In this bit6 moments
  • Tulsi Gabbard appears to be on the outs with Trump, though reports conflict on whether that's actually true.
  • Trump claims Iran will have a nuclear weapon within weeks or months and says his intelligence community must be wrong when they contradict him.
  • Tim worries a prolonged Iran conflict would create a semi-permanent rift in Trump's coalition of supporters who want America First foreign policy.
  • Tim discusses the logistics of striking Iran's underground enrichment facility at Fordo, which sits 30 meters deep and would require bunker-busting bombs.
  • Iran built its nuclear enrichment facility deep inside a mountain, and only the US military has the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bomb that might reach it.
  • Beyond the bunker-busting plan, hawks want the Ayatollah gone, the regime toppled, and are encouraging people to rise up in the streets.
