It can be destroyed in the country.

What this is for people that actually have been following this closely is Trump is coming around to the position that the Iranians told them was their red line, which is Iran said we are not going to remove Iran.

are highly enriched uranium.

We are willing to discuss a dilution of it.

The Iranians also told me they were willing to put on the table a 10-year moratorium on enriching above 3.6%, that they were willing to dilute any of their enriched uranium that's above 20% back down to civilian levels.

They said that they were coming in with a flexibility.

It was Trump that laid out all of these things.

The regime is going to be overthrown.

The people are going to rise up.

We're going to get rid of all their ballistic missiles.

They're not going to have a drone program anymore.

We're going to come in and U.S.

soldiers are going to retrieve the nuclear dust.

Now what we're talking about is going back to sort of the discussions that were existing as of February 27th, the day before Trump and Netanyahu launched this war.

The big scandal here in perpetuity should remain that Donald Trump

chose this war, that he did so not only at great economic cost to the world, not only because it humiliated the United States, but also because the deal that he's going to get in the end potentially is going to be worse than the terms the Iranians were putting on the table

for the year basically leading up to this war.

And really, if we had an actual aggressive Congress where you actually had Republicans willing to take on the president, this is an epic scandal what has happened because what we've seen over the past hundred days is a complete and total unnecessary war that was counterproductive that in the end makes Americans less safe also because it shows the world that there's this gratuitous violence that the US will just unleash

That Israel seems to be in control of a large portion of our decision making and that the president of the United States humiliated the highest office in the land and wasn't even able to get a deal that was better than the terms that the other side was putting on the table before you went and launched a hundred day military, economic and diplomatic war.

It's scandalous.
