for iran to sell off oil, cut off iran's financial system and severely limit iran's currency. the iranians finally admitted that the sanctions are hurting them badly, and they came to a settlement to curtail the nuclear program. as all of us know, the p5-s1 reached an interim agreement with iran end of november. and i want to commend you for your incredible personal efforts to conceal this. having said that, i want to make it clear that i have some serious reservations about the agreement. first and foremost, it seems to me at a minimum it should have required iran to suspend uranium enrichment as demanded by six separate u.n. security council resolutions. i don't think it's asking too much of iran to say that at least while we're talking, you stop enriching. for the six-month period while we're talking, iran, in my estimation, should not be enriching. and if they refuse to do that, again, going counter to six separate u.n. security council resolutions, it makes me wonder how serious they are and how sincere they are in terms of really wanting to negotiate in good faith. mr. s
