There are talks between the US and Iranian sides on Thursday.

Maybe they'll get to a deal.

But again, it's not even clear what kind of deal Trump wants at this point.

Like every day there is a new.

leak about his thinking or the military options.

One report says he wants no enrichment, no nuclear enrichment from Iran.

And then the next day there's a report that says Trump might allow a deal where Iran has some sort of like token face saving amount of nuclear enrichment.

Other stories are focusing on the kind of wide range of military options he's considering.

So you get Alex Ward over at the Wall Street Journal

had the scoop that Trump was considering a, quote, initial limited military strike designed to pressure Iran into cutting a deal.

But then there's been other stories that say he's considering this massive range of strikes that include hitting nuclear sites, hitting missile sites, hitting, maybe bombing the IRGC headquarters.

Axios said Trump was presented a plan to kill the Supreme Leader and his son.

So that's nice.

They're keeping it in the family.

The only good news is it does seem like he's ruled out commando raids or boots on the ground in Iran, at least for now.

But I don't know.

It could change tomorrow.

This does like it feels like the final days before the Iraq war in 2003, except to your point earlier.

We don't know why they want to start the war now, what the end game is.

I guess maybe Trump doesn't either.
