Mr. Hook, reason i interrupted is, i just dont, i dont like being lied to, and said something that you repeated twice, thats been said committee before that i think is completely wrong, that jcpoa, iran deal, one of the reasons it was bad is because it you know d i think that thats false.

Deal, one of the reasons it was bad is because it expires. And i think you know that is false. There are provisions in the agreement that expired. Thats correct. So the agreement has a set of agreements dealing with centrifuges and inspections. So say to me, to our committee, to the American Public, that the deal was bad because it expires is just wrong. First paragraph of the deal, free face, i said first sentence. First paragraph of the deal. Iran reaffirms under no circumstances will iran ever seek develop or acquire any Nuclear Weapons.

Iran reaffirms under no circumstances will iran ever seek, develop or acquire any weapons. Thats not the only permanent part

You may be an example of someone who is at a competitive disadvantage because you dont have the same resources to deploy into thos
