The president is right to keep all options, including military action, on the table while vigorously pursuing both international sanctions and a negotiated settlement that prevents Iran from gaining nuclear weapons... Pursuing these diplomatic and economic actions must continue while there is time.
Continue sanctions, diplomacy, and negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons while keeping all options on the table.

Assessments
Booker won the 2014 Senate race and, during the resulting term, supported the core components of the promise: he voted for Iran nuclear agreement review legislation, voted against efforts to block the Iran nuclear agreement and related sanctions relief, voted to extend Iran sanctions authority, and voted for later sanctions legislation including Iran-related provisions. The JCPOA negotiations and sanctions framework proceeded during the same Senate term, and Booker materially supported them through relevant Senate votes, so the promise was fulfilled in same-term federal office context.
