We're not giving any money to Iran that can change the course of history to try diplomacy. Is the MOU problematic? Yes. I would rather try diplomacy than take it off the table. The money Iran gets is not going to change the future of Iran.

Because, before, I thought the money was coming from the West. If the West funds Iran, I think that would be a Marshall Plan with a Nazi still in charge for Germany. If the plan envisions the Sunni Arabs – yes, if the Sunni Arabs do it.
