But such a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear program will not be possible if we do not allow the negotiations to proceed to conclusion.

The President said new sanctions legislation would dramatically undermine the negotiations and our relations with negotiating partners and erode international support for multilateral sanctions.

We need Iran to understand that there are consequences if they fail to reach a comprehensive agreement.

I believe the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran is one of the most serious threats to our national security interests.

The days are over when the American people are going to say, 'Hey, they can just go negotiate this thing, we will take their word for it.'

At the end of the day, Iran must make up its mind about what is more important: its nuclear weapons program or the welfare of its people.

It is for that reason that I support legislation to strengthen sanctions should the Iranians fail to reach an agreement by the deadline the White House has set.

We share a belief that not only is the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran too great to tolerate, but that Iran's nuclear program could set off an arms race in the Middle East.

Iran can cheat, but we do not worry about that in the context of unsettling the Joint Plan of Action because technically it is not within it.

new sanctions at this time are unnecessary and, far from enhancing the prospects for negotiations, risk fatally undermining our diplomacy
