I've seen that just in the negotiation that we've had over the last couple of days that these are tough negotiators, but they're fundamentally the kinds of people who where them having a nuclear weapon would impose terrible costs on the entire world. If they're willing to engage in economic terrorism on the entire world, what would it mean? What leverage would they have if they had a nuclear bomb in Tehran? That's not an outcome that is acceptable to us or really should be acceptable to anybody. So I 100% support the President's goals here to keep nuclear weapons, to keep the worst weapons of war out of the hands of the Iranians. (10:05–10:15)
