On 10 June 2025, during the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran on its nuclear program, Kurilla said at a congressional hearing that he prepared a "wide range" of military options for President Donald Trump if negotiations fail.

Well let's see looks like some folks want President Trump to 'hurry up' and make his mind up on a decision that could have global effects, to say nothing of WW3.

Surely waiting to see if this can be worked out 'peacefully' would be more prudent?

Nothing of the sort has been said.

Two weeks gives Trump more time to campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize he wants to attach to his CV. I just saw the Pakistan government nominated him for it. That paves the way for all sorts of pro-Iran manipulation. And Trump will fall for it like a cat chasing a ball of yarn. American foreign policy essentially being made so Trump can win a prize.

Always best to go direct to source.

 

The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.

Hegseth tells Senate panel he's giving Trump "options" amid intensifying Iran-Israel conflict

"President Trump's word means something," Hegseth said. "The world understands that. And at the Defense Department, our job is to stand ready and prepared with options. And that's precisely what we're doing."

She clearly stated 3 months ago that Iran wasn't building a nuke. The "taken out of context" line is just desperation, Start packing, Tulsi.

Trump to make decision on US involvement 'within two weeks'

 

 An additional post over a month old article on Hegseth has been removed.

Hegseth and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine testified Wednesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, as the president mulls joining Israel's offensive against Iran.

"My job, our job, Chairman and I, at all times is to make sure we, the president, has options and is informed of what those options might be and what the ramifications of what those options might be," Hegseth said.

Democratic Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, criticized Hegseth and told him that while he's been at the helm,

the Pentagon has been "paralyzed by infighting and stripped of expert staff at a time when we need stability and professionalism."

Hegseth responded with a statement that the Defense Department is "executing a common-sense agenda to achieve peace through strength."

As expected. Lets see if more can be done in this period?

 

Europe-Iran talks yield little in Geneva at 'perilous' moment

GENEVA here were few signs of progress after European foreign ministers met their Iranian counterpart on Friday in a bid to prevent conflict in the Middle East from escalating, although all signaled readiness to keep talking, despite major sticking points.

The foreign ministers of Germany, Britain, France, known as the E3, plus the EU, urged Iran to engage with the United States over its contentious nuclear program even as Tehran has repeatedly insisted it will not open discussions with the Trump administration until Israeli strikes on Iran end.

The talks aimed to test Tehran's willingness to negotiate a new nuclear deal despite there being no obvious prospect of Israel ceasing its attacks soon, diplomats said.

You might want to ask those who you say are claiming Trump has changed his mind.

Hate him or love him, but I’d rather see him take a week or two to make a conscious, well-thought-out decision than act impulsively and drag the U.S. into this war.
 

This situation has the potential to lay the groundwork for a World War III scenario.

The US and Israel are just doing the world's dirty work for all, that others don't want to do because they are frail and weak worms that are scared of their non-native immigrants and scamming arrivals, that have managed to pollute our societies and culture. through lies.

Here's the obvious fact. Obama supported a deal to restrict and control uranium enrichment. Trump 1.0 trashed the agreement. Iran declared it was not bound any more by the agreement and accelerated it's enrichment program.

 

Trump's is now trying to solve a situation he largely contributed to create.

The criticism of Trump’s ‘2weeks’ remark is not about the time period, but the fact that it’s his go to response to so many decisions that need to be made.

 

It’s a response that is clearly not based on any other than Trump’s incompetence.

 

He doesn’t have answers he doesn’t have a plan, he lacks any semblance of competence.

Those who pay attention to the gap between what Trump promises and what he delivers recognize his constant use of ‘2 weeks’ for what it is, yet more evidence of a weak man who has no idea what he is doing.

  Didn't Trump say "within two weeks" he  would make a decision ? 

And indeed he did make a decision in the stated timeframe
