And I mean, there are three options, right?
The first option is a limited strike in which Trump then says again, hey, we totally destroyed it for real this time.
Now it's really double completely obliterated.
Yeah, right.
Another is decapitation, where you eliminate like the top five mullahs, right?
And you put your own Delcy Rodriguez in.
And the third is a regime change.
Regime change suggests something much broader than decapitation.
Like, it isn't enough to say that, like, we're going to swap out the mullahs for the IRGC.
We are getting an entirely new governing construct.
And it is interesting that Trump chose the Levin quote, which is about regime change.
But of course, that's probably giving Trump too much credit.
He just thinks like, oh, I got to find somebody on our side who is in favor of this and I'll I'll puff them up.
But I don't know.
What do you think is the most likely thing here?
Yeah, I think the Netanyahu answer is probably most likely.
I mean, honestly, if Trump needed distractions, he'd just pick a fight with like the U.S.
women's hockey team.
Right.
You could do that this week.
