Okay, let's bring in Nathan Sales, former ambassador at large and coordinator for counterterrorism.
Nathan, great to have you. You know, I was looking at some of the numbers that were just reported by Jen, and it looks like
when it comes to those THAADs and the Patriot missiles, we're not going to get back to pre-war levels until about 2030
at the earliest. So, does that change the strategy moving forward for President Trump and his cabinet as they are convening right now?
Do we have to get away from this tit-for-tat with Iran?
>> Well, Aisha, it's certainly a wake-up call. We we don't have 4 years to rebuild our capabilities. Like we we
should never be in a position The United States should never be in a position where our ability to achieve our strategic objectives is held hostage by a defense industrial base that is too slow and too unresponsive.
So, this is a wake-up call.
We've got to fix it, and we also have to fix the math.
Patriot interceptor, about $4 million a pop.
You don't want to blow $4 million every time you're taking out a $30,000 Iranian Shahed drone.
You have to get those numbers to work, and this is actually something that American innovators and the tech sector are incredibly good at.
We need to break the mold, bring the American capacity for innovation to the front lines, and that's how you fix this problem.
But unfortunately, Russia is looking at us, and China is looking at us.
They're taking our measure, and what they're seeing is the Americans can't rearm fast enough.
We've got to be able to rearm fast enough to maintain deterrence against those adversaries.
>> But what do we do right now because the Wall Street Journal had this report out that the CENTCOM commander had developed this option for the president to go into
a very intensive 10-to-14-day air campaign to the defense the missile capabilities for the IRGC.
They're all together right now at Camp David, I believe.
Do you think that What the best option for the president to go into a very intensive 10-to-14-day air campaign to the defense the missile capabilities for the IRGC. They're all together right now at Camp David, I believe. Do you think that What the best option for the the president?
>> Well, it certainly has one advantage in terms of playing defense.
It lets us play offense in order to bolster our defense.
Because if we're taking out Iranian ballistic missile sites and launchers, that reduces the strain on the back end on our own missile defense interceptor.
So, if we take them out on the ground in Iran, we don't have to shoot them down from the sky over Jordan or Kuwait or someplace else in the Middle East.
I don't know what the president's going to decide.
There were reasons to go hard against Iran right now.
There's reasons to give diplomacy a chance.
But one benefit is if we go hard against them, maybe that reduces the strain on our missile defenses.
>> Well, he says they lie all the time.
They they tell him one thing behind the scenes and then they go in public and say, "Well, we never talked about that."
I want to get to Hamas very quickly here.
A very historic agreement.
Here's the president during his cabinet meeting today.
>> It's a great breakthrough.
Nobody's ever thought that would Nobody thought that would be possible to disarm Hamas.
That shows you how much success we're having with Iran. Because
if you go 4 months ago, 5 months ago, a deal like that would have been impossible.
So, it's a big step for the Middle East and people are really impressed by it and they're surprised.
>> I never thought I'd be saying the words disarming Hamas.
I mean, how confident are you in that this group, a terrorist organization, is finally going to go through with this?
>> Well, first of all, credit to the administration for keeping their eye on the ball amid a number of other geopolitical crises and developments to get this to a better place than it had been in recent months.
Now, let's be clear. We're talking about Hamas. Signing a piece of paper is easy, but what really matters is implementation.
And we need to make sure that whatever Hamas commits to doing actually is going to result in concrete action on the ground.
And the key to that I think is
>> though, Nathan? Could they just be buying time just like the Iranians?
>> Maybe. Maybe. And it's a play they've done before and that's why the sequencing is so key.
Before Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip, Hamas has to disarm because that's the leverage.
That's the leverage you use in order to make sure that Hamas honors its commitments.
And if they choose not to, then Israel doesn't have to comply with its end of the bargain, either.
So, hopefully, the incentives built into this deal and the and the sequencing will result in progress here.
>> Okay, Nathan Sales, we very much appreciate you. Have a great weekend.
