## Transcript

We cannot let a murderers regime continue these stabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program. The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the United States has ever entered into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States, and I don't think you've heard the last of it, believe me. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran's government end its pursuit of death and destruction. We clearly have significant issues with the agreement.

The president's been quite clear and articulate, as to. His concerns about the agreement itself. He has made a decision. He has not shared that with anyone externally. Prime Minister May asked him if he would share with her. And he said, no. So I think You know, as the President has always indicated. He will let you know when he thinks it's useful to let you know and he doesn't share his forward planning with people. From a technical stand point, the IAE report can continue to indicate and confirm that Iran is in technical compliance of the agreement and no one around the table took exception to that.

The political side of the discussion is what I shared with you.
