historic as a mistake. how will that reflect on congress? we have this story completely covered. we'll do reporting as we wait for president obama to take the podium. let's begin with nic robertson live in vienna. we have the three minute warning for the president about to speak. what is the initial reaction from where you are? >> reporter: well obviously, some of the details we are going to learn here quickly as people begin to see this document. these are details we have been given under the embargo. it's been released. you know questions about could sanctions be snapped back on if iran doesn't comply? well there's going to be a commission that will oversee that. after 30 days if iran isn't seen to be within compliance then there's the possibility of snapping back on sanctions after 30 days, the joint commission would report to the u.n. security council and say there is a mechanism there that will
4:01 am
hold iran's feet to the fire if you will on this. also the additional protocols given the iaeu inspectors access to various sites across iran. 15 day deadline. any disagreement is critical too. >> nic,thank you very much. we are standing by for word of the president taking the podium. we believe it will be in moments. let's go to michelle kaczynski. she is down there covering the white house for us. what do we believe the thrust of the message is going to be other than echo its relevance as historic? >> we heard some of these points. this is the best way forward. this is going to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. that's what the white house has been saying for many many months now. it's almost a montra from the
4:02 am
white house. yes, iran has been a bad actor in many ways but that is the reason that the u.s. and other nations need to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapon. we expect the president to echo that without it being too much of a victory lap. he's going to be speaking at the exact same time as the iranian president. when you look at how they frame it as a victory for them sanctions are going to be lifted. investment will be able to pour into their country. the arms embargo is going to be lifted. well we expect to hear from the white house. some of those points are true. all of the restrictions that are going to be on them. yes, the arms embargo will be lifted from what we are understanding. that arms embargo will be lifted in five years time. we expect the president to
4:03 am
emphasize the level of monitoring. >> michelle, here he is. here is president obama. a comprehensive long-term deal with iran to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. this deal demonstrates that american diplomacy can bring real and meaningful change. change that makes the country and world safer and more secure. this is in line with a tradition of american leadership. it's now more than 50 years since president kennedy said let us never negotiate out of fear but never let us fear to negotiate. he was speaking about the need for discussions between the united states and soviet union that led to efforts to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons. in those days the risk was a catastrophic nuclear war between
4:04 am
two superpowers. in our time the risk is that nuclear weapons will spread to more and more countries, particularly in the middle east the most volatile region in our world. today, because america negotiated from a position of strength and principle, we have stopped the spread of nuclear weapons in this region. because of this deal the international community will be able to verify the islamic republic of iran will not develop a nuclear weapon. this deal meets every single one of the bottom lines we established when we achieved a framework earlier this spring. every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off. the inspection and transparency necessary to verify that objective will be put in place. because of this deal iran will not produce the highly enriched uranium and plutonium that give
4:05 am
the necessary to build a bomb. the machines necessary to produce highly enriched uranium for a bomb and store them under constant international supervision. iran will not use its advanced centrifuges for enriched uranium for the next decade. they will get rid of 98% of their eweuranium. they have a stockpile that could produce up to ten nuclear weapons. because of this deal it will be reduced to a fraction of what is required for a single weapon. this stockpile limitation will last for 15 years. because of this deal iran will modify the core of its reactor in iraq so it will not produce weapons grade plutonium and it has agreed to shift the spent fuel from the reactor out of the
4:06 am
country for the lifetime of the reactor for at least the next 15 years, iran will not build any new heavy water reactors. because of this deal we will for the first time be in a position to verify all of these commitments. that means this deal is not built on trust. it is built on verification. inspectors will have 24/7 access to iran's key nuclear facilities. iran will have access to their entire nuclear supply chain, the uranium mines and mills, conversion facility and the storage facilities. this ensures that iran will not be able to divert materials from known facilities to covert ones. some of these transparency measures will be in place for 25 years. because of this deal inspectors will be able to access any suspicious location put simply the organization responsible for
4:07 am
the inspections, the iaea will have access where necessary, when necessary. that arrangement is permanent. and the iaea has also reached an agreement with iran to get access it needs to complete its investigation into the possible military dimensions of iran's past nuclear research. finally, iran is prohibited from pursuing nuclear weapon under the nonproliferation treaty which provided the basis for the international community effort to provide pressure on iran. as they take steps to implement the deal they will receive relief of the sanctions put in place because of the nuclear program. both the american sanctions and those imposed by the security counsel. they will be phased in. over the course of the next decade iran must abide by the
4:08 am
deal before additional sanctions are lifted including five years for restrictions related to arms and eight years for restrictions related to ballistic missiles. all of this will be memorialized. if iran violates the deal all these sanctions will snap back into place. there's a very clear incentive for iran to follow through and there are very real consequences for a violation. that's the deal. it has the full backing of the international community. congress will have an opportunity to review the details. my administration provides extensive briefings on how this will move forward. as the american people and congress review the deal it will be important to consider the alternative. consider what happens in a world without this deal. without this deal there is no scenario where the world joins
4:09 am
us in sanctioning iran until it completely dismantles the nuclear program. nothing we know about the iranian government could capitulate under the pressure and the world would not support iran into submission. we put sanctions in place to get a diplomatic solution. that is what we have done. without this deal, no agreed upon limitations with the iran nuclear program. they can produce, operate and test more and more centrifuges. they could fuel plutonium for a bomb and we would not have the inspections that allow us to detect a nuclear weapons program. in other words, no deal means no lasting constraints on iran's nuclear program. such a scenario would make it more likely that other countries in the region would feel compels to have their own nuclear
4:10 am
programs. it would prevent the united states with fewer and less effective options to prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. i have been commander in chief six years now. it's the greatest decision any president has to make. many times, in multiple countries, i have decided to use force. i will never hesitate to do so when it is in our national security interest. i strongly believe that our national security interests now, depends upon preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. without a diplomatic resolution either i or a future u.s. president would face a decision about whether or not to allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon or to use our military to stop.
4:11 am
put simply no deal means a greater chance of more war in the middle east. moreover we give nothing up by testing whether or not this problem can be solved peacefully if in the worst case scenario iran violates the deal the same options available to me today, will be available to any u.s. president in the future. i have no doubt that ten or 15 years from now, the person who holds this office will be in a far stronger position with iran further away from a weapon and with the inspections and transparency that allows us to monitor the iranian program. for this reason i believe it would be irresponsible to walk away from this deal. but, on such a tough issue, it is important that the american people and their representatives in congress get a full opportunity to review the deal.
4:12 am
after all the details matter. we have had some of the finest nuclear scientists in the world working through those details. and we are dealing with a country, iran that has been a sworn adversary for over 35 years. so i welcome a robust debate in congress on this issue and i welcome scrutiny of the details of the agreement. but i will remind congress you don't make deals like this with your friends. we negotiated arms control agreements with the soviet union when they were committed to our destruction and those agreements ultimately made us safer. i am confident that this deal will meet the national security interest of the united states and our allies. so, i will veto any legislation that presents the successful implementation of this deal. we do not have to accept an inevitable spiral into conflict. we certainly shouldn't seek it.
4:13 am
precisely because the stakes are so high this is not the time for politics. tough talk from washington does not solve problems. hard nosed diplomacy, leadership that has united the world's major powers offers a more effective way of verifying iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon. that doesn't mean this will resolve all our differences with iran. we share the concerns expressed by many of our friends in the middle east including israel and the gulf states about iran's support for terrorism and the use of proxies to destabilize the region. that is why we are taking this step. it would be far more dangerous to our friends and the world. meanwhile, we will maintain our own sanctions related to iran's support for terrorism, the
4:14 am
ballistic program and human rights violation. we will continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen israel security efforts that go beyond what any administration has done before. we will continue the work we have done before at camp david to strengthen their capabilities to counter threats from iran or terrorist groups like isil. however, i believe we must continue to test whether or not this region which is known so much suffering, so much bloodshed, can move in a different direction. time and again, i have made clear to the iranian people that we will be open to engagement on the basis of mutual interest and mutual respect. our differences are real. the difficult history between the nations cannot be ignored. it is possible to change. the path of violence and rigid ideology a foreign policy based
4:15 am
on threats to attack your neighbors or eradicate israel, it's a dead end, a different path, one of tolerance and peaceful resolution and conflict. it leads to integration into the economy and engagement with the international community. the ability of the iranian people to prosper and thrive. this deal offers an opportunity to move in a new direction. we should seize it. we have come a long way to reach this point. decades of an iranian nuclear program, many years of sanctions and months of intensens. today, i want to thank the members of congress who help us put in place the sanctions that proved so effective as well as the country that is joined us in that effort. we want to thank our negotiating partners the united kingdom, france germany, russia and
4:16 am
china for our unity in this effort that showed the world can do remarkable things when we share a vision of peacefully addressing conflict. we showed what we can do when we do not split apart. finally, i want to thank the american negotiating team. we had a team of experts working for several weeks straight on this including our secretary of energy and i want to thank john kerry, our secretary of state, who began his service to this country more than four decades ago, when he put on our uniform and went off to war. he's now making this country safer through his commitment of strong personal american diplomacy. history shows that america must lead not just with our might, but with our principles. it shows we are stronger not when we are alone, but when we bring the world together. today's announcement marks one more chapter in this pursuit of
4:17 am
a safer, more helpful, more hopeful world. thank you. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> all right, we just heard from president obama. some high points here about why he says the deal is better. one, that it is better when we are together with the international community and when we deal with an opponent alone as the united states. two-thirds of the centrifuges will be removed and stored and under constant supervision. for ten years they can't make uranium. those are the headlines. >> something fascinating happened in iran. that is the first time they took president obama's speech live broadcast as it was happening. now, we will hear from the president of iran and his interpretation. it is translated into english, we believe. let's take a listen. >> translator: from what i have heard, many people have in their prayers, including in the
4:18 am
prayers pray for our team of nuclear negotiators so that we arrive at a good agreement. i announced to our dear nation that their prayers have come true. today, we are at a critical and important juncture in the history of our country and our revolution in light of the conditions of the region. these conditions to summarize, basically indicate that in the past 12 years, there have been
4:19 am
some imagined views by powers that were spread and that has been overturned and a new page has emerged. this new page -- >> all right, we are going to dip out as he is saying that he echo president obama's optimism. he is saying this is a new page and he hopes a lot of mischaracterizations about iran will be replaced by what they do going forward. >> interesting to hear his interpretation. they are both optimistic. it was interesting to hear how he phrases it and frames it in his country that there have been misconceptions and false views. today that ends. this iranian deal had huge stakes for president obama, his legacy was on the line in some ways. it will have impact for the more
4:20 am
than 20 candidates lining up to replace him in 2016. let's talk about the politics with cnns john king. he's going to take a deeper look. john so fascinating to hear the president. he made it sound like this was a slam dunk of a deal. it's basically unassailable but, of course, congress doesn't necessarily share his view on that. >> you are right, alisyn. not only the congress controlled by republicans, but by democrats as well. he thinks this is the biggest foreign policy achievement of his presidency. he made clear, he views it as history. it is foolish to walk away. it will make the world safer and the united states safer. he played the ronald reagan card talking to skeptics saying we sat down with the soviet union, but under the reagan years breakthrough arms control. you sit down with your enemies and you can make the world safer. the president understands. this is his biggest foreign
4:21 am
policy achievement and will be his toughest sell. congress has 60 days to vote up or down approval or disapproval. he made it clear. he says it's a good deal. walking away is a huge risk. if iran cheats we can go back to sanctions. can the president keep 34 members of his own party in the united states senate on his side? the expectation is at the moment the president says i will brief you. the president hopes to overcome the skepticism. watch what happens. most of the people in congress especially the leadership waited for the president to speak before they released public statement. watch the skepticism come out of the next several hours. you get a lot of republicans skepticism there. watch the democrats as well. >> john it's already bubbling up. i know you are hearing it. i'm hearing it here at the desk over the computer and e-mail and
4:22 am
social media. this deal is unacceptable. we should have tightened the screws. the political reality. walk us through it. they look at the deal. let's assume the worse. they say, we don't like it. they vote to put it down. the president vetoes that decision. they let's say get the two-thirds. i know that's police cal. say they get it. then what happens? >> that's a fascinating question if we get to that point. >> john sorry to interrupt you, we believe the secretary of state, john kerry is speaking. stand by. >> this has been a long couple of weeks for everybody, including, above all, the press, who waited long hours during the day for very little news. we are grateful for your patience. this is an historic day but, for me it's an historic day because it represents the first time in six weeks that i have worn a pair of shoes. today, in announcing a joint
4:23 am
comprehensive plan of action the united states our p5 plus one and partners in iran have taken a measurable step away from the prospect of nuclear proliferation towards transparency and cooperation. it is a step away from the speck tor of conflict and towards the possibility of peace. this moment has been a long time coming. we have worked very hard to get here. the resolution to this type of challenge never comes easily. not when the stakes are so high not when the issues are so technical and not when each decision effects global and regional security so directly. the fact is the agreement we have reached fully implemented
4:24 am
will bring insight and accountability to iran's nuclear program, not for a small number of years, but for the lifetime of that program. this is the good deal that we have sought. believe me had we been willing to settle for a lesser deal we would have finished this negotiation a long time ago. but, we were not. all of us not just the united states but france united kingdom, germany, russia china and the eu were determined to get this right. so we have been patient and i believe our persistence has paid off. a few months ago, we and aur international partners joined iran in announcing a series of parameters to serve as contours of a potential deal. experts and commentators were
4:25 am
in fact surprised by all we had achieved at that point. after three more months of long days and late nights i'm pleased to tell you that we have stayed true to those contours and we have now finally carved in the details. i want to be very clear, the parameters that we announced not only remained intact and formed the backbone of the agreement we reached today but through the detail they have been amplified in ways that make this agreement even stronger. that includes the sizable reduction of iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and the number of centrifuges it operates. it also guarantees iran's breakout time the time it would take for iran to speed up its enrichment and produce enough material for one nuclear weapon.
4:26 am
that time will increase to at least one year for a period of at least ten years. and contrary to the assertions of some this agreement has no sunset. it doesn't terminate. it will be implemented in phases beginning within 90 days of the u.n. security counsel endorsing the deal and some of the provisions are in place for ten years, others for 15 years, others for 25 years. and certain provisions including many transparency measures and provisions on nuclear work will stay in place permanently. most importantly, this agreement addresses iran's potential pathways to thistle material for a bomb exactly as we said it
4:27 am
would with appropriate limitations and transparency in order to ensure the world of the peaceful nature of iran's nuclear program. let me explain exactly how it will accomplish that goal. to start, the participants have agreed iran will not produce or acquire either highly enriched uranium or weapons grade plutonium for at least the next 15 years and iran declares a longer period of intent. iran's total stockpile of enriched uranium, which today is equivalent to 12,000 kilograms of uf-6 will be capped at just 300 kilograms for the next 15 years. an essential component of expanding our breakout time. two-thirds of iran's centrifuges will be removed from nuclear
4:28 am
facilities along with the infrastructure that supports them. once they are removed, the centrifuges will be -- and the infrastructure by the way, will be locked away and around the clock monitoring by the international atomic energy agency. uranium enrichment will be scaled down significantly. for the next 15 years, no uranium will be enriched beyond 3.67%. to put that in context, this is a level that is appropriate for civilian nuclear power and research but well below anything that could be used possibly for a weapon. for the next ten years, iran agreed to only use its first generation centrifuges in order to enrich uranium. they agreed to disconnect
4:29 am
centrifuges. those installed will be closely monitored rnd program and none will be used to produce enriched ewe rain numb. iran has also agreed to stop enriching uranium for the next 16 years. it will not even use or store thistle material on the site during that time. instead, it will be transformed into a nuclear physics and technology research center. it will be used for example, to produce isotopes for cancer treatment and subject todayly inspection. and it will have other nations working in unison with the iranians within that technology center. so when the deal is implemented, the two uranium paths iran has toward thistle material for a weapon will be closed off. the same is true for the
4:30 am
plutonium path. we have agreed iran's heavy water reactor will be rebuilt based on a final design that the united states and international partners will approve so that it will only be used for peaceful purposes. and iran will not build a heavy water reactor or reprocess fuel from the existing reactors for at least 15 years. but, this agreement is not only about what happens to iran's declared facilities. the deal we have reached also gives us the greatest assurance we have had that iran will not pursue a weapon covertly. not only will inspectors be able to access iran's declared facilities daily, but they will also have access to the entire supply chain that supports iran's nuclear program from start to finish from uranium
4:31 am
mines to centrifuge manufacturing and operation. so what this means is in fact that to be able to have a covert path iran would need far more than one covert facility. it would need an entire covert supply chain in order to feed into that site and to ensure that that does not happen without our knowledge, under this deal inspectors would be able to gain access to any location the iaea and the majority of the p5 plus one nations deem suspicious. it is no secret the iaea has long standing questions about the military dimensions of iran's nuclear program. that is one of the primary reasons we are even here today and we and our partners made clear throughout the
4:32 am
negotiations iran would need to satisfy the iaea on this as part of the final deal. with that in mind, iran and the iaea have already entered into an agreement on the process to address all of the iaea's outstanding questions within three months and doing so is a fundamental requirement for sanctions relief that iran seeks. the director announced earlier this morning that agreement has been signed. now, -- our quarrel has never been with the iranian people. we realize how deeply the nuclear related sanctions affected the lives of iranians. thanks to the agreement reached
4:33 am
today that will begin to change. in return for the dramatic changes that iran has accepted for its nuclear program, the international community will be lifting the nuclear related sanctions on iran's economy. the relief from sanctions will only start when tehran has met their key initial nuclear commitments. for example, when it has removed the core from the iraq reactor. when it has dismantled the centrifuges it agreed to dismantle. when it shipped out the enriched uranium it agreed to ship out. when these and other commitments are met, the sanctions relief will begin to be implemented in phases. the reason for that is simple confidence is never built overnight. it has to be developed over time. this morning, foreign minister
4:34 am
zarif expressed his hope that this agreement could be a beginning of a change of the interactions between iran and the international community. >> we have been listening there to secretary of state, john kerry spell out what he has been working on these past many weeks and months. he made a joke, this is the first time he's worn shoes in six weeks because he was working around the clock and he's been injured. he spelled out in detail what to expect. he and the president said it is the best deal they could have got. the show for his authority and commitment to the process, he was there the last critical 18 days. iran's chief negotiator kept going back and forth to tehran either for -- laying out how many things will be changed in the favor of reducing iran's
4:35 am
ability, not just to make a nuclear weapon but to make enriched uranium at all and there wasn't a better alternative. >> we will spell out all the details for you in a moment. the nuclear agreement with iran has happened. if you are just joining us not everyone is in favor of the deal. we will have the first reaction from the israeli government for you after this break. when broker chris hill stays at laquinta he fires up the free wifi with a network that's now up to 5 times faster than before! so he can rapidly prepare his presentation. and when he perfects his pitch, do you know what chris can do? and that is my recommendation. let's see if he's ready. he can swim with the sharks! he's ready. la quinta inns & suites take care of you, so you can take care of business. book your next stay at lq.com! la quinta! ♪ color is a beautiful thing, i know, i know... ♪ ♪ color is a beautiful thing, i know, oh yes i know... ♪

4:37 am
4:38 am
negotiations. not everybody is singing the praises of the deal. america's big es ally in the middle east, israel is feeling betrayed saying this is historic but a mistake. let's get that perspective. we have a minister in the netanyahu government. thank you for being with us. your reaction? >> this deal is a mistake of historic proportions. effectively, it paves the way for iran to become a terror nuclear superpower. it's a matter of time. it might not happen tomorrow but it will happen. what we are doing, in effect we are going to be funneling, the world is going to be funneling half a trillion dollars, $500 billion to the world's biggest exporter of terror. it is going to legitimate iran's quest for nuclear power and, in effect all the promises we have heard over the past year that embargo would not be lifted.
4:39 am
well the embargo is lifted on missiles. we have heard there would be anytime anywhere sanctions. it's not anytime, anywhere sanctions. we know that when the west wants to inspect something, it will have to be a very cup ber some process for iran to hide activities activities. this is a terrible deal. we hope it's still the small chance of it being finalized and approved will not happen. in any case israel is prepared for any eventuality. >> in terms of what is being offered in the deal to counter act your concerns is one, the current condition, that iran has been able to create this impressive framework and structure for making enriched uranium and weapons under sanctions. they did this under sanctions which seemed to suggest the
4:40 am
sanctions weren't getting the job done. is there a better alternative in place? >> absolutely. we were just at the point where the sanctions were becoming crippling. iran was on the floor, if you think of a boxing match and the referee was counting down from ten to one. at the very last moment the west came up and helped iran on its legs. we have to understand iran's goal was not to i quire a nuclear weapon today, it was to acquire one tomorrow down the road. they had a choice of either having a good economy or going down the nuclear weapon route. now they have both. as long as the sanctions were in place, they wouldn't have broken out. they don't want to do that they know what would happen to iran. we are going to see hundreds of billions of dollars go into iran
4:41 am
to strengthen hezbollah and terrorists around the world. there's only two states in the world that send deployed troops in measurable scales abroad that's america in the quest of freedom and iran in the quest of terror. now, they were on the floor, we basically lifted them up and we are saying take the money. down the road you can also have a bomb. >> what happen ifs the iranian parliament okays the deal and the u.s. congress, as you well know they only have the leverage of not removing the sanctions congress has in place. they are not going to be able to kill this deal you know on its face. if it goes through and becomes active what will israel do? >> well the world is becoming a new place. this is a new era, a new dark and sinister era for the world. we have to understand this. 20 years down if nuclear bomb
4:42 am
explodes in london or new york we'll know we can trace it down to july 14th 2015. israel always said we will prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. we will still do that. we are preparing for everything we need to do to defend ourselves. >> what does that mean? you know the inspections are in place. that's the best mechanism you have for checking what they do in iran. what could israel do that is not part of the deal to keep iran from getting a bomb? >> well first of all, we are not giving up and hopefully stemming the relief of the sanctions. that's been the single thing that has been effective over the past 15 years. these sanctions finally were hurting, especially the financial system related sanctions and we hope they will not be relieved.
4:43 am
on other dimensions of what we might do i certainly don't intend to share plans with iran. >> all right, mr. bennett, thank you for gives us a vouzice from the israeli government. appreciate you being on cnn and "new day." alisyn? >> okay chris, we have much more ahead. does the deal legitimize iran's support of terror as we heard or is it a needed step forward? we'll get a perspective from a top middle east expert. that's next. i already feel like we're the most connected but i think this solo date will seal the deal. sure! i offer multi-car, safe driver, and so many other discounts that people think i'm a big deal. and boy, are they right. ladies, i can share hundreds in savings with all of you! just visit progressive.com today. but right now, it's choosing time. ooh! we have a winner. all: what?

4:47 am
we have breaking news world powers agreeing to a deal with iran. president obama speaking moments ago saying the deal will keep the world safer, but the israelis saying the deal is a disaster. which is it? we have a distinguished scholar from the woodrow wilson international center. great to see you this morning. we just heard how pleased the president sounds secretary kerry sounds and president of iran sounds. what do you think of this deal?
4:48 am
>> i have spun my fair share of good and bad agreements. i understand exactly what's happening. let me make a few basic points alisyn. whether you are a friend or foe of this, our policy toward iran hanz containment and confrontation. it will now be cooperation. the agreement is going to because of complexity and the degree of cooperation it imposes, the u.s. and iran are going to be cooperating in an effort to implement this agreement. >> you think that's a good thing? >> well i think it's a new thing, all right? number two, this is neither the historic catastrophe the critics portray or what was implicit in some of the president's and kerry's remarks. this is a transaction, a business deal. in exchange for lifting billions of dollars in sanctions and
4:49 am
hanging an open for business sign in tehran the united states will get transparent, more easily contained iranian nuclear program, probably for the next decade. but this is not a disarmament agreement, it's an arms control agreement. i would argue on balance even though the president got a lot, i think the mullahs did one better. in exchange for a weapon they don't have and a decision they haven't even made you're going to empower the leadership in tehran and still leave them with enough of an infrastructure should they choose to sneak out, break out in an effort to weaponize. so yes, we kicked the can down
4:50 am
the road. we diffused a crisis but we certainly have not capped or put an end to iranian nuclear aspirations. and if you add to the fact that this money, even though the price of oil will drop dramatically a dollar in tehran doesn't buy as much as it bought a decade ago. life is relative. they're going to have plenty of money to spread around to their supporters unless the character of the regime somehow begins to alter at home. and remember they're holding four americans without any justification or cause. and if they begin to cooperate with us in the region then i think the obama review of this will gain more correct. >> you can tell us what bothers you about these. he said inspectors will have 24-7 access to iran's key
4:51 am
nuclear facilities. he also said they'll get rid of 98% of their enriched uranium stockpile stockpile. the stockpile will last for 15 years. if iran violates the deal all sanctions will snap back into place. which ones do you take issue with? >> i suppose all of them if implements. we've moved from any time anywhere inspections to where necessary. that change in language and the process and the committee that has been set up to deal with this issue is going to become problematic. look i'm not arguing that this deal is a catastrophe. all i'm suggesting is we have to be real about what it is we've done. we are going to get a smaller, slower more contained nuclear
