CNN Inside Politics: An Oval Office Reckoning
CNN Politics
Jun 17, 2025

First: President Trump is on the cusp of the most important decision he's made to date as Commander in Chief. Will the US join Israel in seeking to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities? The vice president just issued a remarkable new statement clearly aimed at MAGA opponents to American assistance in Iran. 

Plus: CNN has new reporting on what the US intelligence community is saying about Israel's justification for striking Iran in the first place. Dana discusses that with the Israeli ambassador to the US. 

And: Democrats in Minnesota say Republican Senator Mike Lee has made a horrific situation even worse with his social media posts about the state lawmakers gunned down in their homes.
