Senator, do you have any concerns about this Iran operation, any at all? No, no. Listen, what my concern is is that We have lost thousands of individuals over 47 years and we haven't done anything about it. This threat was not going away. I don't think anybody can argue that this regime needed to be removed. And what we have done now for the Iranian people, give them a choice. (03:19–03:26)
