The war against Iran is an illegitimate conflict driven by Israel's desire for regional hegemony rather than a genuine threat to the United States.

“My view of this uh current war against Iran is that Iran did not pose a threat to the United States. their ballistic missiles did not have the capability to reach the United States. And the notion that this was all about Iran's weapons was alive from the very beginning.”

The military force should be limited to compelling Iran to return to negotiations to eliminate its nuclear and missile programs, avoiding long-term involvement like an Iraq-style nation-building missi

“At the end of the day, we we we can't get mission creep in this operation. Seen it, been there, done it. We ought to stick to our end state that we're seeking, which is no nukes, no u uh ballistic missile program of any size and no proxies”

The recent military strikes against Iran are a justified and necessary effort to eliminate the Iranian regime's ability to continue state-sponsored terrorism.

“I think uh it has been a promising and encouraging uh first few days. uh but uh the real work uh lies ahead as you suggest and and I I believe in answer to your question that the the uh the real objective here is to confront a war that started 47 years ago.”

The military action is a welcome development that empowers the Iranian people to overthrow their oppressive regime.

“We Iranians were so grateful and uh I can tell you that this has been one of the most amazing weekends, not just for me, but for Iranians in occupied Iran and around the world.”

The military operation is a necessary action to restore regional deterrence and protect Israel from Iranian-backed aggression.

“The Islamic Republic has an outspoken goal, which they have been pursuing for the better part of 30 years, to destroy the state of Israel. They're not just saying it. They are doing it and they have been enacting.”

The military strikes are a justified act of self-defense aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.

“All that we're doing is not letting them achieve that. That's the whole thing. This is a matter of self-defense. If we had not acted now, later on we could not act and by then Iran would have gone nuclear and had thousands of ballistic missiles.”
