Anders Hagstrom over on Fox isn\u2019t giving the identity of his sources, but we find his reporting convincing based on everything else going on. He says there is going to be a Situation Room meeting tomorrow morning to discuss next options on Iran.<\/p>\n

The leadership in Tehran thinks that if it can hold out for a few weeks- a month perhaps, they will exhaust America\u2019s patience for what could be another “forever war\u201d with an election looming and gas prices high.<\/p>\n

Their assumption they can out wait Mr. Trump as they have the other American Presidents for 47 years may be erroneous. At Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, the crews will be walking to the big jets as soon as the meeting concludes. The carrier pilots can rest a few hours as the B-2s fly around the world.<\/p>\n

The question really is which clocks and how far in the air they are intended to go.<\/p>\n

The clock is ticking. Expect something by Wednesday.<\/p>\n
