We will want them to continue to reduce purchases. And we will want Oil Producers like the saudis and others to maintain high production so there is alternative supplies. Iranians will know that we are beginning to make these preparations now we need to recognize this. That getting russia and china on board with an end to the negotiations and a return to sanctions is going to be very challenging, probably not possible especially in the context of this. But up until now come the most important sanctions and the ones that really bites are the ones that the u. S. And the allies have imposed and i think we need to begin making preparations should it become necessary to go back to this. And third, i would like to see the white house and Congress Working on legislation that would increase the u. S. Leverage authorizing the president to impose sanctions without at the same time giving the iranians an excuse to walk away and blame the United States and of course it will talk about this in more
Explore possibilities for useful legislation. As i say, they wont be easy, but it is amazing how if you try you can come up with something. One of the things that has been impressive about u. S. Negotiators with iran is how many good ideas they have come up with. And i would simply note to our audience that even david has come up with very interesting ideas that he slips in in the middle of paragraphs in his testimony.

Off your foot off the accelerator. So the number that they have discussed does not really mean anything. You are for specter, okay, heres the number of machines. You are mount of producing; therefore, we can make a conversion based on a number. But fundamentally, it is based on existing machine with existing capabilities. They will not reveal very much about what those machines can do. They do not reveal it to the iaea. Speak to david afterwards on this. Yes, greg. I wanted to follow up a bit, bob, on the russian iran deal that you mentioned. Clearly, by irans signaling a to not ness for russia only build additional reactors, but also for russia to supply fuel for those reactors, as well as remove the spent fuel, are weakening the argument for the practical need to support large number centrifuges in the future. Is, given the way the Supreme Leader has been characterized, and his really limiting iranian capabilities, why would the Supreme Leader approve this deal with russia . Well, i

On one hand, you have that older generation of humans take a shortly after fidel castro came over in cuba who are just enraged. They feel betrayed. They feel this is a fight they have been fighting for over 50 years and the government down there was on its last legs. I doing this, by doing this, they feel that the president gave them a lifeline and allow them to maintain a little bit of power with all of the money that will be headed to cuba now.
