It's President Pozeshkin.
So I don't really know what's going on there.
He's just trying to make it seem like โ and they asked him at the press conference as well, does the new Ayatollah have a target on his back?
And Trump was very like, well, that would be inappropriate for me to say that, which makes me think that something's probably in the works already.
Yeah, the Wall Street Journal said he's okay with killing the new Supreme Leader, so โ
So there's that.
And then you mentioned the enriched uranium.
To the extent that Trump has โ there's been discussion about sending in ground troops.
It seems like Trump has not envisioned a full-scale invasion, but it seems like he may want to โ or he's contemplating sending in special forces to get the uranium.
Is that โ
Yeah, but again, I talked to Pat Ryan about this.
We're talking about 900 pounds of nuclear material that's buried under a mountain that we bombed that you'd have to get out of the country hundreds of miles.
So you're putting this in your pockets and just running away.
No, and you have to put them in special containers so you don't die.
And so this is a serious operation.
You probably have to send in the 82nd Airborne to secure airfields and things to be able to facilitate this kind of transfer.
So it is an invasion.
It is boots on the ground.
I don't understand why the media kind of like takes at face value these claims.
Like, oh, it's not boots on the ground.
