Exclusive: Trump’s decision will be driven by envoys’ judgment on whether Iran is stalling on a nuclear deal
Donald Trump’s decision to order airstrikes against Iran will hinge in part on the judgment of Trump’s special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, about whether Tehran is stalling over a deal to relinquish its capacity to produce nuclear weapons, according to people familiar with the matter.
The president has not made a final determination on any strikes, as the administration prepares for Iran to send its latest proposal this week, ahead of what officials have described as a last-ditch round of negotiations scheduled for Thursday in Geneva.
Those talks will be led by Witkoff and Kushner, whose assessment on the likelihood of a deal will shape Trump’s calculus. If there is no deal, Trump has told advisers he is considering limited strikes to pressure Iran and, failing that, a far larger attack to force regime change.
This fucker is going to get 1000s of sailors killed. The 2002 war game showed how inadequate the navy is prepared for asymmetrical warfare
Which is FAFO on the sailors’ part. The thing that’s outrageous is the civilians who will be murdered.
Oh, come on, that’s ridiculous. That was 24 years ago. The New Modern Navy has done great in the Middle East. It was just a few months ago the the USS Gettysburg shot down an enemy F-18 and almost got his wingman. They even managed to almost splash a Sea King helo that was entirely to close to the ship! This Navy is definitely prepared, and I’m sure nothing will go wrong.
Remember when they dropped a plane into the sea? Twice.

Psh…What’s a Growler even cost? Like $10?
Considering Trump wants to give the Pentagon 500 billion dollars more, they could afford another 8000 of them.
they were donating reefs to the sea.
trump, like his father, and his fathers father think servicemembers are “suckers and losers”
I mean, if they’re following orders from this piece of shit and kegsbreath in the name of Israel, maybe they are. Big difference in fighting for your country and killing for tyrannical whim. Just because you bare the title soldier doesn’t make you impervious to criticism, despite the sacrifice it requires either way.
