I think that President Obama has done--I have been impressed by his diplomacy toward Iran.

the Congress can end this ambiguity by passing S. 908.

We cannot have a solely unilateral approach, that some of these steps might be helpful in constructing a larger strategy.

When you are contemplating an apocalypse, Senator, it is worth taking some time.

I think there was an agreement between you and Mr. Burns. I think you both agreed that, ideally, multilateral approach would be much more efficacious...

I am pleased to call to order this hearing of the Senate Banking Committee which will focus on how the United States can use sanctions and other forms of economic pressure to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.

I see President Obama continuing a lot of the strength that was in President Bush's policy.

Rather, it is only by applying the toughest possible sanctions that we stand any chance of persuading Iran's leaders to consider serious negotiations with the international community.

I think that the time for more aggressive action draws really, really close.

I think at the end of the day, the truth is, but a lot of people aren't willing to say it, that they are willing to accept a nuclear Iran.

I think it is a difficult prospect. I am not sure this strategy will succeed, but it is worth trying.
