Why Hillary is Supporting the Iran Deal | Hillary Clinton

HILLARY: By the time President Obama took office and I became Secretary of State, Iran

was racing toward a nuclear capability.

HILLARY: I traveled the world, capital by capital, leader by leader, twisting arms to

help build the global coalition that produced some of the most effective sanctions in history.

HILLARY: This is what diplomacy and engagement is about… This is in the interest of our

people, our security, our safety, and our friends and allies.

INGRAHAM: China and Russia’s not going to go along with this, and we can’t move if

they’re not going to go along with it.

HILLARY:Today I am pleased to announce to this committee, we have reached agreement

on a strong draft with the cooperation of both Russia and China

SECRETARY GATES: She played a critical role in getting the much tougher sanctions on Iran,

and getting particularly the Russians and the Chinese on board.

CHRIS LAWRENCE: The State Department had finally persuaded Russia and China to get on board

with sanctions, so Secretary Clinton had the leeway to set that bar much higher.

HILLARY: That pressure gave us the leverage necessary to get to the negotiating table.

SECRETARY POWELL: Here's why I think it's a good deal.

They have been on a super highway for the last ten years to create a nuclear weapon.

And so we have stopped this highway race that they were going down, and I think that's very, very important.

HILLARY: This agreement, combined with strong enforcement and deterrence, is the only way

to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon…

tools, resources, and support to send a clear message to Iran…

Cheat, and you will pay. And when you threaten the region and Israel, you threaten America.

We will keep confronting you on human rights, and terrorism. And make no mistakes --

We will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon. Not just during the term of this agreement—

never.
