malley. i want to encourage you to just keep the dialogue going and the administration come up with a very best deal but you can. there are some on this committee are basically telling to stop dialogue right now. don't accept that advice. do your best and if you find a product that you think is better than what's going on right now, bring it to congress and let congress vote it. let congress on whether the u.s. is a diplomatic mission or whether we reject diplomacy. let us own it. you do your job and let us know whether the u.s. is pro-diplomacy or not. the problem with the u.s. and iran is a complete lack of trust on both sides. iran is a danger to the united states and everything that is been said by folks prior to me about iranian dangerous activity is real. but in the iranian perspective the u.s. is dangerous and untrustworthy. the u.s. helped depose and iranian prime minister in 1954. the u.s. helped install the shah of iran ruled in a dictatorial fashion over iranians for 25 years. when

malley, and that side, is? you could describe that generally. >> the sanctions for example, the first year, the 275 billion is comprised of about 134 billion dollars in frozen iranian assets that they would get access to. and then it's a combination of an increase in oil exports, non oil exports and a decrease in import costs. which add up to about 275 billion dollars, 800 billion dollars within five years, a trillion dollars by 2030. i am certainly interested to see mr. malley's estimates, one but my colleague sajid -- has done detailed calculations in modeling and analysis to arrive at the number. i am certainly interested in the administrations number to see why mr. malley doesn't agree. >> both of you, thank you to both of you, for testifying. we sit in this room and talk about the volume of their handling nuclear matters, material and that sort of thing, breakout time, all of that. you have drilled down a lot deeper into things that we need to widen our thinking on. we certainly appreciate that. mister cha

malley's estimates.but my colleague has done detailed analysis to arrive in our numbers and i'm interested in the administration's numbers to see why it doesn't agree. >> thank you for testifying. it's refreshing to talk about the this. and we sit here and we here about the handling of nuclear matters and that sort of thing and breakout time and all that. you've drilled down a lot deep near things that we need to widen our thinking on and we sincerely appreciate that. mr. chairman, we have other commitments, so we are going to move on, but it's certain-- again, i can't understate the refreshing view that they have that is a different view than is expressed by a lot of what we hear in this room. thank you very much, thank you for your testimony. >> thank you both. we, as i said, your full testimony will be included in the record and i look forward to reviewing some of the elements of your recommendations, we have the prime minister of new zealand that is pending. so, we will have to cut it a bit short, bu

malley is talking about the fact that the original plan of action was designed through a variety of restrictions to keep iran 12 -- iran at least 12 months away from the point they are right now, which is to be able to amass enough bomb grade nuclear material for just one bomb. what they are looking at is , given the fact that we've been in this -- not exactly a free-for-all, but a less constrained situation since the trump administration walked away from the deal, can we restore those benefits? what he said in that testimony is what i said earlier, which is that yes, if the deal is restored, if they lift the sanctions and they rollback the program to where things were three years ago, ron would be at least six months to nine months away from that point. in my view, that is a tremendous nonproliferation benefit, compared to where we are today. senator ritchie asked that question, should also recognize that the biden administration has said the first step toward reaching a longer and stronger deal, one that lasts longer and more -- and covers more issues is to restore compliance with , the agreem
