"The United States, led in many ways by the Senate--you were a member there at the time--went through the careful and, I think, painstaking process of both diplomacy and tough sanctions."

"The President of the United States has made it clear he is prepared to move."

"A compact we sign with a country is a certain approach, a certain set of expectations for what they have to do--reforms in government process."

"We have made it crystal clear that Iran is not open for business."
