tions with Iran, along with the United Kingdom,

activities.

Iranian nuclear issue diplomatically. And we made it

very clear publicly that we’re willing to come to the
table, so long as the Iranians verifiably suspend their
program. In other words, we said to the Iranians

with our partners to solve the problem’’.

quire a capability to produce nuclear weapons;
