conseque consequential. the fact is this agreement could not have been reached without the decision of the iranian government to come to the table and negotiate. i want to say tonight that foreign minister zarif worked hard, deliberated hard and we are obviously, we believe better the decision was made to come here than not to and to work hard to reach an agreement. we thank the foreign minister for those efforts. together now we need to set about theof proving to the world what iran has said many times. that its program is peaceful.

with this first step we have created time and the space in order to be able to pursue a o comprehensive agreement that would finish the work that president obama began on the very first day in office. that is to ensure that iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. president obama worked intensively and his administration worked intensively before i even came in when i was in the congress and voted for sanctions. the president worked to put in place a significant sanctions regime, an unprecedented regime. he worked with countries around the world in order to ensure broad participation and support for these sanctions. we believe it's the sanctions

that have brought us to this negotiation and ultimately to the more significant negotiation to follow for a comprehensive agreement. make no mistakes, and i ask you, don't interpret that the sanctions were an end unto themselves. the goal was to always to have a negotiation. that is precisely what is now taking place and that negotiation's goal is to secure a strong and verifiable agreement that guarantees the peacefulness of iran's nuclear program. for more than four years the international community has been united in its willingness to negotiate in good faith. we have been crystal clear that we will do whatever is necessary in order to prevent iran from having a nuclear weapon.

we have also said that we prefer a peaceful solution. a peaceful path for iran to respond to the international community's concerns. as a result of those efforts, we took the first step today to move down that path. the measures that we have committed to will remain in place for six months. they will address the most you are urgent concerns about iran's nuclear program. i want to clearly outline what this first step entails. first, it locks the most critical components of a nuclear program into place and impedes progress in those critical components in a way that actually rolls back the stockpile of enriched uranium

and widens the length of time possible for break out. that makes people safer. with daily access we will gain daily access to key facilities. that will enable us to determine more quickly and with greater certainty than ever before that iran is complying. here is how we do that. iran has agreed to sustain to 5%. they have agreed to conditivert entire stockpile. that means where as iran today has about 200kilograms of 20% enriched uranium, they could readily be enriched toward a nuclear weapon.

in six months, iran will have zero. iran will not increase its stockpile of 3.5% over the next six months. it will not construct additional enrichment facilities. iran will not manufacture centrifuges amoother than those broken and need to be replaced. a facility that if became operational would provide iran to a path to ensure weapons. to ensure these are met, iran has agreed to submit its program to unprecedented monitoring. for the international community this first step will provide the

most far reaching insight and view of iran's program that the international community has ever had. this first step, let me be clear, this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrichment. no matter what comments are made it's not many this document. there's no right to enrich within the four corners of the ntp and this document does not do that. rather the scope and role of iran's enrichment as is set forth in the language within this document says that iran's peaceful nuclear program is subject to a negotiation and to mutual agreement. it can only be by mutual agreement that enrichment might or night not be able to be decided on in the course of

negotiations. what is on the other side of the ledger here? there's been a number of premature reports. in return for the significant steps that iran will, that i just listed, the international community will provide iran with relief that's limited and perhaps most importantly reversible. the main elements of this relief would hold iran's oil sales steady an to repatriot $4.2 billion from those sales. that would be destined to an overseas account. we will suspend certain

sanctions on imports of gold an precious metal. potentially vo viproviding iran about 1.5 billion additional. we will also facility humanitarian transactions. this channel will not provide iran to any new source of funds. we will help them in order to try to provide the people of iran with additional assistance. it improves access to goods that were never intended to be denied to the iranian people.

i want to emphasize the core sanctions architecture that president obama together with allies and friends around the world have put together. that core architecture remains firmly in place through these six months, including with respect to oil and financial services. to put this number in perfective during the six month phase the oil sanctions that will remain in place will continue to cause over 25 billion in lost revenues to iran or over 4 billion dollar a month. that's compared to what they earned before this took effect. while iran will get access to the 4.2 billion.

14 to 16 billion of its sales will be locked up and out of reach. together with our partners, we are committed to maintaining our commitment to vigorously enforcing the fast majority of the sanctions that are currently in place. let me repeat. this is only the first step. it's a first step that guarantees while you take the second step and move towards a comprehensive agreement, iran's fundamentals of its program are not able to progress. that is a critical first step, and i will say to all of you that as we conclude this first round of negotiations with the beginning of the possibility of much broader accomplishment down

the road. it's our responsibility to be as firmly committed to diplomacy. for the iranian government it's their responsibility to recognize this first phase was a simple test. many times iran, i think you heard the foreign minister reiterate stla a peaceful program. >> folks, it's not hard to prove peaceful intent if that's what you want to do. we are anxious to try to make certain that this deal will do exactly that. prove it. i will just say finally, i know that will are those who will

assert that this deal isn't perfect. they two bear a responsibility. that is to tell people what the better alternative is. some might way we should simply continue to i crease pressure. just turn up the screws. continue to push sanctions on. not by any interpretation that we have from automatic experts and all the countries, none of them believe that would be the outcome. instead we believe that while we're engaged in that effort, iran's program will march forward.

we believe that you would wind up with an iran with bigger stockpiles and more advance centrifuges and more progress at pursuing a plutonium track. in 1973, excuse me, in 2003 when the iranian's made an offer to the former administration with respect to their nuclear weapon. there were 164 centrifuges. that offer was not taken. people have a responsibility to make a judgment about this choice. i'm comfortable, as is president obama, that we have made the right choice for how you proceed to get a complete agreement.

moreover, making sanctions the sum total of our policy will not strengthen the international coalition that we have built in order to bring iran to the negotiating table. i instead it will weaken that coalition. others argue for military action as a first report. president obama and i do not share a belief that war is a permanent solution and should never be the first option. instead, that particular option involves enormous risks in many different ways and as president obama has often said while that option remains available to us and the president will not take it off the table, he believes

that can only be entertained after we have made every effort to resolve the dispute borrowing some immediate emergency that requires a different response. i close by saying to all of you that the singular objective that brought us to geneva remains our singular objective as we leave geneva. that is to ensure that iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. they don't intend to do this. the supreme leader has indicated there's a thought that provides them to do this. we want to see the process put in place by which all of that is proven not through words but with actions. we are prepared to work in good faith with mutual respect.

to work in a way as we did in the last days, cordially, with an atmosphere respectful as gwe go toward the process of making certain. we are absolutely resolute and in that mission we are committed and in that endevour we will do everything in our power to be able to succeed. on that note i'm happy to answer a couple of questions. >> the first question from the washington post. >> we have been watching listening to john kerry. we have our crew assembled here. they will continue to monitor the question and answer period. we want to start to digest some of what's been talked about. let's bring back in judith

miller, a fox news analyst. you're here by phone. >> i am. >> a couple of highlights. secretary kerry says the purpose of the sanctions was to get to the point where they would negotiate. i just want to bottom line this. it's late. people are staying up to watch this. if they don't do what they said they'd they'll do, what leverage do we have now? >> i think that's the most unfortunate part. the purpose of the sanctions is not to get to the negotiating table. the purpose is to get the iranians to give up an enrichment cape ability and giving up their desire to acquire a bomb. that's why secretary kerry was very quick to add very quickly this was just a first step that freezes the first part of the

program in place. i still think this is a very good deal. there may be a lot we don't know, and i may change my mind. what are the alternatives? is bombing iran really an option at this time? is president obama the kind of president that's going to do that after what we've seen in syria and his conduct elsewhere? no. military action is not only questionable in terms of advancing the greater goal of stopping the program, it won't buy you that much time, and this president isn't going to do it. a lot of these sanctions will remain in place. you heard the numbers. 14 to $16 billion worth of pain continue to be inflicted four to five, perhaps, six, seven on the outside. >> let me just cut in. i want to play devil's advocate

and it's not really a stretch to play it. we're talking about a country that's held our people hostage. they have an american in the country right now. i'm seeing so much on social media. i have questions about whether his name even came up. major general bob scales said probably didn't come up in negotiations. when you have a history of americans in harms way in that country, you have to start to wonder how did we get to the point we would give up so much. you say mayor broad sanctions still in place, why take any of them off the table at this point? >> because we've seen some progress. we've seen them do something they were unwilling to do even five years ago, right? they would not stop agreeing to put in new centrifuges. they said two years ago they were going to build ten new

centrifuge enrichment plants. they were building a plutonium plant. that's now frozen. i'm not saying this is the solution. it's not. this is a test of their intentions. the other thing to remember is, do you remember the last time iran suspended their program. let's take a look at history here. they suspended their program in 2003 only after america invaded iraq. they got frightened. they suspended the program. now they're suspending part of the program because the sanctions are hurting. i understand that people sigh, if the sanctions are hurting, let's keep them on. now they have begun to make the kind of concessions that we have demanded. another final point here in terms of winning, losing, remember this. this agreement, this is this temporary agreement is one in

which the americans and our allies are going to agree to disagree with the iranians. they say we reserve the right to enrich. we say no you don't. we don't agree to that. that's what the next six months are going to be about. can we get them to say, okay. we give up the right to enrich. if they do then this administration can claim credit. most people are skeptical about that. i'm skeptical about it. i want to see an alternative that's better than this. i continue to be struck when we first got on the air. in 2003 when i was in iran when iran suspended its program, 164 centrifuges were spinning. today there are 19,000. that's the reality. >> they've been busy. >> if we can stop that to buy

some time, maybe. the odds are still against it. we can do better than we have done in the past ten years. if not, they will wind up with a bomb. netanyahu will be right. >> i don't know if you were watching earlier, this is wider than what they will do inside that country. this has to do with setting in place a nuclear arms race within that region. you have to figure if iran will step back for a second, maybe some of these other countries can step up. your thoughts on that. >> i'm deeply worried about that. it's so important that everyone hopes these negotiations succeed. if they don't you're absolutely right. israel not having just one but a large arsenal of bombs. we'll have egypt ready to get a woman and saudia arabia.

>> i'm not that all worried about israel having it. the president did bring it up at one point. he said we remain firm on our commitment to our allies, particularly, israel and its four friends in the gulf. it's like and the rest on gilligan's island. he didn't single them out and talk directly to them. we don't know what kinds of discussions went on before this agreement was announced. i suspect they were very well well informed about what wads in this agreement. i don't think they are going to like it. at this point we have to say does even he have an alternative to this approach? i'm not sure he does. i was in israel in april. i got a sense they're very divided about how best to stop

iran. this is the toughest problem, the toughest national security challenge i've ever seen. everything tells us given our experience in north korea and other countries that it won't work. so far at least they've gotten to the first step and everybody keeps saying that first step. this now is the time to see what happens and to verify. i'm also encouraged by the expanded inspection because you remember in iran the inspectors were doing a much better job at finding things than we understood. this can work with sanctions and continued pressure. >> you have a lot of optimism. >> no, no. i'm not optimistic. i'm saying what is the alternative to all of this. what is it producing if we're now at 19,000 rolling centrifuges when we started at

164 ten years ago. let's give six more months a try. i don't see the argument against it. >> before i let you go because you know politics will creep back in everything. you mentioned the red line in syria. you said this is not a president who has the stomach, and i'm paraphrasing you a bit. to go forward with any military objection where iran is concerned any way. what he could do with syria if they used chemical weapons on their own. >> they did and he backed off the red line. does that give us a different place at the table in these negotiations? >> it does. frankly, i'm stunned that they got this puch given the lack of credibility of america since the syrian debackle.

it was a terrible blow to american credibility over seas. we were only rescued by vladmir putin. that's another reason to kind of embrace what we've gotten so far because frankly, i was even, i was very skeptical they would get this much given where american credibility is. >> all right. the american pastor serving eight years in prison. before i let you go, the bottom line for our people and particular for this pastor, this christian pastor, why wouldn't that be part of the conversation? can we wedge it in? maybe they talked about it and we don't know. >> one, we don't know.

two, we have to focus on it like a laser on what is of strategic vital interest tot united states. my hard pleaeart bleeds. our interest depends on stopping that program, and we've got to focus on those issues now. >> all right. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> we'll pray for the pastor. we'll learn more when we get up in the morning about this deal. >> thank you for joining us. to all of our fox news contributors who have been here for breaking news, we now return you to regularly scheduled programming. but a fresh sheet of bounty duratowel leaves this surface cleaner than a germy dishcloth. it's durable. and it's 3 times cleaner. so ditch your dishcloth and switch to bounty duratowel. to book this fabulous hotel. and it's 3 times cleaner. michael, tell us why you used priceline express deals
