Good to see you both.
Yeah, it is unusual.
The president is not a huge fan of Camp David.
It is quite rustic for his tastes, but it is also extremely private and a quiet, secure place where if you need to make a very serious decision, that's an appropriate place to go.
And historically, that's when he's made his big decisions.
I think that shows you the urgency of it.
No, I mean, we can read the tea leaves a little bit.
You know, clearly there is a fissure emerging amongst the leadership of Iran.
You have the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the one hand.
Those are the folks who probably sent out the mine boats and prepared the missile launchers.
Then you have President Pazushkin and his administration.
They're the ones who seem to be doing things like loosening up the Internet access.
They might be more willing to deal on the nuclear program, but it's not clear there's a decision maker.
Well, it does seem to be calming down.
So if that was a rogue element of the IRGC and the Americans essentially put them back in their box, I can see the Iranians kind of taking that as an OK signal to send.
What I don't think they would tolerate right now is the resumption of actual hostilities.
The Israelis have said they're not planning to do anything like that in Iran.
for the time being, and that could be the kind of decision-making the president's going to take a look at if he thinks the deal is possible or if he thinks we need to start planning for more kinetic action.
I don't think so.
I think, you know, the deal looks pretty straightforward.
