We'd hope the President would focus on solving foreign policy problems for America instead of attacking his predecessors for theater.

3. State John Kerry:

   The only position we've taken is, let's not resolve this by unilateral action, let's resolve this through rule of law, through diplomacy, through negotiation, and we urge all nations to find a diplomatic solution rooted in international standards and rule of law.

4. Antony Blinken:

   The United States has been sincere and steadfast in pursuing a path of meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action( JCPOA).

Absent a change in course from Iran, we will continue to use our sanctions authorities to target exports of petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products from Iran.

5. Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni:

   I think that diplomacy made a little miracle with the nuclear deal, we need, now, perhaps a second one ... I think that Iran should be involved.
