Well, I'm sure we'll talk about that throughout the podcast.
The president authorizes his lead negotiator and close friend, Steve Witkoff, to begin outreach to the Iranians.
And that's begun the Oman round.
And it's Oman round because it's taking place in Oman with mediation efforts by the Omanis.
There are five rounds of negotiations with the Iranians.
And through the course of those negotiations, the US finally puts on the table an offer for Iran.
We'll talk about the details of that.
The Iranians reject that offer.
And we're now into the sixth round, which is supposed to take place on a Sunday.
On the Thursday before the Sunday, the Israelis strike.
And they go after, in a rather devastating campaign over a matter of now 12 days, they go over and go after Iran's nuclear program, the key nuclear sites.
going after weapons scientists who are responsible for building Iran's nuclear weapons program, and also go after top IRGC, Islamic Revolutionary Guard commanders, as well as top military commanders.
And yet there's still this one site that is the most fortified site.
It's called Fordow.
It's an enrichment facility.
It's buried under a mountain, goes about 80 meters deep.
It's encased in concrete.
It has advanced centrifuges and highly enriched uranium.
The Israelis can do damage to it, but it's clear it's going to take the United States and our military power in order to severely degrade this facility.
And Trump orders the United States Air Force to fly B-2 bombers and drop 12 massive ordnance penetrators, which are these 30,000 pound bombs on Fordow in order to, as he said, obliterate it more realistically to severely degrade it.
