Houthis launched a ballistic missile at Riyadh, prompting the U.S. to issue urgent travel warnings across the Middle East and Trump to cut short his Camp David weekend. In response, Trump told Fox News he was weighing when to "blow the entire nation up" regarding Iran. Iran has since set seven conditions for negotiations, signaling it's willing to talk but on its own terms.
This is the gap between bluster and actual policy narrowing in real time. Trump's comment about "blowing up" Iran is rhetoric that gets attention, but Iran's counter-move—setting negotiation conditions—treats it as just talk. The immediate risk is that one side misreads the other's intentions and escalates. The longer-term issue is that Trump's unpredictability makes it harder for adversaries to distinguish between posturing and actual intent to use force.
