"I think a strong resounding message of disapproval of this deal will provide the kind of political leverage to the next President and to the next Congress to do a number of things."

"I want the United States to be in the strongest possible position and keep Iran under the spotlight of international attention."

"Iran is not going to return to a negotiating table."

"I think it is clear though that the sanctions regime would not be as effective as it is today."
