Obviously, the big story, the Pentagon says three of Iran's nuclear sites sustained extremely severe damage following the US strikes over the weekend, but it's too soon to know whether Iran still has nuclear capabilities.

And the administration is saying different things, including J.D. Vance versus the president, et cetera.

President Trump declared the mission a spectacular military success on Saturday, and he claimed the nuclear sites were completely and totally obliterated.

Trump also said the strikes should force Iran to make peace and threaten future attacks if it doesn't happen.

Iran's foreign minister is calling the attacks outrageous and warning of everlasting consequences.

Trump is also now floating the idea of regime change in Iran, posting on Truth Social, "Make Iran great again," or MIGA.

Though the vice president, J.D. Vance, said on Meet the Press, "The US is not at war with Iran, we're at war with Iran's nuclear program." Vance also attempted to explain why this attack won't lead to a broader US involvement in the Middle East.
I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East.
I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then, we had dumb presidents, and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives.
So this is not gonna be some long, drawn-out thing.
We've got in, we've done the job of setting their nuclear program back.
We're gonna now work to permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years, and that is what the president has set out to do.

A lot of the other people in the administration are countering what Trump is saying.

Uh, General Kane in particular was like, "We don't know," because he's an adult and he can say they don't know.
