00:00The thing about President Trump is he has demonstrated a interest in maintaining the
00:06element of strategic surprise at all points in his presidency in Venezuela, in Iran, upon
00:13multiple occasions. So while he says we're taking a pause for diplomacy, it's possible that that
00:22could be the predicate to another strike. Likewise, as he says, Iran could use another punch in the
00:28nose, that might be to spur the diplomacy effort. So it is difficult to say. Both President Trump and
00:38Iran seem to be spending a lot of time signaling one thing or the other to each other. And really,
00:47until something happens, it's hard to predict. Nevertheless, the United States maintains an
00:53enormous force in place and certainly has the capability and capacity to turn on the tap
01:03full force, militarily speaking, against Iran whenever it wishes to, if it wishes to.
