Do we just wait? Well, actually, yes, we do on one side, we're waiting on the diplomatic side. We'd like to have this problem said solved diplomatically. Clearly, that was not able. Iran was unwilling to [solve the problem diplomatically]. do that. Now maybe they'll come to the table and help with a transition of their government. Israel should continue, in my opinion, to degrade Iran's ability to attack them and their neighbors, and we should facilitate that. (06:54–06:56)
