Our own intelligence agencies have said that repeatedly.

What they have pursued, though, is a treaty with the UN Security Council to confirm that, to put them under strict monitoring, under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but in return for ending the US economic warfare on Iran.

Let us breathe.

Let us have a normal economy.

Let us trade.

And President Obama...

And by the way, one other thing, let us have our own money back because the United States has confiscated tens of billions of dollars of Iran's money.

Iran's money, not our money, because we do that as an empire.
