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

What was his goal here?

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

And then we can talk about, was this the right operation in order for the United States to

order the B-2 bombers to strike these facilities in what, again, was a limited operation, as President Trump has said, and in order to drive the Iranians back to the negotiating table and finally do the deal that President Trump has asked them to do since he came into office in January.

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

I mean, really, everything?

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

There was not one thing I said that was true?

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

Just one thing.

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

All right.

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

22 years of working on Iran, and I got that right.

They have no plutonium route to the bomb under the JCPOA.

Iraq is where they pour concrete into the reactor and shut it down.

And the reason they pour concrete... Under the JCPOA.

Under the JCPOA, poured concrete into the calendria in order to prevent them from using that reactor to reprocess plutonium.

So there's a distinction between Iraq and Boucher.

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

Scott's exactly right.

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

Boucher is a reactor, a heavy water reactor provided by the Russians, as I described, for the generation of...
