Gentlemen.

Robert.

So, what shall we talk about, huh?

Oh, I don't know, let's see here.

Uh, Israel struck Iran?

Huh?

Tell me we did not authorize this.

We didn't.

Israel acted unilaterally.

F-35s flew out of Negev 4 hours ago.

Radar systems

communication nodes near the towns.

No direct hits on nuclear cores, but key infrastructure was disabled.

Infrastructure?

Got it.

They didn't just hit the infrastructure.

They took out the head.

Iran's Chief of Staff, Salami, 2 nuclear scientists, even a senior advisor to Khomeini, all gone.

You know, Tel, I'm screaming sabotage right now.

The IRGC, yeah, they took a hit.

Hezbollah is rattling sabers and Hormuz is one, one missile away from shutting down.

We didn't greenlight it.

Nor did we stop it either, Robert.

And now oil has spiked 9%.

There's cyber disruption in Bahrain and Kuwait, and everyone, and I mean everyone thinks there's stars and stripes painted on those jets dropping bombs.

Centcom's on standby.

DEFCON posture raised.

2 carrier groups repositioned.

We're here to contain, not to ignite.

Oh, spare me the doctrine.

You can't contain a country whose radar network just got turned to ash on global television.

That's exactly why we hit pause.

No US ordinance.

No joint op.

We told Tel Aviv back channel only.

They went rogue.

And now we're stuck playing janitor in a room full of gasoline.

So at least do this much for me, okay?

Tell me, tell me what is Tehran planning?

Mobilizing all along the southern coast.

Anti-ship batteries, drone activity spiking near the Strait.

We've got 2 destroyers on intercept radars.

So what's the play here?

Publicly?

De-escalation.

Privately, we're bracing for a cyber hit or a proxy launch on US assets in Iraq or Syria.

And if Iran fires directly?

Then the region blinks and we spend the next decade trying to turn the lights back on.

Oh, well then someone better say it, on camera, I don't know, maybe now?

That we didn't authorize this, that we do not want a war.

Because Robert, you and me both know, silence, especially right now, that's complicity with consequences.

All

We brief the president at 0200.

Until then, we don't sleep.

We posture, we pray, and we prepare.

And if you're wondering where the White House stands, Trump just went live, called it clean words.

Said, and I quote, "If Iran doesn't come to the table, Israel's next round will be more brutal.

They should act before there's nothing left to protect."

So you have fun talking with your friends.
