netanyahu netanyahu. both came head to head on the iran issue. israel worked hard to put pressure on the negotiators, u.s. negotiators and european negotiators. they believe that iran would not stick to a deal that iran is hiding nuclear work that they could use for military purposes and not nuclear energy. in the last hours of the deal there were states out of tel aviv and jerusalem that this deal was going to be bad. we saw american jewish leaders early this morning including the the head of world jewish congress saying this is bad, we want to see details. we don't just iran. for them to see iran leadership and cause of death to america and death to israel in the streets of teheran even this past weekend. they're threatened by iran i think from the other side. i would say iran sees israel as a nuclear power not one trying to get nuclear weapons but already established. iran has troops on the borders in afghanistan and iraq. it's felt they're in the dangerous neighborhood and felt threatened by israel. that relationship between iran and israel has been very very bad. it's as bad as between iran and united states for 30 years, three deck days. for israel they put everything in to try to work with congress to get congress to coming out against this deal early on. a lot of lobbying a lot of investment. there was a contentious visit to washington from prime minister netanyahu since the agreement first are really started going 18 months ago as chris was saying. that's caused tension between the two sides. it's no surprise israel is feeling the way it. >> thanks. let's go back to london with joe friar has been monitoring the press conference. obviously reaction from foreign minister, represents of eu holding that joint statement with the iranian foreign minister. that's described by the iranian foreign minister as a win/win. what is coming out of that briefing? >> the deal described as a win/win solution on what it says was in our view unmess crisis. the statement today, could have been the end of hope on this issue but now starting a new chapter of hope. let's build on this and consider it everybody's achieve. another note. this is historic moment we're reaching agreement that is not perfect for anybody but what we could accomplish and important for all of us. those are remarks coming out here as we prepare to hear an official announcement. described as a w

netanyahu netanyahu. this is a major victory. no doubt about it. an affirmation of with a his central -- >> here is the president. >> -- two years of negotiations the united states together with international partners decades of animosity has not, a comprehensive long term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. this deal demonstrates that american diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change change that makes our country and the world safer and more secure. this deal is also in line with a tradition of american leadership. it's now more than 50 years since president kennedy stood before the american people and said let us never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to negotiate. he was speaking about the need for discussions between the united states and the soviet union which led to efforts to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons. in those days the are risk was a war between super powers. in our time the concern is that nuclear weapons will spread to the middle east the most volatile region in our world. today, because america negotiated from a position of strength and principle, we have stopped the spread of nuclear weapons in this region. because of this deal the international community will be able to verify that the islamic republic of iran will not develop a nuclear weapon. this deal meets every single one of the bottom lines of the establisheded when we achieved a framework this spring. every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off. the inspection and transparency regime necessary to verify the objective will be put in place. because of this deal, iran will not the produce the highly enriched uranium and weapons based plutonium that form the raw materials necessary for a nuclear bomb. because of this deal iran will re move two-thirds of the installed centrifuges, the machines necessary the to produce highly enriched uranium for a bomb and store them under constant international supervision. iran will not use its advanced centrifuges to produce enriched uranium for the next decade. iran will get rid of 98% of the stock pile of enriched europe. to -- uranium. iran currently has a stock pile that could produce up to ten nuclear weapons. that will be reduced to a fraction of what would be required for a single weapon. this limitation will last 15 a years. because of the deal the iran will modify the core of the reactor in iraq so it will not produce weapons-grade plutonium. it has agreed to ship spent fuel from are the reactor out of the country for the lifetime of the reactor for at least the next 15 years iran will not build any new heavy water reactors. because of this deal we will, for the first time be in a position to verify all of these commitments. that means this deal is not built on trust. it is built on verification. inspectors will have 24/7 access to iran's key nuclear facilities. iran will have access to iran's entire nuclear supply chain, uranium mines, mills, conversion facility and centrifuge manufacturing and storage facilities. this ensures that iran will not be able to divert material thes ss from known facilities to covert ones. these will be if place for 25 years. because of the deal inspectors will be able to access any suspicious location. put simply the organization responsible for the inspections, the iaea will have access where necessary when necessary. that arrangement is permanent. and the iaea has an agreement with iran to get access it needs to complete its fwagsinvestigation into the past nuclear research. finally iran is permanently prohibited from purr uh suing a nuclear weapon under the nuclear nonproliferation treaty which provided the basis for the efforts to apply pressure are on iran. as iran takes steps to implement this deal it will receive relief from sanctions in place because of iran's nuclear program. both perk's own sanctions and sanctions from the united states security council. this will be phased in. iran must complete key nuclear steps before it begins to receive new sanctions re leaf. over the course of the next decade iran must abide by the deal before additional sanctions are lifteded, including five years for restrictions related to arps and eight years for restrictions relateded to ballistic missiles. all of this will be memorialized and endorsed in a new united nations security council. and there is a clear incentive for iran to follow through. er there are real consequences for for a violation. that's the deal. it has the fullbacking of the international community. congress will have an opportunity now to review the details. my administration is ready to provide extensive briefings on how this will move forward the. as the he were and congress review the deal it will be important to consider the alternative. consider what happens in a world without this deal. without this deal there is no scenario where are the world joins us in sanctioning iran until it completely dismantles its nuk already lar program. thothing we moe about the iranian government suggests it would capitulate under ta pressure and the world would not support permanently putting iran under submission. we wanted a diplomatic solution. that's what we have done. without the deal there would be no agreed upon limitations for the iranian nuclear program. iran could produce, operate and test more centrifuges. iran could fuel a reactor capable of creating plutonium for a bomb and we could not detect a covert nuclear weapons program. in other words, no deal means no lasting constraints on iran's nuclear program. such a scenario would make it more likely that other nations would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs threatening an arps race in the mostle volatile region of thor world. it would give the u.s. fewer options to prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. i have been president and commander in chief for over six years now. time and again i have faced decisions about whether or not to use military force. the gravest decision any president has to make. many times, in multile pl countries, i have decided to use force. i will never hesitate to do so when it is in our national security interest. i believe our national security interest now depends upon preventing iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon which means without a diplomatic resolution either i or a future u.s. president would face a decision about whether or not to allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon or to use our military to stop it. put simply to deal means a greaterer chance of more war in the middle east. we give up forthing by testing whether or not this problem can be solved peacefully. if in a worst case scenario iran violates the deal the same options available to me today will be available to any u.s. president in the future. i have no doubt that 10 or 15 years from now the person who holds this office will be in a far stronger position with iran further away prosecute a weapon and with the inspection s and transparency that allow us to monitor the iranian program. for this season i believe it would be irresponsible to walk away from this deal. but on such a tough issue it is important that the american people and their representatives in congress get a full opportunity to review the deal. after all, the details matter. we have had some of the finest nuclear scientists in the world working through those details and we are dealing with a country, iran that's been a sworn adversary of the united stateser for over 35 years. so i welcome a robust debate if congress on this issue and scrutiny of the details of this agreement. i will remind congress tahat you don't make deals like this with your friends. we feg yated arms control with the soviet union when that nation was committed to our destruction and those agreements made us saferer. i am confident this deal will meet the national security interests of the united states and ourle al allies. i will veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal. we do not have to accept an inevitable spiral into conflict and we certainly shouldn't seek it. precisely because the stakes are high this is not the time for politics or posturing. tough talk from washington does not solve problems. hard-nosed diplomacy, leadership that has united the world's major powers offers a more effective way to verify that iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon. that doesn't mean this deal will resolve our differences with iran. we share the concerns expressed by our friends in the middle east including israel and the gulf states about iran's use of proxies to destabilize the region. that's precisely why we are taking this step. because an iran armed with a nuclear weapon would be more destabilizing and dangerous to our friends and the world. meanwhile, we will maintain our own sanctions related to iran's support for terrorism, its ballistic miss sill program and human rights violations. we will continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen israel's security. efforts that go beyond what any american administration has done before. we will continue the work we began at camp david to elevate our partnership with the gulf states to counter threats from groups like isil. i believe we must continue to test whether or not this region which has known so much suffering, so much bloodshed, can move in a different direction. time and again i have paedmade clear to the iranian people we will be open to discussions on engagement based on puch wall respect. our differences are real. the difficult history between our nations cannot be ignored. but it is possible to change. the path of violence and rigid ideology a foreign policy based on threats to attack neighbors or eradicate israel that's a dead end, a different path one of tolerance and peaceful resolution of conflict leads to more integration into the global economy. more engagement with the international community and the ability of the iranian people to prosper and thrive. this deal offers an opportunity to move thisin a new direction. we should seize it. we have come a long way to reach this point. decades of an iranian nuclear program are, many years of sanctions and many months of intense negotiation. today i want to thank the members of congress from both parties who helped us put in place sanctions that have proven so effective and other countries wo joined in the effort. i want to thank the united kingdom, france germany, russia china, as well as the european union for our unity in this effort which showed the world can do remark arable things when we share a vision of peacefully addressing conflict. we showed what we can do when we do not split apart. finally, i want to thank the american negotiating team. we had a team of experts working for several weeks straight on this including our secretary of energy er arenie monise and i want to thank john kerry, our secretary of state, who began his service when he put on our uniform and off to war. he's making this country safer through his commitment to strong principled american diplomacy. history how america must lead not just with might but with our principles. it shows we are strongerer not when we are alone but when we bring the world together. today's announcement marks one more chapter in this pursuit of a safer and more helpful, more hopeful world. thank you. god bless you, and god bless the united states of america. >> you have been watching president obama live from the white house announcing the terms of a historic landmark deal with iran to freeze this place its nuclear program, its long pursuit of a thuker lar bomb. this is something he'll work hard to get through congress. he faces skepticism around the world already anticipating the opposition he addressed many concerns but argued this is a deal that makes the world saferer, cuts off every pathway for iran to a bomb and is not based on trust but on verification and inspections that will be vigorous. richard engel is in telaviv, israel where the prime minister has not been shy saying this is a deal that's a historic mistake, to use his words. richard? >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu has been vocal already, flooding the internet with statements in hebrew eng english and farsi saying he's opposed saying iran will receive hundreds of millions of dollars to fuel its ter are error machine, expansion and aggression in the middle east and throughout the worldment iran is about to get a safe pathway to a nuclear weapon. the israeli defense minister said this agreement is bad. it rewards deceit terror and war mongering. the thought of reaccepting the chief terrorist regime into the family of first nations is beyond belief. it is not just israel that's not convinced by the deal believes ta iran will cheat, that it will be rewarded for bad behavior. there is a similar feeling in many of the gulf countries who are experiencing a proxy war right on their borders with iran. there will be opposition to this. the israeli government said it plans to use its friends in congress to fight this deal. >> there is a fight ahead for sewer sure. the president said it's a fight he's willi

netanyahu netanyahu, the deal will go down in history. on capitol hill, the deal doesn't appear to have a lot of support in congress. in iran, the deal has been welcomed. though the country's supreme leader eye toe ya khomeini did warning this weekend that his country will oppose arrogant american foreign policy. it wasn't just the united states negotiating with iran, it was the p5plus one. the world powers of russia china, france, germany and the united states. on friday i was joined by the head of one of those powers, a key advocate, british prime minister david cameron. started by asking him, why he decided to sign off on this deal. >> because i think it's so much better than the alternative. i think that if there wasn't a deal i think we would face iran with a nuclear weapon and that would have given a terrible choice to the west of either enabling that, allowing that to happen, or a very difficult decision to take military action. this is the better outcome. it keeps iran away from a nuclear weapon. a successful negotiation for the allies and i think we should be proud of a good deal done. there are those that complain of details of the deal but fundamentally this is the toughest set of proposals put in place and verification put in place and inspection put in place that i think we've seen in any of these sorts of negotiations. i think this is a good deal. it was right to get on with it. the sanction pressure worked. i think that's all to the credit of the u.s. administration, to barack obama but also the action taken in europe, too. >> a lot of the criticism that's coming here in the united states and from some of key middle east allies of both great britain and the united states, i'm talking israel and saudi arabia in particular, is that this deal did not demand any other behavior changes in iran outside of their nuclear weapons program. it didn't demand changes in what they're doing in syria, what they're doing in yemen. essentially, the influence that they're -- undue influence they're trying to exert in the middle east. why not include all of that? >> this deal was about the nuclear issue. the right way to conclude the deal was to make it about the nuclear issue. but we shouldn't be naive or starly-eyed in any way about the regime that we're dealing with. i'm certainly not. i spoke to president rowhani yesterday and said that we want to see a change in the approach that iran takes to issues like syria and yemen and to terrorism in the region. and we want the change in behavior that should follow from that change. so we're not starry-eyed at all. and i've re-assured our gulf allies about that. but actually taking the nuclear weapon issue off the table, that is a success for america and britain and our allies and we should be clear about that. >> there was one expert here named richard haas said his biggest concern is if iran does comply with the deal for this reason -- he believes if iran complies with the deal then in 15 years they can have a nuclear weapon. what do you say to that? >> well, i don't believe that's right. actually, this deal says it's never acceptable for iran to have a nuclear weapon. obviously the time frame for which the safeguards are in place and the inspections in place is for a particular period of time. but the deal actually says it is not acceptable for iran to have a nuclear weapon. again, what we've done is make sure the timeline for them possibly getting a nuclear weapon has gotten longer, not shorter. >> prime minister netanyahu and many people in israel do not believe this makes them safer. everybody in the united states, on the obama administration has argued that it does. i heard you argue that it does, too. why is he wrong and you guys are right? >> well, i quite understand the concerns of people living in israel. you would if you had to deal with the terrorism of hamas and hezbollah, if you had the threats to your country and you know what a threat iran has been to your country. i fully understand their concerns. but i would say to my friends in israel, including the israeli prime minister, look, the threat of a nuclear-armed iran, that is now off the table. and i think that's a success. >> david cameron, prime minister of great britain, thanks for coming on "meet the press," sir. >> thank you. >> a little bit more on david cameron you can see on the website. friday i sat down with secretary of state john kerry who has been making the rounds all over the place this past week in an effort to sell the iran

minister netanyahu netanyahu has won the disagreement rather than borrowing the path to the nuclear weapon that's really paving the path. and for israel, this is an accidental issue is not just a question of building some kind of a political legacy. they are considered a moderate and they are a country that could be destroyed with one nuclear weapon while iran is much bigger. this kind of rhetoric doesn't bode well for the future. israelis argue also that the administration played a strong hand weakly as the ambassador said relieving the tension pressure on iran and downplaying the military option, and the effect of these is to release pressure on iran to not only come up with an acceptable agreement but to come up with any kind of an agreement by deadlines because it's learned time and time again the more it is to be rewarded. and israel is not alone in criticizing the steel. saudi arabia's king boycotted the white house summit camp david in may as a sign of unhappiness in the policy also was unhappy in the trajectory of the nuclear negotiations and they've let it be now they will known t

program and human rights violations. we will continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen israel's security. efforts that go beyond what any american administration has done before. we will continue the work we began at camp david to elevate our partnership with the gulf states to counter threats from groups like isil. i believe we must continue to test whether or not this region which has known so much suffering, so much bloodshed, can move in a different direction. time and again i have paedmade clear to the iranian people we will be open to discussions on engagement based on puch wall respect. our differences are real. the difficult history between our nations cannot be ignored. but it is possible to change. the path of violence and rigid ideology a foreign policy based on threats to attack neighbors or eradicate israel that's a dead end, a different path one of tolerance and peaceful resolution of conflict leads to more integration into the global economy. more engagement with the international community and the ability of the iranian people to prosper and thrive. this deal offers an opportunity to move thisin a new direction. we should seize it. we have come a long way to reach this point. decades of an iranian nuclear program are, many years of sanctions and many months of intense negotiation. today i want to thank the members of congress from both parties who helped us put in place sanctions that have proven so effective and other countries wo joined in the effort. i want to thank the united kingdom, france germany, russia china, as well as the european union for our unity in this effort which showed the world can do remark arable things when we share a vision of peacefully addressing conflict. we showed what we can do when we do not split apart. finally, i want to thank the american negotiating team. we had a team of experts working for several weeks straight on this including our secretary of energy er arenie monise and i want to thank john kerry, our secretary of state, who began his service when he put on our uniform and off to war. he's making this country safer through his commitment to strong principled american diplomacy. history how america must lead not just with might but with our principles. it shows we are strongerer not when we are alone but when we bring the world together. today's announcement marks one more chapter in this pursuit of a safer and more helpful, more hopeful world. thank you. god bless you, and god bless the united states of america. >> you have been watching president obama live from the white house announcing the terms of a historic landmark deal with iran to freeze this place its nuclear program, its long pursuit of a thuker lar bomb. this is something he'll work hard to get through congress. he faces skepticism around the world already anticipating the opposition he addressed many concerns but argued this is a deal that makes the world saferer, cuts off every pathway for iran to a bomb and is not based on trust but on verification and inspections that will be vigorous. richard engel is in telaviv, israel where the prime minister has not been shy saying this is a deal that's a historic mistake, to use his words. richard? >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu has been vocal already, flooding the internet with statements in hebrew eng english and farsi saying he's opposed saying iran will receive hundreds of millions of dollars to fuel its ter are error machine, expansion and aggression in the middle east and throughout the worldment iran is about to get a safe pathway to a nuclear weapon. the israeli defense minister said this agreement is bad. it rewards deceit terror and war mongering. the thought of reaccepting the chief terrorist regime into the family of first nations is beyond belief. it is not just israel that's not convinced by the deal believes ta iran will cheat, that it will be rewarded for bad behavior. there is a similar feeling in many of the gulf countries who are experiencing a proxy war right on their borders with iran. there will be opposition to this. the israeli government said it plans to use its friends in congress to fight this deal. >> there is a fight ahead for sewer sure. the president said it's a fight he's willi

netanyahu. it also falls to binyamin netanyahu for leaving israel marginalized and left out of the negotiations and this from the israeli newspaper writing that it will allow iran to interfere in syria, saying that sanctions will free up billions. of dollars enabling iran to prop up the bashar al-assad regime, and that the deal could reduce international criticisms of iran said roll in syria. the website of a german public broadcaster offers this tape titled the real works starts now. >> the deal is touted as historic, but more work needs to be done before it becomes history. one of the biggest hurdles is the u.s. congress. some leaders in the middle east worry that the deal could be >> reporter: with this historic iran's influence at a time the region is in crisis. >> reporter: with this historic nuclear agreement, iranians can throw all the chain of sanctions. exports are expected to sky rocked. billions in trade and invest in sectors such as oil, aviation, housing and technology. it could be pumped into the iranian economy. >> it was a gold mine. >> it has a huge population, it has an able c

netanyahu's way. >> you had netanyahu and obama talk on the deal the day was announced. netanyahu is not holding back. he's a very effective spokesman and the white house has the bully pulpit. when netanyahu said this week, this shouldn't be part of an issue. that comment is directed right at congressional democrats who will go on the record opposing this deal oral supporting this deal. it does fuft jewish democrats in particular in a tough spot. martha: everybody is watching chuck schumer obviously of new york as perhaps the leader of his part of this story in the democratic party. >> we wrote a story about schumer being in a difficult position. obviously many of his constituents probably pressing human tore vote no. schumer is going to be the democratic leader in the new congress. he does have some cover if he does back it because hillary clinton backed it. but this will be a tough vote for chuck schumer who said he will review the deal and i don't think he will be announcing his position anytime soon. martha: apparently there was some sweetening in financial form for israel tol

netanyahu has heard much more than this about the specifics of this science. how would you characterize what netanyahu said about comparing this to flushing meth down the toilet when benjamin netanyahuws everything that tom just said? >> i think netanyahu's statement is clearly misleading. the reality is it takes years to build and operate a facility to make the nuclear materials you need for a nuclear bomb. as tom was pointing out, 24 days is actually quite short on a time scale of years and it's not just a matter of flushing stuff down the toilet. it is very difficult to clean up a site in a way where inspectors can't find traces. take, for example, the case of syria. they built an illegal reactor. israel bombed the reactor. syria bulldozed the site, kept the iaea away for months but when the inspectors got there they still managed to find uranium particles even though syria bulldozed the site completely. the notion it is easy to clean up these places in a few days is just not correct. >> i want to listen to something else netanyahu said about iran being an actual threat to the united states. let's listen to that. >> we think this is not merely a threat to us. we think it is a thr

so it's a very interesting bifurcation, the effect of netanyahu and the completely ineffective netanyahu. on the larger question, you know, this is one of the huge questions, i think, you know, we have to assume, to a certain degree, that the assad regime will get bolstered, or at least greater stability, or greater instability, we'll see how they're fight with i.s.i.s. and some of the other sunni extremist groups go. one could argue that assad was slipping and that i.s.i.s. and other groups were ascending and maybe some money coming in will help them, i don't know. obviously, it's not only the iranian money that might influence these conflicts it's iranian lejet massey that also has a lot of sunni arabs worried that iran is on the march across the region. that doesn't affect israel the way it does in the gulf states and syria. but to be fair and to be fair to the president, i don't think he's overly pollyanna-ish about iran becoming a good neighbor to some of these countries anytime soon. i think he has a long-term wish that they will change and maybe this will set in motion a virtuous

netanyahu want? benjamin netanyahu wants basically other imminent confrontation with iran or wants the united states final point here jose and i'm sorry to be very provocative. i understand if the saudis say they would like to get rid of the iran ii nuclear program. israel has between 100 and 200 nuclear devices. these are not my numbers, they're american numbers. so i don't understand why the prime minister of a country that has 100 nuclear devices would like to destroy a supposedly peaceful nuclear program. iran is on record, it will never have the capacity or ability to build a nuclear bomb. it will be enshrined. this is good news. >> always a pleasure to see you. thank you for being with me this morning. >> thank you. >>> much more ahead on "the rundown." we expect to hear from hillary clinton sometime this morning. >>> back here in mexico a manhunt for one of the most dangerous drug kingpins joaquin "el chapo" guzman. when broker chris hill stays at laquinta and fires up free wi-fi, with a network that's now up to 5 times faster than before you know what he can do? let's see if he's ready. he c

deal has been a center of controversy and has become very personal between benjamin netanyahu and president obama. netanyahu the states to lobby against the president, against his foreign policy against his decision to make this iran deal. the politics obviously very centered around that and will this placate the israelis? i don't think so. i think groups in support of pollard's release will be glad to see this case is over will be supportive of the relationship for a long time and i think taking this out of the mix and not making it an issue to muddy waters will probably be the best. >> so this one person could have even the slightest influence in this do you think? >> well he's been in it for a long time. the israelis have brought up this case repeatedly. they've written letters to the justice department personally begged presidents to release him, and that just never happened. and i think really taking him out of the equation is probably going to be a lot easier going forward, no more six-hour conversations that delay negotiations for other deals. >> the details of his case are absolutely fascinating. br

netanyahu of israel. they have a profound disagreement, netanyahu and president obama on the wisdom of this deal, we've seen that. but there's no question the iranians need to see a restrengthening of the u.s. i real relationship. >> rose: we continue with al hunt on the story with presidential candidate ted cruz. >> i think this iranian nuclear deal is a catastrophic mistake. because if it goes through, if congress doesn't stop it we've got 60 days of congressional review. it's my hope we stop it f we don't, what that means the next president when he or she comes into office in january 2017. i think the odds are very high the next president is going to confront an iran on the verge of having nuclear weapons. >> rose: the iranian nuclear agreement, and ted cruz when we continue. >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by: >> rose: additional funding provided by: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: we begin this evening with our continuing coverage of the iran nuclear deal. circumstance world powers led by the united states reached a historic accord with iran yesterday that will limits its nuclear program in exchange for lifting economic sanctions. the agreement is president obama's dig es diplomatic achieve that stands to define his foreign policy leg z the battle now shifts to congress where republican lawmakers have vowed to unravel the deal during the 06 day review period. the pack has attracted opposition from america's middle east allies. they worry that it empowers iran to escalate destabling activities in the region. president obama defended the terms of the deal at a whitehouse press conference earlier today. >> the bottom line is this. this nuclear deal meets the national security interests of the united states and our allies. it prevents the most serious threat iran attaining a nuclear weapon, which would only make the other problems that iran may cause even worse. that's why this deal makes our country and the world safer and more secure. it's why the alternative no limits on iran's nuclear program, no inspections and iran is closer to a nuclear weapon, the risk of regional nuclear arms race and a greater risk of war. all that would endanger our security. that's the choice that we face. if we don't choose wisely, i believe future generations will judge us harshly for letting this moment slip away. >> rose: the president also spoke yesterday with tom friedman of the "new york times." >> we have purchased, essentially, over a decade now of international consensus to join us if we feel that iran is violating any of these agreements. but ten years from now 15 years from now the person sitting in my seat, the president of the united states, republican or democrat, is not only going to have the same capacity to take necessary military actions or to impose new sanctions. but they're going to have more insight into the program and will be better positioned and will have international legitimacy if they deal with a violation of the program. >> rose: dennis ross is a councilor and fellow at the near east policy and serves as a special assistant to president obama from 2009 to 2011. he was middle east peace envoy under republican and democratic administrations. anything burns is professor at harvard kennedy school form are undersecretary of state drafted the first sanctions of iran passed by the u.n. security council in 2006 and 2007. i been am pleased to have both of them on this program this evening. and i thank dennis for his appearance here and my colleague at fox news where he serves as a consultant for them. let me begin with a question for both of you. it is this. how difficult is it to achieve a deal like this? give or take where you may differ with it, but the huge task of doing what has been done here. dennis. >> i don't under estimate the difficulty of doing this. any multilateral negotiation even though this became basically a bilateral one was going to be complicated. given the ideology of the supreme leader given the dynamic of that country, how they look at us and how we look at them in the legacy. given the complicated nature of the issues themselves, this was bound to be a difficult negotiation. one can always question about how one negotiates. perez used to say when i was negotiating in the middle east he used to say anyone away from the table thinks they're a better negotiator than those at the table. i have no doubt about the difficulty of negotiating this. there certainly were times when i would have preferred our posture to be one that made it clear that we didn't need this deal as much as the iranians did, that the failure of diplomacy is something that would have cost them much more than us. but whether we had done everything just the way i would have preferred to do it this was still going to be a very hard negotiation and i have no illusions about how complicated and difficult it was. >> rose: nick. >> i agree with dennis. this was ten years in the making. this was all started by the bush administration. i served in that administration as a career diplomat. we tried to negotiate with iran. iran rejected those negotiations in 2006 and 2007. we then turned to sanctions. and i do see in a sense that unity between the bush and obama administrations. president obama was able to strengthen the sanctions regime, working with the european union. a lot of our allies in asia and the middle east. then he got into negotiations over the last year and-a-half. these were extraordinarily difficult negotiations if you think about it, charlie. on the one happened we had to open up the first sustained conversation between the united states and iran in 35 years. we literally had no sustained strategic communication until the autumn of 2013. so you had to deal with that dynamic. and the political sensitive tease in both tehran and the united states about that dynamic, first. second, the president had to keep his coalition together at the negotiating table, and that was russia and china. and they're not easy. they were part of the coalition that i dealt with some years ago. and then he also had to keep the europeans on side. finally he had to deal with this very difficult domestic political climate that distressed this administration by many republican leaders. it was as if the president and secretary kerry were in a three ring circus. i give them credit for having persisted. i can't imagine what john kerry broken leg, 18 days in vienna at the end came to these negotiations. he showed a lot of fortitude. so as a former negotiator dennis and i are both former negotiators, my hats off to the american team. >> rose: then the question is as the president asked this was the best way to achieve one single goal which is to stop the iranians from having a nuclear weapon. do you agree with that, dennis? >> well, i certainly agree that pursuing a diplomatic outcome is by far a better outcome than any other one, number one. number two there is no military solution to the problem. the fact is even if you use force, you can't destroy their know how or engineering capability. the question is not whether a negotiated approach would be the best way to do it, the question is whether what has been negotiated meets the standards that we really set for ourselves and really makes us safer. and i think the people in the congress should evaluate it seriously. i would suggest many people not to rush to judgment. they ought to take a very hard look at this. they ought to ask questions about it. they ought to treat it as what amounts to what it is, meaning a very serious arms control agreement. and take a hard look and ask questions and seek clarification, seek interpretations. try to understand exactly what this agreement does and what it doesn't do. >> rose: so what would you recommend them do, other than look at it. because a lot of people have already seemed to have made judgment. most of the republican candidate presidents have already spoken out against it without seeing the deal. >> i would have preferred they not do that. i would have preferred they look at it carefully. i think that there are a lot of positives in this agreement and i think there are some vulnerabilities in this agreement. and one can talk about how you try to minimize those vulnerabilities but at least you ought to take a look at the totality of the agreement where in fact it really does seem to set the iranians back, where it does buy you time. the essence of this agreement is basically deferring the iranians for 15 years you have a high level of confidence they won't have nuclear weapons. they will legit nays being a threshold state and being a weapons state is not so great. how does one deal with that. the sanctions relief after rely six months means they will have access to $150 billion in frozen accounts. it sort of strains the bounds to think they won't use some percentage of that even if it's a small percentage to provide it to hezbollah, to provide it to hamas, jihad and so forth. >> rose: that shouldn't strain it, the president said in fact they know they will use some of it for that purpose. but it is not in the end game at all comparable to the idea of stopping them from getting a nuclear weapon. >> it's true it's not. but one of the reasons if you look at the countries in the region who are america's friends, they are profoundly uneasy because they think once they have this money it frees them up to do things much more dangerous and threatening to them. here again for those who have questions bit, whether they're in the congress or they're here, what are the administration's plans to deal with that. do they have contingency languages to increase iranian spending. do they have plans for targeted economic sanctions for the europeans if we see the iranians in fact providing that kind of additional support to these groups. in other words there are issues that are opened up by this agreement both within the agreement that the congress should look at, should ask questions about and the administration should address. >> rose: nick, was this a deal you would have accepted. >> i think it's a sensible deal. and i support it. i also think it's a very difficult complex deal, with a lot of imperfections. on the positive side, i think what the president and secretary kerry have been able to negotiate is a decade-long future where around very likely will not be able to get a nuclear weapon. because all the roots to a nuclear weapon through uranium enrichment in part and whole demanded by the agreement. they're not going to have enough highly enriched uranium to have a nuclear record. they will have 300 kilograms low in rich uranium. the president said today at a facility which was their major uranium facility 24/7 infections. i think the key thing charlie is that right now the united states is saying publicly that iran is one to two months away from a nuclear capability, nuclear weapon. and this agreement will put iran a year away. and i think that is the real achievement of this negotiation. but here's the difficult side of it. and i do see the problems in this agreement. and congress is going to have to ask questions. i testified before the house foreign affairs committee yesterday for nearly four hours and got a really good sense of what's on the minds of the members. i think they're worried as they should be. will the inspection regime be effective enough. i think we have to assume that the iranians at some point are going to cheat. because that's been their history. they have lied to the united nations repeatedly about this program for 20 years. will the iaea the international atomic energy have clear line of sight on what they're doing. that's number one. number two, will we be able to reimpose sanctions should they fundamentally violate the agreement. i think that's difficult. i have no question that the europe means would be with us but i have a lot of questions about the russians, chinese and maybe even the indians and japanese who are major consumers of iranian oil and gas. that's another problem. and third is the problem that dennis ended on. the iranians are making a major push for power in the sunni world right now in iraq, syria lebanon and yemen. with sanctions released, the iranian revolutionally guard corps command has more money to so sow chaos. there's a risk in the agreement, a risk in not going forward but i think in the main this is a sensible deal for us. i think what the president did and my final point charlie the president did successfully today was to say to his critics what is your alternative. and most of the republican candidates have been saying well we should have stepped away from the negotiating table and just sanctioned them further. if we had stepped away from the negotiating table in the last six weeks or so i know what would have happened. the sanctions regime, the pressure on iran would have diminished or dissipated. the countries would have weakened and all of iran's nuclear programs would have been lifted. if that's the construct obama's deal versus this no deal option of the critics, i take obama's deal. >> rose: dennis? >> look, a lot of what nick is saying i think is something i would agree with. i guess my position on this point is i would really like some of the questions to be addressed by the administration. i would to know how they will bolster. once they are a threshold state and legitimize as a nuclear are threshold state the ability to move to the a weapon state is not that difficult and it's not that great. i think we have to create a baseline now. it isn't enough to say we'll know more in 15 years. it isn't enough to say we'll have the capabilities. we need to create the deterrent now. it needs to be a baseline that the iranians understand that the world understands, everybody is conditioned to. and then we take advantage of the 10 to 15 years that this agreement buys. there's no doubt this agreement buys you 10 to 15 years. i think one of the thing the administration should be asked is what are we going to do how are we going to take advantage of that. how are we going to take advantage of the time we buy. so i would focus on how do you address the vulnerability and the risks that are in the deal. i think what nick is saying about there's a risk with the deal, there's a risk without the deal. that's very fair and that's part of what the discussion should be between the congress and the administration. >> rose: well the president and you nick happened the advantage of seeing it and you didn't get a chance to see the press conference dennis. >> that's right i didn't see it. >> rose: the president said two things. if he didn't make this deal the sanctions regime would be over. after making that effort. and nick just made that point. but the president said that al in of times. that if he walked away from the deal they had, that the sanctions regime would fall away. secondly he made the point that if in fact a lot of these things would stay in place after the 10 to 15 years, a lot of the kinds of inspections and other restrictions they had had would stay in place. and that if in fact there were violations of that, then they could reconsider sanctions and things. am i wrong about that nick? i want to make sure i understand it as the president said it. >> that's what he focused on. i think charlie on capitol hill yesterday and just listening to members, their major focus was this managed inspection. and will the iranians have the capacity to cover up any kind of skulduggery. and the president i think addressed that and said look, he said in the existing facilities that we know about, there's going to be 24/7 inspections. this comes in if there's a covert facility that's uncovered, he said then there's a possible up to 24 day period where you jockey for position about getting in. but he said we have line of sight he said on that facility if it had been uncovered. i thought he made the best case but still congress is going to ask tough questions here. >> charlie, can i say just one point on this. part of the problem with as iran is a threshold state, the fact is after year 15, there's no limitation on the size of the program. the larger that program becomes even with the existing monitoring that will take place over time under traditional protocol, the harder it is to know everything. and so here again one of the points i'm making is, if they're going to be a threshold state if there's no limit on the size even in there's monitoring, i think the key for us is deterrence is a concept that needs to be cemented over time. the credibility deterrents need to be built over time. the steps we take over the coming years needs to reinforce it. making clear not just that all options are on the table, but saying explicitly we will not permit iran to become a nuclear weapon state. even if they are a threshold state, we will not permit them to take that leap. if we in fact pick up signs they're moving towards a weapon given that threshold status we'll act militarily to prevent it. the more you enforce those steps to make it credible the more the deterrence becomes real and more flows out of this agreement. >> rose: the president made that clear since the annunciationment of -- announcement. >> more importantly he needs to earn back the credibility of the middle east the people knows he means what he says. the president's right that the situation we're talking about is for two presidencies from now. if you think about it, the man or woman who is in the whitehouse well beyond 2025. but it's one thing to say it and it's very important to establish the baseline, we will not permit iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. but you have to have the credibility to make people think you mean it. that's how you get to strategic deterrence. with syria and assad we need to earn that credibility. >> rose: do you think the president has taken the military option off the table or he's not told explicitly to iran that in fact it's necessary to use military action to prevented them from having a nuclear weapon, the united states will use it. what is your understanding of the president that you work for in the national security council as its iran expert. >> let's no doubt in my mind that certainly in the first term it was unmistakable that when he said options were on the table and he had us work within the administration and it exists today to create the capabilities to act on all options being on the table, that this was not only something he meant. and that the rest of the world understood and accepted. i think he still means it, but i don't believe as nick was just suggesting, that necessarily it's believed. >> rose: that's a very different thing. that has to do because of senior -- syrian's red line and the crown prints of the emirates. >> perception that matters is also the iranian perception. starting about six months ago the supreme leader for the first time began to say the united states will not attack us. now he never used to say that before. owe we are dealing with deterrence of the iranians. the iranians need to understand that if me make the move it triggers this kind of response. today i think it's very important to begin to reestablish the credibility of that if in fact iran is going to be left as a threshold nuclear state. >> rose: how do we do that. >> well one way we do it is by repeating the language very clearly. another way we do it is being prepared to compete much more in the region to raise the cost of the iranians in places like syria and elsewhere. and if in fact we see them providing much more money to hezbollah, to hamas, then we begin to work with our allies in the area to counter these moves and raise the costs and when make it clear we're not going to tolerate a shifting and balance of power in the direction. the point is you not only make it clear that there's a threshold for us that won't be tolerated, but we are taking steps to give meaning to our word so everybody doesn't doubt what we say. >> rose: nick, this question. the president in talking about about these negotiations made clear that he understood the add venturism by iran. he understood the fact that iran had prisoners. he understood a lot of things that some people wish had been part of the negotiations but it was impossible to maker them part of these negotiations. and that the goal was always a very simple goal prevent iran from the ability to make a nuclear weapon. >> right. and this as you know, charlie has been a controversial aspect of these negotiations. some people believe we would have been better off having introduced some of these issues alongside the nuclear issue. i frankly think that secretary kerry and president obama made the right decision to make this only about nuclear weapons. the president referred to this in the press conference when he was admonished, i thought rudely, by a reporter who said the president with a insensitive in effect about the plight of the americans being held captive. and the president said look that wassable true, you're out of bounds. but he also said it would have been a negotiating mistake to put the american hostages issue into these negotiations because it would have given the iranians more leverage. i think he made the right call there. but i also think following what dennis just said and the question you asked, charlie, the united states can do more to strengthen our position in the middle east. two things. build up a military capacity of the gulf states saudi arabia and the others, to in effect contain iranian power in the persian gulf. and very importantly find a way and this is going to be difficult, to mend fences with prime minister netanyahu of israel. because they have a profound disagreement, netanyahu and president obama on the wiz -- wisdom of this deal. we've seen that. but they need to see a restrengthening of the israel relationship. dennis and i have both negotiated the qualitative military edge that we want israel to have versus any potential fall in the middle east. if there's more we can do to strengthen israel, we need to narrow the gap. that's just common sense de moment see for the year ahead. >> rose: i hear you. denyist deny -- dennis you know the prime minister as well and negotiated with him. the president always reminds his audience that it was the prime minister of israel who how many months ago warned that the initial agreement would not hold. and that the prime minister of israel was wrong there and he is wrong now. >> look, there is no question that the prime minister of israel feels that this is somehow subjecting israel to dramatically greater threats. to be fair to him he's not alone in israel. y

netanyahu in jerusalem. he's trying to convince netanyahu that the deal are iran will not threaten israel's security. carter also held talks in jordan today. he heads to saudi arabia on wednesday where he tries to convince gulf allies that the deal will not create further instability in the region. the parliament opted to wait 80 days before voting on the agreement. legislators say they want to study it first and wait to see if congress approves it. we have the latetress washington. >> antonio carter's goal is to make sure that the united states is ready to help deter iranian aggression if the nuclear deal results in iran being more powerful and more of a threat. >> there was the obligatory handshake and photo op as u.s.' defense chief meets with israel's prime minister, who has announced the iranian nuclear deal as a mistake of historical importance. carter met with two hours with benjamin netanyahu in jerusalem and left without any former joint statement. at his next stop, a visit to the u.s. and coalition troops carrying anti-isil airstrikes from jordan, he said that relations are rock standing. >> we have a long-standing and extremely strong partnership and common commitment to countering iranian maligned influence in this region. we don't agree on everything. the prime minister made it quite clear that he disagreed with us with respect to the nuclear deal in iran, but friends can disagree. >> carter is trying to reassure u.s. allies jordan and saudi arabia that the u.s. will continue and even increase military support to its friends in the region and not leave iran's aggressive activities unchallenged. but critics say that the fact that the u.s. is offering increased military assistance is evidence of the deal's destabilizing effects. >> now he's calling the different countries and saying we'll give you a lot more weapons. does that mean that you think that the iranians are g

netanyahu refused the offer at this point. the report says that mr. netanyahu felt accepting the overture now would be looking like he was blessing the nuclear deal. a spokesman for mr. netanyahu said he would not comment further on the substance of the phone call. >>> aid could soon be coming to debt-ridden greece. the reforms are needed before greece can receive a multi-billion-dollar bailout. some other countries need to approve the rescue plan. finland and estonia are among the parliaments meeting in the coming hours. >> if the plan is okayed then formal talks can begin between greek prime minister alexis tsipras and his credit force. the measures are not popular, of course. tempers flared as lawmakers debated the reforms, wednesday. >> and this was the scene just outside parliament, things getting violent ahead of the important vote. protesters threw fire bombs at police who responded in kind with tear gas. >>> and with more on this we turn to elinda labropoulou. she is live in athens we saw what was happening on the streets and in parliament a very difficult day for the greek prime minister. but in the end, he got the support he needed and now, of course it's all about w

netanyahu, because they have a profound disagreement, netanyahu and president obama, on this iranian nuclear deal. we need to see a strengthening of the u.s.-israel relationship. dennis and i have both evaluated the quantitative importance of this edge and there is more that we can do to strengthen and that, i think that is just common sense diplomacy for the year ahead. charlie: i hear you, and dennis, you know the israeli prime minister as well. the president always reminds his audience that it was the prime minister of israel who, how many months ago, warned that the initial agreement would not hold and that the prime minister of israel was wrong there and he is wrong in now? dennis: look, there is no question that the prime minister of israel feels that this is somehow subjecting israel to dramatically greater threats. to be fair to him, he is not alone in israel. we have seen werner herzog came out with a statement, and the statements may not take on the full character of what prime minister netanyahu saying, but they reflect that there is a profound fear that an iran that is legitimized as a nuclear threshold state could become a nuclear weapon state, and suddenly an iran could become powerful with all this money and could provide it to hezbollah and could provide 100,000 rockets to hezbollah, they could use it against israel and could provide clear monetary support to hamas, where as israel across the board, strengthening this is not an abstract threat. they feel it very directly. so nick's point is very important, but it is very important for israel to see that they are in the wedge, and this is a country where it talks about eliminating israel. last fall, the supreme leader talked about five questions on how to eliminate israel. this is very profound. having u.s. in a sense saying, whatever our differences are on this, and i think the president has said this, the president believes this deal is good not only for the united states but believes this is good for our allies, includ

netanyahu by opposition politicians is that mr. netanyahu took the wrong track, that he was antagonizing in their view mr. obama that in turn leading mr. obama to pursue this deal even further and therefore agree to certain i guess agreements with iran that he may not have otherwise. there's a lot of anger being directed here in israel at mr. knelt net for not preventing this deal from going ahead. >> the deal has gone ahead. relations are strained. what could the effects be now on this relationship going forward? >> the relationship between president obama and mr. netanyahu is well known to be frosty, to put it mildly, but the fact is, is that on many, many other layers and on many other levels, the relationship between the united states and israel is stronger than it's ever been before. while the two leaders may not exactly see eye to eye the fact of the matter is that this relation is extremely strong. in saying that, the u.s. is obviously acutely aware of israel's concerns and we understand that it is trying to address those concerns with israel. israel in the past several months has put in a request for additional arms from the united states also part of military support that it receives from the united states. we understand that the u.s. has agreed and we are talking about billions of dollars worth of military equipment, so again as we've been saying, the u.s. is certainly attuned to israel's concerns, but it's clear the white house saw this agreement with iran as more important or at least important enough to pursue it further to the fact that they

prime minister benjamin netanyahu telephoned the palestinian authority leader mahmoud abbas to condemn those responsible. pm netanyahu with shock and outrage, we condemn this. zero tolerance for terrorism wherever it comes from. we have to fight it and fight it together. reporter: the attacks sparked mass protests in gaza as well as a further afield. around 1000 people joined the muslim brotherhood in marching through the jordanian capital after friday prayers chanting anti-israeli slogans. tom: following events in jerusalem, our reporter brings us up to speed. reporter: there is an enormous true presence. checkpoints in places where they do not normally exist. there was a real timing of security and we have also seen protests, cars being burned, tires being burnt, rocks being thrown. at the moment, it is in a kind of holding pattern, but it is very volatile. people are waiting to see if israel does apprehend the perpetrators, and they are waiting to see what is the fate of the other three members of the family who were injured terribly burned in the arson attack. tom: we have been hearing some language being used by

netanyahu has been the most vocal critic of this deal of any world leader and should point out that they are not involved in any negotiations, however throughout the entire process mr. netanyahu has been extremely critical and i think it says an awful lot about how he feels about the deal given the fact before it was even formally announced that an agreement had been reached a good hour-and-a-half before mr. netanyahu made a televised address where he didn't hold back here is what he said. >> but our concern of course is that the militant islamic state of iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons and many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted and in addition iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars which will enable it to pursue the terror in the region and in the world. this is a bad mistake of historic proportions. >> a bad mistake of epic proportions as mr. netanyahu put it but he has used much stronger language in the past when talking about iran and he has compared iran to the group, the islamic state of iraq and levent and the goal is to and i quote to take over the world so again mr. netanyahu a very fierce critic of iran itself but a withering critic of this deal that has been agreed as well. >> speaking of critics there are many critics of israel who point out what they see as hyprocracy and it

ashton carter met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier today, on the agenda is the multination nuclear agreement with iran. net netanyahu has been fiercely against any deals with iran. in "time" magazine see what jfk's new extravagant pet terminal will look like. >> it is dubbed the arc and will be able to service 70,000 animals every year. there's a pool for dogs and multiple stables for your horses. >> in los angeles, police find 1200 guns and two tons of amo where a body was found dead in a car parked down the street. officials have investigating his death and whether or not his guns were link dodd any crimes. >>> massachusetts police are putting up 84 billboards throughout the state in an effort to identify baby doe. her body was discovered in a bag in boston harbor. >>> famous physicist, steven steven hawking is on a mission to communicate with aliens. his breakthrough listen project will involve sweeping the skies for signals from possible extra-terrestrial civilizations, a russian billionaire will fund the 10-year initiative. >>> good morning to you. ford is betting consumers will pay up for high-end pick-up truc

netanyahu is. nobody expected one visit to change netanyahu's attitude, but what's important to note here is that although majority of israeli's are against the deal, the reason why the opposition is against the deal is because it's worried about iran's support for militia in the region against israel increasing. but coming to the state of israel, i think the defense minister is reaching out to the opposition also in israel, which is worried about that. another reason why i think it's positive his visit relations must be improved now more than ever, because in order to confront any potential threat from iran in the region, we must have our relations to america back to where they were before the prime minister entered the crise with his congress speech. >> israel is worried about other things apart from iran getting hold of a nuclear weapon, because a lot of people are saying israel are being paranoid, iran agreed to curb its nuclear weapons, it is going to be monitored very closely from now on under the international agreement and the general consensus that israel has its own nuclear weapon. what exactly is he worried about? >> if we look at the general israeli view of the opposition and prime minister benjamin netanyahu, although they differ on addressing the issue as an iranian who lives in israel, the constant threat for elimination of the state of israel really of course all these years created a very negative image but what really change would was the new strategy of the iran regime to deny the holocaust. when you put those two together and the fact in the past iran did not live up to its commitments when it secretly had to enrichment centers that has created a very negative image of the iranian regime here, a regime which nobody believed. it is paranoia in the state of israel. i think people have a right not to trust such a regime, but he is playing politics with the game with this issue and really exploiting it. for years, he said iran is a regime which it isn't. >> the u.s. defense secretary is traveling to saudi arabia and jordan. do you think the iran deal also impacts relations between them and the u.s.? >> president obama recently hosted a summit of the leaders of the persian gulf states,

in a call today, benjamin netanyahu told the president agreement threatens the security of israel and the world. netanyahu calls it a bad mistake of historic proportions. >> the militant islamic state of iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons, and in addition, iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world. >> reporter: among the first to congratulate iran was syrian dictator bashar al assad. his civil war against his own people is largely funded by iran. he called the nuclear deal an historic turning point. it is also a golden opportunity for russia to sell more arms to iran. president putin said the world is breathing a sigh of relief, but that relief does not include saudi arabia iran's archenemy. the saudis had nothing to say but they have suggested in the past that the deal ould still lead to a nuclear arms race in the middle east. in iran, supporters of the deal raced into the streets to celebrate. and we were interested in the view of cbs news corresponden

netanyahu is very critical about this deal. he calls it a historic mistake. >> indeed, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been the most vocal and biggest critic of this deal with iran. but the fact of the matter we now have this unanimous decision by the u.n. security council supporting this deal. it's becoming increasingly difficult for mr. netanyahu to really do anything to change the outcome of this agreement. this historic agreement. >> sorry, we're breaking out of that report to bring you the iranian. ambassador speaking to the council. >> marks the shape in iran's peaceful nuclear program. the result of extensive and collective for close to two years to keep diplomacy a chance and end the result to pressure. it is a fundamentally different approach helped all us butt an end to an unnecessary crisis and accomplish major achievement for all the parties involved in the whole international community. the resolution adapted provided also for the determination of the security council resolution that unjustifybly placed sanctions on iran for its efforts to exercise it's rights. nobody has ever presented any proof indicating that iran's program has been anything but peaceful. they have consistently reported that iran has dutifully astute in every accomplishment. only the japan has bigger scrutiny than iran. iran surpassed japan in th

netanyahu to talk at any moment now. >>> we are still awaiting the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but already he's come out this morning and called this deal with iran an historic mistake. he said it's an historic mistake for the world that will allow iran to ignite its terror machine. when mr. netanyahuhind that podium of course we'll take him live. >>> let's talk about oil prices for a bit now. they're bouncing on the news of a nuclear deal. that's no surprise. prices have been steadily tumbling. what does this mean for you and me at the pump? >> it is important. this is also part of the economics of what's going on at the negotiating table. iran is a major powerhouse when it comes to energy. the sanctions over the past many many years have kept iranian oil off the global market. now that oil will be allowed to go back on the market. it comes at a time when the world is already producing more than two million barrels a day more than it's consuming. what you can expect is oil prices tumbling maybe by the fall into the $40 range. that means gas prices for you back down to maybe $2 a gallon with a great story coming up on cnn money this morning outlining what it's going to mean for gas prices. today gas prices are $2.78. a year ago they were $3.61. it could take some time before they'r

alix: president obama and prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke on the phone about the accord. earlier benjamin netanyahu made it clear that israel is against the agreement. this deal will give an unreformed, unrepentant and far-reaching terrorist regime the capacity to produce many nuclear bombs. an entire nuclear arsenal with the means to deliver it. what a stunning historic mistake. alix: speaking in a nationwide televised address above the iranian president had this to say. >> the page of the past 12 here time, which was company by the illusions from the world powers has completely turned and a new chapter has begun. this new chapter opens on the basis that the solution to problems in the world can have a shorter and less costly path as well. rouhaniesident dismissed claims that it sought to make atomic weapons under its new program matt: the bailout talks have been set for a vote tomorrow. must live the on his own coalition. the press has run into opposition from his own cabinet. introducedl, which many new issues, which speaks of 15 billion euros and guarantees oflic property, which speaks changes

netanyahu. i think this was entirely foreseeable. prime minister netanyahu has long been an opponent to this. i don't think it will endanger the relationship. this is a relationship that has weathered many crises in the path. this is the latest of a very serious one, but i think ultimately the fundamentals are there, but the fact of the matter is that on the issue of iran the u.s. and israel and they don't see eye to eye. they have different priorities. and so to some extent this is a reflection of that. >> but it's not just israel. it's other arab countries like saudi arabia, who are upset with the united states as well. is this going to strength the relationship between the saudis and the israelis? >> that has been happening behind the scenes for some time. and both countries view iran as their biggest region allen my. both have been worried and quite upset with obama's policy in the region. behind the scenes they've been coming together for a long time. but i think a strong relationship between israel and saudi arabia is going to be limited by the palestinian issue as long as that goes on, the saudis can't get too close to israel. >> let's go back to politics for a second and talk about congress. democrats who are friendly to israel and the united states, are they going to feel pressure from the prime minister to vote against this deal? >> well, certainly not only from prime minister netanyahu. it's a question as to how vocal he's going to be to try to pressure congress. they are pro israel groups who are mounting a concerted campaign particularly in with regards to try to convince them to vote against the bill. >> do you think they'll stop it? >> i don't. ultimately it's not just going to be a question whether they don't like the deal, and they may not like the deal, but whether they're willing to defeat president obama on the signature foreign policies. i think ultimately those democratic senators or enough of them will decide to support obama and not allow an override. i think this is really a losing battle on the part of netanyahu and those that support him. >> professor, good to see you again. thank you very much. >>> no. georgia tonight a memorial held for one of the five service members killed in chattanooga. friends and family gathered to mourn the youngest victims in the attack. >> there are new calls to allow military to carry guns on military soil. >> american wo

netanyahu because according to them he failed to stop this deal from happening so he is currently under a lot of pressure and as we were hearing from my colleague allen fisher in washington that mr. netanyahu and indeed israel will certainly be calling on their supporters in the united states to put as much pressure as they can on the white house to ensure that this deal doesn't happen but, again, as we have been hearing it looks all but certain that it will. >> it certainly does and we are joining you from jerusalem and we actually have a clip of what the israeli prime minister actually said and here it is. >> but our concern of course is that the militant islamic state of iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons, many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted and iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza, hundreds of millions of dollars that allow it to continue with terror in the region and the world. this is a bad mistake of stark proportions. >> and iran says they will give iran the resources to consolidate influence in the middle east and we report. >> reporter: with this historic nuclear agreement iran people can throw off th

netanyahu had a strained relationship with president obama. the discord reached a peak in march when binyamin netanyahu broke with roto cole and addressed -- protocol and addressed the u.s. congress without an invitation of the white house. israeli and u.s. relations may be tested as never before of the let's get more of the israeli perspective from a likud member of the knesset. she joins us from tel aviv. thank you for joining us. you share some, at least, of prime minister binyamin netanyahu's view that not only is the deal flawed, but negotiations towards this were destroyed. -- flawed. >> thank you for having me. i would like to say the problem is not all about israel. it's about the recession, and the problem with this agreement is around the stability of the whole region and war. we are not speaking about the western world. today it's bastille day, 14th of july, and this is the head of the other - the arab world, israel and the west on the guillotine of iran. it's not less than that. i think that the west choose to put the eggs in the basket of the shia regime. to get stability in this region. if illusion - it's illusion because we see what iran is doing, conducting state-sponsored terrorism. by proxy. in yemen, in syria, in iraq, in lebanon. and cause dodge to so many countries. it's not with the um brala of the nuclear weapon, what will be, will be the race to get the nuclear weapon in the region, and the race between sanaa radical iran, to get the influence in the we

netanyahu has quietly pursued. but at the end of the day netanyahu tends to be driven by domestic political calculations. and his partners in his coalition government and he has a very narrow coalition government some of his partners are to his right. and insist on constructing more settlements. so even as we saw some settlement -- some of the settlement you know being frozen or him not supporting settlement expansion, at the same time, we saw him cave in to the settler dmansdz, into the demands of his right wing construction of 300 new units in bae el. >> what does the prime minister nenlt need to do here you think? >> well, i think there are several steps that the government needs to take and that the prime minister in particular needs to take soon. first, i think that he and his education minister, naftali bennett of the right wing party need to allocate and increase funds in the educational budget that would support programs to fight racism in israel. secondly netanyahu should inform any of his ministers any of the knesset members that are part of his coalition that if they are going to speak out against arabs they are going to incite racism and violence that they are put on notice that he will dismiss them immediately from the government. third and most importantly there has to be a discussion about ending the occupation and promoting a two-state solution to the conflict. there hasn't been such a discussion as of late and what i would like to see is netanyahu calls president abbas up and telling him look, it's time for us to restart the peace talks on the be basis of a two state solution. >> and do you think the death of the baby could reignite those talks? >> i think it could reignite those talks but it could also start a cycle of violence and revenge and that's something that is likely to happen if we don't see bold leadership from prime minister netanyahu and president boost. abbas. >> thank you very much. >> reply pleasure. >> we are getting wor

netanyahu increasing the awake of israel and the agreement which netanyahu calls a quote historic mistake. is this a consolation prize? is it being welcomed saul by the israelis? well, we're bringing in a man who has been very critical of the iran agreement. and he is ambassador dan. he served as israelis ambassador from 2003 to 2008, and we welcome you, sir. thank you for joining us live from tel aviv. also the united nations is expected to vote next week. but first president obama offering more military aid. how do you see that? does it smooth any of the rough edges for the past couple of weeks? >> well, liz, it's good to be with you. and, yes, i am very critical. but also very worried. and i think that one thing that president obama and the american people have to understand is that prime minister netanyahu does not enjoy being the bad boy of the western world. he does not enjoy standing up against the whole world and being the canary in the coal mine. he is truly very, very anxiously worried about iran becoming nuclear and honestly believes that the deal that was struck is a deal that will not only not prevent iran from doing so, but encourage iran to become nuclear. and therefore -- i'm sure that secretary carter will be very welcomed to israel. he's a friend -- america is a friend, the american people are friends. and i believe the president means well. but i don't think prime minister netanyahu at the moment will settle for anything less than a revoking this very bad and dangerous agreement. and therefore i -- my assumption that he will listen very carefully to what he will have to say and the on going relationship and the military and the intelligence fields and security fields between israel and the u.s. but first and foremost, will try to make sure that this agreement does not go
