Kurt Mills

We are the American Conservative.

We are at theamericanconservative.com, founded in 2002 by Pat Buchanan and others against the Iraq war.

I am at Kurt Mills at C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S on X. And look, we are on the right and we oppose the Bush administration going to war in Iraq.

And if we have to, we'll oppose this administration going to war in Iran.

But I hope we don't have to do it.

So.

Yeah, so I think yesterday was a big deal for potentially avoiding a war with Iran.

Number one, as you flagged yesterday, the prime minister of Israel's interest into the White House was unusual.

It was done through the side door.

That's not really how a head of state is generally treated.

Marco Rubio looked a little bit uncomfortable with him, and the Israeli press has picked up on this, saying that Netanyahu's visit this time was done with much less pomp and circumstance and that that was relevant.

Secondarily, the Turks, most notably the foreign minister, Faydan,

is messaging explicitly, it's unclear if this is true, but they haven't gotten anything wrong yet.

They are messaging explicitly that the administration is weighing a low enrichment deal with the Iranians.

This is a big deal.

So essentially, what this means is that the US would agree to a deal that would have a lower, much lower potentially, level of enrichment than the Obama era JCPOA.

But so it's a better, it's a stronger deal, but it also avoids a war.

that other people have they're going to take down our oil and gas industry for maybe half a decade sir i think the first point you make there's some ambiguity uh the president has been most adamant about no nuclear weapon uh he hasn't been and has been very conspicuous throughout this process he hasn't been adamant generally speaking about no enrichment or no ballistic missiles these are the israeli asks and he has not been messaging that uh unless it's like a true social that occasionally seems almost like it was written for him

or an off-the-cuff comment.

The clear messaging is no nuclear weapon.
