And I think, I've got to be honest, I think fundamentally, fundamentally, this idea that. And it's a misrepresentation of the MoU, this idea that the Iranians get all these Benefits before the deal is actually consummated. The idea that they get benefits before they change their behavior is fundamentally a talking point that is issued by people who want the conflict to continue indefinitely. despite the fact that that's not good for the American people and it's not good for the region.

Asserts that claims of Iran receiving benefits before behavior change are misleading and politically motivated.
