Signed. Signed. National security interests of the United States and our allies. We are reaching an agreement that is not perfect for anybody but it is what we could accomplish and it is an important achievement for all of us. The fact of the signing of this agreement does not eliminate all of the challenges. Is its the implementation that will matter. Political reaction to the deal was immediate and intense. Republican president ial candidates in the United States wasted little time sounding the alarm over the agreement. Listen to what senator Lindsey Graham told our Carol Costello about the deal and how he would approach it. I would say to the iranians we dont trust you with a Large Nuclear program because you lie and cheat. You put every arab state at risk you put israel at risk you put our country at risk. Youre taking religious nazis and empowering this regime at a time when we should be neutering this regime. This is a historically bad deal. It will throw the region into further chaos. Its taking a gasoline can and pouring it on a fire. The middle east is raging in terms of conflict now. You have taken it to a new level. At republican president ial candidate, florida senator marco rubio says the deal undermines u. S. National security. In a statement he said and im quoting now, president obama has consistently negotiated from a position of weakness giving concession after concession to a rejet stream that has american blood on its hands, holds americans hostage, and has consistently violated every agreement it ever signed. But democratic president ial candidate Hillary Clinton called this a very important moment. Based on what i know now and i will be being briefed as soon as i finished a dressing you, this is an important step in putting the lid on irans Nuclear Program. President obama says he welcomes a robust debit that the u. S. Congress over the iran deal but he also says he will veto any legislation that prevents the agreement from being put into place. House Speaker John Boehner says the president broke his promise to keep iran from enriching Nuclear Material and to dismantle Irans Nuclear infrastructure. The president has abandoned all of those goals and thats why the deal we have out there in my view from what i know thus far is unacceptable. Its going to hand a dangerous regime billions of dollars in sanctions relief while paving the way for a nuclear iran. The depthic leader in the house, the Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the iran deal historic but says and im quoting her now we have no illusions about the Iranian Regime or the destabilizing influence iran continues to have in the region we must maintain our vigilance. All options remain on the table should iran take any steps toward a Nuclear Weapon or deviate from the terms this agreement. Republican congressman Mack Thornberry is the chairman of the House Arms Services committee. Tell us why you disagree with nancy pelosi you disagree with this deal you dont like it. Well i think its always tempting for us to feel relief when a complex International Problem is solved by diplomacy. But you know history tells us that sometimes what looks good on one day doesnt look so good on future days. And so my concern here is primarily what this deal gets us. It gets us nine months. The Administration Says today that iran could have a bomb within three months. The goal of this deal is to stretch that out for a whole year. So in exchange for those nine months of extra time they get Something Like 140 billion of sanctions relief which they will use to fuel their destabilizing aggressive agenda throughout the middle east. So if you weigh it even if it goes perfectly, just the way the negotiators want it to go im not sure thats a good deal for us sorvelgts whats the alternative . What would happen if the u. S. Right now, for example, lets say i suspect it wont happen but lets say the congress, the senate and the house reject this is deal overrides the president ial veto. What would happen next . I think the better option is to keep to the goal that the president himself set out originally and that it would be to disman l and stop the iranian Nuclear Program. The goal changed in the course of these negotiations and thats historic. As a matter of fact secretary kissinger and secretary schultz wrote about that earlier this year our goals shifted from stopping their Nuclear Program to just stretching it out a bit. And so keeping the sanctions on keeping that pleasure on keeping the goal the game i think is a better outcome. When the president said its either this or war, hes trying to set up strawmen. Thats not the only option. So when secretary of state, john kerry, who negotiated this agreement, when he says for ten years the u. S. And others were imposing strict sanctions against the iranians but that didnt stop them from Going Forward with accelerating their Nuclear Program and getting to where they are right now, you say it is always possible that even with the sanctions they continue their Nuclear Program. But obviously the sanctions were having an effect. Obviously iran has been very very anxious to remove those sanctions and so i think that keeping that pressure on showing some strategic patience is a better option rather than rushing for a deal that is again, even if works perfectly only buys us an extra nine months of time. But at this point given whats happened over these last several months of negotiations, if the u. S. Were to walk away, theres no guarantee russia or china or the european allies would walk away. They might go ahead and ease their sanctions despite whatever the u. S. Does. The fact if the u. S. Imposes these sanction there is would be restricted or limited impact on the iranians right . Youre right in the sense that you cant predict or guarantee what other nations would do. And so youre also right there are a number of other factors swirling around irans strategic calculation. One of those factors is u. S. Military positioning, our Defense Budget our restricts on our efforts in iraq and all of that perceptions but about whether the u. S. Is willing to militarily stand up for our security interests. Obviously that influences iran too, in what they think they can get. So you know youre if your point is you cant turn the clock back and start over of course youre right. Still that does not say this deal and the extra nine months versus the 140 billion more to that goes into funding the houthis, hezbollah, the taliban in afghanistan, the militias in iraq, that that is a good deal. Theyre going to have a lot of cash. The young frozen iranian asset, maybe 150 billion, but then theyre going to get tens of billions of dollars more in oil exports once they really get going. Theyre the fourth largest producer of oil in the world. Theyll get a lot of money and theyll be able to use that in ways presumably the u. S. Wont be happy with but well watch whats going on. Mr. Chairman thanks for joining us. Thank you, sir. Mac on this berry is the chairman of the House Arms Services committee. President obama says this makes the world a much safer place built not on trust, he says but verification. In iran Hassan Rouhani is saying our prayers have come true. Lets bring in Global Affairs correspondent elise labott taking a look at the details. That i say the devil is in the details. Have they released the entire 100 or so page document . They have its a 50page document and another 80 pages of annexes. Both the u. S. And the iranians are offering different fact sheets of the deal but, look wolf, the deal does put significant curbs on irans program for the next 10 to 15 years depending on which aspects of the program. In return these the basic tenets, iran does get hundreds of billions in unfrozen asset, theyll be able to do business with the International Community. But when the administration looks at alternatives weve been talking about, the u. S. Walking away from a deal, the International Community ending their con seine swus the us if they were to walk away they said this is the very best deal they could get. Its not the best deal they wanted but even foreign minister zarif said today its not everything anything wanted but its a good deal for everybody. Have they released anything . Are there secret annexes or amendments that have not been released publicly . Well, that i say there arent. Are or are not . Are not. That everything has been released. Everything has been released . Nothing secret being held from the American Public or u. S. Congress. Well, thats what they say. But clearly there are going to be classified briefings in congress. They might have understandings that are written that are not written that theyre share with the congress in classified session which they couldnt share with the public so we wont know. But theres a lot of transparency in this deal not only in the text but the inspections. The inspections are very vigorous. Not as rigorous as the u. S. Would have hoped for in an ideal world but over the next 10 to 15 years. Then iran has signed certain protocols under the nonproliferation treaty that guarantee inspections for indefinitely there is a lot of transparency. Are there things we dont know about . We dont know that we dont know them. All right, elise, thanks very very much. Still to come much more on this new deal. This iran nuclear deal. Historic mistake for the world is how israels Prime Minister is describing the nuclear deal. Well tell you why. Plus not included in the deal, the release of four american citizens being held in iran. Could they soon be released back to their families in the u. S. Even though they were not part of this nuclear deal . Stand by. New bayer pro ultra omega3. Food should be good. Strawberries should sing. Lettuce should be dirty. Dressing, clean.

The true measure of this agreement is not whether it meets all the desires at the one side at the expense of the other, the test is whether or not it will leave the world safer and more secure than it would be without it. The u. S. Secretary of state john kerry speaking just a little while ago, making his Public Statement on there nuclear deal. He spent at least two years working on it in the last 17 almost 18 days straight negotiating the fine details in vienna. Our chief International Correspondent christiane a. M. Pour amanpour is joining us live from vienna. You spoke with secretary kerry and Iranian Foreign minister zarif about this deal. The strategic realignment, some are suggesting between these two countries. But tell us what you heard. For well indeed. They were the main negotiators and they have been pretty much locked up together for the better part of the last few days weeks, month, and two years. So they have really got to know each other in a way that they never had before. And that means the United States and iran has a different relationship Going Forward after this day. It is just an arms control agreement, although both president obama and president rowhani of iran talked about what might happen in the future. But when i spoke to secretary kerry he said weve got this deal but the real proof will be in the selling and implementing of it. So weve done the hard part but theres another hard part to go. And we couldnt ask about the big issues we have between us otherwise this may not have happened. Listen to what he said. We exclusively negotiated a nuclear deal because we knew that if we got into the other issues you would never get to the nuclear deal. So in iran without a Nuclear Weapon christiane i think you know this as a matter of common sense, its better to deal with than an iran with one. For those worried about irans behavior in the region we are better off pushing back or dealing with that behave gror theyre not on a path to get one and we believe we are clearly demonstrating a way in which they can not get the Nuclear Weapon. So that is the position of the Obama Administration that they have cut off a patway to a Nuclear Weapon. I asked him, of course about the strong criticism coming not just from members of congress some hardliners in iran although theyre mostly falling in line behind the Supreme Leader but also, of course, in israel americas strong strong ally in the region. He said about the criticism, he called it political and said those who criticize have an obligation to provide a real alternative. Then i sat down with javad zarif, the chief negotiator on their side and i said what did they get out of it and how did they see this Going Forward . Maybe one or two change we wanted to change the nature of our relationship with the west. We didnt believe it was good for iran and the west while we have common threats and common challenges in our region to be basically entrenching ourself in a nonissue, in an unnecessary crisis, in a fabricated crisis that has been created for almost the past almost a decade or more. More. So wolf just to sum up this is a process that started more than ten years ago under the Bush Administration and now after all those years, it has basically legitimized irans Nuclear Program, though imposing strict limits on it for a considerable period of time. Ten years in some instances, 15 years in other, 25 years of limits in other areas of this deal. For that they get a lifting of sanctions, in terms of their personal relationships, theres been so much reported about frayed tempers and people shouting. I asked both kerry and zarif whether that was true did they shout at each other. Both admitted yup, there were moments of real frayed tempers, stir craziness, groundhog day. But they both said separately that after each argument they ended the day with a smile on their faces. This is a testament to how committed they were for this diplomacy to work. Wolf . Christiane thanks very much. Two very important interviews in vienna today with the secretary of state of the United States, the foreign minister of iran. For our international viewers, by the way, christiane will have a lot more coming up at the top of the our on amanpour. Meanwhile, here in the United States zt the latest republican president ial candidate to weigh in on this nuclear deal with iran. Our chief Congressional Correspondent dana bash is joining us on the phone from charlottesville, virginia. Dana you had a chance to get trumps reaction to this agreement. What did he tell you . Well i know it wont surprise you, wolf that not unlike the other 14 republican president ial candidates out there he was incredibly critical. He said in his typical blunt terms that its a terrible deal then he said this. Take a listen. The president said its not built on trust, its built on verification. Its not true. Its absolutely not true. How do you know that . They can do whatever they want to do because i know many people involved in the negotiation. The iranians are very good negotiators. The persians are always great negotiators. They are laughing at us back in iran and why didnt we get our prisoners back . Why doesnt somebody say where are our prisoners . Nobodys talking about it. We have four people in prison that shouldnt be. Why couldnt they make that part of the deal . It would have happened quickly,sly if you had the right messenger. That should have happened earlier. That should have happened at the beginning of the negotiation. Plus were giving them billions of dollars. We shouldnt give them their money back. So youre in the white house, youre in the oval office, iran and the specter of them having a Nuclear Weapon is in front of you, what do you do . First of all, it wouldnt be that soon. Second i would havent made a deal from desperation. I would have doubled and tripled the sanctions. I would
