Yesterday he said it would only be fair if they had some, if the countries around Iran also had some. So when and why did that change and will the final agreement have any restrictions on these missiles? So We destroyed a substantial number of their ballistic missiles and their, excuse me, ballistic missile launchers themselves. It's not just the bullets, but it's the actual gun. And that's what we were extremely effective at in destroying during the last three months of the campaign. (06:32–06:39)
