Is keeping its nuclear program. by not dismantling irans nuclear program, in a decade this deal will give an unreformed unrepentant and far richer terrorist regime the capacity to produce many nuclear bombs, in fact an entire nuclear arsenal with a means to deliver it. what a stunning historic mistake. >> reporter: what we heard today from the iranian foreign minister was a repudiation and reaction to that. he says that irans never been after the m bo. he says doesnt matter how many pathways to ...

But most importantly, this agreement addresses irans potential pathways to thistle material for a bomb exactly as we said it would. with appropriate limitations and transparency in order to assure the world of the peaceful nature of irans nuclear program. now, let me explain exactly how it will accomplish that goal. to start, the participants have agreed iran will not produce or acquire either highly enriched uranium or weapons-grade plutonium for at least the next 15 years and iran declares a l...

But from our understanding its something they have done in the 2000s which means they would be caught in a lie. and the supreme leader has said having nuclear weapons is against islam. for him to admit they are doing something on the nuclear side is a loss of face. >> they are two pretty big issues arent they? >> right. >> from what were hearing this iran nuclear deal is about 100 pages long. thats a very long deal. and were talking about a lot of detail. what do you think will be included in th...

Being met by iran. that doesnt have a robust and effective inspections regime and that doesnt prevent or freeze the pathways towards a nuclear weapon. we discussed this in some more detail but essentially the top line message he was giving to us was he will not sign a bad deal and he will expect us to not support a bad deal. for many of us who have had concerns in press reports and based on conversations that have been going on in iran it was quite reassuring. >> well, what about the possibility...

>> what is the holdup? weve been hearing from government officials like yourself but tell us what the general sticking points are here. is it breakout sometime? sanctions? what is it? >> well theres not just one sticking point. when you get such a complicated technical agreement, every single piece has to come together. we always knew these would be the toughest issues. the toughest issues even come down to the very end. we have to be assured the steps are -- cuts off the pathways to a nuclear w...
