US-Iran Relations and National Security

But the idea that a country like Iran,

which is no threat to the United States, or a country like Venezuela,

which is no Iran is no

threat to the United States should

No, it's not.

Why is it a threat to the United States?

Maybe because the ayatollah has repeatedly threatened the United States

Publicly he can repeatedly he can repeatedly threaten the United States till

he's blue in the face Who cares the

question is does he have the military capability to do harm to us?

Well, he's had the military

But what they have done they funneled a huge amount

of money into propping up terrorist organizations

all around the Middle East All of whom are wedded

to the obliteration of Israel Which is America's main ally in the region

and has a lot of interest mutual interest now You may not like it,

but that's the reality And

so the yes They represent a threat

to one of America's main allies and

to American Americans who live in Israel,

for example To American service people who work with Israelis, of course they do

But you're making the argument that they're not a threat to the United States

They're a threat to Israel and because we're joined at the hip with Israel

Anything that's a threat to Israel is a threat to the United States.

I don't buy that argument I'm an american firster.

I care about the u s National interest and

it is not in our national interest to have

this conflictual relationship with iran And if it weren't for the

fact that the israelis have so much power in

the united states and insist That we keep iran as an adversary

We would otherwise have good relations with the iranians
