Rowhani Doesn T News Today

Interim period, can it achieve that breakthrough, the president and secretary of state are talking about in elimination of an iranian nuclear military capability? >> well, this is an interim deal. i would quibble with the word historic deal. in 2003 and 2005, the entire iranian program was frozen. this is not that. it is according to intelligence people i have spoken to and the word of the deal, its being described as significant rollbacks, significant freezing of the iranian nuclear program as ...

Dismantling of the iranian nuclear program. if that can be achieved, thats preferable. israel always reserves the right as president obama has said, the right to defend ourselves by ourselves against possible threats. >> spokesman for the prime minister of israel, thank you so much for coming. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me, wolf. >> well have more on this historic deal just ahead. a panel of experts standing by to weigh in.

Contemptible figure. he said the word things in public that simply threatened israel. he was aggressive about the nuclear program. just absolutely contemptible. no u.s. official or european official could hold their head up seriously and have a conversation or even a negotiation under ahmadinejad. hes gone. now theres a new president who has made it very, very clear that sanctions relief and a different iran is not just sanctions relief, hes said we want an iran of moderation. no extremism. you ...

As they said must go away and no room. is there a real difference between rowhani and the foreign minister on the one hand and the supreme leader, the ayatollah, on the other. >> they are clearly part of the same system. its a system that remains anti-american. what we do see is shes willing to endorse a deal that involves constraint on the nuclear program and that leaves the world safer today. >> whats your bottom line assessment as far as the deal is concerned, does it make the world a safer p...

Wants to renege on some of these agreements, these sanctions do remain intact. i think what i would say is that if it took marathon diplomacy to reach only an interim deal to reach a final resolution to this it will resemble an ultramarathon through mine fields. difficult to reach a resolution. >> why not give peace a chance? >> i think we have been giving peace a chance. the europeans have been trying to engage the iranians enthusiastically since 1992 and guess what? they discovered it didnt re...

Iranian people a better deal. a better life. yes, the sanctions have had an impact. however, intelligence people and us with our own eyes and you all have seen that sanctions, even toughest in the world, have not brought iran to cry uncle in terms of its nuclear program. its not caused iran to capitulate or surrender whatever term is a term of art in terms of nuclear program and even this interim deal, iran wants to continue having a nuclear program. the ultimate goal for iran is to how that wil...

Attain that goal. ultimately we want to see the iranian nuclear military program dismantled. thats the goal. frankly were not sure this deal accomplishes that. >> heres the president speaking last night, late last night, from the white house. heres president obama. listen to this. >> the resolve of the united states will remain firm as will our commitments to our friends and allies. particularly israel and our gulf partners who have good reason to be skeptical about irans intentions. only diplom...

Rowhani needs it in many respects more than the international community does. >> many understands why israelis are not happy with this. saudis hate it as well. united arab emirates and other gulf states arent comfortable with the united states and other permanent members of the security council and germany have done. explain why they dont like this deal? >> its an important point. its different from where israelis are. at the end of the day you heard him say israelis could accept a diplomatic so...
