Then fast forward to 1979 when, you know, the Islamist radicals took over. I've been dealing with this now for well over 60 years. From a personal perspective, Iran, unlike any other nuclear or potential nuclear power, has shown that it cannot restrain itself from using a nuclear capability in an offensive manner. It is shown, unlike North Korea or China or India or Pakistan or some others who have nuclear capability but have chosen not to use it, Iran under its current leadership does not have that capability. (17:37–17:57)
