But it says 60% enrichment of uranium, it's the next stage that somebody who wants to create a nuclear bomb... Right? So, look, what do I mean by imminent? As I said in the panel, it could be weeks, months, a year, whatever, but they've reached

a stage of enrichment... No, it can't, Piers. But they have the capability to take it to another stage and create a bomb. Yes. So, let's find more agreement between us.

I agree. That is capability, right? They have enough highly enriched uranium to build up to nine bombs, I believe. So, that is an imminent threat if it's in the wrong hands, right? We can agree on that.

No, it's not. No, it's not. But why not? No, because, unfortunately, having a civil nuclear program is totally fine. Having enriched uranium is fine.

The issue is if you weaponize it and have a weapons program. And Tulsi Gabbard, no friend of radical Islam, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence said in March that the U.S. intelligence community's consensus view is that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, does not have a nuclear weapon, has not authorized a nuclear weapons program.

The IAEA, Piers, in that report, you must have seen the line in their summary, said there are no credible indications of an ongoing, undeclared, structured nuclear program. Even the IAEA says there's no nuclear weapons program. Their boss, the IAEA chief, Piers, said last week, you cannot attack nuclear facilities in Iran.

So, no, it's not an imminent threat. And under international law, Piers, this is the key point, if a weapon is a year away, you cannot say we're under imminent threat. That does not give you a right to self-defense. Otherwise, everyone in the world would go around just bombing people.

You and I oppose Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We agree on that, right? Putin claimed that Ukraine would one day attack Russia with NATO support. That's why I'm doing it. That was a bullshit argument.

You and I rejected Putin's bullshit argument in Ukraine. You and I have rejected the Israeli bullshit argument now in Gaza. You don't believe what they're saying about Gaza. I don't know why you're believing them on this, when you were rightly calling out the bullshit from the U.K. and the U.S. in 2003 over Iraq.

Saddam Hussein was not an imminent threat. And Iran was not an imminent threat. And Israel attacked them illegally last week, while there were nuclear negotiations going on, Piers. One last point.

If Israel cared about stopping a nuclear weapon, you would go back into a nuclear deal that prevents Iran from
