Obama: Iranian hardliners don’t represent all Iranians
Obama: “Just because hardliners chant death to America doesn’t mean that’s what all Iranians believe. Those hardliners have been opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus.”
“The majority of the Iranian people have powerful incentives to urge their government to move in another direction. We should offer them that chance, that opportunity.”
“It’s not guaranteed it will succeed. But if they take it, it will be good for Iran, for the United States, for a region that has known too much war.”
