we've got an iran that already has labs and centerfuges, how does that work? >> that's what we're going to find out, i think. people have made a lot of comparisons with iraq, and as you point out you used the verb submit themselves to inspections. that's a key point. in the case of iraq, they were cowered into it. they fought a war and lost and had draconian rules placed on it. in iran, they're coming in voluntaryily, albeit the threat of sanctions, the question going forward, will they continue to submit to these inspections, and will the sanctions be released automatically, or will they be able to be reimposed. the role of the inspectors is going to be tough because they have to make judgments that the political parties are not going to be willing to make themselves. they'll look for an independent body, which the inspectors will be, to make judgments about whether they think the iranian s are compliant. underlying all of that, what authorities, access and arrangements will be place in details of ensuing agreement. >> one of the things that they have gone ba

we lost so many centerfuges. we changed the location of our nuclear sites. so they will have the upper hand and they will win the next round of elections. but for the time being it is just a speculation. the government says that we will implement the details and the terms and continues of the deal as long as the americans also stick to their own end of the bargain. so we have to wait and see. for the time being people are celebrating. i think that this is more than just a nuclear agreement. it is also some kind of engagement reengagement with the united states. we should not be surprised if we her that america and iran have already started normalizing this is about nuclear program we mighten concerned about not implementing it. but we should only be concerned if there is no normalization of ties between these two hostile nations. >> that leads me to my next question. do you see a wideer grand bargain between the u.s. and iran? >> excellent point. celebrity point. the reason why we have the deal now is because iran and the united states directly or indirectly

they know how to build a centerfuge. you can't bomb that knowledge out of their head. they have a basic capability. but he goes on to say that iran has not made a decision whether to pursue nuclear weapons. they have not made the political decision which in my study in the nuclear age that's what is critical when a country says i want t and they make it a political priority. >> let me ask you that question then you dealt with the highest level of iranians. they insist that they don't want to bomb. do you believe them? >> i believe in the dni. i don't believe everything that the iranians tell me. i prefer actions rather than words. but i believe the director of national intelligence when he says they have not made a decision yet. now is the time to lock them in, right? if they've already decided to go for the bomb, there is not a lot you can do with that. if pakistan can get a bomb, if north korea can get a bomb, if iran were determined to do it, they would do it. but they haven't decided which is why now is a really great time for diplomacy if you can get them on anoth

this would apply to manufacturing facilities that supply centerfuges, to make sure that they're not building a covert program. it boo include regular access to the universal facilities that iran already has. this is why we can be sure that from beginning to end we can have a very detailed understanding of exactly what iran's nuclear program looks like and ensure that it is not being used to build a nuclear weapon and only used in peaceful purposes. >> when it comes to sanctions would you clarify how the lifting of sanctions has worked? how has that been worked out. will the u.s. sanction simply sees? >> the president was very clear. the president was clear what we envision is a phased relaxing of sanctions. we need to see iran in a sustained commitment to living up to the terms of this agreement before we take away the sanctions. >> israeli prime minister netanyahu said that this deal would pose a grave danger to the region and the world. critics say this will only empower iran, besides threats to israel is backing houthis in yemen and bashar al-assad. >> we continue to have a long list of c

it includes centerfuge with iran wanting to continue research on machines to enrich uranian and restrictionsssile program which iran refuses to discuss and then there are crippling sanctions over the nuclear program and wants all sanctions lifted immediately and u.s. argued for a gradual easing. a deal is likely to see activities restricted for ten years after that they want it removed and the countries they are negotiating with are not so sure and simon mc-greger woods is next where the talks are taking place. >> reporter: it's clear the talks which stretched from late tuesday and well into the early hours of wednesday morning have made progress on a number of key issues. but it's not clear there has been enough progress for a full framework agreement. leaving the talks the iran foreign minister spoke of his optimism. >> we have been working since 7:30 in the morning and it's been a very long day for all delegations and we have accomplished quite a bit but people need to get some rest and start over early in the morning. i hope that we can finalize the work on wednesday and hopefully start

this would apply to centerfuges that are included in iran's nuclear facilities to make sure that they're not building a covert program. and it would require regular access to facilities that iran already has and this is why we can be sure from beginning to end we can have a detailed understanding of what iran's nuclear program looks like, and ensure that it is in the being used to mr. a nuclear we will and is only being used to peaceful purposes. >> would you clarify how the lifting of sanctions work? will they be gradually lifted or as foreign minister zarif tweeted out yesterdays, will the u.s. sanctions simply cease? >> the president was clear by the phased relaxing of sanctions. it goes back to my previous question. we need to see iran demonstrate to living up to this agreement before we take away the sanctions. >> israeli president "n said that this deal with a pose a great dane to the world. they say this will only empower iran which despite threatening israel it's backing rebels in yemen and bashar al-assad. how does this agreement with iran fit into the president's larger strateg

they're thought to include centerfuges with iran wanting to continue research on the machines which help to enrich uranium. sticking points remain for restrictions on iran's missile program which iran refuses to discuss. then there are crippling sanctions imposed over iran's nuclear program. iran wants all all sanctions lifted immediately. the u.s. wants a gradual easing. and iran will see its nuclear activities restricted for ten years and then after all they want all restrictions removed. the countries it is negotiating with are not share. >> it's clear that the talks in lausanne would stretch from late tuesday well into the early hours of wednesday morning have made progress on a number of key issues. but it's not clear that there has been enough progress for a full framework agreement. leaving the talks the iranian foreign minister spoke of his optimism. >> we've been working since 7:30 in the morning and it's been a very long day for all delegation delegations. we have accomplished quite a bit, but people need to get some rest and start over early in the morning. i hope that we can

also expressed concerns about details in the agreement about research and development on iran's centerfuges. they seem quite confident this deal will go through despite hard lined voices in the country saying this is a bad deal. a group of hard liners gathered outside parliament today while he was answering questions saying that the deal was detrimental for iran's progress in the future for its economy and for its standing in the world. having said all of that the country is getting ready for foreign investment. european investors desperate to get back into iran. >> thank you for that. meanwhile president obama continues to fend off criticism at home and abroad. he called for sweeping changes to the nuclear deal over the weekend. this as they press for a vote on capital hill once an agreement is finalized. the legislation would block the white house from lifting sanctions during a 60 day congressional review. hadley joins us with more. behind this bill is bob corker from tennessee but he still needs votes to push ahead with this and some democrats find this deal a little better than they pr

moreover, when you look at the iran nuclear program the growth and the number of centerfuges, the equipment used to spin -- >> ready to roll. >>> this business meeting for the senate foreign relations meeting will -- committee will come to order. the only order of of business today is s-615, the iran nuclear agreement review act of 2015. and that bill is the pending business of the committee. i want to start by thanking all of the members of the committee for the tremendous amount of work been done over several months. to et get us to the place we are. and in any piece of legislation obviously there are things that members would like to see different. but i think we've reached a balance here that is very, very appropriate. i want to thank former chairman and former ranking member senator bob menendez for his tremendous efforts on all things iran, but certainly this piece of legislation. i can't imagine a member being more constructive. and i want to say that to me today what may occur is the true reemergence of the foreign relations committee becoming more than just a debating society, but
