the only way that the JCPOA is likely to make the Middle East a better place rather than a worse one is if the United States uses it to remain involved in the region.
I believe that stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons militarily would likely require a major war, and quite possibly a full-scale U.S...
I see the JCPOA as a pretty good deal for 15 years, but after that it's a bet.
I fear that the JCPOA will justify another 'pivot to Asia,' which... was nothing more than an excuse for pivoting away from the Middle East.
I strongly supported this deal and continue to, and I strongly support tough enforcement of the deal.
The reason, among many, that I supported the deal is I think the U.S. has to try diplomacy first.
If we had walked away from the deal, the focus would have been on American negotiating tactics.
Secretary Kerry repeatedly raises the plate of Mr. Rezaian and the other detainees in Iran.
We don't ask permission from anyone.
This Council cannot allow Iran to feel that it can violate our resolutions with impunity.
Implementing Council resolutions is the sine qua non of a credible, enforceable nuclear deal.
