What Now? with Trevor Noah · Eddie Fishman: Understanding Iran · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah.

I mean, I think the honest truth is semantic and it doesn't really matter.

I mean, the president is the commander in chief.

He or she can decide when to use military force.

And there's really not much of a check on that, unfortunately.

I mean, to your point,

question though.

I mean, Donald Trump has tried to portray the strike on Iran as preemptive, right?

That they were about to get a nuclear weapon.

And what I would say is, I mean, unless there is some classified intelligence that has not been either leaked or declassified, which I consider...

Pretty unlikely, because you would think that if there was a smoking gun, there would be a significant incentive for the White House to say, hey, we'll look at this.

I do not believe that there was a preemptive reason to strike Iran.

You could say that they already did have 10 bombs worth of nuclear material.

So uranium enriched to a point where you could turn it into a bomb within a week or so.

But I would say those even now, despite this giant attack by the United States and Israel in June of 2025, Operation Midnight Hammer that took out a lot of their nuclear facilities, plus the war that has happened in February, March, April, May of this year,

They still have.

Iran still has that, you know, 1,000 pounds of high and rich uranium.

Even after the bunker busters and all the jazz?

They still got it.

It's what I think Trump calls a nuclear dust.
