00:00We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek
00:06the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.
00:10That is the core goal of the president United States. And that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations.
00:15Again, their nuclear program, such as it is, the enrichment facilities that they've that they had before, they've been destroyed.
00:23But the simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to develop a
00:30nuclear weapon, not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term?
00:34We haven't seen that yet. We hope that we will. We just could not get to a situation where the
00:40Iranians were willing to accept our terms.
00:42I think that we were quite flexible. We were quite accommodating. The president told us you need to come here
00:47in good faith and make your best effort to get a deal.
00:51We did that. And unfortunately, we weren't able to make make any headway.
