I see your English comprehension isn't too good:

In July 2024, Secretary Blinken claimed Iran was one or two weeks away from having enough fissile material breakout capacity to eventually make a weapon if Iran had decided to do so. There were indirect negotiations that the Biden administration did, but it went nowhere. So when President Trump argues that he did when no other president would, is it just simply that the bill was coming due and it fell on his watch?

I do think there's a certain element to that. And that's why I was supportive of President Trump joining in in June to take the strikes, that we had thought internally in the Biden administration, we may have to take, if there was a second term, we thought that the spring, summer of 2025 was probably, we may have to be there in the same place. And we did war games, we did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it, because that may have had to happen under our watch as well. But he said we obliterated their nuclear program. The question then is not about what he did in June. This war we were in now did not attack the nuclear facilities again. This was not about the nuclear. So the question now becomes, can you do a deal with the Iranians? And the maximumist positions that both sides have are right now very far apart, despite all the rhetoric that we're almost there or we are there, but if we're not there, we'll bomb the hell out of them.

BlueAnoners are as credulous as Trumpers when it comes to US imperialism, which is a bipartisan project.

Trumpers are more open about supporting imperialism
