Or have they set back the program so significantly that Khamenei then has to decide, will I be inviting another Israeli and or U.S.
attack if I try to break out?
And if I do, do I risk my regime?
Yeah, but you said that the Ayatollah doesn't want a nuclear weapons program, Scott.
You were very clear about that.
What I said, what I was very clear about.
The Ayatollah never wanted a nuclear weapons program.
Are you going back on that now?
None of those countries have a nuclear weapons program.
Can I just say technically, just, I think again, important for your listeners to understand under the JCPOA, uh,
Iran is allowed to keep a stockpile of a maximum of 300 kilograms, as I remember, of 3.67% enriched material.
They're allowed to continue to enrich as long as if they go over that 300 kilogram, they have to continue to send that out to Russia.
to Russia to blend down.
And so they kept the enrichment capability, the ability to enrich.
They did keep a stockpile.
Scott's right.
They're not allowed in those early years to go under 3.67%.
They would be allowed to go to 20% and 60% and 90% as the restrictions sunsetted, but they were able to keep all of those key capabilities.
So I just want to clarify just technically what the JCPOA actually said and what it didn't say.
No, but Scott, you're mischaracterizing what I'm saying.
