I wanted to get your thoughts on quadrupling of its uranium enrichment. what do you think about that prospect? >> its hard to know how much stock to put in that. iran has been producing uranium at a low rate. producing that wouldnt get them into trouble with the agreement until some time. its hard to know what is bluster to get leverage and how much represents a kind of imminent threat to the nuclear deal and sort of a nuclear risk. >> even if its bluster, what does it say? what is the message f...
