So from an Israeli point of view, that war doesn't end until you've gone to Berlin, in a way, and turned off the source of the existential threat.

And Israel is in a much safer place.

Israel has a much narrower margin of security than the United States does.

But there was no imminent threat.

I don't think Kamala Harris would have done this.

But if a younger and healthier Joe Biden were president in 2026, would he have thought very, very hard about striking Iran then?

I believe he would have.

And I think even President Obama might have thought very, very hard.

This is the moment.
