Will Iran publicly deny that it was involved in the planning of October 7th?

No.

In fact, the mullahs take credit for it.

They're very proud of it.

They see it as part of the global Islamic jihad that they're part of.

I would argue that Israel has every right to respond in the way that it did.

And a kind of Myron headcount of what Hamas did doesn't impose limitations on what Israel can do to immobilize the future threat posed by Hamas.

When Myron first brought up this issue of Iran's moral restraint, I thought he was using it just as a kind of throwaway line, but he's dug in on it so much that I think it deserves to be scrutinized and perhaps even mocked a little bit.

Because, look, Iran, I admit...

has built up a tremendous force, not just in Iran, but not just in the region of the Middle East with surrogates like Hezbollah, but also projected its power beyond the Middle East.

Iran has had a very powerful presence.

My wife is Venezuelan.

Powerful presence in Venezuela.

Iranians in the Venezuelan parliament.

military material coming into the Venezuelan airports from Iran on a daily basis on a private terminal.

All of this has been going on now for years.

So Iran was trying to create a beachhead on the Americas where it could project its power, not just in South America, but of course, you're now a couple of thousand miles from Miami.

So this is a very aggressive, powerful society with 90 million people, as I mentioned earlier.

Second,

Iran has shown the ability to have unbelievably bloodthirsty wars that impose hundreds of thousands of casualties.
