Tim Miller

A lot of signaling towards actual ground troops.

Then this morning, he posts a bleat right before the markets open again, saying that the U.S.

is in serious negotiations with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in Iran.

A great progress has been made.

That's the beginning of the bleat.

Second half of the bleat.

If they don't do that, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all their electric generating plants, oil wells in Karg Island, and possibly all desalination plants, which we have purposely not yet touched.

So that's the message this morning from Trump.

We have a more reasonable regime that we're negotiating with.

If we don't do it, we'll do war crimes.

I should note that simultaneously to that bleat, Secretary of State Rubio was on Good Morning America.

He's been doing a ton of interviews.

And he said that there is someone that we're negotiating with but won't say who because it could get those people in trouble.

And there are some fractures going on internally in Iran, which doesn't seem that optimistic to me.

You know, if we can't even say who we're negotiating with, we have to have a secret counterparty because everyone in Iran is so mad at us that that counterparty might get...

you know, who knows, I don't know, overthrown if they seem to be too nice to us.

I guess my point is that doesn't really seem to be the thing that you say if you're on the brink of a breakthrough, which is we're negotiating with someone who we have to keep in secret because there are other people who really hate us internally.

I kind of have a little bit of a justification from Rubio over the weekend, but I want to save that for a second.

So it's been the most clear thing that we've heard, but I just want to run through a couple of the other news items first.

Another thing that we should have mentioned was that a plane sitting on the runway in Saudi was absolutely obliterated by an Iranian missile.
