00:00We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
00:07That's the good news.
00:08The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,
00:11and I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
00:15So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.
00:19We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on,
00:24and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on.
00:26And we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms.
00:34Well, I won't go into all the details because I don't want to negotiate it in public after we've negotiated
00:39for 21 hours in private.
00:41But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear
00:47weapon,
00:48and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.
00:52That is the core goal of the President of the United States,
00:54and that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations.
00:58Again, their nuclear programs, such as it is, the enrichment facilities that they had before, they've been destroyed.
01:06But the simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to develop a
01:13nuclear weapon,
01:14not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term?
01:17We haven't seen that yet.
01:17We hope that we will.
01:19We just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms.
01:26I think that we were quite flexible.
01:28We were quite accommodating.
01:29The President told us, you need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get a
01:34deal.
01:35We did that.
01:36And unfortunately, we weren't able to make any headway.
01:39Okay.
01:39phenomena.
01:39Let us know.
01:39Let us know.
01:39Let us know.
