00:00The President has pointed out that we will be prepared to recommence.
00:04If underneath the timeline of these talks, Iran does not do what it says it's going to
00:09do, which is give up nuclear weapons, give up nuclear ambitions, give away their nuclear
00:13material, close nuclear facilities, then the War Department is here and prepared to restart
00:19if we need to.
00:20We prefer not to, but we are prepared and postured to.
00:23When it comes to our alignment or posture in the region, we'll review what capabilities
00:30we need.
00:31When the blockade opens fully, we'll step back and allow commerce to flow.
00:35But if Iran doesn't comply, then we're more than able to reimpose an ironclad blockade.
00:41We've had basing in that region for a long time.
00:44A lot of that will stay just as it is.
00:46And we'll look at how many troops we need in the area and calibrate accordingly.
00:51But we're going to be the big stick behind the negotiations that never existed under President
00:56Obama.
