Obama Boasts About ‘Most Effective Sanctions Ever’ on Iran

OBAMA: "The reason we have got such vigorous sanctions is because I, I and my administration put in place when I came in office international structure to have the most effective sanctions ever. And so I think it's fair to say that I know a little bit about sanctions since we set them up and made sure that we mobilize the entire international community so there weren't a lot of loopholes and really had bite. And the intention in setting up those sanctions always was to bring the Iranians to the table so we could resolve this issue peacefully. Because that is my preference. That's my preference because any armed conflict has cost to it. It's also my preference because the best way to assure a country doesn't have nuclear weapons is that they are making a decision not to have nuclear weapons and we are in a position to verify they don't have nuclear weapons."
