The latest incident in a surge of violence along the run tear. And the headline reads the Financial Times group goes for a whopping 1. 3 billion to a japanese media firm. I brent goff, good to have you with us. Could it get any tougher . Asked secretary of state john kerry who just ended months of marathon negotiations to reach an agreement with iran to limit the nuclear program. He began selling the deal on capitol hill, accusing him of being least of giving tehran a great big green light to make new year weapons. John kerry arrived ready to defend the nuclear deal. Lawmakers want to know how iran will use his newfound economic benefit if sanctions are lifted and if it can be trusted to curb its nuclear ambitions. Kerry we were Crystal Clear that we would not accept anything less than a good deal and we defined it up front as a deal that closed off forward pathways to a bomb. The uranium pathways, the plutonium pathway, and the covert pathway. We set our standard and we believe we have achieved that standard. Republican leaders have vowed to block the agreement which they say shows a fundamental misunderstanding of iran. I think you have codified a perfectly aligned pathway for iran to get a Nuclear Weapon just by abiding this agreement. Republicans are not the only ones against it. Protesters show their opposition in new yorks times where. Times square. Their history of not keeping promises and not agreeing to deals. Outright lying. It proves, to me, their character. And their character is not to be trusted. A historic agreement or a historic mistake. Congress is preparing a twomonth review before it puts it to a vote. Brent lets go to richard walker. John kerry walked in on crutches. Hes got a problem with his leg but he did not get any sympathy from the senators. Its been getting personal. Richard it had that flavor at the beginning of the meeting. Opening remarks by the Senate Foreign relations chairman. You mentioned it briefly in your introduction, that he launched into some damning comments about john kerry. Sitting just a few feet in front of him, saying he had been fleeced by the iranians. And that far from blocking any of those pathways that we just heard in the report, that he had effectively paved the pathway for iran to develop a Nuclear Weapon at a point in the future. We shouldnt be too surprised because this is a very emotive issue. Not just decades of animosity it is dealing with americas relationship with its most important out lie, one of assist in the world with israel. How best to defend it from perceived threat. It is also dealing with americas place in the world. If america has the power to bring about outcomes that it desires. Brent how persuadable are the republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and in congress . Richard i think the bottom line is that it is not persuadable. If you read between the lines and what bob corker was saying, he was referring to the fact that we have now conceded that iran can have a uranian Enrichment Program that it simply does not need first stated reasons. The bottom line appears to be iran should not be allowed to enrich uranium at all and it is a line that has long since been crossed by the rest of the five world powers involved in negotiating this deal. If that is the bottom line, they will probably never be persuaded by this deal. The politics of all this and opinion polls suggest Republican Voters are strongly against this deal and absolutely no political upside whatsoever to any republicans to grant barack obama what he hopes will be a major foreignpolicy victory. Brent richard, thank you very much. Despite what we are seeing in washington, germany appears convinced the agreement with iran will stick. One of the conditions is that trade sanctions against the country be lifted. That means the doors are open for business with tehran. The economics minister has already made a landmark visit and a trade relationship between germany and iran is not far off. Iranian businesses already have an address in berlin. 1000 square meters in the german middle east association building. It seeks to foster german commercial interest in this region. The chairwoman handed over the keys just a few days ago. Some leading iranian firms have traditionally strong ties to germany. They are interested in having a presence here. They traveled to iran this week. The first to arrive since the signing of the International New year deal. And he brought along a highlevel entourage including representatives of the association for german industry and trade. The minister made no secret to promote germanys interest. But the chairman called the trip irritating and said it is naive to believe germany can help build economic bridges between iran and israel. He defended his strict to iran pointing out that he addressed a number of contentious issues including the Death Penalty and israels right to exist. He claims that by signing the International Nuclear accord iran has earned the right to a normalization of relations. We acted in a measured and responsible measure. If iran agrees, it will be rewarded. The deal faces considerable opposition. The economics minister wants to ensure all sides will benefit from an atmosphere of growing trust and warmer relations. Brent simon is on the story tonight. It inc. On this deal was not even dry and we had the german economics dennis are flying to tehran. Why is germany so keen to do business with the country . People are wondering why they thought it was wise move quite so quickly. The reasons are twofold. There is a lot of money to be made. The president of the German Chamber of commerce traveled on that trip and says he believes german iranian trade is leading a trade partner just a few years ago. It is a very important economic relationship. He believes that reestablishing these ties is the best way to show people inside iran that they are getting the benefit of staying in the dialogue of continuing to negotiate with International Partners rather than adopting a hostile horse. If they didnt see the benefits of ending sanctions, people in iran might ask you, what was the point of offering concessions. Brent and the israel card has come into this discussion. How has this development affected germanisrael he relations . It could put some strain on them. Its no secret that the israelis dont think much of this deal. They continue to regard iran as a threat. And there are plenty of people in berlin very sensitive to the concerns of israel when it comes to any german involvement in the middle east. Criticizing the fact that iran has not recognized israel and supports armed groups in the region. Sanctions were not imposed because of those issues. Those in the concerns of israel should not be the primary reason for continuing to do so this time. Brent simon, thank you very much.

Brent it sounds ominous when you consider turkey is a member of nato. Are they able to keep out of this like . We understand the turkish president spoke at length.

They say they havent been doing enough and american officials are saying that turkey as finally agreed to washingtons request to use a crucial military airbase. It is only a few kilometers from the Syrian Border and is key to carrying the path against the islamic state. The fact that turkey has been very reluctant not to do this is because of the fear of retaliation. Brent either way you look at it it is a powder keg right now.
