00:00So my understanding is that the U.S. wants to remove the Iranian nuclear program and their ability to have
00:06one.
00:07And I think that's a goal that we share. It's actually, supposedly, a goal that the U.K. government shares,
00:13but obviously a bit all over the place at the moment.
00:15But we think that is absolutely critical because, first of all,
00:19when a regime is willing to kill thousands of its own people to murder them in the streets,
00:23you wouldn't want them to have a nuclear weapon,
00:24and especially when they are willing to throw these weapons around the whole region in such wanton abandon
00:30and putting so many other countries at risk.
00:33Well, from our point of view, we've been very clear about the nuclear threat.
00:36It's totally unacceptable. So that's why we supported the action.
00:39We regard it ultimately as self-defense because, clearly,
00:42if Iran isn't going to cooperate with these negotiations, which it would look like it didn't,
00:45then it is threatening us if it is going to develop nuclear capability.
00:49That is the top priority.
