One, the Russian track, which I think in some ways might be the more important one.

And then secondly, what is also known as the Istanbul track.

And there were discussions in both capitals

about how to avoid a war.

And it appears as we're heading into Friday, that number one, the entire region is getting involved, including Turkey, including Saudi Arabia, including others, including Qatar.

And additionally, Trump is not only sending Wyckoff, but he's also sending

Jared Kushner, his son-in-law.

So it seems as if it's all of the heavies to get a last-minute negotiation.

Per multiple reports, the Iranians have offered to move more nuclear material out of the country, which would seemingly be a concession that the US strikes last June.

uh did not get all the nuclear material and then it's very possible that they might agree to further abrogate their program beyond levels that they had even conceded so it is very possible that that trump is able to get a deal that is better than jcpoa better than the obama iran deal

There's a lot going on, though, as you allude to.

This Gabbard story comes across the wire in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal this morning, Monday on the 2nd.

And it is curious, the timing.

Apparently, there was a whistleblower complaint about her last spring.

This was as Gabbard sort of fell out of the president's

good graces, and Gabbard testified to Congress that the Iranian nuclear program was not a major threat to the United States, which of course it is not as it currently stands.

And it is a question of whether or not there's an effort to further sideline Gabbard again, because Gabbard's in this unusual position, right?

She has not been fired.

She has one of the big four national security jobs, along with Sec State, NSA, and Secretary of War.
