Youre watching the news hour live from a headquarters in doha im getting an alligator coming up in the next sixty minutes ive judged this course of action should be in the best interests of the United States of america and the pursuit of peace between israel and the palestinians a long overdue step thats the view of the u. S. President as he ignores International Warnings and officially recognizes jerusalem as israels capital. Doesnt trump. Thank you for todays historic decision to recognize jerusalem as israels couple gratitude from the israeli Prime Minister and a promise of status quo at the holy sites. Palestinians protest against the move their leaders in the occupied west bank and gaza call for three days afraid. And.

International understanding to try to stop iran from having a Nuclear Weapon and that is a different circumstance. So in the development of where the iaea was going thisey did come to us for Technical Expertise as they did every other member and in a classified briefing this afternoon i will share with you everything i know about this. Let me ask im also very grateful that the director general on his own cognizance is meeting with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in an informal setting which is extremely unusual because every other country sort of wonders why he is. Did i understand you to say to senator corker that you personally did not see the final document . No. I said i was shown documents that i believe to be the final documents but whether, in fact, there are any further discussions what this is about, senator, are the modalities, the technical modalities that the iaea uses. And i will share with you this afternoon in a classified setting every single thing i know about t
Coalition. And we quite critical will be following up on a daily basis to make sure these strategies and efforts go forward. Secretary carter was recently in israel. Ady to discuss further enhancements to security assistance. We have a high degree of confidence that it is 50 billion. The reason the 100 billion figure has been out there is billion inare 100 foreign reserves that have been an excessive will. Some of that has been due to the sanctions, some of it because it is obligated, and some of it has been spent. It on the books, but it is not there. The funds that have been spent and are not there cant be recovered, even when sanctions are lifted. What remains is about 50 billion to come back to iran. With that, one needs to keep the spective that are regarding what they need. A final point that i want to add that 500 billion hole would be required to get the oil sector up and producing so they could bring the wealth into the country that they aspire to . Their oil minister has stat
Disapproval. The president of the u. S. Then has the right and the authority to exercise his veto, if you he wants, and i would expect that he would. Then the u. S. Congress has the right to override that veto. Thats how our system works. I would hope the u. S. Congress would not override that veto, because i believe that this plan is the most profound, the most farreaching arms agreement ever negotiated and that will keep this country, israel, and our allies safer. Senator thank you, but what i am asking is, if the congress did override that veto, why would it matter to the iranians . What would they lose . Undersec.

They would lose their opportunity to come into the community of nations. They may not care about that. And what i would expect is that if the u. S. Congress overwrites a president ial veto, which i would not expect that to hap
Three days. So it could be 24 days or as short as 13 days. Would it be permissible to address the snap back aspect . At the discretion of the chairman. Youre next. I will take my time and ask quickly to respond to the question. Thank you. I just wanted to speak to one of the premises behind your question. First, i absolutely agree that the more likely scenario we see is small breach is a testing, sticking a toe across the line. And what we need to do then is hit iran in a proportionate way show them that has consequences. Otherwise were asking for larger breaches. And we have to be very serious about that. We have been very clear with our partners we will be serious about that. But there is a premise that ive heard circulating that after the initial sanctions relief iran can somehow immunize itself to further pressure. Therefore it wont care about snap back. That is simply not the case. Irans foreign reserves cant be put in a vault or a mattress in iran in the form of gold or bills. Th
