We must not let up now.

We need to send a strong message to the regime and the international community that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable.

I personally think it is the right thing to do--but maintaining the appropriate balance of powers between the legislative and the executive branch.

I intend to move forward in this Committee this month on comprehensive sanctions legislation.

I think you are quite right in judging them not by what they say, but by what they do.

It is possible that they are operating as if they were in a bazaar and there are ultimately rational decisionmakers at the end of the day.

There is a 95-percent chance that they are rational decisionmakers and will behave like a normal nation state.

If we don't take aggressive steps, 1 day, we will wake up to the unpleasant surprise of them having become a nuclear power.

I know they were searching for a mission. With the recent crisis, they have been resuscitated. God willing, that is a temporary state of affairs.

A lot of good progress has been made. A lot of good work has been done, but this is still very much a work in progress.

So now it is up to all of us, basically, to act on these recommendations.
