citizens or u.s. media what even u.s. government will face things on their own benefit or they don't actually forget there are actually people living in this country but if war breaks out with this heightened tensions and those like fissures wars between each other and then almost any shows and then all those kind of thing if war breaks out it's also going to be influenced by those kind of comments. so i hope that. we don't want war in this country anymore so that's really the hope that when they think about the foreign policies on north north korea and also in the korean peninsula i hope that they can remember there are people living in this country who is actually living under the threat of the war every day. credit for could not be more apparent back at him jingo near the border which is separated korea since the end of world war two for a so-called de-militarized zone the presence of the military is palpable as the u.s. and south korea rehearse their war against the north just a few miles away still it's mostly civili

if the u.s. engages in this kind of strategy, it is likely that iranian proxies will take asymmetric action against u.s. troops in the region, putting them in danger. finish so the strategy of regional pushback is likely to be more costly than the current strategy towards iran. and i think perhaps most importantly -- and this really needs to be emphasized -- a strategy of regional pushback does nothing to solve the nuclear problem. it does not in any way address iran's nuclear program in the way that the jcpoa currently does. so both of these first two options are more risky, which is to say they stand less of a chance of working than the current deal, and they're also far less likely to produce a result that we can be happy with. so with that, i will turn it over to john who go through the remaining two >> thank you, emma. thank you, peter. thank you all for coming. i want to start by just reiterating some of the material that emma opened with. i think it's really important for emphasis that i d
