who's hell-bent on getting a nuclear weapon,

and get them to a point where they're at the table,

giving it up, in a way that they should never have it.

So they haven't broken yet.

OK, we haven't gotten there yet.

For all of the legal...

Well, their nuclear facilities have been obliterated.

Underground, they're buried,

and we're watching them 24-7.

So we know where any nuclear material might be.

Reclaiming my time for just a quick second here.

We had to start this war, you just said, 60 days ago,

because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat.

Now you're saying that it was completely obliterated?

They had not given up their nuclear ambitions,

and they had a conventional shield of thousands of missiles.

So Operation Midnight Hammer accomplished nothing of substance.

It left us at exactly the same place we were before.

So much so that we had to start a war.

Their facilities were bombed and obliterated.

Their ambitions continued,

and they're building a conventional shield of missiles.

All right, let me try again.

It's the North Korea strategy.

You know this very well.

The North Korea strategy was to use conventional missiles

to prevent anybody from challenging them

so they could slow walk their way to a weapon.

President Trump saw Iran at its weakest moment,

took an action to ensure,

in a way that only the United States of America

could do with our Israeli partners...

And yet they still haven't given up their nuclear...

...to ensure their conventional shield was brought to a yield.

All right, one other question, if I could get to it.

So on you go.
