Iran is not getting rid of any of its nuclear plants. They're not getting rid of anything.

The Security Council decided to deal with Iran's nuclear intentions. The international community will not be willing to tolerate an Iran with a nuclear capability and an Iran that collaborates with terrorist organizations.

But Iran has gone far beyond what is necessary for a purely civilian programme. It has concealed several nuclear facilities from the International Atomic Energy Agency, played hide-and-seek with the international community, and rejected all offers of co-operation from the U.S., the EU, and others.

The world cannot afford a nuclear Iran.

The international community is unwilling to accept the policies of the Iranian regime.

I'm not an Iran expert.

The intelligence community does not have complete 'eyes on' the totality of the Iranian nuclear program, nor can it guarantee that we have identified all of Iran's nuclear facilities and processes.

As long as Iran believes that its security will be increased by having a nuclear program, it's going to pursue its program.

We need to force Iran to dismantle its nuclear program entirely or face the threat of military force to destroy that program.

The Iranian government intends to use the nuclear program for peaceful purposes, but must convince international public opinion of that.
