They still have uranium.

It's unclear what's buried under tons of rubble in the sites that the U.S.

hit really hard previously in 2025.

I think this is one of those things.

I mean, understanding the Iranian nuclear problem.

capacity and ambitions is a challenge that has faced Democratic administrations and Republican administrations.

And then there's people in the intelligence community who have different opinions, and there's politicians in the U.S.

who have different vantage points.

There's still uranium existing.

Now, it might be buried under tons of rubble.

I have to imagine it's hard to get, but we don't have all the information.

And this is the most classified of classified kind of things.

So in the months leading up to this whole thing, remember there was these protests in Iran that made it look like the regime could be in trouble.

And so we go through this, you know, past five or six weeks, Iran's almost brought to its knees, but they find out if they choke off the Strait of Hormuz, they can still kind of hold off and arrest the whole global economy.

They've showed that they still have some power, even with kind of a busted up military and a broken regime.

And so for them, they can show that they are still internationally relevant and that they still have this new way to control global trade.

They're able, with gas prices soaring, they're able to find ways to make more revenue.

So they're still there.

There's a version of their regime that exists.

I mean, it's the Middle East, so most ceasefires do fall apart.
