Everything that's been discussed with them is that any sanctions relief? Now remember, sanctions come. There's international sanctions, there's congressional sanctions, there's executive sanctions.

But Any sanctions relief is condition based, which means it has to be in return for the reason why those sanctions were put in place in the first place, which is their nuclear program.
