| 0:00.0 | This is John Batchel, a conversation with Andrea Stricker, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, |
| 0:06.0 | about the chemical warfare program in Iran as a target for the Israelis and the Americans. |
| 0:14.0 | These are WMD labs, and more than a few of them are hidden inside universities or other institutions associated with medical health. |
| 0:24.0 | Here, Andrea describes hiding fentanyl. |
| 0:28.0 | Why would you hide fentanyl? |
| 0:29.2 | Because you can aerosol it and turn it into mass murder. |
| 0:34.8 | Here's Andrea to talk about dual-use universities. More of this later. |
| 0:42.3 | That's right. Israel has struck at least two universities related to chemical weapons, |
| 0:47.2 | research and development efforts, the Imam Hussein University and Malik Ashtar University of Technology. |
| 0:53.8 | And this is sort of Iran's longtime practice of co-mingling both civil and military capabilities |
| 1:00.3 | and making those really legitimate military targets under the laws of war. |
| 1:05.3 | Of course, the striking country has to consider the effect on civilians. |
| 1:09.7 | But, for example, one target in addition was the Tofig Daru Research and Engineering Company, |
| 1:16.2 | which is co-mingled with the Pasteur Institute in Tehran, which is a legitimate medical institution. |
| 1:22.5 | But Israel had evidence that the facility was supplying fentanyl to the regime's chemical weapons development, |
| 1:29.1 | and so they decided to eliminate it. |
