wendy sherman, how much of a threat is this latest test?oh, i think the fact north korea has conducted now a fourth nuclear test is a concern. i agree with the white house's assessment so far and i will be glad to hear what mr. hecker has to say that this isn't a hydrogen test, but nonetheless, four nuclear tests are of concern to us. >> ifill: the fact to have the test is more concern? >> a hydrogen bomb is much more powerful and we're concerned about miniaturization of the weapon so it might be carried on a weapon to south korea, japan or the united states. i think the united states and the world community needs to act with resolve. >> ifill: siegfried hecker, tell us what is possible for north korea to have pulled off in this case? >> it's not clear exactly what they did. as sherman pointed out, they did a nuclear test. my greatest concern is they did the fourth nuclear test. with that nuclear test, they clearly achieved greater sophistication and most likely meaning being able to make the bomb smaller, lighter and, therefore, have great

like the blocking -- like if wendy sherman was the running back in the iranian negotiations i'm just trying to give her the space. you know. like you shouldn't have to worry, wendy, about all this stuff back home, congress, and you know, the media, churn on this. so some of my role in this job is to try to give the diplomats the space to just do their jobs and not have to worry about it. and actually remember literally being in discussions with all of us, and saying you guys think about the -- you know, don't -- you know -- don't kind of -- don't be negotiating with congress at the same time that you're negotiating with the p5+1. you know, we'll be thinking all that through, and, because the risk is that, you know, they don't feel the freedom to actually get the deal done. because they're just -- they have 500 voices, in their heads. so, part of this is absorbing

joining me is probably not serve nasr, wendy sherman, who was a leading u.s. negotiator with iran. also, david singer, the you are times -- the new york times national security correspondent, and phil gordon. i am pleased to have all of them on this program. i begin with philip gordon. where are we? we are in a situation that is even more difficult than it was a few days ago. charlie: because more people have gotten involved, or because more people seem to be backing down? key too, because the these situations is the splits between saudi arabia and iran. that is driving the conflicts in

lead negotiator wendy sherman remains with us from tel-aviv.sk you about the nature of these concessions and how far it puts iran back. one of the things it hasn't focused on enough is the plutonium facility that iran has cemented over. most nuclear arsenals are plutonium. the united states' arsenal is 100% plutonium because it gives you a bigger bang for the buck. and this was one that iran has not just scaled back, but completely destroyed. >> yes. many people didn't want us to negotiate with iran on this deal. they wanted to go to war and attack iran. the reactor was one of the drivers that pushed the israelis to say we have to attack now. once it goes operational, attacking then would spew radio activity all over the region. it was these negotiations that first stopped the construction of that reactor. and now as verified just yesterday by the iaea has completely gutted that reactor. we've taken out the core of the reactor. the iranians have filled it with holes. filled it with concrete. this is now like the parrot from monty python. it is

we talked to philip gordon, wendy sherman, vali nasr and david sanger. >> i think we're reaching a point that we need to get tough with the saudis, and we actually have to assert more united states interest in iraq and syria vis-a-vis i.s.i.s. and to demand to the saudis like we demand of many other allies around the world that they cannot wreck our policies and we have certain expectations of them. >> rose: we conclude this evening with the director of the film "carol," todd haynes. >> it reminded me of, maybe in ways i hadn't been reminded in years, what it feels like to be falling in love with somebody, to be in the dark, to not know where you stand, to be reading the signs, you know, that the other person is giving you and trying to discern your fate or whether this is going to happen. and so i think there is just something beyond the fact that it's a lesbian love story set at this very specific time. historically, it reminds you about being in love and the vulnerability of that position. >> rose: the saudi arabia and iran conflict and the director todd haynes, when we continue. >> r

they recruited back wendy sherman, the one person on earth who has already messed this up once to betiator on the failed iranian nuclear deal. and sadly, wendy sherman negotiated essentially the same deal, sending in -- >> i want to bring in cnn political director david chalian who joins us now from washington. we're going to keep listening to ted cruz because i think he is about to address the issue of his birth in canada. you know, david, it was interesting. we had dan pfeiffer on with us before. senior adviser to president obama. and dan told us he thought it was a mistake that president obama and the white house did not address trump's birther stuff more quickly when he was in the white house and thinks ted cruz needs to say more directly and fast. >> and my guess is he probably will. listen, he has already said, remember, he issued a full statement renouncing his canadian citizenship. this is now a year and a half ago he did this. clearly in advance of the presidential run in knowing that this issue was bound to come up as it came up with george romney and it came up with john m

listen to what former diplomat wendy sherman had to say about ms.kberries, and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your blackberry that would never be on an unclassified system, but you're out traveling, you're trying to negotiate something. stuart: on tap two years -- on tape two years ago, clearly, hillary clinton had classified material on her private server. ambassador bolton is with us. i don't know why you're laughing, because it's not funny, this is serious stuff. i want to go back to the beginning. why would someone with the experience of hillary clinton, former first lady, senator secretary of state, why would she have her own private e-mail server right from the get go? >> well, i think it's precisely because of her knowledge about the government that they wanted to find a way of communicating that, in their view, would keep the records created outside the purview of the government and the records retention statutes that govern all regularly-created federal documents. i think what's significant here is we have yet to

and so i would expect this to happen very soon. >> wendy sherman, thank you very being with us today.thank you. >>> and still ahead, terror arrests. three russian nationals detained in istanbul following a bombing in a popular tourist area. a report from richard engel coming up. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but after lunch my knee started hurting again so... more pills. yep... another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? for my pain... i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy open cap. you're down with crestor. alright! now there's a way you can get crestor for $3. adding crestor, along with diet, lowers bad cholesterol. crestor is not for people with liver disease, or women who are nursing,pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness; feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite

wendy sherman messed it up. said that's how -- >> i don't know much about politics, but i know when your communication kicks me. the interview is over. thank you. >> thanks to senator cruz. up next, barry bennett, after this. on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a differen

joining us is former secretary of state for political affairs, ambassador wendy sherman.to respond to critics of the deal. what is the missing link? what makes this deal possibly a very, very, very good development between u.s. and iranian relationships? >> thank you, mika. very good to be with you all this morning. it makes it a good deal because it insures iran will never get a nuclear weapon which has been president obama's objective and objective of the world. it does that by shutting down the pathways to the material, the matter you need to create the fuel for a nuclear weapon. indeed, if for some reason iran does not comply, it has inside that deal all the mechanisms to make sure u.s. can unilaterally or with our partners snap back all the sanctions and of course, we have the other options at our disposal as well. i believe this deal will get implemented and i'm very grateful this weekend and now the international atomic agency will continue to watch over this deal as will the rest of the world to make sure iran complies. >> we have the president and counsel of fore

about her handling of classified information which comes from former state department official wendy sherman. >> now we have blackberries, and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear in your blackberries that would never be on unclassified system. you're out traveling, trying to negotiate. >> exclusively obtained a video where she boasted about how clinton and her aides sent sensitive information on unclassified systems. sherman cited the example of the visit to the united nations general assembly of the then secretary of state met with lady ashton and conducted delicate mideast piece negotiations. >> they sat there with their blackberries transferring language back and forth between them and their aides to multitask in quite a new fashion to have the meeting and at the same time be working. >> fox check the email dumps, and top aide jake sullivan forwarded an e-mail chain to clinton that included notes on the statement what's the state department had deemed to be classified and officials redacted details from the public. per guidelines documents involving foreign relations a

here is one of her aides, wendy sherman, admitting yes this happens. >> now we have blackberrys. it has changed the way diplomacy is done of the things appear on your blackberry that would never be on an unclassified system. you're out traveling. trying to negotiate something. trish: how times have changed. while the clinton camp continues to brush off the whole scandal as another right-wing hack job, voters, i'll tell you, they are paying attention. >> i heard from quite a few people my age that they think you're dishonest. but i would like to hear from you why you feel the enthusiasm isn't there? >> well, think it really depends upon who you're seeing and talking to. trish: reality this young man is not alone. according to a new "fox news poll" in new hampshire, nearly a third of voters there saying honesty is the number one factor that they're looking for in a candidate which could be why she is losing more than 20 points to socialist bernie sanders two weeks to the day from the new hampshire primary. here with the look what is ahead for hillary clinton democratic strategist,

veteran diplomat wendy sherman said if clinton used her personal device to share information that would never be on an unclassified system. erika, were you satisfied with hillary's answer? it's odd because she seemed like she was caught off guard and yet she must know this on the forefront of everyone's mind. >> i think she believes this is not worth the public's time and she believes that no one should be talking about it. the reality is that may be true technically. in the court of public opinion people are curious. if that's what the public wants to talk about running for an office and being part of a campaign, you have to talk about what the public wants to talk about. that's a bit of a disconnect. the other thing is i think she has looked at the defenses and it doesn't matter if the words at that point make sense and ring true. people respond to body language and tone. if she comes across as defensive, people won't hear the word. charles: you can't be defensive and offensive. >> it was weird body language. he essentially called her a liar on national tv. he said people call her a l

joining me is probably not serve nasr, wendy sherman, who was a leading u.s. negotiator with iran.lso, david singer, the you are times -- the new york times national security correspondent, and phil gordon. i am pleased to have all of them on this program. i begin with philip gordon. where are we? we are in a situation that is even more difficult than it was a few days ago. charlie: because more people have gotten involved, or because more people seem to be backing down? key too, because the these situations is the splits between saudi arabia and iran. that is driving the conflicts in syria, yemen, driving the policy the policyl, driving on executions, and so many other things in the region. the prerequisite to deal with these conflicts is to have some form of tolerance. you have this process going on in vienna to get these guys at the table for the first time, which led to some sliver of hope that you could bridge the gap and bring this terrible war to an end, and with the execution of the shia cleric, the burning of the embassy, the rupture of democracy, it has set back any hope

last week we brought you that exclusive information about the former state department official wendy sherman who said on camera they had used blackberries in the clinton state department to send sensitive information over nonclassified. watch. >> i take classified information very very seriously. you can't get information off the classified system in the state department to put on to an unclassified system, no matter what the system is. >> now we have blackberries, and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your blackberry that would never be on an unclassified system, but you're out traveling, trying to negotiate something. >> reporter: so you can see the exact opposite being said there. bottom line is hillary clinton also said on abc to her this is becoming benghazi in that she thinks republicans are just pounding on the e-mail thing no matter what and that might be a signal to her democratic supporters to rally the base and say they're coming after me but there's no there there. we'll see. there's still an fbi investigation. >> there's something called the fbi. they so

which comes from former state department official wendy sherman, who served in the obama and clinton administrations. >> now we have blackberries and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your blackberry that would never be on an unclassified system. you're out traveling. trying to negotiate something. >> fox news has obtained a video showing sherman with the american foreign services. sensitive information on unclassified systems. sherman cited the example of clinton's september 2011 visit to the united nations general assembly, where the then secretary of state, met with lady ashton of the european union, and they conducted delicate mideast peace negotiations. >> they sat there as they were having their meeting with their black berries transferring language back and forth, to multitask in a quite a new fashion. to have the meeting at the same time be working on the court's statement. >> fox checked some of the state department's previous e-mail dumps. in september 2011, jake sullivan forwarded an e-mail chain to clinton that included notes on the statement. whi

i'm quoting wendy sherman who was on the program this week.hey have essentially met the schedule and complied. mike: yes. charlie: on the other hand, they are developing missiles that can deliver. mike: right. there's a lot of things, charlie, and we've talked about this before -- there's a lot of things the iranians do that are contrary to u.s. interests. one is, they are really the only state left in the world that actually practices terrorism as a tool of statecraft. an organization inside the government called the irgc kuds force practices terrorism around the world against iran's enemies their perspective. they provide support to international terror groups. hezbollah, for example. hezbollah could not exist without the support it gets from iran. three, iran provides support to insurgencies in the region designed to overthrow the sunni arab governments. charlie: that is what we call iranian behavior. what do you do about iranian behavior? it was not part of the iranian nuclear deal. mike: exactly. charlie: this administration has said, we

this is wendy sherman, a former top state department official, worked in the first clinton administration and worked under hillary clinton when she was secretary of state. we've gotten our hands on a video from 2013 where she was talking about the differences between both state departments over the years. talked about how important technology was and basically said that hillary clinton and her aides were using blackberries to send very sensitive information to each other. watch. >> now we have blackberries. and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your blackberries that would never be on an unclassified system. but you're out traveling, trying to negotiate something. >> now, you see right there, it would have never been on an unclassified system, clinton official insists to me this is not a big deal. look what happened last night when hillary clinton was pressed on the e-mail situation. watch. >> you're willing to say it was an error in judgment you should have apologized. >> i'm not willing to say it was an error in judgment. nothing i did was wrong. it was not in a

the same person who negotiated the deal for bill clinton in north korea, wendy sherman, negotiated the same iranian deal for president obama. so we're getting hoodwinked on the whole thing. you know this is what happens when you take your eye off the ball. and now, could be chaos out there on the peninsula. andrea: you mentioned iran. that is really the point. they tested the missile. now allegedly north korea tested warhead. iran doesn't have to test the warhead as emac pointed out they have extra theater in in north korea to do it. they are all intertwined. hard power is gonethanks to president obama. axis of evil is alive and well again. we will never hear from josh earn e. they're working to confirm this? we'll never know. harris: if iran and north korea working together why don't we punish iranians? >> we have to be nice to the iranians. we don't want to make them angry, harris. harris: the attack not stopping. donald trump blasting bill an hillary clinton in fresh interviews. the former secretary of state refusing to respond? is her strategy a good one? remember the missouri univ

you had wendy sherman who worked with the bill clinton administration who really messed up with the situation with north korea and most recently for barack obama with iran. and she is the one that has been driver on this. and you are void of a foreign policy that our allies understand. absolutely, that the american people and those of us here on capitol hill can say, this is u.s. foreign policy. trish: we just heard from general keane, representative blackburn, he watts making the point this is sort of north korea trying to get a little attention. >> that's right. trish: let me take that forward. do you think, give the world is so focused on islamic terrorism and isis and that is what has dominated airwaves, north korea felt like this might be the time to do something because they wanted to actually shift attention back to them? i just come out of it saying why would they want to do this? it means it will get more hostile for them. we'll invoke more sanctions. it can't be pleasant? >> but you have a leader of north korea, kim jong-un who is a child-like leader who has tendency to throw these

clinton's handling of the class fight information, they come from former state department official wendy sherman in a video from 2013. in it sherman boosts about how clinton and her aid sent highly sensitive information on unclassified systems such as black berries. >> now we have black berries, and it has change the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your black berry that would never be on a classified system but you are out travel trying to negotiate something. >> sherman cited example of clinton's 2011 visit to the u.n. general assembly where she conduct delicate mid east peace negotiations using her black berry. clinton aid would not comment on this newly discovered video, guys. we will keep an eye on that and especially poll numbers as they tend to go in bernie's direction. >> that is for sure. >>> what else is going on, lauren. >>> new ruling handed down by supreme court means hundreds of murderers sentenced to life without parole as teens will be considered for parole if given a new sentence. in a split decision majority of the justices extended 2012 decision that struck down automat

bill neely in london and on the phone, former under secretary of state for political affairs, wendy shermanunity do about what north korea does or doesn't do? >> well, the united nations can impose further sanctions on north korea which they already have done. i suspect that they will take some action though it will take days, if not weeks to confirm what actually happened in north korea. we believe there was a nuclear test, but the claims of a hydrogen test are quite suspect. that said, this is clearly an escalation by north korea and a statement that it is going to proceed forward with a program that presents great risks to the world. >> wendy, the u.n. has had sanctions in the past. the united states in the past has been involved in sanctions in north korea. does north korea really need those -- in other words, as long as you have china being your benefactor, does the united states or the rest of the world giving you more or less sanctions really make an impact on that dictator there? >> well, there's no question that china's really the critical player here. even though the chinese leade

wendy sherman, no longer in the government, played a significant role, john kerry. elise, good reporting. thank you very much. we are standing by. we expect at some point to hear from the secretary of state, the iranian foreign minister, gentleman vod zarif. we will see if president obama goes out and addresses the american people on this historic day as well. much more of our special coverage coming up right after a quick break i accept i'm not the rower i used to be.. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept is getting out there with less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin, i will. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliq

veteran aide wendy sherman was giving a 2013 speech on how technology is changing diplomacy. >> now we have blackberries, and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your blackberry that would never be on an unclassified system but you're out traveling, you're trying to negotiate something. reporter: meantime fox news has learned the fbi is boeing straight to the us so in its investigation of classified emails that crossed hillary clinton personal server. speaking with the intelligence agencies and some cases the individuals that gathered the information. this step speaks to the diligence which the bureau is handling the investigation despite the former secretary of state's claims that the matter boils down to a mere interagency dispute. meanwhile former intelligence and law enforcement officers emphasize it is not possible to cut and paste from classified network to unclassified system to perform what is known as intelligence summers as jumping the gap. most likely scenario an individual who had hack ses with classified information, surprised in their own words whic

>> i remember debating wendy sherman, and i would just make the point that we had an example of what could deter north korea. in 2005, we had a situation where you had banco delta asia. >> in macao. >> $100 bank notes were being counterfeited, and they moved forward, and gave a choice to the bank in macao and ten other banks that served as a conduit, they could get cut off, and bank with north korea, or freeze the accounts. what were the results? afterwards, we discovered that the missile production line, north korea could no longer get the hard currency they needed, it came to a complete halt. more importantly, not only was the dictator not able to pay his army or his secret police, wasn't able to pay his generals. that's not a good position for a dictator to be in. as a consequence, every meeting after that started with one question, when do we get our money? unfortunately, treasury was not left in the position of making the key decision on this. unfortunately, that decision was made by the state department, and they lifted, as part of a negotiation, that north korea would come bac

what wendy sherman is saying, she is talking in the video about how technology has changed.to specifically what she has to say. >> now we have blackberries. and it has changed the way diplomacy is done. things appear on your blackberry that would never be on an unclassified system. you're out negotiating, trying to negotiate something. >> that was -- >> a former undersecretary of state. >> she was. she was the lead negotiator in the iran nuclear deal. she's been involved in negotiations, diplomacy, things that involve time sensitive negotiations. she was saying, look, technology has changed. it's great. now we use balackberries, but te problem here is she's saying things were done differently with clinton than they were done before in terms of using the blackberries. >> you said it was sloppy, is it illegal? >> a good question. we have seen hillary clinton use specific terms. the first thing she said is i did not send or receive anything that was marked classified. well we know, it does not have to be marked classified to be classified. i can take notes in a classified brief

but if wendy sherman was the running back in the negotiations, i'm just trying to -- [laughter] you shouldn'thave to worry about all this stuff back home and congress and the media and so some of my role in this job is to try to give the diplomats the space to do their job and not have to worry about it and actually remember being in discussions with all of us and saying don't be negotiating with congress at the same time that you are negotiating with the p5 plus one. we will be thinking of through because it is they don't feel the freedom to actually get the deal done because they just have 500 voices in their heads. so, part of it is absorbing some of that and that's part of what happens to be. >> i am a graduate of the school of foreign service and i want to express my appreciation for the state of the union address i thought it was a great speech. my question is related to a foreign-policy issue that didn't come up in the speech which is the united states intervention in libya. i was curious if you could show the overthrow in the larger context of obama's's foreign-policy. thank foreign p

see my role sometimes i can do, something funny for some of his views sure, but i am like, if wendy shermanwas the rouhani black in the iran -- was the running back endeavor in negotiations, you should never naturally but all the stuff back home, congress, the media, so some of my role in this job is to try to give that diplomats the space to just do their jobs and not have to worry about it. i actually remember literally been in discussions with all of us and saying, you guys think about, like don't, you know, don't be negotiated with congress at the same time you were negotiating with the p5+1. we will be thinking all that through, and, because the risk is that they don't feel the freedom to actually get the deal done because they have 500 voices in their heads. so part of this is absorbing some of that and that's part of what the white house is supposed to do. >> i am a graduate of the school of foreign service. first of all i just wanted to express my appreciation for the state of union address. i thought that was a great speech. my question actually is related to a foreign policy issue

previouslye mall and by wendi sherman, all of them from the state department to the white house and throughout the interagency system that we work with in the united states, all of them, the justice department, the energy department and others have done an extraordinary job and they richly deserve the gratitude of our nation. and other nations who benefit from this. let me also think the government of austria, switzerland, and and and their continued or mislead generous hospitality at times come assistance all of the time and for the international work they have helped to make possible here and i am particularly grateful to the government switzerland and those who have worked in the last days as our representative an regarding in tehr the release of the americans which you will hear more about from president obama later. finally, i want to express my deep respect for the serious and constructive approach that iran's delegation brought to this effort. and hisign minister team from day one demonstrated their deep commitment and serious of -- seriousness of purpose. the doctor has worked diligent

during that original framework agreement, i remember debating wendy sherman at the time, who was thechief negotiator not only for the north korea agreement but also for the iranian agreement. i would just make the point that we had an example of what could deter north korea. in 2005, we had a situation where you had banco delta asia. >> in macao. >> in macao, was the discover on the part of the treasury department that $100 banknotes were being counterfeited by the government in north korea. this obviously gave the undersecretary the authority to go forward, and he sanctioned that activity, and he gave a choice to the bank in macao and ten other banks that served as the conduit for the hard currency needed by north korea. they had a choice between remaining part of the international banking system and banking with the united states or being cut off, and they could bank with north korea. they all made a decision against banking suicide and all decided they would freeze the accounts with north korea. what were the results? afterwards, we discovered that the missile production line, tha

when you look at who really flushed out this deal, john kerry, wendy sherman in the state department. sitting in vienna. for them, an historic moment. >> nbc chief foreign correspondent richard engel joining us from vienna. what more can you tell us about what's happening there? >> we are waiting right now for an announcement from the iaea, the international atomic energy agency, and this announcement is supposed to come earlier in the day. this is an announcement that the u.s. has been working on with iran in secret, often complicated diplomatic talks for the last 2 1/2 years. and these -- this announcement which could come any moment is really quite -- is really delayed already at this stage. is supposed to acknowledge iran has, in fact, complied with its side of the nuclear agreement, and then allowing it to -- for sanctions to be lifted, including the release of tens of billions of dollars which have been frozen and allowing iran to participate in the international economy again including banking, including access to international oil trades. we do think, however, that a key reaso

wendy sherman's replacement, tom shannon, was nominated on september 18. his nomination is on the floor today. we could vote on that this week if it was our pleasure. and so if we want in agreement to succeed, if we want to make sure that iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon, if we want to cut off the flow of funds from iran to places like hezbollah, then you actually have to have people in place who do those jobs. so i wanted to quickly come down to the floor and thank you for asking me the question, to make the point that in addition to, i think the important points that are being made by my colleagues about the success so far of the agreement with respect to implementation, if we all are hoping that the end result of this is despite the predictions of many republicans that iran doesn't obtain a nuclear weapon, then you have to have these people in these important roles. mrs. shaheen: would my colleague yield for another question briefly? because i didn't give a date that adam szubin was nominated. and that he has been before the banking committee. do you h

ernest moniz and under secretary wendy sherman for using america's diplomatic power to make the world a safer place. this diplomatic approach also avoids the significant costs and risks a military option would pose. one need only look at iraq to find out what military options cost. trillions of dollars, because of the worst foreign policy decision in the history of our country, the invasion of iraq. hundreds of thousands of people dead, millions have been displaced. thousands of americans are dead. tens of thousands badly wounded. the diplomatic approach avoids the, i repeat, costs and risks the nuclear option posed. no one, though, should think that all the components of the joint comprehensive plan of action have been completed. they haven't been. we're now at the beginning of a critical period where iran must allow unprecedented inspections, signed to allow international communities to know that if iran tries to break out and race toward building a nuclear weapon, we'll know about it. iran poses a threat to our nation's most supportive ally in the middle east, the state of israel.
