And to my knowledge, and people can fact check me on this,
To my knowledge, you know, the first Trump official who said, you know, no enrichment for Iran, it was Mike Pompeo in the first Trump administration.
And I haven't seen anyone else come in and say, like, this is the U.S.
policy.
However, it was repeated enough in official channels that they can't have enrichment.
Enrichment equals, like Lindsey Graham would say, 10 nuclear bombs in 10 days or something just absolutely absurd.
If you got a nuclear expert in the room, they would say, no, that's not how any of this works at all.
Plus the Ayatollah and his government had enforced their no nuclear weapons stance since 2004.
And so we had no intelligence that reflected that enrichment equaled a nuclear bomb.
It was pretty clear what their strategy was.
So they came in with their officials and they would say like no enrichment because enrichment equals a bomb.
They would kind of just repeat it, but then they would do a good job of coordinating that with their surrogates.
In the pro-Israeli media here in the U.S., Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, they'd have it on Fox News, they'd have it in the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, et cetera.

And then we're having a debate over no enrichment, and we basically reach an impasse.
I think prior to the 12-day war, again, this is just –
This is just my opinion.
I believe that Steve Witkoff was on the cusp of getting a deal.
Now, it wouldn't have been the Iranians just giving up everything in terms of enrichment, but they were talking about enrichment and what levels and how would it be monitored.
And we're making a lot of progress.
