SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Israel is going to make a determination. The United States is going to have to also, similarly, make a calculation. Steve Witkoff, the president’s special Middle East envoy has been very clear. So has President Trump. The Iranians cannot have nuclear weapons.
Now, do you run the risk that the Iranians are going to want to strike back if you take out their nuclear facilities? Yeah, but at that point, you might as well take out their refineries and make sure that they can't have any money, which would probably lead to regime change.
I mean, when Trump left office, his sanctions had been so successful that there was growing animosity and a rising up of young people in Iran. They don't want to live under these Mullahs. They don't. They want regime change. They want modernization.
Now the question is, will the world see this as the moment to stop them? And I even have conservative friends of mine -- "Don't do it. Don't." I'm like, yeah. Well, I mean, you take out the nuclear facilities, they're going to be angry. They're going to want to attack back, but that threat already exists. I have no doubt under Biden and Harris, that Iranian terrorists are in this country already. They will strike one way or the other, regardless of if their nuclear facilities are stopped. That's just who they are.
