he is a typical white southerner and the story is the story of a child who comes home and confronts beliefs that she doesn't like. >> i want atticus to be atypical. mary charles, thank you so much. that's all for "the lead." i'm john berman. now over to wolf blitzer in "the situation room." happening now, done deal. the u.s. and its partners reach a long-term landmark agreement to contain iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting economic sanctions. will congress sign off on this historic report? angry allies america's closest middle east partners are blasting the deal with iran. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling it a historic mistake. i get more reaction from his spokesman this hour. on the run, a multimillion-dollar reward is now being offered for mexico's most notorious druglord after a stunning escape from a maximum security prison. is his glamorous wife part of the support network helping him hide? i'm wolf blitzer.

you're in "the situation room." relations between the united states and iran are poised to enter a new era after decades of hostility. western and the tehran government have reached an historic agreement to prevent iran's nuclear program from developing nuclear weapons. we're going live to vienna where the deal was struck after almost two years of grueling talks. we're going to hear from two top negotiators. we'll also get reaction from israel which strongly opposes the agreement and from the white house which is claiming victory. our correspondents and guests are standing by including the white house deputy national security adviser ben rhodes and the spokesman for the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, mark regev is standing by. but let's begin with jim sciutto who has more on the deal, the reaction and what happens next. jim?

>> reporter: wolf one of the lead iranian negotiators gave me his reaction just after the agreement and it was, it is done. just that exhaustion after marathon negotiating sessions but also remarkable progress 22 months after that legendary phone call now between president obama and the iranian president rouhani. ultimately though, this is an arms control agreement. it is not a disarmament agreement and it leaves iran with many capabilities that the deal's opponents are loath to accept. smiles and laughter to mark a historic agreement nearly two years in the making and ending more than three decades of hostility. the agreement reining in iran's nuclear program comes after 18 long-winded days of meetings in vienna the final stretch of 20 months of negotiations. the west and iran both immediately claimed victory. >> 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. >> today could have been the end of hope on this issue. but now we are starting a new chapter of hope. >> reporter: here's a breakdown. the deal curtails iran's nuclear program by cutting the number of centrifuges operating to make highly enriched uranium and limiting but not eliminating research on more advanced centrifuges capable of enriching uranium much faster. in theory this extends the estimated minimum time needed for iran to assemble a nuclear weapon to at least one year from the current two to three months. to help prevent cheating the deal also provides for more intrusive inspections of the entire nuclear supply chain, even tracking uranium from the time it leaves the mine. the international atomic energy agency in charge of the inspections signing an agreement with iran today. >> to be able to have a covert

path iran would actually need far more than one covert facility. it would need an entire covert supply chain. >> reporter: still the deal does not dismantle any of iran's nuclear facilities including the once secret underground military facility at fordo. and it eventually lifts a u.s. arms embargo that had prevented iran from acquireing inter intercontinental ballistic missiles. >> what a stunning historic mistake. >> reporter: and the deal faces a challenge in congress as well. >> it's continue hand a dangerous regime billions of dollars in sanctions relief while paving the way for a nuclear iran. >> reporter: secretary kerry took his critics head-on, touting the success so far of the interim agreement in freezing iran's nuclear program. >> man, were we told by skeptics

that we were making the mistake of a lifetime, that iran would never comply that this was a terrible agreement. but you know what, they were dead wrong. >> reporter: there are still some open questions, for instance instance, will the west be able to interview iranian scientists who may have worked on a weaponization program in the past. but it is the decided questions that are creating their own controversies, one the lifting of that conventional and ballistic missiles arms embargo and ultimately it is that the agreement itself sunsets after 15 years. this does not end the nuclear issue with iran. it buys time. it delays it. that's going to be a fundamental question not only for negotiators, for this administration for congress but also for president obama's legacy. >> jim sciutto reporting for us, thank you. let's get more on the reaction to the deal including the sharp criticism from some of washington's most important middle east allies. our senior international correspondent nic robertson is in vienna where the deal was struck. nic, explain how the deal is now being received.

>> reporter: wolf you would expect with a deal that's being cast as such an historic deal that the united states might be able to rely on its allies for more support this time. but indeed that's not turning out to be the case. some of the united states' biggest allies are turning out to be the biggest critics of this agreement and conversely those who are often the united states' adversaries are turning out to be some of the most supportive of this deal. >> because of this deal the international community will be able to verify that the islamic republic of iran will not develop a nuclear weapon. >> i believe this is a historic moment. >> reporter: some of the harshest reaction from u.s. allies some of the most supportive from adversaries. tonight, some of president obama's most important allies in the middle east aren't buying his claims that the iran nuclear deal will make the world safer.

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was quick to publicly criticize the agreement saying the lifting of sanctions rewards a terrorist regime. >> the world is a much more dangerous place today than it was yesterday. this cash bonanza will fuel iran's terrorism worldwide, its aggression in the region and its efforts to destroy israel which are ongoing. >> reporter: saudi arabia is no friend of israel but it's also not a friend of iran. the saudis also are condemning the nuclear agreement, describing it to cnn as a monumental historical miscalculation by the obama administration. some of the most positive reaction is coming from russia and china, two of the united states' most powerful adversaries. russian president vladimir putin says now the world can breathe a sigh of relief. russia and china will win big

financially from the deal that allows them to resume weapons sales to iran. so what happens with this deal now? well it's being turned into a draft u.n. resolution. but as you can see, from what we hear there, the u.n. security council comprising of china, russia germany, france britain, the united states leaving out germany there, of course the u.n. security council -- there's going to be if you will automatic support again from the people at the security council quite often who are the united states' strongest critics even vetoing what the united states is trying to achieve there, wolf. >> nic robertson in vienna for us covering this story, thank you. let's talk about all of this with the spokesman for the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, mark regev joins us from jerusalem. president obama had a conversation on the phone with the prime minister today. how did that conversation go?

>> obviously, wolf like all such conversations between leaders, i can't go into every detail. but i can say the following. we wanted to express our concerns about two important elements. the first element is we see this deal as allowing iran to maintain a massive nuclear infrastructure which in a decade or so can be used to make fuel for nuclear weapons. in fact they'll have such a large industrial nuclear base that they can make dozens if not hundreds of nuclear warheads. that's the first problem. the second problem is in the short term iran gets this influx of cash by the easing of the sanctions. and that money, i'd like to be able to tell you will be used for schools and roads in tehran. but it's our understanding and our assessment that that money will be used to finance terrorism, to finance their missile program, to finance iran's aggression in the region

in yemen, in syria and iraq in libya, in lebanon and in other places. in other words, we see iran coming out of this stronger, more aggressive and more extreme. >> so what are you going to do about that? >> speaking out against the deal. i'm speaking to you now. my prime minister's been stating our case. we think this is a historic mistake. and as your reporter before me said this is something that israel isn't alone. a lot of important arab countries in the region are speaking out against this deal too. and i would remind you, wolf when arab leaders and israeli leaders agree, it doesn't happen every day of the week and i think people should pay attention. it means something. >> the prime minister also said israel reserves the right to defend itself. does that mean that you consider the military option a strike against iran's nuclear program, still very much alive? >> look iran's hostility towards israel is documented.

they just say israel is a cancer that must be removed or that israel must be obliterated or israel must be destroyed. this is par for the course in the way the iranian regime expresses itself. and of course they're a threat to us. but it's also a threat to your country, wolf. just last weekend, the iranians were burning american and israeli flags in the streets of tehran. the so-called moderate president, rouhani, was leading a demonstration where people were shouting "death to america, death to israel." this is a country whose agenda is fundamentally hostile to my country and to yours. you've got to remember wolf in their warped world outlook, you are in america the big satan and we are the little satan. and unfortunately, this deal makes them stronger and will make them ultimately more dangerous. >> the president said today and i'm quoting, he said, the united

states will continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen israel's security efforts that go beyond what any american administration has done before. ash carter the u.s. secretary of defense, will be coming to israel next week. is that u.s. support for israel adequate, from your perspective? >> well we thank president obama and his team for all they've done over the years for israel. but we do have a serious and honest disagreement on this issue. we see this iranian deal as gravely endangering israel and the region. and it's a problem -- a serious problem because here you're taking a regime that is extreme, that is radical, that has in their own words a global mission to export their version of the islamic revolution and you're giving them atomic weapons, the capability to build those weapons in a decade and you're giving them a massive influx of

cash to finance their aggression and their terrorism. i'd remind you of two things -- just last month, the u.s. state department put out a report a documented report saying that iran remains a major sponsor of terrorism, if not the major state sponsor of terrorism on the planet. so you're taking a terrorist regime and they're edging closer to nuclear weapons and it's not being stopped. that's a problem. >> mark, i want you to stand by. i have more questions for you. and we're going to get reaction from the white house national deputy security adviser standing by live at the white house. much more when we come back.

back with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's spokesman, mark regev who's joining us live from jerusalem. you've expressed your concern on the two points the nuclear potential after a decade. the immediate concern that iran's going to get a lot more money to fund terrorists, like hezbollah and hamas. what do you do about that? >> we make our case. we think our arguments are good. we'll be trying to convince people that this deal is a mistake and that there need to be fundamental changes. ultimately no one more than israel has an interest in a diplomatic solution. but it must be a good solution a solution that actually blocks

iran's path to the bomb. and unfortunately we're seeing what we think is a repeat of the fiasco that was with north korea. then once again everyone was assured that this would be a victory for nonproliferation. that a rogue regime would be boarding to the mainstream that we would succeed in integrating north korea into the international community. and we all know what happened. north korea remains as problematic as ever and now they've got nuclear weapons. we don't want to make the same mistake again. and i'm afraid very much that this deal today in vienna repeats those mistakes. >> mark regev, the spokesman for the prime minister of israel thanks very much for joining us. i want to get a different perspective. let's get reaction from the white house right now. the deputy national security adviser to the president, ben rhodes, is joining us. ben, you heard what mark regev just said. give me your response. >> look wolf we believe that this deal clearly meets our

bottom lines in preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. there are very strict limitations on iran's program for the next ten years. they will significantly roll it back take out two-thirds of their centrifuges, convert their reactors. put limits on research and development that they can do and get rid of 98% of their stockpile of enriched uranium. that is by the way, a limitation that extends 15 years under this deal. so we believe that with the very comprehensive inspections and verification regime that we have we will be able to confirm and verify that iran cannot pursue a nuclear weapon. >> you heard mark regev suggest this would be another north korea deal. that didn't exactly work out the way the u.s. wanted 20 years ago. here's the question i guess, is this going to be another north korea deal or is this potentially an opening the door the way nixon did to china? >> this is a very different deal than the north korea deal, wolf. it is far more comprehensive. the inspections regime has 24/7

access to the declared nuclear facilities that iran has. it also looks at its entire supply chain for its nuclear program. the raw materials, the uranium mines and mills, the conversion facilities facilities, where they produce centrifuges. in order to cheat and break out and develop a covert nuclear weapon they would have to invent a supply chain. we'll have the ability to inspect where we need to inspect it, what and how. if we have inspections that they're cheating. it's a much more comprehensive inspection regime in place. >> during these two years of marathon negotiations did the u.s. ever ask iran to acknowledge israel's right to exist? >> wolf, that's our constant position. before this negotiation, during and after, we always insist that iran should recognize israel's right to exist, as should every country in the region which include many of the other arab states who have not yet taken that step. however, this deal dealt specifically with the nuclear program.

the reason why is everything that iran does in the region we share the israeli assessment that they support terrorism in the region that they're a destabilizing actor. but we believe an iran with a nuclear weapon would be far more dangerous. it could prompt a nuclear arms race in the region and give a nuclear umbrella to hezbollah activities. we're preventing them from getting a nuclear weapon even as we'll continue to confront other activities of iran's that we have strong objections to. >> it's not just the israelis but the saudis the emiratees, the egyptians, the kuwaitis. a lot of the sunni arab nations are concerned about this deal. i guess the question is this why are they wrong, the israelis and the moderate sunni arab leaders, and the u.s. is right? >> first of all, i think the president had good discussions at camp david with our gulf partners on this deal. they left feeling better about the deal but concerned about iran's activities in the region. we share those concerns and are going to work with them to

develop capabilities to counter those activities. but more broadly, we believe this deal clearly verifies our ability to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. and this is permanent in many respects. there's a permanent prohibition on iran developing a nuclear weapons program. their obligation to the international community extends beyond 15 years. they cannot develop a nuclear weapons program to weaponize their peaceful nuclear program and the inspections and transparency regime, that is permanent. even after 15 or 20 years, we'll have much broader access in iran to inspect suspected locations and see if they're cheating and to take action if necessary in that scenario. this deal is very strong in the limitations it imposes for 15 years and beyond that it's very strong in terms of having greater inspections and verification regime so we can make sure that iran is not violating its commitment to not pursue a nuclear weapon. >> if the speaker of the house, john boehner, says the deal is unacceptable, he's going to oppose it presumably. what happens if they override a

presidential veto and reject this deal, the house and the senate? >> well, let's be very clear, wolf. in a world with a deal iran takes out two-thirds of its centrifuges, gets rid of that stockpile, converts that reactor, in a world in which the deal is killed, there are no constraints on iran's nuclear program. they could just fire up the machine, advance their program, rebuild that stockpile, fuel that reactor to develop plutonium. there's a great risk if you kill this deal, you lose the constraints. we've seen iran pursue its nuclear program under sanctions in the past. but the second thing that's important is the international community is what made these sanctions bite. we got the cooperation of all these other countries to sanction iran. that's how we pressured them to the table and how we pressured them to make these concessions to get this good deal. if the united states blows up the deal not only do we think we'll lose all the benefits of the deal we'll likely lose the international buy-in for the sanctions coalition. why would the other countries that went along with the sanctions to get this good deal

go along with a sanctions regime after we've made clear that we're not going to accept the very deal that the sanctions brought about in the first place? >> four american citizens are being held by the iranians. is there any opportunity that as part of this deal they're going to get hundreds of billions of dollars, they will release these four americans? >> well we constantly have raised the case of the four americans with the iranian government. we want to see them released immediately. we did not draw a direct linkage to this deal for a simple reason. if we didn't get a deal we didn't want them to tied to whether or not there was a nuclear agreement. however, it would be the right thing for the iranian government to do to release these americans as soon as possible. that would send a very clear and positive signal. if they don't, we'll continue to very strongly oppose that action just as we're going to have issues with many other iranian policies that we object to. but in a world with a deal iran does not have a nuclear weapon and we can verify they cannot pursue a nuclear weapon that is worth doing. >> what do you think?

is this deal going to go through or are there enough votes to block it? >> well you heard the president make very clear that he would veto any legislation that would prevent the implementation of this deal. we believe that we'll have the support to uphold that commitment. we believe that we'll be making the case to as many members of congress as we can. we already see some strong support. leader pelosi early this morning put out a strong statement of support. we'll be briefing members. the president's spoken to leaders of congress. i might add secretary moniz is explain why this cuts off every pathway that iran has to a nuclear weapon and why we can verify they're keeping those commitments. that will be purr swasive to a lot of members of congress. >> ben rhodes thanks so much for joining us. iran's reaction is coming up. we'll hear directly from its top negotiator and we'll hear from the secretary of state john kerry. and we're learning the u.s.

a speechwriter for george w. bush. a lot of us remember the axis of evil comment. vali this is a victory, why? >> it's a victory for diplomacy and the objectives that president obama set out, which is try to limit iran's nuclear program, try to change the profile of its positioning on that issue. he has done that. also if if you look at the context in the middle east given the situation in that region creating some stability in u.s./iran relationship would benefit the united states. >> you think this potentially could be an opening the way nixon moved to china, eventually leading to normalization of relations? >> not in the short run. but this is the first crack. iran's never signed a deal with the united states. it has never recognized even sitting with the united states in a room. so they have passed certain

rubrik rubricons. confrontation at this point in time with iran would have complicated things further. >> you disagree? >> i don't think you can compare it with nixon going to china. he gave little and he got much. he enlisted china as part of the u.s.-led anti-soviet coalition, the concessions were minimal. and the gesture was overwhelmingly welcomed by america's global allies. this is a case where the united states is giving much and getting little and it's upending the whole structure of its alliance system in the middle east and alarming a lot of its allies in europe at the same time. >> isn't it better to test the iranians rather than going to war against the iranians? >> when someone's done a bad job, they will tell you, the only alternative to what i did was global thermonuclear war. but they should have negotiated from the beginning as if the united states had the power behind it that it really did. one of the puzzling things about this whole arrangement is that iran needs this deal desperately. its economy is in shambles.

at the time the negotiations started, the currency was in free fall. and yet throughout these negotiations it was the united states that acted as the desperate party. and this is going to be the debate inside the republican party. at this point, we have bad options. but a year and a half ago, we had much better options. and the administration negotiated weakly and got a weak out. >> quick response? >> this is more like negotiations between the united states and the soviet union. iran arms control than it is to opening china. you have to look at the nature of the transaction that we have done. secondly the deal is not necessarily that popular among iran's leaders either. they also have the same kind of concerns that you have in congress that yes, it was good to negotiate. but in the end, they may have not got enough and they have given a lot. look at the financial economic things. they're not going to get anything before a year. if they get a republican president in the white house, the deal may be off altogether. and so there's a lot of risk in it. it's not a given this is a total

victory -- >> all the republican presidential candidates have basically said this deal is not a good deal unacceptable, is the word rand paul used. david, you caused a stir with this serena williams tweet suggesting maybe she's on steroids. she's one of the greatest women tennis players ever. you deleted those tweets. what happened there? what were you thinking? >> no i put up two tweets that remain up that made the point i wanted to make. later on i had a conversation with a twitter follower. we had a fairly intense one. i took down the tweet and inadvertently allowed a couple of those to go public. i took those down. the two main tweets i revenued in "the new york times'" story saying there's something peculiar about serra williams' musculature, i left those up. on iran day, i want to say one more thing to vali. there's this analogy he raises between this and the soviet union negotiation. that is exactly the problem. the soviet union and the united

states negotiated as two superpowers. in this case it was a superpower negotiating with a completely broken economy. the united states should have kt aed like that instead of acted like it was an equal superpower that had a lot of options when it had so very few. >> go ahead. >> in terms of the structure of the deal it was -- this is an arms control deal. this is not really negotiations about opening up a country. iran is not ready to actually come out of the cold. in that sense, it's transactional. the question on what did the united states give and what did it get in return is something that's going to be debated here and similarly is going to be debated in iran. i think in both countries, you have unhappy camps who think they didn't get the best at the table. and the irony is that the congress actually has an exact parallel with the conservatives who think the iranian foreign minister and president basically gave up the whole nuclear program and what they're getting in return is conditional, congress may not approve it.

the republicans may throw it out. >> maybe you'd like to come back tomorrow and talk about serena a little -- i watched her play tennis. i'm going to a tennis match here in washington. i have seen no evidence all the tests that she's taken over the years, her sister venus, there's no evidence she's ever was on any steroids right? >> we'll save this for our tennis program someday. but on iran today, the thing to keep in mind is the united states has committed itself to something that is a grossly inequitable deal. >> maybe tomorrow we can talk more about tennis a lot more fun than iran nuclear negotiations. thanks for joining us. up next we'll hear from the secretary of state john kerry himself and iran's foreign minister javad zarif both spoke the cnn's christiane amanpour. if you have moderate to severe

after the announcement of today's nuclear deal with iran cnn's chief international correspondent christiane amanpour sat down with the two top negotiators. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry and the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif. christiane is joining us now live from vienna. you asked the secretary if this was a strategic realignment potentially to redefine the balance of power in the middle east. what did he tell you? >> reporter: well precisely i

did. because a lot of that's been bandied around by the obama administration. so i wanted to know whether they still thought that. this is what he said. >> we exclusively negotiated a nuclear deal because we knew that if we got into the other issues, you would never get to the nuclear deal. so an iran without a nuclear weapon christiane i think you know this as a matter of common sense, is better to deal with than an iran with one. for those who are worried about iran's behavior in the region we are better off pushing back or dealing with that behavior if they're not on a path to get one. and we believe we are clearly demonstrating a way in which they cannot get a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: so i also then talked to -- after that i talked to zarif. but meantime i talked to the head of the iaea who is tasked with verifying this deal. and he felt that they did actually have enough in the deal

and the agreements that would give them the kind of access they need to answer the outstanding questions about the past and also obviously to monitor very closely what happens going forward. >> christiane what did the foreign minister of iran mohammad javad zarif, tell you about why iran wanted to strike this deal especially with the west, especially with the united states right now? >> reporter: well, in general, as you know this has not been a zero sum game. it's not like one side got everything it wanted and the other side lost. all along, iran said it has to be a win-win solution. and the united states finally came to that realization. remember this all started under the george bush administration when he started the whole idea of equating limiting and curbing iran's nuclear program with an easing and a lifting of sanctions. well now it's actually happened under the obama administration. a lot of things happened in the interim. but it's happened.

and zarif has said of course what they wanted was, a, to be recognized as a legitimate nuclear program which this deal does and, b, to have the sanctions lifted but also to have broader implications. this is what he told me. >> we wanted to change the nature of our relationship with the west. we didn't believe it was good for iran and the west while we have common threats and common challenges in our region to be basically entrenching ourselves in a nonissue in an unnecessary crisis in a fabricated crisis that has been created for over the past almost decade or more. >> reporter: so he said fabricated issue and a noncrisis. a lot of the world doesn't believe it's a non-crisis. many many people european the americans, the israelis many
