In the leaked conversation, cabinet members express differing views on handling the escalating situation with Iran, with some advocating for a diplomatic approach and others hinting at a more aggressive stance. The members also emphasize the gravity of the situation and the need for a serious and focused discussion.
Vance (08:00 am ET): Morning, everyone. Quite a headline we’ve got for ourselves today.
Gabbard (08:15 am ET): Couldn’t agree more. Can’t we just stick to POTUS’s golf game and leave the tough talk for the playground?
Hegseth (08:17 am ET): This is not a playground, Tulsi. It’s real world, with real consequences. 💪🔥
Vance (08:18 am ET): Relax, Pete. We all know how tough you are.
Miller (08:19 am ET): Enough. Let’s stay focused on the situation at hand. Iran isn’t a joke.
Rubio (08:21 am ET): Stephen’s right. This isn’t a time for locker-room talk. We need to take this seriously.
Waltz (08:22 am ET): Gentlemen, as per military protocol, our strategies are being revised to tackle the Iran situation effectively.
Vance (08:23 am ET): I’ve pushed for a diplomatic approach before, and I’ll do it again. Iran isn’t Syria or Libya. We need to tread carefully.
Hegseth (08:25 am ET): Not sure I agree, JD. They’ve been asking for this, and maybe it’s time we give it to them.
Gabbard (08:27 am ET): Whatever we do, we need to consider the European angle. We can’t afford to step on any more toes.
Rubio (08:28 am ET): You’re right, Tulsi. We need to be tactful with our allies.
Ratcliffe (08:30 am ET): While we debate this, there’s a rise in street drug deaths that needs our attention too.
Miller (08:32 am ET): Right, John. We have domestic issues that need our attention.
Kent (08:34 am ET): Let’s focus, people. Iran and street drug deaths. That’s where our focus needs to be.
Wiles (08:35 am ET): Agreed, Joe. We need to formulate a well-rounded strategy.
Witkoff (08:36 am ET): It’s going to be a long day. Anyone up for a little Italian for lunch? I know this great place that makes amazing meatballs.
Bessent (08:38 am ET): Steve, this is not the time. We need to focus.
Gabbard (08:40 am ET): Sure, Steve. Sounds good.
Rubio (08:42 am ET): Tulsi, we’re in the middle of something.
Hegseth (08:43 am ET): Let’s wrap this up, team. We’ve got a tough day ahead. 🇺🇸🙏
Gabbard (08:45 am ET): Right. Sorry, Marco. Back to work.
Vance (08:47 am ET): So, are we agreed? Diplomacy first, force if necessary?
Miller (08:49 am ET): It seems so. We’ll run it by POTUS.
