probably something short of military action. over the coming weeks, over the coming months. would we be able to stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. but i think it's very, very unlikely. >> do you think that the, the sanctions can be made tough enough to hurt iran without hurting the iranian people? >> no. i think that if you put tough economic sanctions on what a regime like this will do with the regimes in north korea have done, is they will make sure that it is the iranian people that will be hurting. that will then give them the opportunity to go on international television and show how if we get tough sanctions, how what the russians the chinese, the americans and what the europeans are doing is hurting the iranian people and is really not stopping or changing their strategic direction. of course the iranian government will make sure that it is their people, that are the ones that suffer. and that they will probably not change their strategy.
