left the white house were you thinking this was all jelling here when i left the white house i thought that we might be able to get it across the finish line before this broadcast and it looks like the president has been able to do that i mean look he’s been working the phones constantly frankly before the 12-day war started but certainly over the past 12 days the president’s been extremely clear about america’s national objective here it is to create a world where iran cannot build a nuclear weapon we of course destroyed the nuclear program that they had and the president told the entire team “we’re going to work to make sure that they don’t try to rebuild that nuclear capability in the future.” and it’s look this is a great thing for israel think about this they’ve accomplished an important military objective they’ve helped us destroy the iranian nuclear program they’ve also destroyed the conventional missile capability of iran that threatened the country of israel for the iranians i think this is a new opportunity to actually pursue the path of peace as i said yesterday what the iranians have showed through their support of terror networks through their now failed effort to build a nuclear weapon is that they’re just not very good at war and i think the president really hit the reset button and said “look let’s actually produce long-term peace for the region.” that’s always been his goal i actually think when we look back we will say the 12-day war was an important reset moment for the entire region
