The Senate Senate Foreign Relations committee is chaired by senator bob corker. Todays hearing is the third in a series of hearing we are holding to evaluate the Nuclear Agreement reached between iran and six world powers. We erd about evaluating the agreement as a whole and todays hearing gives us an opportunity to look at one of the key aspects of the agreement. Sanction relief. Next week we will hear from experts on Nuclear Aspects of the deal. We thank both the guest for being here. It is worth noting real questions about sanction relief remain. On the same day the un passed the deal, iran wrote a letter to the un saying they would treat use of the snap back as grounds to walk out of the agreement. Again, i think you all know this in about 90 seconds at the un last monday and at that moment iran sent a letter refuting the ability to use snap back and that same letter outlines extension of current sanctions is in violation of the agreement. I know we had an exchange where it was ask
Produce oil in iran, so they invested that billion dollars, so they are performing under that contract, they are producing x barrels a day, and they did that after the sanctions were lifted, could they continue under that contract or not . Mr. Nephew my understanding is no. At the moment the snapback is triggered the b. P. Staff and whatever financing is still going on or Technical Assistance going on has to be stopped. The United States government will now not sanction them for having built the plant in the first place. Senator corker you agree with that . Chairman zarate im not sure. Its a question how it gets interpreted. This can be affected by the nature of the snapback if there is a tailored snapback, this could be impacted by the nature of the contract itself. There could be special purpose vehicles created to contend with this provision to ensure the continuity of the actions. I think you could have parties at the u. N. , permanent five, arguing that as long as the continued ac
Delisted is controlled by the Supreme Leader khomeini. It was designated in 2013 as the known as the eiko a group of companies, includes Gray Investment company, a couple of banks, and their investment arm which is the investment arm on the tehran stock exchange. This eiko was listed under an executive order which was not a Nuclear Related sanction but it was a sanction addressing deceptive financial practices and the risk they posed to the integrity of the International Financial system. In 2013, the u. S. Treasury designated them, along with 37 subsidiaries, stating that they continue to generate and control massive off the books investments shielded from the view of the iranian people and international regulators. Weve also talked about the amount of money that will be freed up to iran. Its been characterize being between 100 billion to 250 billion. Secretary lew spent time at the hearing last week talking about how it may be around 55 billion or so, not 100 billion. Whats the purpo
Wanted the burglary staged. This is a guy who aspired to be a hit man. She was a sitting target. Reporter didnt that mean that you can now go out and charge them all with murder right then . I have no facts. Reporter so detectives lay a trap. The hunt. Trying to play cat and mouse. He was already really paranoid about being setup and he held up a note that says are you wired. Reporter will they catch their prey . You hold your breath. Um, the world kind of stops. Reporter you never think its going to be you. Oh, no, no, no, no. Reporter no. The young man is right. In fact, this is the kind of thing that just doesnt happen to anyone. No. Never. Never would have thought i would have ever seen anything like this. Reporter no. And not here. Not in this neighborhood. In this house. But certainly not, surely not, at the very moment when at least three policemen were just outside the front door and just over the backyard wall not more than 30 feet away. We had to be told a few times just to g
So maybe thats why, one november morning a contact within the Police Department came over to me in the midst of this sort of press conference and said, you need to go to bixby now, and i was a reporter taken aback, because bixby was not a name you heard on the crime beat. So it was very clear to me something major was going on. Packed up my stuff, ran out the door, and got to the scene. Reporter the scene was in bixby knolls, quiet, affluent, leave it to beaver homes on carefully tended treelined streets. Violent crime is unheard of in bixby knolls, which is just the way they like it here. Maybe thats why if they grew up here or moved here, they rarely leave. Like rachel kerns. Everybodys very friendly. Always waving. You dont get that a lot in southern california. Reporter rachel still lives in the house she grew up in. We were able to play as kids at all hours of the day. We didnt have to worry about anyone ever hurting us or coming after us. It was a really safe neighborhood. Report
