I think ultimately they will need to come back. They are the ones that need an agreement.

Why in a hearing based on nuclear weapons and prohibiting the Iranians from getting a nuclear weapon would we waive a sanction at some point in time in the future on exporting conventional arms?

This particular agreement, as I understand it, and you can correct me if I am wrong, the IAEA is the inspector.

We want to make sure we never revisit that chapter in history.

Yesterday afternoon, the surviving hostages from the American embassy in Iran learned that this Congress will compensate for them in the omnibus bill we will take up later on this week.

I think it is a great example of how the Iranians continue to test the JCPOA and that, in the face of non-enforcement, the Iranians will know that they have a green light to continue to push at the international community and see what they…

I want to make sure we are getting as much oversight out of Congress as possible, so if there is cheating going on, we can detect it as soon as possible.

But the treaty specifically says none of the inspectors can be Americans. Is that correct?

We must be believable in our negotiation, or we will get taken.

there should be, because we need to reclaim some of the equality we ought to have in standing in this agreement once it is signed.

they get sort of the ultimate sanction here, which is, they get to start a nuclear program if they don't like it.

We know that. In your opening statement, Mr. Nephew, you state in there that the risk of them cheating is not zero.
