00:00If Israel's goal was to neutralise Iran as a long-term nuclear threat,

00:07that has not been achieved. Isn't that right?

00:11No, I think that's wrong. I think it has been achieved in the long term.

00:13I mean, nothing can ever be permanent, I suppose,

00:16if the geopolitical situation were such to allow Iran to grow back.

00:21But look, the nuclear programme has been set back by many, many years.

00:24They have no centrifuges. They have no means.

00:26Even if there is those kilograms of enriched uranium, even if they do exist,

00:31it would be impossible for them to enrich it.

00:33It's been set back by many, many years.

00:35Iran has been deprived of all the top talent in terms of its nuclear science knowledge,

00:41as well as its military structure and its missiles and its armaments and so on and so forth.

00:45And I think the beauty of it is that if Iran were to begin to build back its nuclear programme,

00:50Israel could go in, because they haven't got any air defences,

00:52could go in and take it out again, ensuring that it doesn't grow back to the threat that it was before.

00:59But, you know, the Iranians, the problem with the Iranian regime

01:01is that they're run by a genocidal, apocalyptic death cult,

01:07which believes in starting a war with Israel and the rest of the world

01:11to bring back a figure called the Mahdi out of invisibility,

01:14who's a kind of messianic figure, who will then lead the believers,

01:18313 lieutenants, to victory around the world

01:22and global dominance for Shia Islam that's going to be broken up

01:24between 313 regions between each of them and so on and so forth.

01:28It's a crazy, theocratic, fanatical, religious ideology.

01:33It's a crazy, the American regime.
