That they would strike Iran's nuclear facility.
If they broke out toward a nuclear weapon, America would do whatever it took to prevent that from happening.
So strike their nuclear facilities.
That was always the case there.
But please clarify just to be accurate.
That's really not true.
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.
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.
OK, that's true.
All right.
And so, in fact, that was the threat.
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.
He's trying to cause the end of the world by causing a nuclear war and all these things.
Well, Netanyahu himself admitted that that's not true.
Yeah, I think it's really important.
Look, I'm just agreeing with you, so you don't have to stop me.
But I'm agreeing with you.
I know, but I'm agreeing with you, so it's all right.
