I think he's said a little bit about what that advice was.
But once the president makes a decision, so long as I think that it's legal and ethical and all that stuff, and I certainly think whether you agree or disagree with it, what we've done has been legal.
My attitude towards it is I try to make it as successful as possible.
And I've got friends, of course, I think you've expressed some skepticism of this.
I've got a lot of friends, both in private and public, who've expressed skepticism of this, who say, well, this is terrible.
We disagree with the decision, et cetera, et cetera.
I'm not a public commentator.
My approach to this is not to Monday morning quarterback a decision that was made three months ago.
My approach to it is to try to make it as successful as possible, which is why I poured my heart and soul into these negotiations, which is why I've tried to make that goal, Iran not having a nuclear weapon, something that's not true both – not just now but is true in the long term.
And that's the way that I try to approach it.

They want to bring about the 12th imam and the apocalypse and all that stuff.
There are people in Iran who believe that.
They're also pragmatists.
You've got the crazy people.
You've got the pragmatists, OK?
