the iranian nation through its resistance and steadfastness took another step towards attaining national goals. i have to think the iranian nation, since the people, in order to safeguard the national interest, today they will remain resistant and steadfast in the future the people will turn this path. -- steadfast, and in the future the people will drive this path. the government and this administration has offered some promises to the people and we have always made efforts in order to fulfill those promises within the framework of our national interest. one promise was that the centrifuges have to spin, and at the same time, people and life should go on smoothly, and it will be valuable for us to see the centrifuges spinning provided that the economy would also move forward. today, we have gotten closer to that object, compared to the past weeks and days. during the first hundred days of this administration, the government took the first step forward and reached an entry -- in the roomterim deal regarding the nuclear issue in negotiations. since that time, we have been making efforts i

i wish to personally appreciate them and on behalf of the iranian nation. hopefully support by the leader of the nation would be of great help to them in order to obtain the final success. >> the iranian president from this morning. by the way, we have a link to the details of that joint comprehensive plan of action. you will find that on c-span.org. you will also find president obama's comments shortly after the deal was announced, he spoke to reporters in the rose garden. the president today is in utah. this afternoon, he will be at an air force base talking about the economy. a jobs report was released today. the president's comments coming up at 1:00 eastern on c-span. tonight, former president clinton speaks. this was part of the annual clinton foundation health summit. that is tonight at 8:00 eastern. , this weekend, the c-span city store learns about the history and literary life of tulsa, oklahoma. >> when guthrie is most famous for his writing of "this land is our land," but he is known for much more than that. we are very happy to have his work bac

, and the iranian nation and the guard appreciate their honest political efforts." separately, president obama told n.p.r. that iran would remain a year away from building a bomb, for at least a decade. >> what is a more relevant fear would be that in year 13, 14, 15 they have advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point, the breakout times would have shrunk almost down to zero. keep in mind, though, currently, the breakout times are only about two to three months by our intelligence estimates. >> ifill: house speaker john boehner shot back, saying the president has now confirmed what critics of the deal have been saying. this was election day in chicago, with the mayor's office on the line. incumbent rahm emanuel was heavily favored to win a second term in a runoff against jesus "chuy" garcia, a cook county commissioner. and three city council seats were at stake in ferguson, missouri, in the city's first election since last year's shooting of a black teenager by a white policeman. the council could go from five whites and one black me

despicable to assert that jason's work amounted to espionage or otherwise posed any threat to iranian national security." he's being held in a notoriously brutal prison and spent nearly five months in solitary confinement according to his brother, ali, who spoke to cbs news' chip reid last week. >> jason in the first 45 days in prison lost almost 50 pounds. at that time he was being actively interrogated six days a week. at this point we know he's had multiple infections. they have been not treated for long periods of time. >> rezaian's mother mary who lives in turkey has made several public pleas for his release. >> i speak directly to those with the power to release my son jason rezaian. enough is enough. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry raised rezaian's case with iranian leaders during their last round of nuclear negotiations. and it is sure to come up again, scott, when those talks resume in vienna tomorrow. >> pelley: nancy cordes in washington. nancy, thank you. for nearly three decades this man helped america bust drug cartels, but now he claims the u.s. government is sending

the biggest power in the world the us and the country's president acknowledge the fact that the iranian nationill never yield to pressure sanctions, and bullying. it sounds like this deal is working out swimmingly. >> we don't know how it will work out. what we're seeing now is the publicity prenegotiation. in other words, this is the iranian dream. this is what they want. this agreement is signed all sanctions disappear. they know it won't happen. we know it's not going to happen. melissa: i hope. >> each side is stating its maximalist position. >> they know how invested the president is. he's wait out there on this thing. it would be an enormous embarrassment to him if it falls apart. they'll push and push and push for more concessions. >> they're talking a lot of smack. you never talk smack, charlie gasparino. charlie: my first instinct was to be opposed to this. i know a lot of smart people in diplomatic circles that is that iran is a secular country once you get the lunatics out of control. i will say this, does this mean they want to wipe israel off the face of the earth? these guys cons

sanctions harmed the iranian nation. there is no doubt about it. but if the objective of sanctions was limiting the iranian nuclear program, this was 100% counterproductive. this is a good lesson for the u.s. congress and for israelis. more pressure, more threats iran would become more aggressive. but if you go for mutual respect , negotiating with iran based on mutual respect and based on international rules and regulations, you would find a very very cooperating a flexible iran. amy: what about what congress is saying right now, the house speaker john boehner as well as the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell went to israel to meet with netanyahu. they're saying they want to have a say in this. what about these three months? yesterday, john kerry did not stand with the iranian foreign minister in making the announcement. they held separate news conferences. what are the chances this deal will be sealed? >> i believe this is for the united states of america, the administration who resolved its thomistic problem. but for iranians, they are really

the iranian side argued its rights to national dignity. they said, it is our oil and we have the right to control it. the other side argued contract and legalisms. as one british observer said, really, it seemed hardly fair the dignified and correct western statement sent -- statement should should be defeated by the antics of incomprehensible orientals. [laughter] that is where they were. that is how the sides saw each other. the result, as we know is the disgraceful history of august 1953. the cia and british sponsored coup that overthrew the government. which few americans know about and every iranian. it still casts a shadow over the meetings in luzon. like it or not, that shadow is there. i fear this sad history is repeating itself. as i tell my students, those who forget history are condemned to repeat sophomore year. [laughter] well, that is the bad news. let me end with good news. i know jamaal -- i want to hear what he has to say. the good news is, the u.s. and iran have come a very long way in the last two years. in a good way. d

with me are jamal abdi, policy director at the national iranian american council of and barbara slaven nonresident member of the south asian center and author. jamal, let me start with you. do you come down a little closer to henry's caution and skepticism, or the optimism and freely openly made statements thing? >> well, i do think everybody won. i think i came down on the side of everywhere at the netting tail. i think the sides overperformed. everyone got something they can go home and tell constituents we won, we got what we wanted. that's the bottom line. >> is it so complicated to carry out. this is a fearsome set of requirements, that there's going to be, instead of lowered suspicion, heightened suspicion for a while? >> you know, trust was the big gap here, but i think the parties, by talking, for 18 months, managed to bridge. now, is the deal too complicated? i don't think there a way that you get a deal dealing with nuclear physics. international sanctions, and seven countries, many with no love loss with one another, and you put something together that is simple than the fra

discussion with iranian officials, they said because of the freedom in iraq, we pose a threat to iranian national interests, with freedom. maybe that is true or not, but the point is we are distinct and we want to have our own way of life. we respect our neighbors and we have common threats. as to the point of most all and the operations and so on, there have to be riots in peshmerga involved. there have to be various -- tribes and peshmerga involved. there have to be various communities involved. we don't want one problem to create another problem for us. that's an issue we have to address. isis is a problem for the whole society, not just for localities. so as far as yemen is concerned, we do support the formation of an arab army to deal with issues, but that is a project for another time. problems are more domestic. people are projecting it as a regional problem. we need to support them. certainly, we think there needs to be a more political discussion. we need a little breathing space before politics plays a role. in turkey, if we compare the relationship to a year ago, 18 months ago, i think

because of the problems over there and the freedom in iraq, that we're posting a threat to the iranian national interest with freedom. maybe that's true or not doesn't matter. the point is we are distinct and we want to have our own way of life, and would respect the neighbor and we have common threats. and let's not forget they were the first provider and conditions to, for other a lot of condition of its. as to the point of mosul and operation and so on the level of change has to be with tribes and has to be that peshmerga get involved with the. and it has to be there is commuters in mosul play part in as well. we do want to do with that peshmerga because we need to think about what's the role moving forward. we don't want to resolve one problem, create of the problem for us. so that peshmerga being involved in mosul is a very important fact for the for commitment for all to get rid of ice the isis is a problem for the whole society, not just for localities. so as far as yemen is concerned we have said we do in principle support having information of arab army to deal with issues, but yemen i

iranians. our national security correspondent, jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with more details. what are you learning about where the iranian on soy is right now as we speak? >> reporter: well, jeb that, multiple sources confirm to us that the iranian convoy appears to have reversed course and is now headed northeast in the arabian sea in the direction of home. pentagon officials say the convoy is now located in the waters south of to oman still being trawled by the -- trailed by the uss theodore roosevelt. seven cargo ships and two trig dates originally steaming to the entrance of the red sea. this reversal, of course appears to be good news say pentagon official, but they express caution saying this isn't over yet and insisted the roosevelt will maintain observation on the convoy. >> the principal goal of this operation is to maintain freedom of navigation and free flow of commerce in the gulf of aden and the red sea. >> i've seen a lot of confusion. if we're putting an aircraft carrier, you know, in the gulf of yemen to block against iranian warships that are coming into that

because of iranian pilgrimage over there because of the freedom in iraq we pose a threat to iranian national interests with freedom. maybe that is true or not, but the point is we are distinct and we want to have our own way of life. we respect our neighbors and we have common threats. and let's not forget they were first to provide officer unconditional. for others there was conditionality. as to the point of most all and the operations and so on, there have to be riots in peshmerga involved. and the various communities have to get involved as well. there have to be various communities involved. we don't want to resolve one problem and create other problems for us. that's an issue we have to address. peshmerga in mosul is an important sign for us. isis is a problem for the whole society, not just for localities. so as far as yemen is concerned, we have said we do in principle support having a formation of arab army to deal with issues. but yemen is not the right project to implement that. the problems are more domestic. people are projecting it as a regional problem. it's more domestic issu

iranian officials, they said because of the freedom in iraq, that we are posing a threat to the iranian nationalaybe that is true or not. that doesn't matter. the point is we are distinct and we want to have our own way of life and we respect the neighbor and we have common threats. and let's not forget they were the first to provide offer, unconditional. for others there was a lot of conditionality. as to the point ever mosul and operations and so on the level of change has to be of tribes and they have to be involved in it and the various communities play a part as well. we don't want to do it without the peshmerga. and what is the role moving forward. we don't want to resolve one problem and create other problems for us. and so peshmerga being involved is important for us for commitment for all to get involved in isis. isis is a problem for all of society not just localities. so as far as yemen is concerned we have said we do in principal support having an arab army to deal with the issue but yemen is not the right project to implement that. the problems are more domestic people are projectin

expert on iran iran sanctions, but i read enough and know enough about iran that chances are the iranian nation getting a nuclear weapon so eventually it's probably going to happen and it's probably a good idea for, politically speaking republicans to position themselves and say, look it's obama's fault. maybe it will happen maybe it won't, but it's tough to believe iran is like look we've got to have alternative energy you know we've got to have nuclear power. >> also this headline from jeb bush saying he's raised more money in 100 days than any modern day republican. what's that all about? >> all about his great campaign that's not a campaign. >> hasn't officially declared. >> right. he's a candidate who's not a candidate and kind of wed up his campaign or non-campaign operations with a super pac operations, which enable him more freedom to raise unlimited soft money sums from large corporations and then sock that away. >> what can you do with that money? >> eventually you advertise it use it for advertising. super pacs by and large, big advertising schemes that just spend and burn tons of mo

sources say an american aircraft carrier is now shadowing an iranian convoy. fox news national security correspondent has more. >> reporter: the u.s. navy is fortifying off yemen. u.s.s. roosevelt is joining other vessels prepared to block any iranian ships from supplying weapons to the rebels. the united states security council emposing an arms embargo last week. iran denies it's arming the rebels while the white house says there's evidence to the contrary. >> it will only contribute to greater violence. >> reporter: a saudi-led coalition hitting rebel targets with air strikes. the fighting seen by many as a proxy war it saudi arabia and iran. tehran, a strong critic of the military operation. >> we hope that everybody comes to their senses and we hope that the iran proposal is realized. it's for an immediate cease- fire addressing the situation of the injury and a yemeni- yemeni meeting to find solutions. >> reporter: the u.s. -- [indiscernible] -- the obama administration says it won't be working with iran on yemen. >> are we looking for a way to work with our partners with

the iranian prime minister is in lebanon. the united nations' efforts under way are under way to bring about a settlement. the problem is that the saudis are of the view that the iranians will use the houthis as proxy to spread radical shia ideology and destabilize the region including saudi arabia. this is the rhetoric of the saudis is the following we're never going to tolerate any force trying to destabilize the region and that the airstrikes will continue until the houthis disband. the presence of two vessels off the coast of aden is going to cause more escalation unless we see more in the future between the saudis and the iranian. but the situation is extremely extremely tense there. >> thanks, hashem. >> a federal jury in the united states has delivered its verdict in the case of one of the men behind the 2013 boston marathon bombing. let's go live straight away to allen fisher, who is in washington, d.c. this news coming up in the last half hour, guilty on all 30 counts. that doesn't leave a lot of room for doubt in terms of whether sent

we are getting word that the iranian president rowhani's going to deliver a national address on nucleartern. 10:00 a.m. eastern time in teheran. again, iranian president rowhani with a national address on nuclear talks. u.s. and five other world powers came to an agreement, a deal some are calling it a tentative deal. the secretary of state john kerry, of course helping to broker that deal as well. but 10:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m. eastern time we'll take it for you live. the president of iran from teheran. so make sure you tune in. just about 20 minutes or so here on cnn. >>> meantime a manhunt right now for the suspected mastermind of the terrifying massacre in kenya. $215,000 bounty on the head of this man, mohammed mohammed. students are leaving the university college for going home now one day after militants rampaged through the campus. they slaughtered 147 people there. going from the school's gate to the classroom, to the dorms. students fled for their lives. >> we had some gunshot and sleeping and it was around around 5:00. and guys started jumping up and down and running for their liv

the difference between much of the world sees iran and the way iranians see themselves. the national army day here two days ago. the president rouhani held a speech and said iranians believe their military is a stabilizing factor not only for iran but for the entire region. they clearly have a very different point of view of their role here in the middle east. there is the believe it was the iranians who stabilized iraq. this very a better strategy when it comes to fighting isis. they believe the way they are training the shi'ite militia is more effective. they also claim that as far as yemen is concerned, the only way they are involved is by trying to send humanitarian aid. they deny sending weapons to yemen. they say the war ships that might be in the region at this point in time they are only carrying out anti-piracy missions. they say they will not take orders from anyone as far as where to place their navy. you do have confrontation on the one hand. you also have the reconciliation on the other hand. we noted the nuclear negotiations continue. there are many people in tehran who

nations. the iranians agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons weapons in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions, but that's months away, assuming the details can be worked out. elizabeth palmer reports on who is for this and who is opposed. >> reporter: rawrn's foreign minister arrived home to a hero's welcome from young people thrilled with the deal they hope signals closer closer ties between iran and the west, especially the u.s. , of course not everyone is on side. there was some grumbling from hard liners who think the deal is a sellout, and at fridays prayers this morning, there was the usual chant of, "death to america." the official government line couldn't be clearer. "we will keep our promises," said iran's president hassan rouhani. "the nuclear negotiations are the first step in constructive interaction with the world." >> reporter: specifically, the lifting of u.s.-led sanctions that have sucked the life out of iran's economy and sent inflation soaring to 40%. even though the stickiest details of sanctions relief have still to be hammered out over the next three months these joyful

administration and american leadership would like to basically acknowledge iranian role in the gulf region. it's a proud natione second agreement, the second underlying premise is that one would hope that the iranian leadership basically would no longer define the position and would begin to play a positive role in the region. you have many promises. you have to wait and see how this particular agreement unfolds in the next few weeks and months. remember as you said we're talking about contours and parameters. we have to walt until june and see how the is carried nout the field in realtime. >> and we have to see. a lot of details have yet to be sorted out. >> has been a fixture at the iran nuclear talks in switzerland. let's find out about his role leading up to the announcement of his agreement. matthew chance is live for us in moscow. matthew? >> thank you very much. obviously russia has been a key aspect of these negotiations over the many years that they have been taking place. i's part of the same p5 plus one group that includes the united states and so yes it's been instrumental in bringing these negotia

. >> the iranian president has addressed the nation and promises to stick to the framework of the deal between iran and six world powers including the united states. barack obama believes it will keep the world a safer place. but it has also been criticized by the israelis. >> arriving back to a hero's welcome, iran's foreign minister zarif was greeted by supporters for many here work was achieved in lausanne is the beginning of the end of iran's international isolation. president rouhani promised a new era of cooperation. >> in from the day of agreement new corporations end in other areas of the world and will start a new phase with the world world. >> but there are powerful conservative critics in the nuclear deal, andrea than any and are a hawn anyand rouhani reassured them of iran's rights. >> ifthey have agreed with them. if they didn't then our nation would have alternatives to take. >> the conservative opposition to the israeli government and the israeli government see it as a dangerous situation. >> the deal will leave iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure but for negotiators

i am not buying the response of this being a national security issue. iranianlear deals is a security issue. bombers are a national security issue. a tubby person with a double chin applying for the army is not a national security. >> you don't think this is a problem? >> i think their definition of healthy is skewed. i am sure there are people they could accept and bleed them down. the battle over guantanamo bay. the administration wants to move many suspected terrorist out of the prison before congress can do anything about it. the alarming details where they are from and concerns of them going back to the front lines of terror. and women in the race for the white house. what we are learning about the launch of carly's expected campaign and a poll showing a republican woman who said she is nod running doing better against hilary clinton than any other woman. how this could affect the big race. i have a lot of daily rituals. namaste. stay. taking care of our teeth is one of them. when i brush my teeth, he gets a milk-bone brushing chew. just another way to kee

[óbut i would say that the day when iranian starts to pursue its national interests and prioritize itsnomic and national interest before revolution ideology i think there's going to be plenty of overlapping sw between the imraits and iran. i think the best quotes on iran is henry kissinger. he says there are few nations in the world they have less common interests and more to quarrel than iran but iran has to decide whether it's a nation or cause. i think that's what president obama is trying to do to strengthen those who want to be a nation and weaken those who want to be a cause. >> rose: thank you. great to have you here. >> thank you. >> rose: great to see you. back in a moment. stay with us. >> rose: bernard-henri levy. he's an author journalist. he wrote an empassed plea to french voters to reject the far right candidate. the alliance of the conservative parties were a clear winner making a come back for former nicholai sarkozy. i'm glad to have my friend bernard-henri levy because he's always doing interesting things including politics war and culture and art. welcome. >> thank

mandate of getting rid of sanctions and bringing iran in from the cold and thanked the iranian people for nationalism and patience and promised that the country would see a time of economic prosperity. he said the government would extend its hand to all businesses in iran and help them prosper for a new age in iran. also says that iran has no hostility with anybody in the world, anybody that respects iran and wants a relationship with iran iran will also extend a hand of friendship to them. so he is very careful not to make controversial comments but he billed this as a big victory for iran and wants to say iran is willing to make friends with everybody in the world right now, as long as this deal goes through and we are respected. he was pretty happy. he is seen as a national hero here, as is his foreign minister. >> losing that shot from him. let's go to kris jansing. tell us about the criticism from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the president spoke with him by phone, and called the saudi arabia king. what can you tell us about those calls and what was said? >> reporter: right after the presid

time, i think ever, the speech from the president of the united states is broadcast live on national iranian television and that's significant because president obama laid out this fact sheet which then the foreign minister, the negotiator tweeted, oh, there's no need to lay out the fact sheets so soon because that has the details. iran made concessions. >> we saw them pictures in the streets celebrating. mike you think it is a bad deal, and you think that it might make a nuclear breakout for iran more likely, is that your opinion? >> yes, it is. but before i would say it is a bad deal i would say it is not really a deal yet. the ptresident and john kerry are pretending that there is more there than there is. they had to head off the senate and so they are presenting, this is kind of a done deal when there's a lot of room yet for negotiation. christiane mentioned that jahvid sarif was tweeting about the fact sheet. he tweeted the administration is claiming that the sanctions are going to be rolled back gradually and he said they'll be rolled back immediately. there's a huge difference on maj

whom national media gives a free pass our nation's enemies take advantage. turns out iranian defect or from talks, might have it right. >> if congress seals this deal not based on expert analysis, then it is united states that will be blamed for failure of diplomacy. >> failures of diplomacy under this administration. well they are unprecedented. still, we have a leader who talks down to the american people. and who ofencedded when we does -- efends when he does, his 57 is not lofty -- his perch is not lofty at all. our quotation of the evening from benjamin who said this. he was a 17 century provost of kings college he knew a thing or two we're coming right back. >> president obama celebrating so-called framework for a nuclear deal with iran. >> benjamin netanyahu is not. colonel ralph peters on the deal. >> and america's fighter pilots, fitted with people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. d

nations. thereby fulfilling the extraordinary talent and aspirations of the iranian people. >> but talk about an assent to iran makes the arab nations nervous. secretary of state john kerry and the president were on the phone with the united states allies. they see a politically recharged iran a threat to their security. >> it's going to take more than a meeting to assure them things are not going to change and that iran is going to stop and change its behavior especially meddling in arab affairs. >> reporter: and antonio israel's right to exist on friday the state department says that was purposefully kept out. this deal is only about the nuclear issue. antonio. >> mike viqueria, in washington. how does this obama administration go about selling this agreement in the united states? we'll get into that with our political contributor michael shure in just a few minutes. >>> two saudi soldiers have been killed along the border in the fight at aden. some troops have been pulled back from the positions they captured yesterday. omar al sallyh reports. >> we are the southern resistance in aden and w

i came here on saturday the day that the iranians here celebrated their national army day parade and during that time you did have a banners going around saying death to america. you had president hassan rowhani giving a speech saying he believed that the iranian military was the stabilizing force, not only for iran itself but for the entire region. they praised what they were doing in iraq. they were senior military leaders here who normally never speak to western media that told me they believe it's their strategy winning in iraq rather than the one that the americans are following. certainly there is an element where they clearly say they believe that america isn't a threat to them. they clearly celebrate their military and its readiness but on the same time this is so interesting, they also say they want negotiations especially if you talk to members of the rowhani government. i spoke to the vice president just yesterday and she told me of course they want to me of course they want to deal of course they want to make a deal happ but acknowledged that there were forces here who wer

pledging that his nation will abide by the deal reached in switzerland, in an address to his nation he says that iranians do not seek to mislead the world. they face a june deadline for a final deal, israel's prime minister says he and his cabinet members are united in strongly opposing the deal. >>> there is more ahead on "action news" at 12:30 this friday. relatives of john and joyce sheridan are breaking their silence, why they say the cops got it all wrong. >>> plus, remember this a ski lift malfunctioning at a ski report and now another chair-lift is taken out of service, we'll tell you why this time. >>> a ski resort in maine shut down a chair-lift, less than two weeks before another chair-lift went haywire and injured seven people. the king pine chair-lift malfunctioned and a broken drive shaft in the gear box caused the accident and now the resort took another lift out of service as a precaution after they found the drive shaft had an abnormal am of wear and tear. >>> now relatives of john and joyce sheridan are speaking out days after the couple's death was ruled a murder-suicide. here is more o

. >> translation: the other nations should learn from the iranian army they shouldn't attack children or old people and women. attacks on the innocent are a disgrace. >> we'll go live to jizan saudi arabia close to the border with yemen. let's start with the pledge by saudi arabia of $274 million in aid. how is that going be distributed if the conflict is continuing? >> that is a good question. yesterday we saw the spokesmen of the coalition asking each side to facilitate the reaching of civilians in need. it's an indication that the saudies, and the united nations are facing in yemen reaching those in need of humanitary help. we have seen civilians complaining that the fuel supplies that were dropped there, the aid relief that dropped from the air did not reach them and went to the wrong side probably talking about the troops loyal to ali abdullah saleh. it will have to be translated into supplies and aid for the people in need. >> let's talk about the relationship between saudi arabia and iran iran's president accusing saudi arabia of sewing hate red. many people perseeing the confl

. >> the other nations should learn from the iranian army. they should not attack children. they should not attack all people and women in yemen. attacks on the innocent are a disgrace for the aggressors. in relation to our nuclear program, we would like to demonstrate to the world that it's a peaceful program. we're not an aggressive nation. this year is the year of coordination and collaboration along side each other. >>> let's speak to the head of north american studies graduate program at the university of at the ran. he joins us live now from the iranian capital. can we start by looking at the four-point plan that has most recently being sent in a letter to the u.n. security council to end the war in yemen. but it's not gaining traction. why? >> the main problem obviously is the saudi regime's constant bombing of targets inside yemen. they're destroying hospitals, factories, dairy factories, and they bombed gas stations and burned people alive in one single attack. so as long as the saudis are carrying out this shock and awe campaign against ordinary yemenis, there's re
