[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=6) To prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons, which is the stupidest thing in the world because Iran, for 25 years, has said, "We don't want nuclear weapons.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=17) It's against our religious strictures." There was a fatwa given by the very supreme leader that the United States murdered, and we actually had an agreement, of course, in 2015, the JCPOA, by Britain, France, China, Russia, US, and Germany.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=34) And everybody agreed that the International Atomic Energy Agency would rigorously monitor Iran so that there was absolutely no possibility of a breakout to nuclear weapons.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=47) And Iran said, "Okay, we absolutely agree."

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=51) And Iran had opened its facilities, it had opened its books, and the IAEA was saying, "Complete compliance." So why did Netanyahu say, "Rip up the JCPOA"?

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=63) Because a diplomacy with Iran, that runs completely, totally, utterly against the basic idea of Netanyahu because Netanyahu's mentality is Israel is the regional hegemon, it's the nuclear power in the region, and it will overthrow any government that supports the Palestinian cause. So Trump comes in in 2017.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=87) Immediately, Bibi Netanyahu told Trump, "We gotta get this ripped up." And the next year, he rips up the JCPOA.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=94) And then from 2018 onward, he's saying, "I'll never let them have a nuclear weapon."

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=100) And he starts with Israel assassinating Iranian scientists and, of course, using all kinds of economic warfare to crush the Iranian economy and bring people out onto the streets to overthrow the regime.

[1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=113) But Iran, it has withstood all of this attack.

[1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=117) And when Trump kidnapped the president of Venezuela and started getting the oil revenues, uh, he said, "This is cool.

[2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=124) Let's do the same thing with Iran." And then these geniuses in Mossad, they say, "Why don't we kill them all?" Because Mossad had the information that they would be meeting at the residence of the supreme leader to discuss the negotiations with the United States that were ongoing. And the US and Israel just launched,

[2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=144) uh, a war of violence and aggression and assassination, and Trump immediately said, uh, that he'll pick the next leader of Iran the next day.

[2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=153) And now from, uh, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, we're in the eighth month of this disaster.

[2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8EQYBEyW0Ytz/en/netanyahu-trump-and-iran-from-the-jcpoa-to-war?t=161) Tens of billions of dollars already of costs, physical infrastructure destruction, economies are reeling around the world, and oil is a huge part of it. And Trump says, "Well, we'll see whether I annihilate the Iranians after the midterm elections," and this is taken as normal.
