Hillary Clinton on Wednesday 19 March night said that she is “personally skeptical” of a final nuclear agreement with Iran.
In a speech in New York, Clinton said the odds that negotiators can reach a deal are slim.
“The odds of reaching that comprehensive agreement are not good,” Clinton said, according to The Washington Post.
“I am also personally skeptical that the Iranians would follow through and deliver. I have seen their behavior over years. But this is a development that is worth testing.”
She then went on to say if negotiations fail, the U.S. should explore all options.
“Let’s be clear,” Clinton said, “every other option does remain on the table.”
Clinton credited her own work as secretary of State with bringing Iran to the negotiating table.
Clinton’s comments came the same day a second round of nuclear negotiations wrapped up in Vienna, Austria, between the P5+1 and Iran.
Negotiators will continue the next set of talks next month in Vienna.
