While hes speaking there, i want to go back to our chief National Security correspondent jim jim. Hes got a commitment that not only u. N. Sanctions, european sanctions, u. S. Sanctions, they will be phased out over a period of time. We have no idea how quickly. He sounds pretty pleased with what has been achieved right . He used the word terminated that u. S.

They havent lived by it completely which is why we put the sanctions on them. Now were putting to test whether theres a change of heart or direction and if there isnt, we have every option available to us every day that we have right now. Neither side must be prepared to provide the flexibility that has led us to this agreement. If you look at the fact that now iran has a nuclear program, a heavy reactor and it was always peaceful.
