Animosity have not, comprehensive longterm deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a new or weapon. President obama it is important that the American People and the representatives in congress get a full opportunity to review the deal. After all come the details matter. Weve had some of the finest Nuclear Scientists in the world working through it. We are dealing with a country that has been a sworn adversary of the United States for over 35 years. So i welcome a robust debate in and i welcome scrutiny on the details of this agreement. Charlie joining me is inroads ben rhodes. Thank you, and congratulations. Ben good to be here, charlie. Were making it a tradition. Charlie what to do not get that you wanted in this agreement . The president said its a triumph of diplomacy negotiations were give and take. What did you think you wanted that you didnt get . Ben we got the bottom lines from the framework, all the limitations we were seeking on the iranian nuke program, all the t
End, together with the other Nuclear Related sanctions. We wanted to preserve those for as long as we could during that tenyear period, and we have a fiveyear restriction with respect to an arms embargo, and were continuing to work to limit their activities in those spaces.

What if youre wrong. What if in fact they will. There is a hard line as you pointed out in teheran. They are licking their chops to see this agreements falling apart. I think from all of the elements in iran they want this agreement because it is so good for them economically and it strengthens their position in the middle east.

I cant predict with certainty anymore than anybody can whatll happen if Congress Rejects the agreement. I can just say from what i have seen this morning and based on what i saw come out of lozan in april, this disagreement has more risk for the u. S. And more reward for iran than i hoped it wo
