And the edict is simply, you can&#8217;t have a nuclear weapon. So that&#8217;s number one.  Number two, on the gas tax issue, it feels to me like there actually might be some bipartisan momentum for doing that thing on Washington. I think most people would agree that sounds like a good idea. And number three, the wild card in all of this, to me, is the President&#8217;s trip to China, because obviously China gets all this oil from Iran.  My suspicion is this topic will be on the table for President Trump to talk to President Xi about and see if they can bring some Chinese pressure to bear to help end it. So I think this is a pivotal week because the China meeting in the middle, but also, you know, let&#8217;s be honest, if he&#8217;s saying the ceasefire is like at 1%, you know, life support, you know, to me, what I hear, attacks, you know, will begin imminently. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/05\/11\/scott_jennings_were_going_to_have_to_attack_iran_again_if_we_want_them_to_believe_were_serious_about_no_nuclear_weapons.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN commentator Scott Jennings on Monday told the CNN &#8220;NewsNight&#8221; panel that the military believes they will have to attack Iran once again to get them to understand they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
