After almost two years of very intensive talks, the facts are really crystal clear, that the plan that was announced last week in vienna is in fact, a deal that does shut off those pathways. and provides us with guarantees through the lifetime of the npt and the participation of iran that we will know what they are doing. the chairman mentioned unless we give iran what they want in his opening comments. folks, they already have what they want. they got it ten years ago or more. they already have conquered the fuel cycle. when we began our negotiations iran had enough fissile material for 10 to...

Know what they were doing. guess what my friend? iran had 12,000 kilograms of highly enriched uranium and that's enough for 12 to 15 bombs. they had it. that's what barack obama dealt as a hand when he came in. 19,000 centrifuges already spinning. a country that already mastered the fuel cycle. a company that was on the threshold in the sense they are only two months from break out. we're expanding that break out from those two months to one year for ten years and longer. and we have lifetime inspection adherence to the iaea 25 years of tracking and monitoring their uranium for mining to milli...

Nothing in this agreement is based on trust. it is based on intrusive inspections, tracking and monitoring. an example -- and nobody's paid enough attention to this -- we will have television cameras and live tracking of their centrifuge production for 20 years. we will have tracking of their mining of any uranium whatsoever in iran for 25 years from the mine to the mill to the yellow cake, to the gas, to the centrifuge and to the waste. we have unprecedented ability to see what they are doing. and our intelligence community tells us that for them to have a covert path, they would have to have...

Material for a whole series of nuclear weapons. it's very dangerous. another issue that has to be dealt with is that iran -- this deal -- >> i was going to say, mark that in fact, it reduces the level of enriched uranium to such a low level that it can't be used for a weapon. there are real limits on the whole fuel cycle, the whole supply chain, and the centrifuges are going to be at least for the first ten years just the very early -- early centrifuges which are not as advanced as the ones that yes, after ten years they are going to be able to repurchase. so there are specific limits. perhaps...
