Jen Psaki

It feels like every couple of days.

How do you hear that?

What are you listening for?

We all hear numbers and it feels like, wow, there are a lot of troops that are going to the Middle East.

What else?

What kind of language or vernacular from the Pentagon are you listening for where you think, OK, they're deploying these troops and they're going to be fighting on the ground in Iran?

of the questions I've been thinking about, and it feels that they're talking about negotiations.

They're talking about, obviously, what's happening in Pakistan, what countries are going to be involved.

You've been involved in so many of these negotiations in the past.

It is not easy to just get a negotiated deal done with the Iranians, to state the obvious, or it hasn't been historically.

And it could be a long process.

What happens if that negotiation does not work, does not go anywhere, is too slow for Trump's

tastes and he walks away.

What is the impact?

What is left in the region?

Admiral Kirby, let me ask you just about how the Pentagon has been communicating about this, because Secretary Hegseth has obviously given a number of briefings.

He's berated the press.

They've moved the Pentagon press corps to or tried to move them to an annex.

They've kicked them out.

There have been a number of steps that have been taken.
