Well, Matt, it does seem to be a narrative that is changing each and every day.

At this time yesterday, we were talking about President Trump, who was openly threatening publicly on true social to potentially attack Iranian energy infrastructure, even water infrastructure like desalination plants.

If Iran did not reach a deal with the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, then you have fresh reporting in The Wall Street Journal that he has privately told aides.

around him, according to people familiar with the matter, that he would be willing to wrap up the primary military and naval operations right now, like destroying the Iranian Navy and other military targets, without actually securing the reopening of the strait, leaving that either to diplomacy or potentially for other countries to step in to try to secure.

And that would be in keeping with what we're hearing from the president on True Social this morning, specifically when it pertains to jet fuel.

He talks about other countries, including the United Kingdom, who need jet fuel.

and aren't getting it right now out of the Middle East, that he would suggest either, number one, you buy that from the United States.

He argues that we have plenty of jet fuel.

Or you go into the Strait yourself to try to secure it.

He actually said, and this is a quote, go get your own oil.

So it does seem to be building on this narrative of the president, which we have been hearing for weeks now, pushing other countries to step in more acutely in the Middle East, either to secure the Strait of Hormuz or otherwise support Israel.

U.S.

operations that do still remain ongoing when it comes to Iran.

Of course, we've had thousands of more American military personnel service members arriving in the theater over just the last several days.

We heard once again from the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair, Dan Cain, about ongoing military operations.

Some 11,000 targets still struck.

And Pete Hegseth did echo the president in saying more could be targeted if indeed no deal is reached, Matt.

All the stories that hit home on your days off.
