mr. rouhani. we have lots of problem in iran. even when mr. rouhani went to iran after answering his call, many people threw the shoes against him in front of him in airport. we have many problems but we have in our culture, for example, in muslim communities, just one example -- if you said salam, i have to answer you. obama call mrs. rouhani and he answer to answer. my previous boss he came here he didn't have any plans meeting with congressmen, met many american officials but some american offered him in u.n. can you talk directly to this congressman, this senator? and they want to say to you hello. he mentioned, yes, we have in our culture -- we should -- we have to respond if somebody says salam you should respond, and after that the congressmen ask, can we talk more and sit? they didn't have plans to talk to each other, and somebody dropped some chair and talked. so this is very, very tactical problem. very -- we have -- also the sanctions you have. right now many, many people know that i am advocating since 2009 to release the sanctions

mr. rouhani, even when mr. rouhani went to answering his call many people through their shoes in front of him in the airport. we have many problems. but we have in our culture, just one example i have to answer you. obama calls mr. rouhani. and he has to answer. my previous boss came here. he didn't have any plans meeting with congressmen and many american officials. can you talk directly to the congressman and they want to say to you hello. we have in our culture we have to respond. and they started after that they asked the senator and the congressmen, can we talk more? they didn't have to talk to each other. so this is very very tactical problem. we have also the sanctions we have peered right now many people know that i am advocating this to release the sanction on the internet freedom and we have a lot of achievement. right now we have much more difficulty is to commence the administration to relate the sanction to expand the backbone of iran. right now mr. rouhani i think it is a revolutionary project one

mr. rouhani who will be in power a couple of years from now.e of years from now it's going to be those men in uniform who are at the helm of the revolutionary guards corps. jenna: and we have talked about some of those men being active in neighboring iraq as well and the pursuit of iran in that part of the world to have more of an active leadership role, quite frankly. ali, i have to ask you this before you go. one of the reasons we wanted to have you on is was you do have the language knowledge that you know. i certainly am not reading farsi newspapers, i don't know what's happening inside of iran in the press there, and i'm just curious about your personal experience and europe journey. are you able to travel back and forth to iran? have you seep your family? tell us a little bit about that. >> well, i'm sure that i can travel back to iran, but i would probably not be able returning to america. i would only need a one-way ticket. and after entering iran i would probably also be enjoying the hospitality of the islamic republic of iran governme

mr. rouhani have promised those who have not been tried but her under house arrest would be released.ut up till now, he is not been able to do that. and doesn't even speak about it. amy: both influential iranian politicians who ran against ahmadinejad for president. >> mesabi was a nominee in 2009. however, since he had disagreements with khamenei, he is been under house arrest. rouhani promised that he would release him, but not only he is not releasing, since he has come to power, he hasn't even talked about it publicly. hasn't said anything about it. amy: a want to ask her opinion of the foreign ministry spokesperson. it is believed she will become iran's first female ambassador since the 1979 iranian revolution. >> there is a proverb we say come up with one flower, you don't get spring. -- we say, with one flower, you don't get spring. comparing her to all of the women who have been made to sit at home, having a woman who was politically very close to the government, does not change much. you know very well pursuant to the district of the government unemployment in iran -- as it i

mr. rouhani has said, there is a sense of relief and maybe a new beginning has marked the possibility of iran rejoining the international community as law-abiding member of the world. >> i want to go back to something that you just said. you mentioned this sense of relief. is there any sense of timing around this relief? what about expectations. iranians believe that quick immediate relief will come from this agreement. >> my sense again is most iranians might, in fact, have overoptimistic expectations of how quickly this agreement might turn into a better economic situation. but you can see that even the expectation of a resolution in june has already stabilized currency market, for example it has already indicated to the markets in iran that maybe better economic future is on the horizon. but i too, believe that complete ending of sanctions and the complete resolution of the economic pressures is going to be some time before they show their reality in iraq. >> and in mentioning those sanctions you talk about the markets. you talk about stability. but let's talk a little bit about the l

mr. rouhani the president is saying that we want win-win situation for both sides, it's the first step that we are starting with international community. once this goes through we want other things, so we are going to see a variety of statements until the end of june when the real negotiations are supposed to be ending, and a conclusion of the whole thing will come in a written agreement so until then, you will be hearing various statements from both sides. >> unfortunately what ends up happening is that the sides end up influencing each other. these comments by rouhani may and the concerns of hardliners against the deal, but they realize they could throw the talks off by bothering the arguments in the u.s. by republicans that say the u.s. is giving iran too much in this deal. >> it may be the case, but the ayatollah about a month ago made the statement saying exactly what he said today. this is nothing knew. he said that i want a deal at one stage i want the end of the sanctions altogether at the same time. i think these already available for negotiation from both sides. naturally the hard

mr. jarif: we are because we were there even before the sanctions. we were always at the negotiating table. we were there earlier. president rouhani and myself were negotiating. then our successors continued to negotiate. it is now the u.s. that has invented that idea of zero enrichment. if they had accepted the right for enrichment 10 years ago, we would not have had all this nonsense. charlie: the u.s. sees, as long as there are caps, it is ok. mr. jarif: that would have been possible. there were proposals, before a single united nations sanction was put in place, that would have provided a better option. but the u.s. decided to torpedo. the bush administration john bolton, decided to torpedo. the agreement being reached with the europeans at the time. now they lived to regret it. now they understand sanctions do not produce results. negotiations produce results. ♪ charlie: i want to talk about several things. many americans, such as jim baker and henry kissinger, have raised caution about the agreement. when question, sanctions, and inspection. the u.s. has said the sanctions should be phased out on the basis of good conduct an

do you think, given the relationship between zarif rouhani, and khamenei that this is really going to have smooth sailing in iran? mr. limbert: it is a good question. whatever you think of the deal and whatever the details of the deal, it is clear that what was agreed to and the process over the last two years has represented change within our two countries, which has been one of almost uninterrupted hostility going back to 1979. there were some efforts to change that. barbara, i think you described those as two teenagers trying to figure out who would invite whom to the prom. when one side was ready, the other side was not. we go back to the clinton administration, the inability to get together. we have to say that president obama -- or candidate obama, senator obama, made very clear that he did not talk about a nuclear deal. he talked about changing the relationship into something that was more in line with american interests. in other words, that the 30-some years of hostility had not served american interests and that he was advocating change. it turned out that that effort was much tougher than he thought, than

rouhani refused to sign the deal unless all sanctions are lifted. joining us iraq's ambassador to the united states, thank you for being with us mr. ambassador.this this morning. words of rehounie seen as a tough bargains stance making it tough for the president's sell to congress. so what's your take on his comments this morning on refusing to endorse that nuclear agreement? >> well we in iraq agree with the deal. we think it will bring tension down in the region and we think what the initial agreements are, all positive signs, there is more work to do across both parties, or actually across iran and the other six parties, but we are very supportive of that and i'm sure certain politicians will play politics with it but for now are determined iraq will support this and the attention in the reach's. >> not worried about the comments saying he's not going to sign or endorse this deal at this point? >> this has been a long negotiation. we played a very small part at the very early stages of it. we think that both parties want that deal and we are have confident that they will receive, and they will sort of achieve stability in the region. >> am
