"Iran is not simply an existential threat to our ally in the Middle East--Israel--but it is a threat."

"The critical thing is that we do something and we do something quickly if Iran doesn't respond to our offer by the deadline that the administration has set."

"If I am sitting in a camp, still facing pretty dismal conditions and worried about my security and/or my life, the counsels of patience and delay do not satisfy me."
