[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=3) What prevents war is Iran's strength. Iraq had no nuclear program, yet it was attacked.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=10) If Iran gave up its nuclear program, the regime would lose its legitimacy at home.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=15) But if it gives it up and agrees, who can guarantee it won't be attacked?

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=19) The issue is neither nuclear weapons, nor Hormuz, nor anything else.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=27) Does Cuba, for instance, have a nuclear program?

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=29) Independent countries are the problem for the United States and what it calls its global leadership.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=35) And that's because Iran is independent and a strong country and it stands up to the United States and supports its allies against the United States' ally, and it has a nuclear issue and a problem with its strength.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=46) It has a missile program, a drone program, an arms program, and a nuclear program.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=51) What prevents war is not the nuclear program.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N2swYesm3jib/en/does-iran-s-power-deter-war-more-than-its-nuclear-program?t=54) What prevents war is Iran's strength. Trump's hesitation so far is a result of Iran's strength.
