And so we're going to do what's in our power vis-a-vis Iran to protect the United States first and foremost, but in a secondary way, Israel.

And again, it wasn't out of any kind of friendship.

This is 2020.

So he rejects this notion that a pack had any influence on him back in 2020.

Right?

He wasn't even he was considering political office in 2020, but he wasn't an active candidate.

He thought strategically, and again, we can disagree about these views, but this is what President Trump thought.

And his actions today are in pursuit of what he understands as a strategic imperative for the United States, which is to defend our interests in the Middle East and to defend, first and foremost, the American homeland.

So I think this whole calculus has to be about what does President Trump believe about this?

What has he said about this?

What does he run for office on?

2015, before he ran for president, he articulated the exact same view.

And in 2024, he said again,

they could not have nuclear weapons.

And so for all the Tucker Carlson's and Alex Jones who say they've been betrayed by President Trump, they weren't listening to what he was saying.

He said even in 2024,

They couldn't have nuclear weapons.

In the same paragraphs where he was describing no new wars, he was also saying they couldn't have nuclear weapons.

And so I think we should all take that in mind, that there is something important going on here in what we've done.

The president gets nothing out of going after Iran politically.
