I want to ask you another question that came in from Melbourne Australia Aaron brilla he said he said defense secretary James Madison Iran is the greatest threat to the United States my question why does the u.s. insist on setting the potential grounds for war with Iran?
That's been going on for years right through the Obama years Iran was regarded as the greatest threat to world peace and that's repeated over and over all options are open Obama's phrase meaning if we want to use nuclear weapons we can because of this terrible danger to peace actually the we have a there's a few interesting comments that should be made about this one is there also is something called world opinion what does the world think is the greatest threat to world peace well we know that from us run polls Gallup polls the United States nobody even close far ahead of any other threat Pakistan second much lower Iran hardly mentioned why is Iran regarded here as the greatest threat to world peace well we have an authoritative answer to that from the intelligence community which provides regular assessments to Congress on the global strategic situation and a couple of years ago their report what of course they always discuss Iran and the reports are pretty consistent as a Iran has a very low military spending even by the standards of the region much lower than Saudi Arabia Israel others its strategy is is defensive they want to deter attacks long enough for diplomacy to be entertained the conclusion intelligence conclusion this couple years ago is if they are developing nuclear weapons which we don't know but if they are it would be part of their deterrent strategy now why is the United States and is we'll even more so concerned about a deterrent who's concerned about a deterrent those who want to use force those who want to be free to use force are deeply concerned about a potential deterrent so yes Iran is the greatest threat to world peace might deter our use of force.
