messages about it. we indicate thad need to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. >> senator, what do you make of this president's strategy here? >> well, i think what the president reminded us about is the fact that even as we're in this negotiation with iran with regard to their nuclear weapons program, there's still the leading -- he didn't say this, but i'm saying it -- they are still the leading state sponsor of terrorism and still undertake efforts every day to support groups around the region and around the world that can bring us harm or bring others harm. so we have to be very firm and direct with them that when they are doing something that's against our interest or create further instability in the region, that we take a concerted action against that, whatever it is, and i think the president's doing the right thing to be very firm with iran when it comes to issues that are beyond the negotiation. >> senator iran's actions in yemen are intentionally undermining nuclear negotiation?
