if they began to do that, ernie moniz will tell you we will know it immediately.has agreed to accept the additional protocol and that is an outgrowth of the failure of the north korea experience which put in additional access requirements precisely so we know what iran is doing and they have to ratify it before the sanctions are lifted at the end of the process. they have to pass the test. they have agreed to live by it from day one. there are additional transparent measures. if iran fails to comply, we will know it and we will know it quickly and be able to respond accordingly. many of the measures are in this agreement are there not just 10, 15, 25 years of which there are measures for each of those periods of time, but they are for life forever as long as iran is in the npt. north korea pulled out of the npt. iran has not pulled out of the npt. remember two years ago when the negotiations began we faced an iran that was enriching uranium at a facility up to 10% at a facility under ground and secret. they had installed nearly 20,000 nuclear centrifuges, building

secretary of state john three, theohn kerry, ernie moniz go shaded this agreement with one purpose. stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon. they achieved this goal. and that is why i'm supporting this effort by the president to bring a more peaceful and stable situation to the middle east, to appreciate the magnitude of the challenge, let's step back and take stock of iran's nuclear weapons program as it is today before this agreement goes in place. iran currently has enough nuclear material to make 10 nuclear weapons. it has mother 19,000 centrifuges , many of which are more advanced and powerful. iran wasely -- enriching its uranium to 20%. the breakout time, the time it would take iran to develop a nuclear weapon was estimated three months. it was an incredibly large and dangerous nuclear cap ability. growing at a significant rate, virtually i constrained. that is what this president inherited from the previous and ministration. but thanks to this effort, this agreement caps off every single one of iran's pathways to a bomb could it shrinks major portions of the nuclear infrastr

our nuclear experts, including one of the best in the world, secretary of energy ernie moniz, worked tirelessly on the technical details. in july, we reached a comprehensive plan of action that meets our objectives. under its terms, iran is never allowed to build a nuclear weapon. and while iran, like any party to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, is allowed to access peaceful nuclear energy, the agreement strictly defines the manner in which its nuclear program can proceed, ensuring that all pathways to a bomb are cut off. here's how. under this deal, iran cannot acquire the plutonium needed for a bomb. the core of its heavy-water reactor at arak will be pulled out, filled with concrete, and replaced with one that will not produce plutonium for a weapon. the spent fuel from that reactor will be shipped out of the country, and iran will not build any new heavy-water reactors for at least 15 years. iran will also not be able to acquire the enriched uranium that could be used for a bomb. as soon as this deal is implemented, iran will remove two-thirds of its centrifuges. for the ne

and ernie moniz was likewise briefed on it. so we are aware of what the basics of it. it is standard procedure. there are 189 countries that have an agreement with the iaea. not that many have agreements. mr. inhofe: my question is, are we entitled -- to all the related secretary kerry: correct. yes, those that are part of the agreement per se. this is, by reference, and we -- no country has access to the confidential agreements directly. mr. inhofe: yes, i don't mean to interrupt you, but my time is limited here. i can imagine this would be a part of what we would all be briefed on. yesterday, when congressman powell asked a question, secretary rice said he had seen the deal with the iaea and she is going to shared with congress. if you have seen it, that is the question. -- at the same time or prior to the time that secretary rice sought to secretary kerry: national security -- saw it. secretary kerry: national security advisor rice has not seen it. mr. inhofe: she said yesterday -- secretary kerry: no, she has been briefed on it. the exact quote is that she has been

then the multilateral talks led by secretary john kerry, undersecretary ernie moniz and undersecretary wendy sherman. now there is comprehensive agreement on iran's nuclear program. is it perfect? well, of course not. no agreement like this ever is. but is it a strong agreement? yes, it is. and we absolutely should not turn it down. the merits of the deal have been well-argued so i won't go through them in great detail here. the bottom line is that it accomplishes the major goals we set out to achieve. it blocks every pathway for iran to get a bomb. and it gives us better tools for verification and inspection and to compel rigorous compliance. without a deal, iran's breakout time, how long they need to produce enough material for a nuclear weapon, would shrink to a couple of months. with a deal, that breakout time stretches to a year, which means that if iran cheats, we'll know it and we'll have time to respond decisively. without a deal we would have no credible inspections of iran's nuclear facilities. with a deal, we'll have unprecedented access. we'll be able to monitor every aspec

congress, the more they study it, the more they talk to experts and scientists, secretary of energy ernie moniz, the rally that's about to take place speaks to the level of partisanship. they're trying to score political points. what we're focused on is implementing this deal and preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon. >> i want to share with you these pew research polls and the support for the deal has never been really particularly strong. as we look at this in september, approval was 21%, disapproval 49% compared to those numbers in july. so it soeeems it's more support with democrats that has favored the steel has suffered a little bit. what do you attribute that to? >> i think the poll numbers are all over the place when it comes to this deal. one thing we have consistently seen is the more people know about the details in the deal, the more they support it and that's the trajectory we think is important. but the american people have a long history when it comes to the iranian regime. we've lived through some very difficult times with them and this is something that i think many peo
