00:00You had a ZECOM commander come in here yesterday.
00:03Was he briefing you on a different approach, options?
00:07What kind of options?
00:08How would it look different?
00:10I mean, do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever?
00:14Or do we want to try and make a deal?
00:16I mean, those are the options.
00:17Do you want to go blast the hell out of them and finish them forever?
00:21On a human basis, I prefer not.
00:23But that's the option.
00:24Do we want to go in there heavy and just blast them away?
00:28Or do we want to do something?
00:31They're a very disjointed unership, as you can understand, Peter.
00:34Very disjointed.
00:35I mean, they're not getting along with each other.
00:40And it puts us in a bad position.
00:42One group wants to make a certain deal.
00:45The other group wants to make a certain deal.
00:47Including the hardliners.
00:49The hardliners want to make a deal, too.
00:50Why wouldn't they?
00:52They have no Navy.
00:53They have no Air Force.
00:54They have no anti-aircraft.
00:56They have no nothing.
00:58You know, it's a very disjointed, unfriendly leadership, unfriendly to each other.
01:03They're not getting along.
01:05They're very, very confused by what's happened.
01:07Because essentially, most of their military has been wiped out.
01:11But we just had a conversation with Iran.
01:14Let's see what happens.
01:15But I would say that I am not happy.
01:19Their leadership is very disjointed, very argumentative with each other.
01:25They come back.
01:26One says one thing.
01:28One says another.
01:29They're very confused.
01:31Obviously, their country has been, frankly, decimated.
01:35Their Navy is gone.
01:36Their Air Force is gone.
01:38Many of their soldiers, unfortunately, are gone.
01:43They've got to come up with the right deal.
01:45At this moment, I'm not satisfied with what they're going to do.
01:47We have great respect for Pakistan and Islamabad, and tremendous respect for the prime minister
01:55and the field marshal.
01:56And they're working with us.
01:58They continue to work with us.
01:59But the trip is a very long one.
02:01And we're doing everything in terms of negotiating right now, in terms of the negotiation telephonically.
02:11They've made strides, but I'm not sure if they ever get there.
02:17There's tremendous discord.
02:20There's tremendous — they're having a tremendous problem getting along with each other in Iran.
02:25The leadership is very disjointed.
02:28It's got two to three groups, maybe four.
02:31And it's a very disjointed leadership.
02:34And with that being said, they all want to make a deal, but they're all messed up.
