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

I think that's best case.

I think worst case is that the Iranians do what they've unfortunately been doing over and over again and rejecting these deals and holding firm that they want to retain this enrichment capability.

Lex Fridman Podcast

And the only reason they want to retain enrichment capability is the option to develop nuclear weapons.

Otherwise, they can have civilian energy.

Tomorrow makes much more commercial sense to do that.

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

And the entire international community would help them and pay for that.

I worry that they're going to just remain intransigent at the negotiating table.

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

And I think if they do that, then what I worry that they're going to do is whatever remaining capabilities they have left, they'll bide their time.

Maybe it's not now.

Maybe it's when Trump's gone.

And they will rebuild this nuclear weapons program.

And they'll be then inviting...

further strikes, further war, and further suffering.

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

And I worry that that is the worst case.

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

And by the way, as part of that worst case in retaining the capabilities,

Lex Fridman Podcast

The extra worst case is they take those capabilities and they go for a nuclear bomb.

Lex Fridman Podcast

Now, if Scott's right and the regime has never had any desire for a nuclear bomb, we don't have to worry about that because, according to Scott, all of this has been fabricated, all of this has been a result of U.S.
