Cornyn Discusses Preventing Iran From Getting a Nuclear Weapon with Sec. Rubio

Published | Video Starts at 02:41

You and I both sat in the same skiff on the Senate Intelligence Committee. We won't talk about the details, of course, but. But we knew that They continued to enrich to the point where they could produce a nuclear weapon within a specified time. There's some debate about how long that breakout would take. But the idea that an Iranian nuclear program did not present an imminent threat to the United States to me is just ludicrous and I think it defies all evidence to the contrary. (02:41–02:48)

CLAIM
