and this is one of the key criticisms here that the united nations security council was able to go firsttates congress has had a chance to weigh in on this. and part of that is just because the timing and logistics of this deal. over the weekend, as you know the state department delivered the text agreement to capitol hill. that activated the deal's 60 day confessional congregationssional review period. john kerry has been out front pushing the agreement. they did the sunday talk show circuit yesterday. kerry insisted the administration is doing everything it can to address all the criticisms that are a part of the deal. for example, secureing the release of four americans detain detained or missing in iran. they're not part of the agreement. the secretary of state warned that the world will be much more dangerous without this deal. here is what he had to say. >> if congress doesn't pass this if congress were to kill this then we have no inspections. we have no sanctions. we have no ability to negotiate because i assure you the ayatollah if the united states arbitrarily and unilaterally

what is clear are a couple of things -- the first is, there is nothing that the united nations security councilthat will have an impact on sanctions that are imposed by the united states . sanctions imposed by congress by executive order. the united nation's security council has no jurisdiction over that and will have no influence over decisions made about u.s. sections. the second thing is that the way that this vote is structured actually does reflect significant deference to the united states. that is that we do anticipate that in the next few days, there will be a vote by the united nations security council but it will not be adopted for 90 days. what that means is that there is a 60 day window for congress to consider this agreement. that means that congress will have ample opportunity to do so within their 60 day window before this agreement is formally adopted after the un security council. justin. reporter: i am wondering if that means -- i know you guys don't pick its likely that congress will have a veto approved, a way to overturn the deal -- but if they were, would you go back to th

i think what i read into that, when the united nations security council voted unanimously for this deal, that kind of superseded congress, that congress can go through the motions and argue all it wants but even if it were rejected in congress -- and i guess by extension was able to override a presidential veto, too little too late. u.n. passed on it, said it's okay. they global bit body assumes preference over our national body. is that right? >> i think there's some p.r. game here, neil, where you have john kerry saying, this deal is now official. so it doesn't matter what congress does, how you vote. i think that's at the directly aimed at dem cretes who are on the fence on how they're going to vote. i think it's a p.r. element of this -- >> to what end though? to what end? if it's a p.r. move and maybe a way to join the democrats you are essentially using a your selling point the u.n. okayed it so i will. >> yes. that's right. that's why john kerry was on the sunday shows and why president obama had a big press conference because they know that there are many critics of this deal an

united states and its european partners be willing to lift the total arms embargo that the united nations security council has imposed in various stages since 2006 against iran. and the u.s. is very reluctant to do that because they believe if they lift the arms embargo it's going to further inflame what's happening in iraq what's happening in syria as the iranians have even more arms and then because of the relief of sanctions, more money to pour into the shia militia. so i think one of the big things to look for if we're looking for end of negotiation concessions will be how they resolve the question. >> rose: to appreciate the argument made by the iranians, we rebroadcast a conversation in airplane with javad zarif the foreign minister of iran, negotiator for that country meeting often with secretary of state john kerry. >> i want you and the american public to understand that it's not the sanctions that has brought iran here. we were always at the negotiating table. we were always prepared to reach a negotiated solution. it was unfortunately segments of the united states administration whobled, and un

how this deal is secured is that it is not enough to agree to global norm such as that against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. this council and all the countries of the unite nations must actually take steps to enforce global norms. in 2006 in response to iran's efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program, the united nations security council put in place one of the toughest sanctions regimes in its history which was complemented by robust sanctions imposed in the united states, several other countries and the european union. faced with iran's ongoing noncompliance, the u.n. tightened its sanctions in 2007 2008 and 2010. these sanctions regime played a critical role in helping lay the groundwork for the talks that would give rise to the jcpoa. the second lesson is one most eloquently articulated more than 50 years by president kennedy and echoed last week by president obama, quote, let us never negotiate out of fair, but let us never fear to negotiate, enquote. given the devastating human toll of war, we have a responsibility to test diplomacy. in 2010 when then u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice spoke in this chamber after the council strengthened s

the united nations security council came to a unanimous vote in favor of the iran nuclear deal.r why they think it is a bad one. prettymmer: the deal is bad, and i think they have talked about that, but i think others have not recognized the geopolitics of the deal, and while obama is trying to legitimize the plan, they are focusing on what they are weakest at. we are going to stop these guys from developing nuclear weapons green otherwise, we were going to have a war. it is quite to be eight years before they can have that. it has to be driven not by the oneicans but by the p5 plus and by the iaea, the inspectors on the ground. anchor: are they on our side? mer: they would have more bureaucratic inspections on the ground. they have to be driven by all of the signatories that were pushed to get this deal together, so iranians, there will be a lot of countries that will have to make a decision as to whether the iranians are cheating, and the russians, who want to sell arms to them, the chinese who want to buy oil from them, the europeans who want to do a lot of trading with them
