00:00How long do you think that the Iranian nuclear program has been put back by these strikes?

00:06Years or totally a bit of a while?

00:08I think basically decades, because I don't think they'll ever do it again.

00:12I just don't think they're going to do it.

00:13I think they're going to take their oil, they're going to have some missiles, and they'll have some defense.

00:19I think they've had it.

00:21I mean, they just went through hell.

00:23I think they've had it.

00:24The last thing they want to do is enrich.

00:27They've been trying to do it.

00:28By the way, it's hard to enrich.

00:30And, you know, when you look at a site like that, very, very hard to build.

00:34Very, very hard.

00:35Very expensive.

00:35They spent trillions of dollars trying to do this thing, and they didn't come up with it.

00:41And we're actually getting along with them very well right now.

00:44But had we not succeeded with that hit, that hit ended the war.

00:48That hit ended the war.

00:51I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima.

00:54I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki.

00:56But that was essentially the same thing.

00:59That ended that war.

01:00This ended that with a war.

01:02If we didn't take that out, they would have been, they'd be fighting right now.
