We're simply trying to say that Congress has a constitutional role to approve any deal, to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. Not today, not tomorrow, not ten years from now.

The Senate must approve any deal President Obama negotiates with Iran by a two-thirds majority vote.

I especially remain firmly opposed to a nuclear Iran and will review all related policies and proposed actions from that position.

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

I've repeatedly voted for sanctions against Iran. And I think all options should be on the table to prevent them from having nuclear weapons.

I have introduced legislation - with other senators from both parties, like Bob Corker and Bob Menendez and Joe Manchin - called the 'Countering the Iranian Threats Act', specifically to clamp down on a lot of Iran's nefarious activity throughout the region.

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.

Nuclear talks are not about nuclear capability. They are about Iranian integrity and dignity.

We are convinced that the only way to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue is through negotiations.
