Kerry: The Deal Wasn’t Intended To Solve All Our Problems with Iran

‘President Obama made a fundamental decision, Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon’

KERRY: "And they do call us the great Satan.  But this deal wasn't intended to solve all of our problems with Iran. President Obama made a fundamental decision. Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. Why? Because an Iran with a nuclear weapon, is obviously a lot harder to deal with an than an Iran without one. And because we don't want nuclear weapons spreading throughout the region or anywhere, for that matter. So the first objective was to deal with the nuclear weapon. And we had a very targeted disciplined effort here where we did not get sidetracked. As some people think we should have. And there is some criticism of us for that."
