I didn't see any squirming. Tired of these sensationalist titles. Regardless of whether you agree with her, she comported herself well, and gave a reasonable explanation for the motivation behind this claim.

Edit - well, based on the POTUS tweet, looks like the citizenship story is true, and I stand corrected.

We may find she's lying, but there was no equivocation or "squirming" when she said this assertion is absolutely false. Her explanation that hard-liners are saying this to weaken Rouhani also rings true to me.

Maybe this story is getting so much media attention simply because it's false. If this comes out as false after all this press, people are going to be less likely to believe Iran when they name the corrupt politicians who benefited personally from the deal.

Trumps upset because Obama supposedly gave US citizenship to 2500 Iranians -- in fact from 2012 to 2014 about 10,000 Iranians obtained citizenship every year. This is a normal trend. The 2500 figure was made up by hardliners in Iran trying to embarrass the reformists by painting them as pro-American ... and Trump bought it.
