Be careful what I said.
Well, no enrichment capability.
Yeah.
So let me just step back from this because we agree on some and we disagree on a major issue.
And then if we both agree, Iran deserves a civilian nuclear program.
I'm not sure I said that.
Scott, I think it's, again, important, the distinction here.
We both agree that Iran deserves a civilian nuclear program.
23 countries have civilian nuclear programs and they don't have enrichment and they don't have reprocessing.
Where we differ is I don't think Iran should have the Iran standard.
I think that Iran should agree to the gold standard that 23 U.S.
allies have agreed to.
So have civilian nuclear program, but you don't get to keep the key enrichment and reprocessing capabilities that you need to develop nuclear weapons.
Yeah.
And America, of course, allowed Russia to sell them a heavy water reactor for the same purpose.
But I agree with Scott that I think one of the ways out of this is, yes, whether it's the Chinese or preferably as an American, I prefer the Americans actually sell reactors to the Iranians is great.
nuclear industry in this country.
Let's do that.
But if they can't, the South Koreans can, the Russians can, the Chinese can.
