[00:00:00]Well, other countries have come to me and they've said we were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow and I put it off for a little while. Hopefully maybe forever but possibly for a little while.

[00:00:10]Cuz we've had uh very big discussions with Iran.

[00:00:14]And we'll see what they amount to. I was asked by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and some others if we could put it off for two or three days, a short period of time because they think that they are getting very close to making a deal and if we can do that where there's no nuclear weapon going into the hands of Iran, I think and if they're satisfied uh we will be probably satisfied also.

[00:00:39]Uh we've uh informed Israel, we've informed other people in the Middle East that have been involved with us and uh you know, it's a very positive development but we'll see whether or not it amounts to anything. We've had periods of time where we had we thought pretty much getting close to making a deal and uh didn't work out but this is a little bit different. Now, we were ready going tomorrow very big and uh not something I wanted to do but we have no choice because we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
