In this extremely sensitive stage of the talks, the last thing needed - beyond the exchange of fire - is rhetoric that pours more fuel on the fire. During the campaign, Trump showed great message discipline on Iran; that's what he needs to do now, instead of the below:

Trump: "He [Saudi Arabia's MBS] didn't think he'd be kissing my ass... But now he has to be nice to me." This is the choice the GCC will face post-war. If it moves toward deeper dependence on the US to balance Iran, they'll become spineless vassals similar to Europe, who have to "kiss Trump's ass."

.@AJEnglish asked me if Trump could have achieved the same outcome without war. What the war did, in my view, was that the US came to realize that war does not work and, as a result, the US needed a deal that ensured long-term peace. That's the impact of having tried war.

Told @BeckyCNN that Trump's escalation appears driven by frustration that his blockade has failed, but if he truly brings US naval ships into the Persian Gulf, he will give Iran more targets and risk US casualties in a manner that he had managed to avoid during the war itself.

Part of my debate with Matt Kroenig as to whether Trump's Iran war is legitimate: KROENIG: "The US is being a responsible power following the law of armed conflict and only going after legitimate military targets." PARSI: “Does that include the girl's school in which 165 children were killed?”

Perhaps the most important thing @joekent16jan19 told @TuckerCarlson is that the deal to end the war will necessitate some sanctions relief for Tehran - and that it lies in the US's economic interest to lift sanctions:

Told @cnn that Iran wasn't pursuing a nuclear weapon according to US intelligence services before the war, but the war may dramatically incentivize them to go in that direction if a deal is not reached.

Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Iran is in dire need of sanctions relief, and it can only lock in its gains in the war through a deal. Trump desperately needs to end the war before it does more damage to his presidency and to the GOP.

First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime. Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV deems the Iran War unjust. Says it isn't “solving anything,” only spreading more hate. He then goes on to urge Americans to call Congress and press lawmakers to end the war and work for peace.

Los Angeles needs 450k units of housing today. I’m going to Congress to finally fully fund Section 8 and get people housed. Make it federal policy for LA to upzone to multi-family home zones everywhere and to modernize permitting. Solve housing and we solve affordability, jobs and homelessness.

Dr Jonathan Reiner: "One other interesting thing I noted was that when the president left Walter Reed, he posted that he had a perfect '6 month physical.' So we're changing from a routine yearly physical to, I guess as a nod to his age, a 6 month cycle for evaluations."

In a tense match, the urge to change everything is real. But before making it permanent, ask: is it forever or just for now? Don't do something permanently stupid because you are temporarily upset. Protect and refresh your gear confidently. Breathe, reset, and change your gear, not your fate. 😉💡
