He did.
Now he's kind of snarky.
Jesus Christ.
What I was very clear about from my very first statement when we sat down was that the Ayatollah was building himself a latent nuclear deterrent.
Putting Iran as what they call a threshold nuclear weapons state, just like Brazil and Germany and Japan.
So everyone knows they have mastered the fuel cycle.
They could enrich uranium up to 90%.
Don't make me do it.
That was his position.
Did you ever hear me say...
Anything about believing the Ayatollah saying he only wanted an electricity program?
This is why enrichment is a red line.
It's because if all the enrichment is done overseas somewhere, then it's not a latent nuclear deterrent at all.
So it's a red line for you as well as for me.
We agree, Scott.
I'm saying it's a red line for the Ayatollah that he's clearly not going to give in on.
And it's a poison pill by the Israelis in the West.
They know he's never going to give up enrichment 100 percent because that's the whole point of it.
So it's just disingenuous to say, oh, let's believe him that he wants an electricity program.
He's not saying that.
