God bless Hungary and God bless the United States of America.
We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.
And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
Do you believe the price of oil and gas will be lower before the midterm elections?
If the Iranians are going to try to engage in economic terrorism, we're going to abide by a simple principle that no Iranian ships are getting out either.
Not just Iranian flagged vessels, Brett, but any vessel that we know is going to Iranian ports or has come from Iranian ports, you're probably going to see some vessels try to reflag themselves.
But of course, we're going to know, because we have very good intelligence, which ships are going in and which ships are coming out that are connected to Iran.
They haven't been able to prosecute the case when it comes to weapons of war.
What they have done is engage in this act of economic terrorism against the entire world.
They basically threatened any ship that's moving through the Straits of Hormuz.
Well, as the president of the United States showed, two can play at that game.
And if the Iranians are going to try to engage in economic terrorism, we're going to abide by a simple principle that no Iranian ships are getting out either.
What some people call the dust, which is the enriched uranium that the Iranians currently possess, we have said that we want that to come out of their country and we would like to take possession of it.
That access, that material was actually buried underground by Operation Midnight Hammer.
But if you think about this over the long haul, the president doesn't want to leave the next president or the president after that to be worrying about this program.
And so we would like to get that material out of the country completely so that the United States has control of it.
That's number one.
And the second thing is that, again, to this point about verification, it's one thing for the Iranians to say that they're not going to have a nuclear weapon.
