And in the case of many of the Arab nations, the wealthiest nations in the world, if you look, although with what we've done in the United States, I think we top everybody.

Well, Iran was about one month, maybe two months away from having a nuclear weapon.

And if...

I allowed that to happen.

This deal would not have been possible.

Or if it was, it would have a tremendous cloud over it because you'd have a country with a nuclear weapon that was not obviously very friendly.

And the power of nuclear weapons is something that we shouldn't even be talking about.

It's so massive.

And so by doing that, we now have something where actually Iran and I and Iran and a number of people have been talking about

But it's a very much different Iran.

And frankly, we've had some very good conversations.

And as you saw, they blessed the deal.

They put out a few hours ago a statement that they agree with the deal and they blessed the deal.

That's a tremendous thing.

I believe if they had a nuclear weapon, there would be a whole different situation.

Even if we made the deal, it would have literally a very dark cloud over it because of what could potentially happen.

So now there are no dark clouds.

We're going to have peace.

And by the way, I believe Iran is going to be actually a part of the whole peace situation.

But countries that frankly didn't get along, they're all involved.
