So that sounded really ominous, Leader Thune. And folks are wondering after this briefing, are we going to war? I don't know the answer to that, Ayesha. I think that The President is preparing us to defend America's vital national security interests, both in that region and here at home. I mean, we cannot abide, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran. He made that clear in his speech last night. I think that's something, I hope at least that a big majority of Americans agree with. (00:59–01:08)
