we have the strictest sanctions ever put in place. we do believe there are early signs of those having an effect. ultimately we are going to need the assistance of the neighbors in the region. we have strong support in our security arrangements with japan and south korea. we are in very, very constant dialogue with china and russia because they have a very important role they can play to carry the message of the international community that this program really has to be halted and we have to have an opportunity to talk about the future of north korea and a denuclearized korean peninsula. bret: secretary tillerson, there was a tease in the speech about iran and the possibility that iran deal might not be renewed or somehow might be changed. october 15 is your deadline. can you shed some light on it? we are familiar with the flaws of the iranian nuclear deal and the most glaring flaw is the sunset provision.

president macron. the germans will be uncomfortable with any kind of changes. we will have to see what happens in the next few weeks. i was hoping he would reveal a little bit more about what happened at the meeting with the russians. tensions are pretty heavy. especially since we have winnowed down the staff and in mocks in moscow. it ll be interesting to see if we can be put on a slightly more normal relationship with a country we have still a very adversarial relationship with. it doesn t look like they re close the door to trying to improve it. bret: he suggested some of the embassy stuff was being worked out. mara, i took away the iran deal was the news. that was the news and he seemed to offer a path to stay in if they can do something about the sunset provision. that seems to be one of their biggest problems. bret: iran is not going to be okay with that.
