Frankly, that's one of the reasons why, after having tried to resolve this issue through negotiations and through a good and reasonable proposal from Russia, we're having to go to the Security Council.

The baseline is the same. Is Iran going to suspend enrichment activity? Is Iran going to return to the negotiations? Or is Iran going to continue, as we think they have, to stall and prevaricate and extend things in a meaningless way in order to avoid censure.

We waited too long to resolve this, ... Negotiations went sideways, and then up and down.

patterns or something in it to try to resolve this issue.

So the question is can we still live together and hold on to one another while we resolve this issue?

We have tried to keep up a good standard, but it's been hard.
