Published | Video Starts at 18:01

And what happened in the 12 day war is number one, number Iran completely and totally lost [the 12 Day War]. There was no ambiguity. They were just defeated. They fought a war, they lost a war. Now, even worse, if you're an Islamist dictator, if there's anything on earth worse than losing a war, it is losing a war to Israel. (18:01–18:07)
