And it failed.
By the time he came back in his second term, so last year, Iran had enough nuclear material to build 10 bombs, which is way more than they ever had before we actually had that deal in 2015.
And so I think Trump,
was sort of confronting this massive failure, which was he had tried maximum pressure to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
It hadn't worked.
And so he could have theoretically tried a different approach, maybe pivoted to something more like what Obama did with diplomacy.
But instead of changing his goals,
he changed his means.
He escalated from the use of economic warfare through sanctions and economic pressure to the use of military force.
And I think we're now seeing why every president before him had been hesitant to attack Iran.
Sure.
So look, there is this thing called the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
I think it was first agreed to in the 1960s.
And basically, it regulates which countries can and can't have certain nuclear material.
Okay.
And basically, the bargain is there are a few countries that legally can have nuclear weapons, right?
The United States, China, Russia, the UK, and France.
