mr. garrett. we go to mr. david cyst sill lynney of rhode island. mr. cicilline: i would like to focus very specifically on the sanctions and what specific actions the administration is considering in terms of removing or revising any of the existing waivers on sanctions on burma. i know earlier in testimony it was suggested that waivers are infrequently used. i pulled up on my phone. so i want to know, is the administration looking at revoking or revising those and instituting additional sanctions? what's the downside of that and particularly sanctions with the military in burma that is responsible for this outrageous and atrocious behavior? mr. murphy: thank you, congressman. i think what you're getting at is what consideration of actions can we take that can effect behavior change inside the country of actors who need to stop the violence. we have a deliberative process, interagency process under way where we are looking. mr. cicilline: including removing the waivers? mr. murphy: all the available options are under consideration. re-imposing restrict

mr. garrett: you can talk. i just felt like you were cut across the coals. and to be fair, i know you don't shape u.s. policy but i'm sympathetic to mark this down to mr. connolly's line of questioning. >> i appreciate the perspective. what can we do? this is a source of frustration and we are outraged by the human suffering. mr. murphy: there are many stakeholders inside the country that need to take action. this is not amon legitimateic authority. there are security forces and local ethnic leaders and the broad population and all of them need to take action. mr. garrett: i'm not trying to double down on beating up on you, whether it's in burma or central america or in africa that the local militias, et cetera, operating with a great deal more impunity when the government looks the other way. they continue to exist. but i think right now what we are saying, what i understand is they operate with impunity because the government either condones it or does president do anything to deter it. sorry, go ahead. mr. murphy: i appreciate that. i think the fact that w

mr. garrett said, the iaea and what army? if iran violates, it would trigger the reimposition of sanctions and the united states would have the ability to marshal of the international community. from my perspective, we retain tools under this agreement to make sure that iran stays in compliance. if they violate those terms, i would be the first one to say the united states should snap back sanctions and the deal creates the capability for the united states to effectively do that. it maintains the sanctions architecture. with respect to how we go about dealing with iran in the region, i believe this needs to be a multidimensional, whole of government approach. it means every aspect of our power, our economic power, military power, intelligence, etc., working with allies and partners in the region to put increasing pressure on iran and raise the cost for their behavior and their sponsorship of terrorism in the region. it means we need to invest in the defensive capability of our allies and partners as the previous discussion ab

mr. garrett. we go to robin kelly of illinois. >> thank you, mr. chair. i too agree walking away from the jcpoa would weaken the united states' position to increase pressure in the future while endangering any further non-proliferation agreements the u.s. might seek to make. this committee passed legislation that cracked down on iran's nefarious actions. how should the u.s. continue to put pressure on iran while adhering, excuse me, to the jcpoa? and is there a red line for iran with certain sanctions, would push them out of the agreement? >> just on the second point, on the question of red line, to respond to what mr. garrett said, the iaea and what army, if iran violates the provision of the jcpoa, that would be a violation that would trigger the reimp zition of sanctions and the united states would have the capacity to martial the international community because it would be iran violating the deal, not the united states. so we retain tools under this agreement to make sure iran stays in compliance. if they violate those terms, i would be the first one
