seems like both sides are driving very, very hard bargain and that's why it's taking so long. >> iran's nuclear program has nothing to did with whether iran supports hezbollah or iran's desire to ship weapons to others in the region. again why shouldn't the americans look at this and say we left economic sanctions, would iran use that money to fund groups the u.s. has labeled terrorists. >> first of all, the u.s. insisted that this would be about the neucialg issue and not link it to other issues. part of the reason is obviously. this is not a u.s. iran negotiation clearly other issues would have been included. but this is a negotiation that also includes russia and china and other states. you needed to make sure that the p-5 plus one was completely united. if you bring in other issues you divide the p-5 plus one, you cannot have an effective and successful negotiation. that is why this is separated. having said that, i truly believe if you have this zeal and positive elements introduced in the u.s. iran relationship you will see certain ships when it comes to other policies as well. ta

for the life of this agreement, however long iran stays in the npt and living up to its obligations, they must live up to the additional protocol and that additional protocol greatly expands the ability to have accountability. i'll close by saying this agreement gives us a far stronger detection capability more time to respond to any attempt to break out towards a bomb, and much more national support in stopping it than we would have without the deal. if we walk away from this deal and then we decide to use military force, we're not going to have the united nations or the other five nations that negotiated with us because they will feel we walked away and make no mistake, president obama is committed to staying with the policy of stopping this bomb. so in the 28 years -- a little more -- that was prevalenceivileged to rep sent massachusetts, i had a 100% voting record on israel. i have others there who care enormously about israel. i understand the fear. i understand the concerns that our friends in israel have. but we believe that what we have laid out here is a way of making israel

subject to iran's npt obligations, i think it fails to negotiate iran's history of deception and violations of npt, and it will in the long make it harder to demonstrate that iran's program is not in fact being used for peaceful purpose, because iran will have legitimate reasons to have advanced centrifuges and an enrichment program. we will have to demonstrate that it's intention is duel use, and not justified by the nuclear power program. that's a much more difficult burden. mr. secretary you have always been skeptical about sanctions. i know you sort of embrace them here today. but when you were chairing of this committee, when the administration was vigorously vigorously arguing against it your comment was to -- so what you are really saying is that there is a very blunt instrument, which risks adverse reaction as opposed to a calculated effort. so in that hearing i remember i had to come back because i didn't expect that even the question of the amendment was going to come up and they were there trying to excoreiate the effort. so let me ask, under the sanctions heading of the agreement, paragraph 26 says and i quote

was a lot of talk about how long different elements of the agreement would be held in place, how long iranould be held off from involving itself in nuclear research and development. that was a contentious issue. but what really came down to the wire was the language in a u.n. resolution that would follow and encapsulation this agreement with regards to an arms embargo placed on iran that was designed to bring iran to the negotiating table here. it appeared as if what they were asking for was too much for secretary kerry to give. but the wording -- was going to be framed within that u.n. security council was where perhaps the details could be if you will, massaged so that everyone could walk away with what they wanted. the chinese foreign minister says no deal is perfect. and that will provide light about what we may hear later today. but one of the other sticking points was possible military dimensions pmd, has iran used its technology to try to make a weapon? the iaea had 12 questions on that which iran had only answered one of them and even then not to their entire satisfaction. so that

does the agreement deny iran a nuclear weapon capability? the long-standing declared goal of the united states and the international community. does the agreement once the constraints expire prevent iran from building a nuclear weapon in a short amount of time? does the agreement actually extend the breakout time in a meaningful way? is the agreement effectively verifiable? and is there a meaningful days of release of sanctions and are they guaranteed snapback provisions? and i think very clearly the answer to each of these questions is no. of reality that is becoming apparent across party lines. so how did we get into this mess, and have no doubt this is a mess. the answer is very clear. the administration has violated every rule of negotiating practice. the basic canon of negotiating one-to-one. instead of increasing pressure on tehran through more sanctions, they released sanctions to end their word keep iran at the table. but whenever it was these very sanctions that brought them to the table. instead of making clear to iran iran need an agreemen

iran broke off diplomatic relations. now, under the vienna conventions, washington is obligated to maintain the block. the u.s. long accused iran of stirring up trouble across the middle east. it supports hezbollah and hamas and is accused of sending aid to yemen. there is talk that the u.s. might be able to use the moment to help end syria's civil war. >> we need to see whether or not the iranians are willing to play ball to correct this situation. to date we have not done that. we have placed our emphasis entirely on the nuclear issue. we have set aside all of these other things. now it's time to pivot and to pivot very rapidly. >> removing assad could deprive isil a mutual enemy of iran and the u.s. of a recruiting tool. such cooperation runs the risk of increasing tensions between the u.s. and traditional ally, saudi arabia, which views iran as a rival. however, time is running out for the obama administration. with just 17 months before it leaves office. it has a landmark deal with iran, but it's likely to be years before the country is regarded by the u.s. as a friend and not as a potential foe. >>> photos of

under the deal, sanctions imposed on iran would be lifted in return for iran agreeing to long-term curbs on its nuclear program. the deal allows iran to maintain a civilian nuclear program, but aims to prevent iran from ever developing nuclear weapons. earlier this morning and a national address that was also broadcast on iranian television president obama said every pathway for iran to a nuclear weapon has been cut off. >> today after two years of negotiations, the united states together with our international partners, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not. a conference of long-term deal with iran that will prevent him from obtaining a nuclear weapon. this deal meets every single one of the bottom lines that we have established when we achieved framework earlier this spring. every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off. and the inspection and transparency regime necessary to verify that objective will be put in place. because of this deal, iran will not produce the highly enriched uranium and weapons grade plutonium that formed the raw materials necessary for nuclear

iran's $100 billion in restricted foreign reserves which many fear will constitute the country's long-term savings and not the budgetary allowance. after sanctions relief iran will only be able to freely access about $50 billion, and that's because over $20 billion are donated to china where it cannot be spent and additional funds are to iran's energy and banking sector. iran can't spend the usable resources as they will likely to be needed to meet international obligations for external net and imports. moreover president rawouhani, he faces over $500 trillion500 half a trillion dollars. backing away from this deal to escalate the economic pressure and try to obtain a broader kau pitchlation from iran will be a mistake. even if one believed that extending the sanctions pressure than resolving the threat of iran's nuclear program, that choice is not available. our partners agreed to impose costly sanctions on iran for one reason to, put a stop to its nuclear program. we could be left with neither a nuclear deal nor effective sanctions so it's unrealistic that sanctions would force iran to t

isn't that too long if iran is trying to hide something? john: no.irst of all, the 24 days is a maximum. that is not a minimum it is a maximum. experts say that within 24 days, if iran could cheat and did decide to cheat, that is more than enough time to be able to determine any residue or evidence that they were cheating. we are not concerned about the 24 days at all. the iaea will have all the access it needs where and when. a complete look at the supply chain, as well. if iran was cheating or interested in getting away with something, they would have to have a covert supply chain to do it, and that is incredibly difficult. because we will have such good access and monitoring ability it is not very likely. laura: thank you for joining me. mexican authorities have released cctv pictures showing the most wanted drug lord in his prison cell moments before escaping. the footage shows joachim -- joaquin guzman pacing before disappearing in a tunnel in the shower. there is a massive manhunt. a german court sentenced oskar groening to four years in prison

iran's $100 billion in restricted foreign reserves, which many fear will be directed for nefarious purposes constitute the country's long-term savings. we estimate that after sanctions relief, iran will only be able to freely access around half of these reserves or about $50 billion. that is because over $20 billion is committed to projects with china where i cannot be spent, and tens of billions in additional funds are not performing loads to advance energy and banking sector. iran cannot simply spend the usable resources as they will likely be needed to meet international payment obligations such as financing for import and external debt. moreover president -- the president was elected on a platform of revitalization. he faces over half $1 trillion in pressing investment requirements and government obligations. iran is in a massive economical, from which it will take years to climb out. meanwhile, we will aggressively target any attempt by iran to finance terrorists or somewhat. -- support militant proxies. backing away from this deal to escalate the economic pressure and try to obtain a broader capitulation from iran

the global threat from iran has been a focus of this committee for as long as i can remember. last congress we passed comprehensive sanctions legislation via vote of 400 to 20. it would have given iran's supreme leader a choice between its nuclear program or economic collapse. but the administration was successful in blocking that legislation. so instead of us considering a verifiable, enforceable and accountable agreement we are being asked to consider an agreement that gives iran permanent sanctions relief for temporary nuclear restrictions. should iran be given this special deal? in september committee members will face the important decision of approving or disapproving this agreement. we will have that vote only because of the iran nuclear agreement review act passed in may which the administration did not want. to be frank, the administration's preference has been to sideline america's representatives. so i was not entirely surprised when the administration went against bipartisan calls and gave russia and china and others at the u.n. security council a vote on this agree
