But, what did he say that was new or unknown? Nothing new was said, nor did he offer any proposal (except to say "No"). In fact, he has never offered any proposal on Iran's nuclear program, except to wring his hands and basically leave the whole issue up to the US. As noted previously Iran, having learned form Israel's attack on the Iraqi nuclear reactor, has buried its program in deep-mountain tunnels that are not vulnerable to attack (even with nukes).

Whatever is negotiated and agreed to (between the US and Iran) may not be an ideal situation, but it is better than no agreement at all. With no agreement, Iran will be free to pursue its nuclear ambitions unencumbered by ANY restrictions or oversight.
