Hello, everybody. This is Martha McCallum, and this is the untold story. It's great to have you with us.

We are absolutely in a very historic week as we watch the countdown for President Trump's deadline for Iran, which is 8 p.m.

And I'm speaking to you on Tuesday.

So 8 p.m. Tuesday night is the deadline at the moment.

We all understand that that could get pushed and things could change in the coming hours.

But I'm very

delighted to have with me this afternoon to discuss this really important historic moment.

Joining me as a retired U.S. Navy SEAL, former deputy commander of U.S. Central Command,

Vice Admiral Robert Harward. Admiral, great to have you with us. Thank you very much for joining me.

Martha, great to be with you. I think your term historic is almost an understatement.

Yes. Absolutely unprecedented. So give me a sense of how you see things just in a big picture,

first of all. And then I do want to ask you to kind of zoom in for our listeners on your own

personal association with Iran. But what's your big picture take right now as we wait for this

deadline? That the regime in Iran has changed, but it needs to change more. It needs to be a government

that's going to disavow the Islamic revolution

that brought them to power and discontinue the policies that they've ridden it.

And we're watching that unfold right now. Unbelievable and unprecedented that we had a president

willing to take on that challenge that's been percolating

for 47 years. And we're all watching it real-time unfold. And we're going to watch it to the

bitter end when this regime collapses in Iran. There's no doubt about it. So give us your

background, because you spent a lot of time in your formative years living in Iran.

Give us your personal story on that.
