Inside Iran, people are actually quite well-educated about America. There are things they don't understand, particularly in the government, but the people, by and large, know the American sensibility quite well, and the reverse is not true.

The nuclear deal with Iran is fundamentally flawed.

We have taught Iran's leaders and the world a very bad lesson: that there is a price on the head of Americans to be held hostage.

I think the American people are very smart in understanding our country is very trustworthy with nuclear weapons. We've had them from the beginning. But they have also been critical for keeping the world more at peace than it would have been if it hadn't been for the American nuclear umbrella.

A bad deal with Iran on nuclear weapons is worse than no deal at all.

Any deal that allows Iran to enrich uranium, which allows them to ultimately break out within a few months with a nuclear weapon, is a disaster for the world.

The Iranian people, with regards to the policies of various American administrations in the past 30 years, are very worried. They don't trust them.

Well, Israel, obviously, thinks of the Iranian nuclear program as an existential threat to Israel.

Iran is a major threat to the well-being of Europe and America just as much as it is for the state of Israel.

The reason that Americans have not been able to see the great strategic benefit that could accrue from a closer relationship with Iran is emotion.
