I think that's one of the failures Iran's done, that they should have got nuclear weapons, but they've not got it because a fatwa made by Ayatollah Khamenei, who basically said that you're not allowed to have nuclear weapons according to their religious law.
They're Shia, I'm Sunni, so I have different religious belief to them.
That being said, they're quite clearly saying that they don't believe in nuclear proliferation.
In terms of Iran, I do actually think that if Iran didn't have an issue with Israel, because Saudi, Israel, and the United States have always kind of been aligned,
they would have good relations with all those countries.
And you see that by the fact that, for example, Hamas is Sunni, Iran is Shia.
So in reality, these people will get along.
When it comes to bigger geopolitical situations, they will get along.
I believe there's only one impeding issue, and that is Israel.
Israel exists.
Israel wants control of the area.
They want to do expansion within the region.
And they themselves want to make sure that they don't have existential threats.
So they believe that in the future, there could be a scenario where maybe these countries could be a threat.
And so what they want to do is basically weaken all these countries so they're no longer a threat.
It's kind of like psychological damage after what happened for...
according to them for a thousand years up until the Holocaust, where they think you can't trust the whites and you can't trust Muslims.
What do you mean?
Yeah, that was Israel.
That was, again, America lying to... LBJ got on the phone with Nasser.
