"If Iran used our legitimate imposition of new sanctions as a pretext to stop performing its JCPOA commitments, such a decision would have enormous consequences for Iran."

"I believe this deal, in fact, achieves what we need to achieve now."

"Iran has a record of noncompliance with the existing U.N. arms embargo that was imposed in connection with its nuclear program."

"We take issue with the suggestion that the Iranian Government does not detain people solely for expressing their opinions."
