Trump is very attuned to the politics of the moment.

He can see the polls.

He can see how the split among his own supporters who were concerned about this dragging on.

And Trump also knows how to employ a strong yet simple language and kind of repeating it over and over again as a rebranding tool.

White House officials are expected to press contractors to accelerate weapons production.

Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said the president would be joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth.

U.S.

officials who were not authorized to speak publicly told NPR that they are concerned about a lack of missile interceptors and may have to draw from other stockpiles.

Levin and other officials have pushed back on those concerns, saying the U.S.

has more than enough weapons.

President Trump has predicted fighting will continue for the next four to five weeks.

He's repeatedly said that Iran has wanted to reach a deal, but this morning he wrote on social media that he'll accept no deal except, quote, unconditional surrender.

He continued that after an acceptable leader is chosen, the U.S.

will work with partners to bring Iran back and rebuild its economy.

He closed by writing, Iran will have a great future.

Make Iran great again.

Adding in parentheses, M-I-G-A, MIGA.

Clearly a play on MAGA.

The Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the initial airstrikes in Tehran on Saturday.
