[00:00:00]We were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow and I've put it off for a little while. Hopefully, maybe forever, but possibly for a little while.

[00:00:08]Cuz we've had uh very big discussions with Iran.

[00:00:12]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, [snorts] I think. And if they're satisfied, uh we will be probably satisfied, also.

[00:00:36]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're 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. Yeah.
