John Kerry

I urge you to read it. It says here, 'Prominent members of the country's security establishment have come out at various stages of the negotiations in support of the Obama administration's efforts.'

Those same people asked for us to keep that in place 2 years later because it has worked.

The IAEA can request access to any suspicious location with 24 hours' notice under the Additional Protocol, which Iran, again, will implement.

I did say the words 'any time, anywhere,' and I am very pleased that yesterday a member of your caucus acknowledged, however, that the full sentence was 'any time, anywhere in the sense of a well-defined process with a well-defined end…

This plan was designed to address the nuclear issue alone, not to reform Iran's regime, or end its support for terrorism.

Make no mistake: we will never accept a nuclear-armed Iran.

If we walk away from what was agreed in Vienna, we will be walking away from every one of the restrictions we have negotiated.

The choice we face is between a deal that will ensure Iran's nuclear program is limited, rigorously scrutinized, and wholly peaceful--or no deal at all.

The alternative to the deal we have reached is not a better deal--some sort of unicorn arrangement involving Iran's complete capitulation.

The plan announced last week in Vienna is the good deal we have sought.

We believe this is a good deal for the world, a good deal for America, a good deal for our allies and friends in the region.

The only viable option here is a comprehensive diplomatic resolution of the type that was reached in Vienna.

The truth is that the Vienna plan will provide a stronger, more comprehensive, and more lasting means of limiting Iran's nuclear program than any alternative that has been spoken of.

Make no mistake. President Obama has made it crystal clear that we will never accept a nuclear-armed Iran.

Now, if the U.S. Congress moves to unilaterally reject what was agreed to in Vienna, the result will be the United States of America walking away from every one of the restrictions that we have achieved.

The choice we face is between an agreement that will ensure Iran's nuclear program is limited, rigorously scrutinized, and wholly peaceful, or no deal at all.

We set out to dismantle their ability to be able to build a nuclear weapon, and we have achieved that.

We passed it unanimously, and it played a very significant role in bringing Iran to the table.

This is not just the United States of America. These are other nuclear powers: France, the United Kingdom, Russia, China.

We know who we are dealing with. This is a state sponsor of terrorism.

The objective of an Iranian nuclear agreement is to prevent Iran from ever becoming a nuclear weapon state.

The broader context suggests that the near- and medium-term risks are low.

At Fordow, yes, if it's a secret and it's hidden and it's under a mountain and all of that, it raises questions about why would a peaceful program need that.

Under the terms of this agreement, Iran has agreed now to remove 98 percent of its stockpile voluntarily.

We know what they did. We have no doubt. We have absolute knowledge with respect to certain military activities they were engaged in
