Yeah. And like, I just I've seen people that I think they're smart and respect equating those two. And it's like, guys, we don't need to do that.

Yeah. Final thing, Ben, I just want to highlight some reporting in the last couple of weeks on Iran's nuclear program. So the Wall Street Journal had the headline, Israel sees opening for strikes on Iranian nuclear site, U.S. intelligence finds. The Post seemed to have gotten the same document. It said Israel likely to strike Iran in upcoming months, warns U.S. intelligence.

This intelligence said Israel is likely to attempt a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in the first six months of 2025. Trump had recently kind of, I think, truth or tweeted that. quote, reports that the United States working in conjunction with Israel is going to blow Iran into smithereens are greatly exaggerated. So that suggests he's leaning towards a more diplomatic solution.

But reading these reports, Ben, it reminded me of the first couple months of the Obama administration when Jeff Goldberg, our buddy from the Atlantic, clearly did a reporting trip to Israel, got fed by... 50,000 Israeli cabinet officials that they were gonna bomb Iran in six months, brought that story back to us. We had to kind of deal with the fallout.

This is a little different because this reporting in the journal and the post is coming from some sort of leaked US intelligence product, but the net effect is the same thing, which is a pressure campaign on the United States to do something with respect to Iran's nuclear program soon, or else Iran's gonna take action. Now, I'm not sure how that pressure campaign works with Trump,

Because, like, I just don't know what he thinks about this, but it was weird to see these reports, and I wonder what you made of these leaks.

Yeah, I think like at the end of the day, Netanyahu's preferred outcome would be drawing the U.S. into this to do his dirty work for him, like with everything else and bomb Iran's nuclear program. But I hope Trump will resist that.
