So just to give you a little bit of a taste of how these three days of negotiations went, three separate times Jared and I opened up with the Iranian negotiators telling us they had the inalienable right to enrich all the nuclear fuel that they possessed. That’s how they opened. We, of course, responded that the president feels we have the inalienable right to stop you dead in your tracks. See you then. They went on to say that beyond the inalienable right to enrich, that was going to be their starting point. And Jared and I just sort of looked at each other, flummoxed, and said, well, we’re really in for it now.
… Let me say this, because I forgot this small little detail.
In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60% and they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance.
So that's - they were proud of it.
They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.
