And what would it take to get hold of it and end Iran's nuclear program for good?

Well, welcome to the rest is classified. I'm Gordon Carrera. And I'm David McCloskey.

And David, we're in the second of these two episodes looking at the issue of Iran's nuclear

program, how to deal with it, what to do about Iran's highly enriched uranium. Last time, I guess we set up a
