Where we are our now is not in a good place. What we've seen in the last weeks and months is Iran is actually moving forward with this program.

The United States and other world leaders stand by that comprehensive proposal that President Biden laid out 10 days ago.

I can't go into the details of our conversations today except to say that our Egyptian counterparts were in communication with Hamas as early, as recently as a few hours ago.
