Riyadh, let's start with you and President Trump's increasing involvement.
00:05
Today he has said, I may do, I may not, when asked if the U.S. will join Israeli strikes on Iran.
00:13
He's keeping us guessing, Riyadh, but what is the reality?
00:18
Well, the reality is that we have forces being mobilized in the region.
00:25
We have warplanes, we have now two aircraft carriers headed to the region,
00:34
air refueling tankers already deployed in the region.
00:39
And we've seen a lot of, in the rhetoric, President Trump yesterday was talking in the terms,
00:50
in the first person, in terms of we have achieved as a priority,
00:56
although the U.S. is not involved right now in the conflict, and it is the Israeli warplanes,
01:03
but he's talking in the first person, which means that, in heart,
01:08
it seems that President Trump is in this war right now.
01:14
So, this rhetoric could be either as a means of pressure, psychological warfare, on the Iranians,
01:23
but also it could be as to, you know, keep them guessing,
01:29
as we saw prior to the start of this conflict.
01:33
Some observers went as far as believing that President Trump was in cahoots with Prime Minister Netanyahu
01:42
and misleading the Iranians, to which allowed Israelis to launch this surprise attack on the Iranians.
01:51
So, right now, based on the facts on the ground, the U.S. is preparing for a military action,
02:02
even though they're talking about just possibly attacking Fordu, the nuclear side.
02:11
However, if the U.S. was to get involved militarily, it's going to be all out.
02:17
I mean, the U.S. is not going to go in just to strike one target and sit back and wait for the Iranians to fire back at them
02:26
because Iran has warned and threatened that it's going to be targeting U.S. bases in the region.
02:33
The U.S. is going to go in, hit the nuclear sites,
02:37
but also preempt all the Iranian missile bases that have missiles targeting the U.S. bases in the region.
02:48
So, it's going to be all in, not just a military operation.
