Well, I am, and I think we all need to be very concerned about their ballistic missile activities with or without this agreement.

Any Iranian arms transfers to Houthis in Yemen, non-state actors in Lebanon (including Hizballah), and/or Iraqi Shi'a militias would violate relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

The Defense Department's primary responsibility with regard to the nuclear agreement is to ensure that the President has all military options available for any Iran contingency.

The United States will fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows, as U.S. Forces do all over the world.

Russia has built and tested a ground-launched cruise missile system that violates the Treaty.

I have consistently emphasized to them that they have a unique role, here, and also, insofar as they're concerned about Iran.

I believe that a stable, multi-sectarian Iraq is the only way to ensure the long-term defeat of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

In no way will this take away from our strong condemnation of Russian actions in Ukraine.

We will continue our strong support for Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The battlefield situation informs the efforts to train and equip the Iraqi Kurds and Sunni tribes.

The United States and Coalition already use the Iraqi Kurdistan Region as a base of operations to support Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR).

The Department does not have a clear picture of Shia militia recruiting and the impact of Shia militia recruiting on the ability of the Iraqi Government to recruit Iraqis for the Iraqi Security Force.
