Let me just ask you about the latest, which is that President Trump seems to be opening a window, a door to the diplomatic channels, and says that he has not made a final decision on whether to get involved in this war militarily, essentially buying about two weeks of time before we know exactly what the U.S. are going to do. Yes, I think you're exactly right. I don't think his initial instinct or his basic instinct is to go to war.In fact, he returned to power on the promise of withdrawing the United State ...

Reports say President Trump is considering a potential US military strike on Iran after he posted yesterday demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Joining us right now is retired four-star Army General Wesley Clark who served as NATO Supreme Allied Commander for Europe. He's the chairman and CEO of Wesley K. Clark, an associates consulting firm. And and and sir, thank you for being with us today. General Clark, h how do you read all of the signs that we've all been trying to get our arms around and figur ...

to agree to a cease fire and would offer flexibility in nuclear negotiations in return. Joining us now is Wendy Sherman, former deputy secretary of state. Wendy also led the U.S. Negotiating team from 2011 to 2015 on an agreement that limited Iran's nuclear activity. Wendy, it's great to have you on the show.First of all, I mean, how much credence do you put in this reporting. Does it sound realistic that Iran would be trying to push the U.S. To come to the table at this point. >> Well, I would not be surpr ...

And this whole show of force, the military parade, the heavy-handed ICE raids, the crackdown on protests, it's all adapted from the playbooks of the foreign leaders Trump has long admired. Strong men like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and even Benjamin Netanyahu. Leaders who Trump has gone out of his way to publicly praise and align himself with.At times, he even fawns over them. It's creepy sometimes. He defends them when most other world leaders are not, when they certainly don't deserve to be defended.And ...

Donald Trump made a lot of big promises on the campaign trail. He was going to end the war in Ukraine on day one and the war in Gaza. He was going to ink a nuclear deal with Iran and defend American trade.But we are nearly 5 months into this administration. Not one of those things has happened, but the world doesn't seem to be waiting to see if it ever will. Ukraine and Israel are calling their own shots now.nuclear talks with Iran are in limbo and the US has less than a month to negotiate dozens and dozens ...

We need to think about the US role in all of this. This is what we know so far. We've been told they weren't involved in the attack. Do we know to what extent they played a role in the defense.Yeah. Well. Hey Jon, good morning.The US tried to swiftly sort of distance itself from this operation. You had Secretary of State Marco Rubio really coming out saying that the US is not involved and that their top priority is protecting US troops in the region. But now you have President Trump in this post on social j ...

Jonathan, we were just speaking to Karen there potentially about what this means for Iran's nuclear program. What is your assessment at this point. Well, the strikes are going to make the challenge of accounting for Iran's nuclear program vast, vastly more complicated.Don't forget, as of today, IAEA inspectors were in Iran, an average of more than one time a day visiting multiple sites. Iran has already announced a couple of weeks ago to International Atomic Energy Agency diplomats that any strike by Iran i ...
