But if we've learned anything about Trump is that he talks to a lot of people.

And who he talks to...

And what they're proposing is typically not a signal as to where he is heading.

He keeps everyone guessing.

He maintains optionality.

You'll recall in June of 2025, two weeks before the operation against Fordow, he was deep in negotiations, and there was all this press speculation that what he wanted was some kind of negotiated outwith

With the regime in Iran.

And then, boom, he joined the Operation Midnight Hammer.

Fast forward to February.

Negotiations are going on.

Kushner and Witkoff are there.

The Omani foreign minister says there's stuff happening.

And then there we go.

End of February, beginning of June.

Epic fury.

So I think.

Reading into what game Trump is playing with negotiations on, negotiations off, negotiations on again, this person heard him say this, this person's presenting that, who knows?

There are about four to five people in Trump's orbit that actually know what's going on.

And I would say maybe that circle's even smaller than that.

So that's the first thing.
