What is the current US–Iran escalation and recent US military/diplomatic posture?
We have now had three days of relative calm after that 13-day stretch where we saw those night-by-night attacks, and it does come even after the president was threatening this major escalation in Iran. There was a discussion at the White House on Friday discussing both the efficacy of those night-by-night strikes, but also about the potential risks for escalation. And what we're told is that both the vice president, J.D. Vance, and General Dan Kaine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, raised concerns about escalation and that Kaine, in particular, has warned about the potential for dwindling stockpiles of U.S. munitions, including air defense interceptors. Now, the administration strongly denies that that is an issue.
What Mike Walz, the American ambassador to the United Nations, said yesterday is that, quote, the military has everything it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be. And also claiming somewhat contradictory there that anyone leaking information about weapons stockpiles deserves to be in jail. Now, there were a few other concerns that were raised in this meeting, including the potential for a wider regional retaliation. The president also hearing concerns about the potential for civilian deaths inside of Iran if he went after Iranians. some of those civilian infrastructure sites that he'd been repeatedly warning he would attack, including bridges, power plants, that sort of thing.
Now, what the administration is also saying today is that they want space for the diplomacy to proceed. And I am told this morning that that is still continuing. The mediators, including Pakistan and Qatar, still in discussions to try and get the two sides back to the negotiating table. You also have Iran and Oman discussing ways to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. What you've seen President Trump doing over the weekend It's continuing this relatively belligerent approach on social media. He posted almost a dozen AI generated images of the U.S. seizing oil tankers, of the U.S. striking Karg Island, including oil sites on that very critical export site. Now, the president.
Why did White House officials warn about munitions stockpiles and escalation risks?
still continuing to have these diplomatic discussions. He's also expected to discuss the whole situation with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He's visiting the US for Lindsey Graham's funeral tomorrow. Israel has made pretty clear that it thinks the US has unfinished business inside of Iran. Economic consequences for every historic and significant decision a president makes. And I am confident that in the end, President Trump will be judged as one of our greatest presidents for numerous reasons, but especially this courageous undertaking. And it may take time, context and perspective to understand how extraordinary, how extraordinary the president's actions are and how heroic they are under the circumstances.
Since it seems that every element of our society, except for you, Mr. and Mrs. America, are objecting to him doing what he's doing, which must be done. We have to take a step back here in that a lot of stockpiles were depleted, not only from what we gave Ukraine over the last however many years, four or five years, and the administration inherited The secretary, Secretary Hegseth, inherited a depleted situation from not only Ukraine, but also the ongoing fight with the Houthis under the Biden administration and a depleted military under the Biden administration. So they have decided, one, they're going to new types of munitions. cheaper munitions, new technologies, but also with these new defense budgets, rebuilding our great military.
However, I want to be clear.
Do you acknowledge they're depleted at this moment?
I want to be crystal clear. The U.S. military, and I've verified this every which way, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be. And I have to tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail.
A French journalist said that she asked President Trump whether he was considering resuming full-scale war.
