has called mr rouhani say that let's take this opportunity to see something happen after ten years of these stalled talks the international community has been waiting for this opportunity president obama israel's the biggest ally with we know that he's also said that you know mr rouhani is speaking the right words by telling him to live up he's also been trying to hold the congress of from pushing on with more . run than we have the i.e. area who said that since august iran has not continued to expand its nuclear program so with all those in all those things in places all those leaders are looking further to see that this is a chance that a deal could be made it is up to israel now where we have to see how the talks go of course and if an agreement is made of will have to see how israel reacts to that . thank you now earlier we spoke to be a former french prime minister dominique de villepin he believes if a deal is not agreed upon israel could actually strike against iran in the very near future. the question is how much are we ready to take the risk to sign the agreement and i think

mr. rouhani. why this measures somewhat could help mr. uhani in obama's lack of kurdish and clarity will ultimately hurt the iranian president. in some, the historic window of opportunity has opened in u.s.-iran relations and there is a real chance that a reasonable deal could be released to the iranians nuclear. however, many forces remain to be convinced in many obstacles to be removed. if the bumpy road is to be traveled tours mutual beneficial destinations, the time has come for the conflicting parties to listen to the voice of reason and give peace a chance, by putting aside the maximum demand and the best interest. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, dr. amirahmadi. next before moving onto the panel discussion will be dr. kayvon afshari, president and ceo of time-honored.com. please welcome him. [applause] >> hi, excuse me. i am going to sit while speaking. with regard to the question, is this an opportunity or is this all cosmetic? i think i come down on the side that this is an opportunity. the first group of remarks all make is i

mr. rouhani move in this direction. i think those optimistic assessments have now been met to a certain extent. >> what does this realistically mean for iran for the people of iran? >> it offers the people of iran a chance to move away from the terrible situation that their government had gotten them in to. it offers them a chance to come clear and if a comprehensive agreement is reached in the next six months for the majority of the sanctions to be removed for the iran to be reintegrated into the international economy as well as the international community and for people to have a chance to grow and things like that. and prevent the economic meltdown which everybody is witnessing at this time. >> so, if that happens, if iran is brought back more into the international community and not so isolated, what does that mean for the rest of the region? >> well, i think what it means is it all depends, of course, we are talking about iran being reintegrated into the international community on the basis of the kind of approach

some kind of hope but then threw us a curve ball and said then dr no go ahead with it we know that mr rouhani has been contacted by the british prime minister david cameron saying that this is the time that that needs to happen we know russians are russia's president has also been quite vocal say it needs to happen now the deal is give it a chance not only that president obama has been trying to gather momentum from his side say this deal is a momentous deal if it happens and that congress must hold any kind of thought in trying to push forward for those for more sanctions against iran and the i.a.e.a. has also gone on to say that iran has halted any kind of activity since august so it'll be interesting to see how friends will vote this time and if israel indeed or what will israel do if indeed this deal does go ahead. so talks started more than a decade ago but hey deadlock in two thousand and five that's when on the dinner john becomes president and iran resumes uranium enrichment dousing the peaceful nation with intentions the u.n. security council approves the first round of sanctions aga

has called mr rouhani saying that let's take this opportunity to see something happen after ten years of these stalled talks there isn't obama he's also been trying to hold the congress of from pushing on with more sanctions against iran than we have the i.e. any who said that since august iran has not continued to expand its nuclear program it is up to israel now where we have to see how the talks go of course and if an agreement is made well we'll have to see how israel reacts to that and earlier i spoke to former french prime minister dominique de villepin he believes if a deal is not agreed israel could strike against iran rather soon. the question is how much are we ready to take the risk to sign the agreement and i think to assess the importance of this agreement we must understand that it is a process of course we are not going to get the final agreement from scratch on wednesday but we can surely deploy ourselves of an agreement with and into memory of agreement and then we can progress and have a final agreement that would be better so i think it's a chance and we should take

mr. rouhani, and that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from north carolina seek recognition? ms. foxx: i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. dawn, one of my constituents from lexington, wrote me a short email this week that everyone should hear. dawn writes, my individual health plan cancels january 1. what is being offered by healthcare.gov is triple the cost. i'm unemployed and desperately trying to keep health care until i reach 65 late next year. the president said if you like your health care plan, keep it. please do whatever you can to make that a reality and not another empty statement. we hear dawn loud and clear, mr. speaker. obamacare isn't living up to the president's promise, but this week we can change that. the house will vote friday to give the president a real opportun

israel what they call the how are you near the zionist entity and the leadership in iran including mr rouhani some years ago including mainly the supreme leader.

mr. rouhani is president of, these two levels of administration have two different views of international relations, relations with the u.s., with israel and so on. the group that now is in the forefront of this movement to sort of basically dismantle much of iran's nuclear program is obviously at the executive level not at the top. >> ambassador my final question for you is why is israel so outspoken against this? what does it have to gain by complaining at this point? >> well, i think it's had good reason to be nervous about iran. the statements out of the iranian leadership over the years have been very harsh, very hostile. personally i don't think iran ever had the intention to launch a war against israel, to shoot a bomb against israel -- >> despite what they said is it worth risking? >> i think it's important for israel to support testing pushing this initial agreement. the other road is so negative to which could well end up in autoregional war. we don't need it. israel doesn't need it. >> and our look at the week ahead, our thanks to ahmadi and ripped murphy. >>> public gatherings

mr. rouhani appointed his cabinet. mr. zarif spent most of his life in the united states.ll his press conferences english, stark contrast to the last nuclear negotiator who you could cut the tension between the western powers with a knife in the room. there was no communication. so the team appointed here is one that can read on the same page as americans and in the same language. alex. >> a fascinating details. thank you for the update. thank you, joe, for your time and answering questions on the fly. good luck with the book launch. >>> after the break, as americans observe veterans day, president obama honors u.s. service members at arlington national cemetery. there are those who stand apart. they step up. they raise their hands. they take that oath. they put on the uniform and they put their lives on the line. they do this so that the rest of us might live april country and a world that is safer, freer, and more just. >> we'll discuss the cost of war and a new film about the trials our troops face aafter they return from the battlefield just ahead. both maxwell and ted

mr. rouhani has them, as well. i've been pretty annoyingly negative on this subject for a long time.reement because the risks are worse. nobody wants to put themselves in a position where the only option to try to block iran's quest for a nuclear capacity is military force. i think there will be an agreement. the 3 5 plus one will sort out their differences. the israelis and americans will go through an extended drama on this, but at the end of the day, i think they'll reach an agreement, not ideal and still going to leave a lot of unhappy people. >> you have a new article you just posted, very long, among other things you say prime minister netanyahu of israel is far more invested in seeing a nuke free of iran, far more suspicious of iranian motives and worried about the consequences of a bad deal for israel. where is the division now between prime minister nettenia shoe and secretary kerry? >> there's a conceptual yao reality. where you stand in life is a function of where you sit. the israelis have very little margin for error on this one. we're living thousands of miles away, we

mr. rouhani became president. the first one took place at the end of september. it was a get to know each other meeting. the last meeting was a very political meeting. it was productive, and there was some positive development. the important thing, there was a change. there was some change of tone, yes. there has been a change of tone since the coming of president rouhani. iran and the iaea agreed to resolve all the present and past issues through cooperation and dialogue. iaea and iran are now working on the new proposal. we carried forward at the november meetings. by no means, it means the end of the process, and much more needs to be done. this is where we stand now. >> you say there was real progress made. you have several key demands. the problem is that a site which was once a container in the open now has a shed over it. they have asphalted over the ground. the question is, it will they finally let you go there. the other question which you differed from them, you wanted to be able to go back and ask questions at any time. iran once one file to be closed,

the what then by our deliberate reliance on our own potential arsenal iran has a new president mr hassen rouhani and the international community is hoping that now it will be able to negotiate with president rouhani comes as a new character for the united states as well do you sense that america is warming up to run or is it just a ploy. i think that having muley elected president who enjoys strong popular support inside iran and a sound international reputation. having a newly formed government to boot we can certainly speak of a new environment it was does look promising for resuming does many tracks including dialogue with the united states with regard to our nuclear program. do we have already had several meetings with the americans by a lateral format or as part of the five plus one negotiations. however we see that there are hardliners in the west including the us post seek to disrupt this new environment and undermine our relationship when i am in france but iran is always willing to pursue positive dialogue with the united states and the west in general. we are ready to move at whatever

man with his revolutionary guard and everything else, and then you have executive branch where mr hassan rouhani is president of and mr mohammad javad zarif is foreign minister of. the level of administration has two different views of international revelations with the u.s. with israel and so on. the group that is in the forefront of this movement to basically dismantle much of iran's nuclear program is obviously at the executive level, not at the top. >> my big question for you is they need to do more dismantling. do you think iran will do it, because it's a short-term deal? >> no, i think iran is looking for a symbolic nuclear technology, and enrichment process. as i said - remember this, iran has put billions and billions of dollars on - in this - you know facility. believe me, iran must have built is 100 bombs, each costing $5 billion plus. it's a huge one. they don't know what to do with the investment. >> i want to play sound from president president obama. he's obviously trying to cool temperatures, let's listen in. >> ultimately only diplomacy can bring about a durable solution to the c

i was in tehran helping the negotiation team headed by the then mr hassan rouhani - he was not the president. the agreement then implicitly acknowledged iran's right to enrich uranium, and we see a replication of that effort in the agreement that was signed yesterday, that on two occasions refers to iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy, and specifically right to enrich uranium. so, you know, if a country subjects to most stringent verification requirements, this agreement calls for daily inspection of iran's nuclear facilities - a severe cap on the level and dimensions and enrichment, putting a lot of centrifuges on standby meaning they'll spin out infusing gas into them. that is as good a barometer of nonproliferation as you can get. this agreement should be viewed and evaluated primarily from the standpoint of nonproliferation. does it meet the criteria of nonproliferation, it does. iran has agreed to take a lot of confidence building measures that increases the international communities confidence in the peaceful nature of iran's program. >> do you think in the long term, we have a lot

mr. kerry says it doesn't acknowledge their right to enrich uranium. this is an outcome of both sides spinning the narrative and the agreement in their favor. here is what president rouhanit by the iranian nation on the iranian soil. whatever interpretation, this right has been explicitly stipulated by the agreement. stressing that iran will go on with its enrichment program. for this reason, i announce to the iranian nation that iran's activities will proceed similar to the past as in the past. >> reporter: so both sides claiming that they got their way in using precisely the same language. both secretary of state kerry and rouhani, the iranian president saying you can interpret it how you want, but we got what we wanted. it's an indication of how complicated it is. both sides spinning it their way, cranking their pr machine. many iranians, despite having lost the ability to enrich uranium to 20%, they are happy they have taken the first step in easing the sanctions. >> you wonder if it's too cynical to think the ambiguity was orchestrated with this deal. reza in tehran with reaction. thank you. >>> still to come on "new day," a deadly winter storm pushing its way east.

mr dickie in paris. the hardliners in tehran want iranian enrichment to continue. the iran supreme leader - my question to you - is there a chance president hassan rouhani will be hamstrung by the stalks in this country? >> i don't think so. i think hassan rouhani has the support of the hardliners in this country right now. the crunch will come if he's on the verge of signing a deal. when everyone sees what is included. hard liners in iran have been in a good position. they could sit back and wait for the congress of the united states to screw up the deal, or wait for the french to step in and mess it up. if we get to the point where something is emmeant then we'll see where they stand. hassan rouhani has their confidence. he's a sad player within the political establishments. >> you are referring to the hard liners. the french president francis hollande. and the president in congress. they have been adamant about not loosening sanctions. what are the french holding out for, might very have the power to derail a deal. >> france has the power to derail a deal. you have the permanent members of the security council. there has to be consensus on the european and security co
