And, you know...

In my view, they're just indiscriminately firing abroad, and I think their reasoning was that if the United States and or Israel hit them, that they wanted to make it as painful as possible for the entirety of the region, right?

What they have ensured is that there's basically nobody standing up and siding with the Iranians.

They're demonstrating essentially they're willing to kill anybody and everybody.

I got to say, that's also a really powerful illustration.

If that's what they do now...

Yeah.

Yeah.

Can you imagine how much worse if they had a nuclear weapon?

And during the whole, go back to Obama and the debates on Obama's terrible Iran nuclear deal, I always said most of the debate rotated around, well, if they had a nuclear weapon, it would change the balance of power.

It would make them more aggressive.

They would fund more terrorism.

And I always said, look, that's the best case scenario.

The best case scenario is a horrible situation.

The worst case is that they would actually use the nuclear weapon, and everyone operates under an assumption, well, having a nuclear weapon doesn't mean you use it.

Listen, when the Ayatollah chants, death to Israel and death to America, I believe him.

When he calls Israel the little Satan and America the great Satan...

I believe him, and I think the odds are unacceptably high.

I don't know what they were, but they were unacceptably high that the Ayatollah, if he had a nuclear weapon, would detonate it, maybe in Tel Aviv or maybe in New York or Los Angeles.

And I don't want to wake up and discover, oh, the predictions were wrong because we have a mushroom cloud and hundreds of thousands or even millions of Americans being killed.
