David, what is iran up to? >> well, listen, they're taking advantage of a vacuum, the absence of egypt right now. they're occupied. there are a lot of people out in the street in tehran. they're looking for a distraction. syria thrives on this type of chaos. they're just trying to spike the tensions in the region. so this is good for iran and syria and they're trying to stir up the pot a little bit. jenna: if they indeed do this, what's the proper response not only from israel but from us? >> well, jeez, we'll have to figure it out. i think israel will be on the guard here. whether they take d...

Nowhere close to having the the capability of doing that. but it could also build that. that would be in violation of pledges it made to russia and other technology. obviously iran doesn't play by any rule in the rule book any way. bottom line it could be anywhere from one to five years before iran could have the capability of a nuclear bomb. jon: they are saying that that computer virus hasn't really affected them at all. >> that's certainly not what anyone else seems to think. the one advantage the iranians have is of course they are on site watching these machines. on the other hand every o...

Course come from the very centrifuges that have been wrestling with this computer virus for the last few months and the general consensus has been that that probably slowed iran down by two to three years. so this new report seems to be at variance with the latest information that had been pretty consistent for quite a while that suggested we had a little more time, perhaps, than we previously had expected. so who knows. as you point out, these estimates go all over the place, and the bottom line is you can't expect them to be too exact because nobody is in there in the factories watching. we'...

It was worked on jointly by the united states and israel. it was a computer virus inserted into the iranian machines and alternately sped up and slowed down the machines until they broke, destroying about, according to the story, 1,000 iranian centrifuges, about a fifth of what they' been using to enrich uranium. and also sent a false signal to the iranian operators saying everything was okay to the machines. and the damage may not be over. it looks like there's a sleeper component to this and the virus may kick in again in a few months. >> now, how do we know this couldn't happen to us? obvio...
