And now this unarmed drone is -- on.

What are -- going -- -- several things are going on on the Iranians are genuinely.

Angry about the sanctions because they are biting it doesn't mean Iran's gonna negotiate away their nukes it just means they're damned angry.

-- Are angry about our surveillance efforts against them even though -- -- international airspace and waters.

And so they set up what they thought was an ambush.

But they screwed -- up frankly the -- -- this they wanted to shoot that drone down period that's why they set up the aircraft they did.

But Iran of sending -- old Russian built aircraft.

But in inadequately trained pilots and it looks like the guns and those guns were calibrated and they missed twice.

They are good at this they've -- -- the world community out for years and years and not just Obama's last four years.

And they will string it out and one day there is going to be a test.

In the deserts of southeastern Iran the Iranian -- -- have a a nuclear weapon.

And -- say -- well now it's about containment I am convinced.

Convince Stewart that secretly this administration has accepted that Iran will have nuclear weapons and by the way.

This is the most anti Israel.

Administration we have ever had by far the just like -- Israel in this administration is.

Visceral that is an extraordinary statement Connell and we appreciate you being here to -- -- in no uncertain terms colonel Ralph Peters thank you very much indeed simply like please release coming out and tell us what's going on that we love the stuff thank you so that's.
