Any agreement with Iran should have strong verification and enforcement safeguards to prevent future cheating.

In order to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear country you have to introduce a system of verification and inspection.

Unlike Iran, Israel refuses to allow inspections at all, refuses to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty, has hundreds of nuclear weapons, has advanced delivery systems.

The information I have about Iran is second hand.

It is longstanding U.S. policy that we will talk to the Iranians anytime, anywhere, on any subject, with no preconditions. So far, they have not taken us up on our offer.

Iran wants to join the group of countries that want to know about the biggest things, like space.

Pat Roberts and I both feel very strongly that when we get to Iran, that we can't make the same mistakes. We have to ask the questions, the hard questions before, not afterwards, and get the right intelligence.

A diplomatic solution that puts significant and verifiable constraints on Iran's nuclear program represents the best and most sustainable chance to ensure that America, Israel, the entire Middle East will never be menaced by a nuclear-armed Iran.

The key to making the inspections work is the Iraqi government making the crucial decision that because of the international pressure Iraq has to disarm itself.

At face value, the U.S. Congress, there is a - they have a long way to go before they fully appreciate and understand Iranian people.
