If they broke out toward a nuclear weapon, America would do whatever it took to prevent that from happening.

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

So strike their nuclear facilities.

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

That was always the case there.

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

But please clarify just to be accurate.

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

That's really not true.

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

I mean, Barack Obama changed America's nuclear posture to say because it used to say we reserve the right to use a nuclear first strike against any country.

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

And he changed that to say, no, we promise not to use a nuclear first strike against any non-nuclear weapon state except maybe Iran.

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

OK, that's true.

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

All right.

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

And I got more here, OK?

Netanyahu also did an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg back when Ehud Barak was his defense minister in, I think this is also 2012, it might have been 2014, where the two of them explained that they agreed with what he said, too, that the threat is not of a nuclear first strike.

unlike every AM radio audience, has been led to believe that the Ayatollah, as soon as he gets an atom bomb, he will nuke Tel Aviv, and he doesn't care if all of Persia is nuked by Israel's 200 nukes in response.

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

He's trying to cause the end of the world by causing a nuclear war and all these things.

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

Well, Netanyahu himself admitted that that's not true.

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

Yeah, I think it's really important.
