$Occidental Petroleum(OXY.US)$ Senator Gillibrand said, “So, our negotiations for a new Iran deal are highly complex. We are hoping to forestall any militarization and nuclearization of their nuclear capabilities, in terms of putting a nuclear weapon on a missile, for example. And it’s a very precarious negotiation. Because Iran continues to fund terrorism, they continue to invest in their missile technology, they have continued to refine uranium, they have a great deal of stockpiles created over the last few years when we were outside of the agreement under President Trump. And so, as a consequence, it is not an easy negotiation. And I don’t think Russia is at the table in a legitimate or honest way. I think they are looking for ways to get around the sanctions against them. And I think they are looking for ways to have a market for their oil…..So, I think any negotiations with regard to an Iran deal will be quite difficult to accomplish in the near term.”
