The president of the united states believes this makes israel safer. we think it endangers, it threatens the survival of israel. this is the spectrum between right and wrong. every with unin israel thinks this is a bad deal and our arab neighbors think this is a bad deal. when arabs and israelis agree, people should pay attention. and those who are most in danger, those who are most vulnerable, we live there. >> is there any way the iran can be a nuclear country in your opinion? >> well, we woul...

Arms shipments by iran. one of those mechanisms is the u.n. security resolution related to irans nuclear program. essentially, iran was sanctioned because of what had happened at fordo. its unwillingness to comply with previous u.n. security resolutions about their nuclear program, and as part of the package of sanctions that was slapped on them the issue of arms and ballistic missiles were included. now, under the terms of the original u.n. resolution the fact is that once a -- an agreement -- ...

U.s. >> what a stunning historic mistake. >> reporter: and it faces a challenge in congress as well. >> it is going to hand a dangerous regime billions of dollars of sanctions relief. >> reporter: secretary kerry touted the success of the interim agreement in freezing irans nuclear program. >> we were told by skeptics we were making the mistake of a lifetime that iran would never comply that this was a terrible agreement. but you know what? they were dead wrong. >> reporter: this is a remarkable...

Irans nuclear program went from basically zero centrifuges to more than 6,000 by the time he left office. under this president, while the sanctions got tougher, but the goal of the sanction became not capitulation, while we called them the axis of evil, that was not going to work. the goal under president barack obama was to use those sanctions to, instead, get iran to talk. to get them to the table to negotiate. it worked. they came to the table, and they negotiated for 20 straight months. late...

Details right. at the same time as this debate unfolds, i hope we dont lose sight of the larger picture. the opportunity that this agreement represents. as we go forward, its important for everybody to remember the alternative and the fundamental choice that this moment represents. with this deal we cut off every single one of irans pathways to a nuclear program. a nuclear weapons program. and irans nuclear program will be under severe limits for many years. without a deal those pathways remain ...

Contain irans nuclear program. he talked about the global consensus for all of this but this is a president who clearly is relishing this fight, and he sounded much more like a teacher teaching you know nuclear disarmament 101 at times than -- than somebody who was going to have to negotiate with congress but he -- this is a president who is deeply involved in these negotiations as can you tell and wanted to get into the weeds to the extent that he asked himself the weedy questions when the repo...

And make the other problems that iran may cause even worse. this deal makes our country and world more safer and secure. and the alternative, no limits on irans nuclear program and inspections and iran closer to a nuclear program and a risk of nuclear arms race and risk of war all that endangers our security. thats the choice we face. future generations will judge us harshly for letting the moment slip away x. no one suggests that the deal resolves all of the threats that iran poses to the neigh...

The hard line is iran scored a tremendous victory because theyre giving their yellow cake, can have it and eat it too. >> do you think the president is being naive? based on your arguments, do you think hes being naive? >> i think we have an honest disagreement. i think the question, really is what is the nature of the israel regime? i thought the right deal would have lifted restrictions on irans nuclear program only if we saw a perceptible change in irans behavior. thats essentially what i sai...

Prevent this from happening again. lets come up with a better deal. >> the next hot topic is iran. president obama gloating about victory. and the headlines, obama winning streak continues with iran deal. obviously in the presidents defense, the fact of the matter is this deal does restrict irans nuclear program. i think the criticism thats not breaking through is that there are a lot of ifs buts, caveats to that. by only restricting and not stopping irans nuclear program, some allies like israe...
