And so they were still, even though they were enriching up to 60%, which they were allowed to do once America pulled out under the deal, they were still having inspections.

That's why, if you remember back at the 12-day war, we were all pointing to the IAEA

Report from just a month earlier where they had just come in and inspected the whole place and they concluded that they weren't developing nuclear weapons.

And so but to be clear, those inspectors are gone now.

That deal is over now.

And so Iran doesn't have an inspections regime in there.

And so if we were to end this war now, let's say all the pieces that have to come together to the puzzle to end the thing right now.

I mean, they're just so incentivized to race to a nuclear weapon.

That almost would have to be.

And again, this is just being a realist about this and understanding incentives and strategy and what's in whose interest.

You would think that would almost have to be the number one priority of the regime.

Well, like we have to race to a nuclear weapon now.

And maybe they can do that in secrecy because there isn't an inspections regime in there anymore.

And then like that would be the best case scenario for them to just be able to come out in a few months and go, hey, look.

We did it.

We did it because you pushed our hands.

But we're doing a demonstration demonstrating we have nuclear weapons.

We will not use them unless we're attacked again.

But if we're attacked again, we're using them.

And that would probably be enough to get everyone to not fuck with them.
