Hello, it's Sarah here in the BBC's Washington Bureau.
voice-verified
And Justin, it's with some trepidation um I want to start a conversation about what's going on with Donald Trump and Iran.
voice-verified
Because although there's bits of news every day coming out, it's so difficult to get a real grip on what's actually happening and what direction we're going in.
voice-verified
And the more I kind of angst about how to
voice-verified
analyse this, how to express it, the more I'm realising I think
voice-verified
that Donald Trump doesn't really understand where we are or where we're going either.
voice-verified
So let's try and e explore that and see if we can make some sense of uh of what the strategy, if there is one, is that's going on right now.
voice-verified
Yeah, it's getting more and more confusing what he's saying and it's more and more contradictory as well.
voice-verified
Throughout the course of the conflict with Iran, he's often made some quite
voice-verified
Optimistics, maybe the generous way of putting it.
voice-verified
Statements about being close to a deal.
voice-verified
Quite often he said them it appeared in order to kind of boost the markets a bit uh if they were getting the jitters about the oil price.
voice-verified
But it's it's more erratic now what he's been saying.
voice-verified
Let's just go through the last couple of days.
voice-verified
On Monday, we had him threatening to bomb Oman, a US ally, who's talking to Iran at the moment about trying to reopen the Strait of Horror.
voice-verified
Hormuz.
voice-verified
He was going to bomb them to S, um, he said, if they got in the way of a deal.
voice-verified
And on the same day he said that he had back channel negotiations going on with the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
voice-verified
which was denied by Iran.
