I agree.
Look, I agree.
You know, who are the people that are most concerned about Iran eventually getting a nuclear weapon, right?
Because it is conceivable that if they continue to enrich and they could access the uranium...
That they could.
They're very, very accomplished scientists inside and around.
It's a very, very sophisticated scientific.
It's a very educated population, you know, with a great tradition, great culture and a really great scientist community.
It's conceivable they could do it in a year, Peter.
I mean, it's not that's a short time, but it's not two weeks.
So who's most worried about that?
The Israelis, obviously, for sure, who have nuclear weapons, let's just add.
And the Saudis.
Because the Saudis have said openly, if were the Iranians ever to get a nuclear weapon, we'd be next in line.
And that's partly, so fill in the picture here, that's partly why the Saudis signed
a defense treaty with the Pakistanis who have nuclear weapons and who are known
to be least concerned, let me put it that way, least concerned about sharing that technology with their friends.
Okay, we're going to move.
So that's the whole nuclear debate right now that is roiling everybody because that would functionally mean that we would have nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.
That's really the stakes here.
