And both he and Bibi come out and say that they have successfully dismantled the sites and they have set Iran's nuclear program back a generation.

So how did we then get from Trump okaying that kind of limited strike that was declared so successful to now this much more extreme campaign that is aimed at dismantling an entire regime?

But just to be clear, what you're saying is they did not actually set Iran's nuclear program back a generation and that the threat was very much still present and everyone knew that.

And what is the case that Netanyahu makes at that point?

And what you're saying is that he is convincing the Israeli military, building a plan to go forward with this as he goes to meet with Trump.

So with all that in mind, what happens when Bibi gets to Mar-a-Lago?

What does he say to Trump?

So Netanyahu is saying there is an imminent threat to Israel posed by Iran.

First of all, is that true, Mark?

And second of all, he's not at this point talking about any direct threat that Iran is posing to the U.S.

at this time, right?

That's not part of the case.

Right.

And you're saying Bibi is reminding Trump of that.

These guys tried to kill you, remember?

There's an interesting contradiction here, right?

I mean, the first argument Bibi's making is Iran poses an imminent threat, a.k.a.

Iran is strong.

The second argument is Iran is weak, so we should strike them while they're down.

I mean, both of those reasons end in we should strike Iran.
