AP's Matt Lee Grills State Dept. on Iran and Arms - July 21, 2015

but i'll get you can can you can you think of one instance in which what you ended up with is better than what you were seeking well

uh sanctions under the u. n. security council resolutions you put those sanctions and drove around to negotiate it

was always understood that that all of those sanctions would be listen that wants %HESITATION when iran comply with

their requirements underlings we held out for more mean interesting that some of the criticism against you as well some

of the of the arms embargo and goes out to five and then is listed in to aid in that gets lifted that

was actually extra the measures put in place by negotiators at the table certainly

led by secretary kerry because it leads to members of the p. five plus one one of the the intent

of the resolutions to be met right work which leads me but it was never the position of the administration that the

arms embargo in the ballistic missile action should remain regardless of whether there was a dear friend that wasn't here

are sanctions will remain in place no you went with the the u. n. security council resolutions which put

those sanctions on did so with the intent of driving the wrong nnal specifically over their

nuclear program right so it was always understood by all the members p. five plus one that as part of how

they kiss their asses of those u. n. security council resolutions to which are now going old shirt she superseded by yesterday i

didn't %HESITATION are stronger they call for iran to suspend or halt enrichment altogether

so when you say that well russia and china one of the arms embargo invalid technical stuff to go immediately

%HESITATION they wouldn't have gone immediately because iran was a clients with the we with the terms of the previous resolutions they

wouldn't go immediately well insulated that their requirements with their exactly you're casting this is as

you wish it's a u. s. victory or i assume something that exceed your expectations that you kept the arms embargo

in place for five years when in fact i believe the administration wanted it in place forever but maybe i'm wrong on that in the ballistic missile sites and blogs missile

stuff uh for eight years so while you may be able to make the argument in your own

the administration might be able to make the the the argument that you got five an eight as opposed to zero why

i never comes at the negotiating table and we never get a deal yeah but the reason they were put in place was to drive them to right

anybody goes well i get that but but the previous security come the resolution called for iran not to have any i

don't know you're allowing them enrichment and yet you're giving them this arms embargo bulls nnnnn no
