LEMIRE Mr Senator we ░░░░░░░░ start with you Thank ░░░░░░░░ for being with us ░░░░░░░░ morning Let s just ░░░░░░░░ your reaction to what ░░░░░░░░ overnight and is still ░░░░░░░░ as we speak despite ░░░░░░░░ mentioned warnings or requests ░░░░░░░░ should say from the ░░░░░░░░ States to give diplomacy ░░░░░░░░ chance Israel has hit ░░░░░░░░ and hit it hard ░░░░░░░░ reaction Kelly Well Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ think we need to ░░░░░░░░ consider for a second ░░░░░░░░ we got here I ░░░░░░░░ that s what I ░░░░░░░░ thinking about last night ░░░░░░░░ mean you ve got ░░░░░░░░ back up all the ░░░░░░░░ to the Obama Administration ░░░░░░░░ they put in the ░░░░░░░░ deal the JCPOA Joint ░░░░░░░░ Plan of Action and ░░░░░░░░ reduced the enrichment of ░░░░░░░░ and the type of ░░░░░░░░ that Iran was allowed ░░░░░░░░ have to make just ░░░░░░░░ grade uranium below 4 ░░░░░░░░ And then in 2018 ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump was president ░░░░░░░░ the first Trump term ░░░░░░░░ terminated that agreement At ░░░░░░░░ point Iran did not ░░░░░░░░ the amount and the ░░░░░░░░ of uranium to make ░░░░░░░░ nuclear weapon And my ░░░░░░░░ is that was a ░░░░░░░░ mistake And then over ░░░░░░░░ years they have increased ░░░░░░░░ amount of uranium And ░░░░░░░░ get the weapons you ░░░░░░░░ 90 enrichment or actually ░░░░░░░░ little bit higher than ░░░░░░░░ So they ve been ░░░░░░░░ this trajectory for a ░░░░░░░░ to be able to ░░░░░░░░ a nuclear weapon And ░░░░░░░░ Israel has a right ░░░░░░░░ defend itself to make ░░░░░░░░ that they don t ░░░░░░░░ to what s called ░░░░░░░░ to have the uranium ░░░░░░░░ make a real bomb ░░░░░░░░ they re getting close ░░░░░░░░ mean we ve been ░░░░░░░░ this and we expected ░░░░░░░░ Now my hope was ░░░░░░░░ this administration this president ░░░░░░░░ says he s really ░░░░░░░░ at making deals though ░░░░░░░░ haven t seen that ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine with Russia his ░░░░░░░░ there but the same ░░░░░░░░ here is that negotiation ░░░░░░░░ So now my biggest ░░░░░░░░ is just for you ░░░░░░░░ our equities in the ░░░░░░░░ U S citizens in ░░░░░░░░ Middle East I do ░░░░░░░░ want to see a ░░░░░░░░ conflict And I agree ░░░░░░░░ we should continue or ░░░░░░░░ Israelis should start negotiations ░░░░░░░░ with the Iranians.”
