- Enrichment and stockpiling are red lines for us.
- "We have an extension of the deadline. We see this as a very positive thing. We are negotiating with the Iranians. We may have a different definition of negotiations than they do. But we are talking to them. We have proposed (to meet). We think there will be meetings this week. We certainly hope so. Ships are passing (through the Strait of Hormuz) and that is a good sign. The president wants a peace agreement. But without pressure, no one is brought to the table. We are prepared to solve this through diplomatic means. There is no enrichment. There will be no second North Korea in the Middle East. We have a 15-point plan on the table. We expect a response from the Iranians. That could solve everything." via Axios
