>> with this deal we gain unprecedented, around the clock monitoring of nuclear facilities and the most sfwrusive inspection rezwreem ever negotiated. without a deal, those inspections go away, and we lose the ability to monitor iran's program and detect any covert nuclear weapons program. with this deal, if iran violates it's commitments, there will be real consequences. nuclear related sanctions that have helped to cripple the economy will snap back into place. >> iran's supreme leader has made some comments in the wake of the deal. he said some of the six negotiating partners are not trust worry and legal measures must be brought in. i talked to our correspondent. he told us how despite the deal the united states still considers iran to be a athlete to peace in the middle east.

relations, not a renewal of the diplomatic relationship with iran as might have been the case with cuba recently. this is very different he says. but in terms of the argument, it is pretty much the same we have heard from him and the white house since yesterday, that this deal is a good one because the alternative might have been an armed conflict with iran. it is a good deal for the white house because it keeps them from getting into a nuclear arms race. they say what this deals gives us is a lot of monitoring of the iran nuclear program, constant monitoring. this doesn't mean inspectors will be there all time, but the united states will have the possibility to take a very close look at whether iran cheats on the deal. >> philip reporting earlier. the french foreign minister will be one of the first foreign leaders to visit teheran following that agreement. he was one of the more
