The Tucker Carlson Show · BREAKING: U.S. Resumes Strikes on Iran. A Clean Exit Is Unlikely. Tucker and John Mearsheimer React. · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

They were so much better off with the deal that they would have gotten on February 27th.

Now they're in a situation where...

I don't think they're going to get a nuclear deal.

I may be wrong.

I don't think they're going to get a nuclear deal.

And the Iranians, as we both know, have a lot of highly enriched uranium, up to 60%.

They can easily turn into weapons-grade material and build a bomb.

And the Israelis have just demonstrated that they don't have the capability, and we have just demonstrated that we don't have the capability to go in there and get that weapons-grade material and shut down their nuclear enrichment capability forever.

So it is possible that the Iranians may get a bomb.

Actually act as a magnet for Iranian attacks.

Yeah.

Well, as you know, we like to portray other countries as irrational and crazy.

Second coming of Adolf Hitler.

But the truth is, if you look at Iran today...

and you look at the United States and Israel today, which of those three countries looks like the responsible stakeholder in the international system?

But there's much truth in that.

But the point is, if you're another country on the planet and you're looking at those three countries, Israel, the most hated country in the world, by the way, according to recent polls, and the United States, which is not far from the bottom.

And Iran, which country, right, looks like it is the most responsible in terms of its foreign policy, right?

And it's the Iranians, right?

And it's the Americans and the Israelis who both basically look like they're rogue states just running around the world, you know, invading countries, right?
