And if they really do insist on these 180 degree drastically different red lines than the Americans, which are increasingly saying no enrichment on your own soil, then they are beginning to understand it. You see it in their commentary. You see it in their reaction to the new sanctions.

They are much more wary right now of those other growing stocks of the administration, the military stock, the economic stock. And they're seeing too that there will be costs to not delivering or to not changing their position. So, that's why they are trying to ring the alarm bell. They're saying if there's a strike, everybody will be impacted by it.

They're saying if there's a strike, monitoring verification will be gone. They're saying that they're basically going to hold America responsible for the things that Israel does. They're trying to increase the sense of panic in the West right now. You see that in their statements very much so.

Well, moderate verification has always been a problem with the Islamic Republic because this regime has been caught red-handed more than 20 some odd years ago, trying to create a nuclear fait accompli. And so, while they have been engaging and opening up significantly compared to where they were in the very early 2000s. The question is, what is it that we don't know?

Could there be a secret facility? And this fear is, in my view, justified because A, the regime has blocked inspections of military sites in the past, and there is a strong connection between the military and the nuclear program, given that this is not some science fair project. And second, that the regime understands that it actually benefits from this double hourglass effect.

By growing the nuclear program and diminishing the monitoring, they can again induce panic. And so long as they retain the ability to do that, They will always be in control of the monitoring and verification process. And this is despite them being signatories of the NPT. This is despite code 3.1. This is despite the comprehensive safeguards agreement. And this is despite the additional protocol.
