it has been about 18,000 and 800 centrifuges that has been added to iran's stock of centrifuge. sanctions have utterly failed in that regard. on the other hand. the people of iran blamed the west for restrictions that have been imposed on the livelihood, on the ability to buy medicine, on the ability to finance and purchase food items from abroad and they have blamed it squarely on the west for because they have tried to exercise their right and they have resisted pressure and intimidation and iranians are almost allergic to pressure and intimidation, they respond negatively. it seems to me that the west is trying to take advantage of this object to the form. we have a new government in iran with a different. foreign policy, different approach on foreign policy. the tenants have not changed. we will insist on our rights. we will not negotiation or compromise on the rights of the iranian people. but we believe this can be achieved best through constru constructive engagement. the window of opportunity is a limited window. i believe the west needs to they believe that the west has
