will limit the threat from a nuclear iran. >> today is a historic day. >> but it's an agreement that will further anger op opponents who say it is a dangerous mistake and iran foreign minister and eu policy official that announced the deal that was finally sealed after intense negotiations in the early hours of the morning. >> we are reaching an agreement that is not perfect for anybody but it is what we would accomplish and it's an important achievement for all of us. >> it is a decision that can open the way to a new chapter in international relations and show that diplomacy, coordination cooperation can overcome decades of tensions and confrontations. i think this is a sign of hope for the entire world and we will notice this is very much needed.

>> president obama was quick to react and making it clear if congress tries to block the deal he will act. >> i am confident this deal will meet the national security interests of the united states and our allies. so i will veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal. >> reporter: it's not clear if it was coordinated in advance but immediately after the u.s. president spoke his iranian counterpart followed suit and he hailed the deal as a new chapter between iran and the international community. >> translator: the implementation of this agreement is the beginning of a test. if it is implemented each step can put an end to miss trust. >> reporter: the focus will move across the atlantic and not just the u.s. congress but also to the u.n. security council which is expected to ratify the deal as early as next week. james base al jazeera, vienna.

james has been following all of the developments from vienna and sent us this update. >> reporter: the foreign ministers who are here, those that are party to the deal the seven foreign ministers of six countries that were negotiating with iran and iran all say they know what others are saying what the critics are saying about this deal but they say just look at the alternative, look at the last ten years of crisis between iran and the international community. it even came close to war remember during the bush administration. remember the persistent threats that have come from the israelis. so on the nuclear file they say this is an important deal that brings a peaceful future. and some say that it goes beyond the nuclear file and just listen to the words of the eu's foreign policy chief. >> i'm convinced the political will of the leadership is there to try to use this window of opportunity we have to build

trust in a constructive way. iran now has a historic opportunity to show constructive engagement and readiness to play positive role in the region it has been already the case in one important crisis in iraq months ago, almost one year ago and we worked together with iran to encourage the government to become inclusive and take everybody on board and that was an important step. iran has the potential to use its influence in the region in a way that conflicts can be solved and diplomatic and win over confrontation. >> attention now will move across the atlantic to the u.n. security council and we are hearing from new york that it is possible even that the u.n. security council might meet later this week to ratify this deal that is important because the sanctions measures the lifting of those sanctions, the

whole timeline of this has to be laid out in international law and the way to do that is to pass a u.n. security council measure lugs and many of the sanctions in the past were in u.n. security council resolutions and the only way to change past resolution is to pass a new one that super seeds it. >> let's go to washington d.c. and speak to patty at the white house and what is the next step now for the president? >> the president is going to get to work. white house saying his aids and the president is going to be on the phone and talking to politicians in congress and he started last night calling the leadership of house and senate and giving them a break down of the deal and perhaps more importantly he also called the former secretary of state hillary clinton and running for president and in a very powerful position at the lead democratic candidate and she came out and happened to be on capitol hill and endorsed the deal and could be key because what matters here is not getting republicans on board and many have come out and said they will do everything they can to stop the president

from lifting u.s. sanctions and what matters is the president's political party and needs enough of them on board he can not over ride a veto and if congress tries to stop this deal he will veto it. >> and i mean realistically what can congress do to try to prevent this going through? >> well, it what's been kind of confused here in washington people and senators saying they are going to kill the agreement and don't actually have the power and cannot stop the president going to the u.n. and lifting u.n. sanctions and cannot stop him from signing an agreement and they can stop him from lifting u.s. sanctions and the white house points out and says iran would walk away from a deal if the u.s. was to back out of it but if you look at sanctions relief from all over the globe that would be a pretty risky calculation on iran's part but says it would be a huge

embarrassment to the president and weaken the president of the united states and that is an argument resonating with several democratic senators. >> live in washington d.c. thank you. joined now with a lecturer on political economy at regent university and specializes in the middle east and iran and how much push back do you expect from iran on this? >> of course the deal has its supporters and its opponents. one of the most important facts about this deal is that the spureme leaders within the iranian political system has supported this since the beginning, it would have not reached to this stage if he did not give the green light so she

has expressed this in social media or addressing the nation unlike the president for example or the foreign minister. it would be very important what he would say would indicate how the deal is going to be perceived. we will accept some controversy for example within the parliament and trying to criticize some of the compromises that mohammad javad zarif and his team have made but overall as long as the support and the outcome of the deal i don't see any problems with the implementation going from here forward. >> seen that something could lead to a wider opening to the western world and not just about this particular deal that you could see a change in society any way. >> absolutely. this is the beginning of course this is one of the first assessments and this is a very important step nevertheless. we have an up coming parliamentary election next year

and with this success of the so called moderate camp within the political system in iran the moderate camp and quote, unquote reformists are going to gain a lot more popular support and they are going to have a much better chance in winning the elections in the parliament and of course the presidential elections from then on. >> there has been a certain amount of skepticism from neighbors and so how is iran going to try and kind of deal with its neighbors and in light of it will it change or stay the same like places like yemen or iraq and what impact do you think it will be regionally? >> the team has intentionally kept all the other issues especially the regional issues separate from the nuclear file. but this step, if it's combined with an ongoing diplomatic initiative which is going to

bring iran within the security structure of the region and if it is going to go between iran and its regional counterparts, it is going to be the beginning of regional cooperations. but at the moment, the immediate reaction of course from many of the regional powers including saudi arabia is quite a negative one. >> on the economic impact and there is some suggestion it could make a big difference with iran's company with boosting output and will people expect it to happen quickly and if not will they be disappointed or could you see an impact on the economy quickly. >> the most important impact is the psychological impact at this stage. as we have seen the iran stock market for example start to pick up since yesterday even though there was no deal yesterday we could see the psychological impact and the size of the market and is becoming hopeful and the sentiment is going to be

very strong and immediate and realistically and i'm speaking of sanctions lifting will take some time and in addition to that iran has a number of structural economic challenges that it needs to overcome corruption and miss management of the resources and allocation of the resources is something that needs to be combined with the sanctions lifting in order for people to see the effect. >> thank you very much for coming and talking to us. a deal has been strongly opposed by israel with prime minister benjamin netanyahu expressing dissatisfaction with a phone call to u.s. president barack obama and described it as a historic mistake as we report from west jerusalem. >> reporter: hours before iran's nuclear deal with powers was even formally announced israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu made a televised statement denouncing the agreement. >> this is a bad mistake of

historic proportions. >> reporter: he then made a second address later in the day after reviewing the deal and his criticisms were even more pointed. >> the world is a much more dangerous place today than it was yesterday. >> reporter: netanyahu is under increasing pressure by opposition politicians at home who blame him for failing to prevent the deal. they accuse the prime minister of straining ties with u.s. president barack obama which they say harmed israel's ability to influence the outcome. >> after ten years obama will not be the president, nobody know whose is going to be the president, probably two or three presidents will be in place in this period of time to what extent will they be committed with the nuclear and we don't know. >> west jerusalem israelis were nearly universal in their criticism of the nuclear deal. >> now they are going to get all this money and going to fund even more terrorism and it's

just made everything so bad. >> iran just like north korea cannot be trusted and i hope that the u.s. congress the house of representatives and the senate will go over this agreement very carefully. >> reporter: the united states congress has 60 days to review the agreement. netanyahu will likely use that time to pressure his political allies in the republican and democrat parties to reject it but president obama said he would veto any bill that would block the deal. the agreement between iran and global powers has achieved a rare show of political consensus here in israel and politicians from across the spectrum have criticized the deal saying any kind of iranian nuclear program poses a threat but with the core holding there is very little
