"I think it is likely, if the parties even get to the negotiating table, that the negotiations will likely not succeed."

"I greatly appreciate the opportunity to appear before you and your distinguished Committee this morning."

"I agree that the time has come for the United States and others to threaten much tougher sanctions on the Iranian regime."

"I believe the United States should consider instead a series of security and economic measures to contain Iranian power in the Middle East."
