The world cannot afford a nuclear Iran.

Iran has the technology to produce the highly enriched uranium, which is not automatically meaning nuclear weapon.

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

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 United States, and the president's made this clear, does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us. And it's a red line obviously for the Israelis so we share a common goal here.

The Iranian regime doesn't express the wishes and values of the Iranian people.

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

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

I do not believe the efforts of the international community to stop Iran's nuclear program will bear fruit.

What the United States has to do is send a clear message to Iran that they will not be able to develop nuclear weapons. Why endure the difficulty of sanctions if they are not going to be able to develop nuclear weapons anyway?
