Not only did the Obama administration cancel the third site, it canceled every single program that was designed to develop capabilities to keep pace with the threat.
I think Iran will use nuclear weapons. They will use it to intimidate. They will use it to blackmail us.
Once you allow Iran to maintain and in fact under this agreement expand a large-scale infrastructure for enrichment, the agreement in and of itself explicitly recognizes at that point Iran as a nuclear weapons threshold state.
It is certainly better that Iran, at declared facilities, is spinning fewer centrifuges rather than more centrifuges.
