I mean, the pretty hawkish nuclear expert who I think is, who is a professional, I don't agree with his politics, but David Albright has signaled that the Iranians are beginning to hide nuclear weapons.
Sorry, not nuclear weapons, nuclear material, again, underground further to try to shield them from bombing.
So there is evidence that, you know, look, that the Iranians could be stalling, but I think the overriding
uh story here is that this is a basically a bureaucratic uh autocratic uh you know almost sovietized part of the world and that that they are pretty slow in negotiating in fact they still maintain that they want to do indirect negotiations which these are sort of bizarre situations in which you know wickhoff's in one room the foreign minister arachi's in another room they're not doing themselves any favor uh but i mean going to full-scale war
because the Iranians' tactical decisions diplomatically are goofy, I'm not really sure is in the American interest.
I'm not sure.
I mean, number one, I think to answer your question directly, that would potentially impair all the negotiations between the United States and Iran.
And the president seems to like these talks going on just to have the talks.
I mean, say what you will for the Iranians, but the president is negotiating
a number of world conflicts right now and likes to be part of the conversation.
And supporting a military action led by Israel on Iran isn't exactly the act of an interested party.
So I think the Iranians would discontinue it.
And then additionally, I'm not sure there's full trust from the Israelis, actually, that if the Israelis led the attack, number one, that they could decapitate the regime.
All the reporting since the beginning of the administration is that they feel that they can't.
They couldn't bomb Ferdow and they can't even do a lot of these special operations without U.S.
air support.
That's all the reporting and that's all the military understanding that I have on that front.
And then secondarily, there is the precedent.
It's a small precedent comparatively of Yemen.
So the president got into a new war in Yemen with the Houthis last spring, and then he left it.
