. >>> now, here to analyze and debate the deal, christiane amanpour and martha raddatz, richard haass and bill kristol. thanks to all of you. christiane, let me begin with you, we just heard that report from tehran, there's no question that leading up to this agreement that the pressure was really starting to build inside iran because of the sanctions and president rouhani elected in part to get that relief. >> that's absolutely right. anecdotely, when the foreign minister came into the press conference in geneva to announce the deal, there was a huge cheer for the iranian reporters showing you how much they wanted this to happen. this has hurt the iranian people very, very much, not so much the regime. i think what you just heard from senator chambliss and others and secretary kerry, here's the deal about sanctions, and i think we should be very clear about this, this is what the facts have shown. they have hurt iran and the economy and the people and were a long way to why rouhani got elected. but sanctions have not stopped iran from continuing its nuclear program. you heard what se

i want to point to something richard haass wrote. the accord is better understood as a ceiling than a freeze. it establishes a level of npgs that is far more intrusive than what existed of the net result will be to slow iran's progress towards nuclear weapons capability, increasing the time and warning the world would have between any iranian decision to produce nuclear weapons and when it would actually achieve that goal. ayman, i take that time line to you because we're looking at a congress that seems to think it should set the next deadline. what is the international view of the next six months? >> the way i've heard it described, this is not an event, an agreement, this is a process. what you have unfolding is the progress. a timetable over the course of the six months, if there is compliance by both sides an opportunity for a comprehensive agreement. by no means is the united states or even iran for that matter trying to say this is the end. in fact, the iranian foreign minister upon returning to tehran says this is the beginni

richard haass still with us as well along with willie, joe and me. >> dan's here. ere is done. richard, you want to -- i'm sorry, mika. >> you want to attack? >> you want to viciously attack? >> this is the must-read opinion pages. this is where we read a must read and then comment on it. okay. >> a new thing we're trying. >> andrea is with us as well. great. "financial times," you've got the lead piece today. david gardner yesterday. thought it was interesting. it's not just the alternative to a formula to constrain iran's thuk leer ambitions is a war that could spread across the region. it is that an iran with a stake in solving the problems of the middle east rather than incentives to destable it, could be transformative. resocializing iran into mainstream geopolitics would be every bit a historic for president obama as american rapprochement with china was under president richard nixon. in the no holds barred wrestle with mr. netanyahu that will follow any iran deal mr. obama should suggest the israeli premier spend lime time drawing red lines for america's posi

richard haass, thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> coming up on "the lead," as we just talked about, the one thing missing from that deal with iran, freedom for an american pastor in prison there for the last 18 months. the question is, was he forgotten? i will speak to his wife. >>> first, two football players have already been convicted of rape, but did school officials in steubenville, ohio know more than they admitted? we'll have all that and more. my asthma's under control. i get out a lot... except when it's too cold. like the last three weekends. asthma doesn't affect my job... you missed the meeting again last week! it doesn't affect my family. your coughing woke me up again. i wish you'd take me to the park. i don't use my rescue inhaler a lot... depends on what you mean by a lot. coping with asthma isn't controlling it. test your level of control at asthma.com, then talk to your doctor. there may be more you could do for your asthma. >>> welcome back to "the lead." in national news, new cha
