But so far, that doesn't seem to be on the table.

Okay.

Yeah.

So if we're talking today, the Iranians do not have a nuclear weapon.

Even if they did, they don't have a missile or a delivery system that could launch it

and strike the United States.

So at the moment, there's not a direct threat to the continental states.

But if Iran were to develop a nuclear weapon with the missile systems that it does have, that would threaten not only Israel, but other countries in the region, perhaps the edges of Europe.

And it would create all sorts of terrible dynamics for the region.

Suddenly, Iran's other big rival in the region, Saudi Arabia, would probably want a nuclear weapon.

Turkey, which borders Iran, it's a member of NATO, but it might want nuclear weapons.

You could easily see a nuclear arms race in the Middle East if Iran were to get a weapon like that.

And Iran has been involved in so many of the other conflicts in the regions through its proxies.

So it's just seen as something that would greatly escalate.

So there is the question of, is it a direct threat to the U.S.?

But also, how much would it destabilize a region where the U.S.

has been fighting wars for the last 30 plus years?

priorities in this in this area.

And beyond the domestic front, there's the international front.

President Trump hasn't gone to the United Nations to make the case there, to seek some sort of UN approval.
