"I thank them for their extraordinary service, and I would remind them that the United States of America will never take the sanctions off Qasem Soleimani."

"Without sanctions relief from the United States, Iran would not disconnect centrifuges, or get rid of its uranium stockpile, or fill the core of the current Arak reactor with concrete."

"I believe one person may have read it at the--at the facility but doesn't have it."
