That would be a suicidal move on [Iran's] part, because I think the whole world would come against them if they did that.
We're prepared, right now, if they call right now and say, 'We want to meet, let's talk about this,' we're prepared to do that.
Closing the crucial Strait of Hormuz would be a 'suicidal' move for the regime.
If they choose the path of diplomacy, we're ready. We can do a deal that's good for them, the Iranian people and good for the world.
I think they should choose the route of peace. We have been – we have done everything. We have bent over backwards, OK, to create a deal with these people.
We have to assume that there’s a lot of 60% enriched uranium buried deep under the ground there in Isfahan.

With our increasingly heated rhetoric and our wild conspiracies, our politics has been playing with fire for a long, long time.
The regime does not pay these doctors, takes away their passports, and basically it is, in many ways, forced labor.
Allowing Khalil, who led protests against the war on Gaza, to stay in the U.S. would create a 'hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States.'
