In less than 40 days, the United States has utterly and completely destroyed the military and nuclear infrastructure that the Iranian regime spent nearly 50 years building. Every day that passes increases American leverage. Iran is weaker, poorer and more isolated than it's been in decades.

Number two, that they hand over all of their enriched uranium. (00:53–00:59)
