If you're Iran's minister of defense, I think you'd try to develop at least one nuclear weapon to save yourself from what happened to Iraq.

I think that Iran with a nuclear weapon is extremely destabilizing. I think it could precipitate a nuclear arms race in the region.

Our goal is simple: to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

I think the Iranians are clearly determined to have a nuclear program. And we have to assume that with a nuclear program they have the capability and the will to create a nuclear weapon.

The Russians and the Chinese have been absolutely clear they don't want to see Iran with a nuclear weapon.

Iran can never get a nuclear weapon, and it never will as long as I have anything to say about it.
