he has a range of options now that U.S.

forces have reached a critical mass in the region.

Scott, we're talking about two aircraft carriers, more than a dozen ships, perhaps a couple hundred warplanes, all this spread around the region.

Now, at one end of the spectrum, Trump could opt for a brief limited military strike and then pause the attack and give Iran another chance to negotiate.

Trump was asked about this scenario Friday and said, quote, I guess I can say I'm considering it.

Yeah, Trump has also expressed support for regime change in Iran, and that would almost certainly require a large scale military operation.

The president has been very aggressive about using the military in the second term, but they've been mostly quick one and done strikes.

The current U.S.

force appears to have the capability to bomb for weeks or even longer.

But we should stress the U.S.

force is built on fighter jets that would strike from the sky and Navy ships that would fire long distance from the seas.
