We think it's over. I don't think they're going to be going back at each other. I don't think so.As you know, last weekend the United States successfully carried out a massive precision strike on Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities and it was very, very successful. It was called obliteration.

Remember, there are many targets left.Tonight's was the most difficult of them all by far and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.There's no military in the world that could have done what ...

Have we ever been in a situation where it's this unclear whether the US is going to get involved militarily in a conflict or not.Well, I think there have been multiple occasions when the US has been hesitant about entering into armed conflict. All I have to do is jump back 85 years at the time of Pearl Harbor and just immediately before that. While President Roosevelt was focused on assisti ...
