While that certainly would not have been my preference going into this conversation, i started my job as the guy going after iranian enrichment efforts. The practical reality is we faced a country that was not relinquishing this capability. Address the idea, is there an ail telternative to what were now . If we dont agree with this deal, do we have an alternative . If we dont agree to this deal, the iranians are going to start installing more centrifuges and if we get pack back to the table were going to be doing with centrifug centrifuges.
