Until then, of course, there had been fear, and frankly, overnight in the oil market, panic.

Oil had gone well above $100 a barrel.

It was absolutely incredible what we witnessed.

It was at the highest in four years.

There was worry and fear and panic, as I said, about a global economic catastrophe.

But it is clear tonight, long after the markets have formally closed, that Trump, at least for now, does not have an intention of ramping the war down.

In fact, CNN is learning this hour that the Trump administration is considering a highly complex and risky operation to retrieve Iran's known highly enriched uranium.

Now, that would be a massive mission that would require boots on the ground.

It would require significant forces, special forces, and it would put a significant number of American ground troops in harm's way.

Robert Kelly is a former chief nuclear inspector for the IAEA.

He told Out Front that the United States, in his view, probably doesn't even really have a clue where that uranium is.

He said, quote, it can be split up into so many batches, so it's probably not all in one place.

Seems like a script for a suicide mission with little chance of success.

Susan Collins has indicated support for us, so we're up to 50, which means we're in a position where we would survive a motion to proceed to this.

Motion to proceed to a House pass message takes place at a simple majority vote.

J.D.

Vance being available to break the tie, and I'm still hopeful that we'll pick up a small handful of other senators along the way.

The next step after that is where it gets interesting because we don't have anything close to 60 votes at this point.
