the international atomic energy agency, the u.s.e community said, and i quote, "iran's implementation of jcpoa has -- from a few months to one year." we have seen how this maximum pressure strategy has failed to change iran's behavior in the region. it has prompted iran to break out of the limits. it has also hurt the iranian people. this is a failed policy we need to move away from, not continue. that is the definition of insanity to continue the same failed policy. host: another caller from the u.k.. caller: thank you c-span. i am a fan of the show. it is very impartial and professional. my specific question for your two experts, were there any specific benefits from the trump administration regarding his more hard-line approach to the iran nuclear? that is my question for your experts. >> -- host: derek? guest: it is hard to find something from trump policy that has really worked well. one thing i would note is that before the former president pulled out of the deal in 2018, his state department negotiator was trying to work with
