iran can be trusted to honor the accord. it comes when secretary of state john kerry will head to the gulf region to head to the six nation gulf cooperation council. he'll meet with senior officials including prime minister benjamin netanyahu. an outspoken critic of the deal. patty culhane has the story. >> at the end of the meeting the white house put out a statement that's saying both countries welcomed the joint plan of action, basically the iran deal. so the white house signaling they have the endorsement of saudi arabia. what we know is that the king of saudi arabia asked the president personally to take this meeting. they want to iron out the details. they want more than reassurances from the united states. they want publicly to help with interdiction, special training for their special forces and

also help the gcc as a whole build some mix system. that's what they've been publicly talking about. we don't know what the u.s. has promised to sell to saudi arabia and the other gulf countries. we should know in the next couple of weeks when the secretary of defense and secretary of state travel to the region. amesh aramesh joins us. how difficult is it going to be to sell the deal on both sides? >> you know the problem is enforcing and implementing this deal. on the one hand now we have a deal that the p-5 plus one that's the permanent members of the united nations security council plus germany have managed to actually reach with iran. the ufts made some concessions but at the same time got some significant concessions from the iranian side some of which were very hard for the iranian hard liners to concede. but enforcing this is going to be a whole different ballgame.

making sure that iran complies with its obligations that iran actually does open up its facilities that iran does allow inspections and most importantly that they don't violate the rules that have been set, in the draft document. and the disagreed document agreed document is going to be very difficult to enforce. the mechanism to a we can verify and later on we can trust. >> the saudi minister coming today, what is the real concern for saudi arabia? are they concerned that iran could one day surpass it as thement dominantthedominant force in the region. >> some could argue that iran has already surpassed saudi arabia as the dominant force in the region. if they have not been enemies they have been adversaries.

saudi arabia is concerned twofold, iran's nuclear ambitions no doubt but they are very worried about iran's expanding sphere of influence in the region. by lifting sanctions iran will be receiving if not trillions hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign investment into the economy. it's going to really lift up the iranian economy that had been under tremendous pressure because of international sanctions for past few years. iran is going to get about $100 billion of frozen assets from overseas. we all know iran has allies in the region most of them are in direct opposition to us. hezbollah in lebanon the shia in bahrain and so on, so forth. be probably iran is going to use a significant chunk of that to help its allies in the middle

east and the persian gulf and other places. >> i want you to see what's what happened in iran, repeated chants of death to america a conservative cleric there who was giving the prayers at tehran university. during the service he talked about the nuclear deal, he praised iranian negotiators for their deal, but he called them an insult and excessive. now we are seeing this, is this an indication that all with this deal is not gold? >> you know ayatollah friday prayer leader is a direct appointee of the office of the spreemsupreme leader, ayatollah khamenei. the person in charge of the judiciary, the person in charge of all course of apparatus in

the country is ayatollah ali khamenei. and he has been playing a very interesting two-sided game. on the one hand he is saying you know what he's not very optimistic of these talks, on the other hand, he never fawld shortfellshortly of supporting the negotiators. he could have said listen i wasn't for this to begin with you ask never trust the west especially the united states. but if talks turned out to go well he could always say listen i supported the negotiating team and i supported our sons and daughters and we got a good deal out of this. today we all know ayatollah karmani is ayatollah khamenei's surrogate, talking on his behalf. his statements were vetted by the office. at the same time the very same

guys who interrupted -- >> before you got so go i want to get to israel, i've got 20 seconds left. benjamin netanyahu sake this deal is miserable a historic mistake, how is this playing on the streets of tehran? again time is shorts. >> benjamin netanyahu is not popular on the streets of tehran. i wouldn't say iran is as a population anti-israel but my experience on social media and my experience with the public i've also been following and studying iranian politics for years i can tell you benjamin netanyahu is not exactly the most popular politician on the streets of tehran. people in iran are pretty happy they've gotten the deal, they are looking forward to sanction he relief and getting back to normal but iran has not been the most cooperative element in the region and we're hoping to change that over the course of

time. >> we are going to have to leave it there aresh aramesh thank you. greek prime minister alexis tsipras faceing a lot of controversy in his own country. dominic cain has the story. >> ordinarily the coalition government huge majority means legislation is easily passed but not this time. friday, was angela merkel's 61th birthday. but her thoughts were on the present, the rebellion among her own supporters. she sought to soothe the fears for those who did not want more money to go to grease.

parliamentary democracy that you all have organized. >> in wider society there is growing unease about germany's continuing commitment to greece. three quarters of germans do not trust current government in athens. that is a doubt clearly shared by 69 members of the ruling coalition. they failed to vote for this enabling proposal. but more than two-thirds of the bundestag did support it. now government will flesh out the deals of the bailout before bringing the ensuing document back for final approval. dominic cain, al jazeera berlin berlin >> the fbi looking into the background of the man who opened fire in tennessee. investigators say the gunman had three weapons and an extra vest for ammunition. they don't know why he did i.t.

months last year in jordan but investigators won't confirm that. if this is an i.s.i.l. inspired lone wolf attack it was just the kind that authorities have been worried about. >> losers to lions. it is the sort of young individual who is looking for something a cause greater than themselves. this ideology is winning. and we don't have the counter-snare tiff out -- counternarrative out there. it is a ideologic war that we're in. >> reporter: in this case there were apparently few red flags. abdulazeez's only prior run in with police occurred in april he was arrested for drunk driving and was to appear in court later this month. at this point no one implicated in the attack and word from the associated press that in 2003 abdulazeez tried to work for a nuclear power company in ohio. he worked there briefly but then
