And then he offers the Iranians, as he's been offering all the way through, you have an option.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

You can go back to Oman.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

I told you Oman, and you decided to force me to go to Fordow.

But now we can go back for negotiations.

And that's where we are today.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

That's where, as you say, a tentative ceasefire that just came into effect.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

And we'll see now if the Iranians decide to take President Trump on his repeated offers, join him in Oman for another round of negotiations.

#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

Scott, is there some stuff you want to add to that?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

Yeah, so there was a lot to unpack there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

So let's sort of just back up a little bit and talk about, first of all, the regime itself.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

Islamic Republic of Iran came into power in 1979.

Lex Fridman Podcast

It has been declared a leading state sponsor of terrorism by multiple administrations, dating back to the Clinton administration.

Lex Fridman Podcast

By Obama, by Biden, by Trump.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

And it is a regime that has killed and maimed thousands of Americans, not to mention, obviously, hundreds of thousands of Middle Easterners.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

It is a regime that has lied about its nuclear program and never actually disclosed its nuclear sites.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

All these sites were discovered.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

by Iranian opposition groups, by Western intelligence agencies.

#473 โ€“ Iran War Debate: Nuclear Weapons, Trump, Peace, Power & the Middle East

And the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the UN agency responsible for preventing proliferation, has come out again and again over many, many years in reports, very detailed reports, describing Iran's nuclear weapons program.
