Question: let’s start right on israel. your administration has described prime minister netanyahu’s plans to address congress tomorrow on iran as destructive. what damage has really been done?
Answer: well, first of all, i think it’s important to realize the depth of the u.s.-israeli relationship. under my administration, billions of dollars have gone to support israel’s security, including the iron dome program that has protected them from missiles fired along their borders. the military intelligence cooperation is unprecedented and that’s not our estimation. that’s the estimation of the netanyahu government. and that bond is unbreakable. so we need to make clear from the outset how strong our alliance with israel is. the second point is that we actually share a goal, which is making sure iran does not have a nuclear weapon. that’s something that i committed to when i was still a senator. it is a solemn pledge i made before i was elected president and everything that i’ve done over the course of the last several years in relation to iran has been in pursuit of that policy. there is a substantial disagreement in terms of how to achieve that. and what it boils down to is what’s the best way to ensure that iran is not developing a nuclear weapon. prime minister netanyahu thinks that the best way to do that is either through doubling down on more sanctions or through military action, ensuring that iran has absolutely no enrichment capabilities whatsoever. and there’s no expert on iran or nuclear proliferation around the world that seriously thinks that iran is going to respond to additional sanctions by eliminating its nuclear program. what we’ve said from the start is by organizing a strong sanctions regime, what we can do is bring iran to the table. and by bringing iran to the table, force them to have a serious negotiation in which a) we are able to see exactly what’s going on inside of iran b) we’re able to create what we call a breakout period, a timeline where we know if they were to try to get a nuclear weapon it would take them a certain amount of time. and the deal that we’re trying to negotiate is to make sure that there’s at least a year between us seeing them try to get a nuclear weapon and them actually being able to obtain one. and as long as we’ve got that one-year breakout capacity, that ensures us that we can take military action to stop them if they were stop it. now, we’re still in the midst of negotiations. what i’ve said consistently is, we should let these negotiations play out. if, in fact, iran is agree, willing to agree to double-digit years of keeping their program where it is right now and, in fact, rolling back elements of it that currently exist.
