Let me say that I agree with you. I do not disagree with what you are saying.

We all share the same common objective, and that is to prevent Iran from being a nuclear weapons state.

I think this committee had to set an all-time record on the number of hearings and briefings, which I think was because of the issues.

This is a historic day, the 1-year anniversary of the signing of the JCPOA.

We know that some of the frozen assets are likely to be released to Iran, so they will get some sanction relief.

Information about the IAEA would be critically important and we should hear it directly from the IAEA.

Well, first, Chairman Corker, thank you very much for your leadership in the way that our committee has moved forward during this review period.

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 would just urge you to go back and take a look at the congressional record from when we passed the sanction regime in 2010 and look at what has happened since and how absolutely essential it was for congressional action in 2010 to lead…

We should have had an opportunity to debate this issue and look at the consequences far beyond just the immediate impact on individuals who wish to come to the United States.

Our confidence level will have to decline.

I urge Congress to make the right choice, and to support this deal.

Another thing we can do, and this became very clear to me in my visits to the gulf states, is that we have an articulated regional strategy to protect our allies in the region.

Technology helps, but it is not a perfect solution.

Let's be honest, we would have already passed legislation here, but the fact is the administration is pushing back against any legislation.

Well, Mr. Chairman, first let me thank you for today's hearing. I think it is extremely important.

I think the repeated ballistic missile launches and desire to purchase all types of weapons from Russia proves that an increased push back is necessary.

Not just this administration, other administrations, this country, we do not have a great record dealing with rogue nations.

We are going to be watching very closely and we are going to be prepared to do what we need to, to make it clear that we are going to use every tool in our toolbox and increase our toolbox so that we can act on these issues.

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

We have to start now, and we have to start in the context of this nuclear deal.

But we also know about U.S. leadership and what the United States must do for zero tolerance of violations.

I would just urge you to be aggressively working with us to set up the appropriate statutory framework to make it clear to Iran that we will not tolerate ballistic missile violations.

President Obama and his administration deserve praise for boldly pursuing the diplomatic path.

Mr. Chairman, thank you for calling this meeting on defeating Iran's threat network options for countering Iranian proxies.
