Thank you. So we have been hearing there from the eu Foreign Policy there and the iran foreign minister zarif, two players in the negotiations and they are saying this wasnt a perfect deal but it could be the start of a new chapter of hope james base has been monitoring all of this for us in vienna. James, this is pretty much what we expected and then they will be going into a private session to formally take up this deal. What do we know so far about what is inside it . Well we certainly have some details about what is inside it but they worked on this for a very long time and i can tell you its over 100 pages long and there are five different annexes attached to the deal, they were doing the detail on this until the Early Morning and there were sticking points until the end and you heard dr. Zarif there say today could have been the hope in his view if they hadnt signed the deal but they are as they are ratifying it and it passes the deal and there is another important step that they want and that is for the deal to go. We think very soon this month and probably as soon as a week or so to the u. N. Security council where it will be ratified there and the u. N. Security council if they pass a resolution that makes it into national law and the comments there that we heard that took place interestingly in the u. N. And the current process of the rebooted process started actually at the u. N. In geneva and rather fitting in the u. N. And this is an analyst who has followed every twist and turn of this process and first very quickly your reaction to the fact there is a deal. I think we are all very fortunate we had the opportunity to witness history and not many people had the opportunity to do that in their lifetime and if they are not able to fulfill their end of the bargain then its a security achievement. You have been to briefings and from what we have learned from briefings and speaking to diplomates and other information tell me how they have sold the sticking points and the two main sticking points were the Security Council sanctions and lifting the sanctions on iran and the access for inspectors on the ground and lets start with the first one, will the inspectors as some demanded be able to go anywhere, any time. And its not the principle that will be applied here and its going to be called managed access and there there be an adjudication process that lasts anywhere between 3565 days where they can discuss access to a particular site and justification for access and a vote for majority rules and its democratic from what we have heard so far about what managed access will work regarding the proliferation treaty above and beyond what they will adhere to. The sanctions, tell us about how they resolved the final problem there i think which was the issue of irans arms embargo and the issue of irans missiles which are mainly conventional issues and could potentially be used for a war head and iran wanted them lifted straight away. Iran said we have no problem putting limitations on arms we export or import as long as there is a beginning, a middle and an end to those limitations so the duration of those limitations will be in years but precisely because there is an end to the process there will not be an arms embargo indefinitely at any security resolution and it will be cod codified in the resolution or nonbinding and between countries and we are not sure which one just yet. When we are in various locations where the talks took place in washington d. C. And you know the views on capitol hill and from parts of the arab world and israel and having heard the views this deal is not going to satisfy everyone. No deal ever does and the good fortune in washington is that most people will say they will release the deal in its entirety so everybody around the world will be able to look and scrutinize it and when president obama takes it to the hill this is something he can win and he will win like healthcare and appealing to america rather than to the senators and congressman. And zarif and rohani who will address the people soon do they have a hard sell as well . On iran side its different because Iran Parliament aseeded the council and have spoken out in favor of the deal and its more of a cumbersome process in washington than tehran. Thank you very much for joining us here on al jazeera as we dissect a deal a deal we dont actually have in our possession yet, we dont have copies with all the details but we are speaking to numerous diplomates. Remember there are seven different delegations and governments that have been negotiating and trying to pick as many details as we can out of this deal before we actually get the formal documents. All right, for the moment james base joining us live from vienna and confirmation of the deal on Irans Nuclear program and i want to tell you a few details about what we are getting on what is inside that deal. We are hearing that sanctions on irans sanctions obviously a major issue for irans economy and hearing sanctions on the countrys bank the National Iran oil company and shipping lines and many other institutions will be lifted under this deal that was expected, this coming from Iran State News Agency and saying billions of dollars in irans frozen assets to be released under this deal with the powers other details coming up, which we are hoping to hear as well but lots of reaction to come on this not the least of which is likely to be from washington where we will go live to now and allen fisher is standing by there and its still in the early hours of the morning there allen and many people waking up to this news what are lawmakers likely to be saying about this . Its hard to make a sweeping statement and many republicans are against this deal and said they are against the deal and scott walker became the latest candidate for the nomination and said when he was running for president 12 hours ago and at the state house if elected he would kill the deal and the problem with barack obama is there will be a massive effort against the bill and netanyahu said he will do what he can to kill the bill and activating allies on capitol hill in washington d. C. Activating lobby groups to fight against the bill and take the message to the people saying this is a bad deal for them and what barack obama has in his favor is 150 democrats and why is that good . If there is any bill that goes to congress in the United States which says you cant lift sanctions and cant do a deal with iran and it will go to barack obama and he will veto it and congress can over ride a veto if he has votes but he has around 150 congress men and women saying no this deal has to go through, its a good idea and its good what america is doing and shows that positive engagement works and seen as a significant part of the obama legacy and therefore he is probably got enough votes to get this through. So the idea that congress will kill this bill i think is highly unlikely but it wont stop very vocal opposition to this bill particularly from republicans who have been weary about the process and said they want to kill the bill before they see details so its going to be an interesting battle over the next 60 days here in the u. S. Allen fisher live for us there from washington and lots more reaction we are expecting from the u. S. Over the coming hours on this historic agreement, this agreement of course marks a significant turning point in irans relationship with the u. S. Which for decades was characterized by deception and miss trust and both countries realized the importance of putting away hostilities with a nuclear deal and tom ackerman reports. I do believe there is a resolution. Reporter barack obama after his 2013 to iran president rohani the First Contact by the leaders in decades, improvement in relations between iran and the u. S. A relationship cemented in the cold war year of 1953 when the u. S. With britain engineered the over throw of the democratically elected Prime Minister. The shaw restores to the throne and ruled as a brutal monarch for the next 26 years until he was ousted in 1979 by followers of the homani and he called the u. S. The great satin for supporting the shaw and stoked revenge and held diplomates and hostages for 144 days. The actions by the radical students was a key element in intensifying a strain in relations and the hostility with which iran rhetoric has addressed the u. S. Reporter hostages eventually released on january 20, 1981 the day that Ronald Reagan took office a final snub to jimmy carter who tried a rescue attempt and sanctions against iran and billions against arms and intelligence with sadamhussain and a down ing of this missile killing all aboard and its a consequence of fighting with iran forces in the gulf and hezbollah, the proxy in lebanon took more american hostages and led to another political scandal in washington and reagans secret program to funnel arms to iran in exchange for their freedom and its build up to the 2003 invasion of iraq and president george bush branded it with iraq and korea as a global menace. States like these and allies constitute an axis of evil. Reporter irans leader has maintained the hostile rhetoric against the u. S. Always backing up this insecurity and its america and their agents. It is they who promote terrorism. Today americans concern about their Nuclear Program with the islamic republican ambitions across the northwest. Inspires to a major role and put iran and the u. S. At cross heads on many major regional issues. Reporter yet the u. S. And ran find themselves in common cause against the taliban in afghanistan and now against i. S. I. L. But that does not mean their differences have been bridged, tom ackerman al jazeera, washington. Foreign policy chief federicka gave her statement on that and here is what she had to say. Its a decision that can open the way to a new chapter in International Relations and show that diplomacy, coordination cooperation can overcome decades of tensions and confrontations i think this is a sign of hope for the entire world and we will know that it is very much needed in these times. Let me begin by expressing my appreciation to everybody, to those who started this process and those who have continued this process in order to reach a winwin solution on what in our view was an unnecessary crisis and open new horizons for dealing with Serious Problems that affect our international community. I believe this is a historic moment. 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. Today could have been the end of hope on this issue but now we are starting a new chapter of hope and lets build on that and lets consider this everybodys achievement. To the main players there involved in this deal giving their statement on the iran Nuclear Program and hearing from zarif the foreign minister and neighborhoods following the talks in jee enthat especially israel and saudi arabia and israel is suspicious of iran intentions and has been throughout and worried the country could be capable of developing a nuclear bomb even after this deal and saudi arabia wants sanctions to remain in place and says a stronger iran economy will mean more iran interference in lebanon and iraq and could be a goal for states and its a large trading point with them and the other side of the gulf. And we are live in jerusalem and has been following the israeli reaction to all of this and not surprisingly the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not impressed with this deal pretty unequivocal in his reaction. Indeed very unequivocal and really says a lot about how mr. Netanyahu feels about the deal, the fact he made a televised statement criticizing this agreement that has been reached by these foreign powers and iran. Before this announcement, before the deal was publically announced now what mr. Netanyahu said, he said that this deal effectively gives, and i quote, iran a short path to a Nuclear Weapon and he also said it would ensure that iran receives hundreds of billions of dollars to and i quote spread terrorism and said this was a bad mistake of historical proportions and levelling a lot of criticism against the deal the deal he has been the most focal critic about since the talks began. It will be interesting to see we will have a larger public reaction to this and obviously the israeli Prime Minister has a lot of support and his starts on this deal but what has been the kind of general reaction from the public to this and how are they likely to see this . Its really interesting and iran sort of occupies this space in the psyche and obviously when you have a Prime Minister Like Netanyahu who has been a public figure in israel for many many years and has been Prime Minister now four times and throughout his career he has consistently reiterated the threat of iran and now here we have it his fourth term as Prime Minister and not consecutive but serving as Prime Minister he is now despite his criticism and despite the fact he traveled to the United States and in opposition to the white house to make an address to the White White House to criticize this deal and here we have a deal that has been agreed and widely seen as a deal that is going to be part of president obamas lasting Foreign Policy legacy. What is interesting here in israel is that opposition politicians are fiercely criticizing mr. Netanyahu because according to them he failed to stop this deal from happening so he is currently under a lot of pressure and as we were hearing from my colleague allen fisher in washington that mr. Netanyahu and indeed israel will certainly be calling on their supporters in the United States to put as much pressure as they can on the white house to ensure that this deal doesnt happen but, again, as we have been hearing it looks all but certain that it will. It certainly does and we are joining you from jerusalem and we actually have a clip of what the israeli Prime Minister actually said and here it is. But our concern of course is that the militant Islamic State of iran is going to receive a sure path to Nuclear Weapons, many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted and iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza, hundreds of millions of dollars that allow it to continue with terror in the region and the world. This is a bad mistake of stark proportions. And iran says they will give iran the resources to consolidate influence in the middle east and we report. Reporter with this Historic Nuclear Agreement iran people can throw off the decade long of sanctions and experts are expected to sky rocket and billions of dollars in trade and investment in sectors such as oil, Aviation Technology and housing could be pumped into the iran economy. Iran is a gold mine with a Huge Population and a very able citizenry that can work and be creative and do more than just manual labor, it has a strong regional regional links and it has years and years of missed opportunities to makeup for. It could be a new era for iran in terms of a reconfigured role and with the sanctions irans influence only grew and currently iran is the main shia power broker in the middle east and war in yemen its backing the rebel houthis who pushed the president in exile and the president and allies are drawing support from a saudiled coalition. Saudi arabia is irans primary rival in the region and has been a constant critic of any nuclear deal. Reporter iran has also extended its reach in iraq its training and advising shia fighters in the battle against i. S. I. L. And propping up a government with money, weapons and man power. The shia armed Group Hezbollah also sent fighters to the syrian front lines and they say if saudi arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council continue to take a hard line stance irans influence could be contained somewhat. It would expand vastly in economic fields and technological fields and they are advanced technologically and social and cultural and tourism and education and things like that. And the back of that you will get a Strong Political new relationships. Reporter now that the u. S. And iran have reached a datont after years of being enemies irans position is expected to shift in the middle east exactly how cant be predicted. Al jazeera. So as you have been hearing there a deal that is likely to have implications across the middle east emrankaan is in iraqky capitol baghdad and how are they likely to view this agreement . I can tell you there is a real sense of relief there is a deal of this kind of proportion and a real fear here a the americans and the west would not be able to come to an agreement with iran and that would impact here in iraq but now this agreement has likely been reached and looks like the agreement will pass and there is a real sense of relief and the americans and iran anti rack ky and they are fighting on the ground here so iraqis are stuck in the middle between the sides and the fear was if no agreement was reached then iraqis simply would go with their natural allies which are the irans and they have always been there since the invasion and occupation in 2003 but now this has been reached there is this real sense of relief particularly from the shialed government and not much from sunnis and kurds and im sure it will come in the coming hours or so but from the shialed government and analysts i have spoken to there is a sense of relief and this may help the relationship between the irans and americans when it comes to fighting i. S. I. L. In iraq. With the u. S. Going forward how is that likely to affect things . Here is the deal, what we have in iraq is a situation with the iran people on the same side and you
