The sanctions even arms embargoes and even missile sanctions as stipulated by the resolution, they will all be lifted. And all the financial and banking sanctions related to insurance, transportation, and sanctions related to refineries and valuable minerals, Precious Metals and all the economic sanctions will be fully lifted. They will be lifted. Not suspended. And even the arms embargo will be eliminated and there will be a sort of limitation for five years, and it will be lifted and speaking of commodities or dual use commodities or goods, there will be a committee that will be looked into by the committee and in this way regarding the u. N. s resolution, they said that how can we annul a resolution that has not been implemented . They told us to implement the resolutions for six months and in this way the resolutions will be annulled. Based on todays deal in the upcoming days when the deal has been endorsed by u. N. S. C. , all the previous six resolutions will be annulled. And also regarding the Nuclear Dossier of iran, in order to take it out of the unsc, they said that the iaea should present a report that will include a 20year period 15year period, but today without regard considering report by the iaea, after the implementation of the deal, that will be taken out of the unsc after 10 years. We may be asked whether this deal is based upon confidence and trust, and if it was the case, then we would there was no need for 23 months of negotiations and we had 18 nights of continuous negotiations. Speaking of trust, the implementation of this deal will be the starting point for a test. If the deal precisely implemented every step of the implementation of this deal can gradually eliminate mistrust and its quite clear that based on we are going to start to proceed by closely monitoring the implementation of the deal and of course countries that have a very bad record. Some of these countries have a very bad record concerning iran. And some do not have a good record concerning iran. Of course this is a mutual deal, reciprocal deal. We have already examined such deals that was actually of interim agreement reached in geneva, and regarding the final deal, today implementation of the deal is reciprocal. If they abide adhere to this deal we will also comply with it. The iranian nation has always shown that, always fulfilled its promise. In the course of history and we will fulfill our promise provided that the other party would also fulfill its promises. Of course several stages and steps with respect to the deal today was actually the first stage. That means only seven countries have agreed. And they have actually agreed with full text and the annexes of the deal. Speaking of the implementation in the days to come, the text of the deal and also the text that has been prepared for the unsc has to be endorsed by the u. N. Security council, based on not chapter 7 and in case annulment of previous resolutions based on article 41. Later, there are stages in other countries and stages to continue and after determination of these stages on a day, that is the day known as the day of agreement, in fact the day was the day of joint statement, several days later when the u. N. Or the unsc endorses the statement that will be the day of finalizing the agreement after approximately two months we will reach that day of agreement and the day of agreement is a day when e. U. And the u. S. Will openly and now and declare the lifting of all sanctions and then will announce the decisions. From that day irans measures will begin and these measures will be accompanied with their executive actions for the lifting of the sanctions. Thats going to take up some time. That may also take two months. That will be the day of the implementation of the deal. So several months from now we will have the day for the full implementation of the deal. We have these stages before us and of course this is the most important day in the past 12 years. Today is a day that historically speaking major world countries and powers have recognized Irans Nuclear program. Todays the day that after 12 years the world powers have announced that regarding Nuclear Technology and modern technology they will help iran. Todays the day that world powers have announced that all sanctions will be lifted and all tyrannical resolutions will be annulled and a normal situation will prevail in relations with iran. Today is an end, today marks an end to acts of tyranny and operation against the great nation of iran. At the same time its the starting point for a new trend in order to commend Nuclear Operation at a global level. Speaking of the tehran, terman and other cities they are witnessing that the chains of sanctions have been torn apart and they are happy for this. And the people of gaza and the west bank and the people of lebanon, they are also happy because made futile efforts made futile efforts in the past 23 months. All these futile efforts have been crushed and defeated and the originations are also pleased because many baseless pretext for act of tyranny against the region claiming that iran is after manufacturing a Nuclear Weapon. A nuclear bomb. They will all be pretext will come to an end if some of the countries want to announce that we prevented iran from acquiring a Nuclear Weapon. The whole world knows very well that manufacturing of a nuclear bomb based on a fatwa by the leader is considered forbidden by religion and also a wrong action. Iran has never sought to manufacture a Nuclear Weapon and will never seek manufacturing of a Nuclear Weapon. In case of an agreement or absence of an agreement. So if they want to speak of any achievement, they should speak of a real achievement. The real achievement is that a new atmosphere has been created in the region for the sake of cooperation at the regional and global levels. I deem it necessary to send all those people who have played a role in order to attain this Historic Deal i wish to appreciate the great nation of iran for its steadfastness and resistance in the past 12 years in the face of pressure and which wish to thank the leader of the Islamic Revolution who guided us during hardships and he guided the nation and the administration through his prudence and provides us guidelines and he also shouldered a heavy burden. I also wish to thank the parliament, the speaker of the parliament, the judiciary, the judiciary chief, the armed forces, and support the nation and the government antiestablishment, the assembly of experts, the seminaries, the emulation, academicians, young people, women, and all the people from different walks of life, i wish to appreciate them of and their smiles always giving us hope and their decisions have always empowered us. We declare this that in case of criticism, everyone is free to criticize, but i will not allow anyone to destroy peoples hope peoples hope for economic prosperity. Peoples hope for peace and security. I will not peace and security in the region of the world. I will not allow anyone to destroy such a hope through lying, belying or leveling allegations. I will not allow anyone to harm peoples trust. Today is not the end day actually. Today is the day of day that marks the starting point. The starting point for a new move, a new dynamism and exuberance. Starting day for a new hope of Better Future for our young people. And starting point for a more rapid move for the country for our great country of iran with development and progress. And in conclusion, i wish to address the regional and neighboring countries do not be deceived by the propaganda of the zionist regime and the ill wishers of this nation. The iran and irans power is your power and might. We consider Regional Security as our own security. We consider stability of Regional State our own stability. We consider science, knowledge and our development, these are scientific progress, these are all to the benefit of neighboring and Regional States. Iran has not been after wmds and is not after wmds. Will not be after wmds. Iran has not been and is not after and will not be after putting pressure on Regional States. The country speaking of our we see a new chapter has been opened in our relations with you. We call for greater cordiality greater brotherhood, more unity. And further expansion of relations. Thank you very much. The great nation of iran, we look forward to your further progress and dynamism and we will tread this path successfully to attend with your help. Now, we will get reactions from capitol hill. To the Nuclear Agreement with iran, we will hear from republican senators and Bernie Sanders. Senator mcconnell good afternoon, everyone. Obviously the big news of the day is the proposed agreement with the iranians. Ive asked chairman corker and chairman mccain to join us today to give you their take on what this agreement appears to involve. Senator corker thank you. Today at about 10 05, we received 159 pages of a portion of the agreement. There are other portions that are yet to come. We still have the classified annexes, we have the certifications from the director of National Intelligence and secretary of state. So we expect to receive those materials over the next several days and at that point in time the 60day review process will begin. I have to say that when we passed over with the interim agreement from dismantling their program, to moving towards agreeing that there would be enrichment, then over time moving to what i would call managed proliferation, we really crossed the rubicon and i think numbers of people have been looking at the qualitative issues what have remains. The issues of previous military dimensions and making sure we fully understand how thats dealt with. The issue of any time, anywhere inspections and how thats dealt with. The issue of Ballistic Missiles and how thats dealt with. The issue of research and development and how that is dealt with and the entire issue of sanctions relief. I will say that right now, based on our staff going through the agreement for a couple of hours and meeting with me prior to this, i would say the agreement has taken a downward trend, a downward trend. The arms embargo issue, the conventional arms are going to be embargo will be lifted in five years. Missile defense, Missile Development in eight years. Were going to have shoot of the to have the issue of anytime, anywhere is not anytime, anywhere. And so theres numbers of issues that are going to be of great concern. But heres what were going to do. Over the next 60 days, were going to go through this in great detail, were going to have a thoughtful and deliberate process. My guess is, based on timing well have hearings that will be in the next two or three weeks and likely what well do is vote on this when we return from recess. Im very skeptical, but i dont i want to go through this process and make sure we fully understand what it is that were voting on. My guess is, ill close with this, those who believe that this truly is going to keep iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon will vote for it. Those who believe that that is not the case, and the world is not going to be safer, and in some ways it may paving the way for them to get a Nuclear Weapon, will vote against it. Thats our responsibility and i look forward to carrying out those responsibilities with other members of the senate and house. Senator mccain we intend to review the provisions of this agreement thoroughly, the Armed Services committee will hold hearings on it, especially the verification regime and the effect on the Regional Military balance. We know that this agreement went from the initial objective of iran never having a Nuclear Weapon to a period of time where iran will be able to behave with impunity and without restraint. There is no addressing in this agreement that weve seen that addresses irans role as a chief sponsor of terror throughout the region, there is no addressing of their continued aggression and basically controlling four countries. Iraq, syria, iran and lebanon. I recently came back from afghanistan and learned that the iranians are now providing weapons to the taliban. Theres no provisions for the terrorist activities of iran the chief sponsor of terrorism in the region. Apparently, there are sanctions lifted on various institutions that have been involved in the arms business and in particular theres allegations that the sanctions are lifted against the head of the Iranian Revolutionary guard, who was responsible for the deaths according to general dunford before the Armed Services committee, the coppertipped i. D. S were sent into iraq by him, that are responsible for the death of 500 marines and soldiers. This deal, as far as i can tell, has gone from preventing iran from ever having a Nuclear Weapon to now lifting restrictions on iran, including on conventional weapons within five years, which secretary kerry assured us there would be no connection between conventional weapons and Nuclear Weapons. I predicted that in their desperation, that the president and john kerry would make a bad deal. It looks very much like they made a worse deal than even we had feared. Questioner what would have been an acceptable deal in your mind . Senator mcconnell this appears to be, again, were going to take a look at it, as senator corker and mccain have said, it appears to fall well short of what the goal we all thought was trying to be achieved, which was that iran would not be a nuclear state. So describing the perfect deal i guess, would be a deal under which iran would not be able to acquire Nuclear Weapons. Questioner the white house says that any deal when youre negotiating with your enemies is not going to be perfect. Do they have a point . Senator mcconnell this is considerably short of perfection, apparently. We knew what was working. Sanctions. Imagine what we might have now if wed spent the last two years ratcheting up the sanctions as opposed to this. Questioner in the past few days, many of your colleagues, including some of the senators standing here have been putting public pressure on secretary clinton, saying she owns this deal, she should repudiate it, that would put pressure on democrats to vote with you on an override. That didnt happen today. She all but endorsed the deal. How does that complicate your efforts that are going to be coming up to override whats likely to be a president ial veto . Senator mcconnell the president is the most important democrat in the country and hes obviously in favor of this. He negotiated it. Hes going to work hard to get the 34 votes that i know he knows he needs in order to sustain it. So, it will be a real challenge for him because i think it falls short in a lot of ways. Questioner secretary clinton [inaudible] senator mcconnell im sure hes going to work hard to get his 34 votes. Questioner on the issue of budget reconciliation, how do you plan to use it . Do you plan to use it to repeal the Affordable Care act . And when will the authorizing committees report budget reconciliations . Senator mcconnell i dont have a time to give you but were certainly going to consider using budget reconciliation for repealing as much of obamacare as is reconcilable. There are certain rules that have to be applied to what is reconcilable. And thats an active consideration, as you can imagine. Questioner on the highway bill, how long do you intend to move the highway bill for and do you have, from senator hatch and others, the kind of offsets that you need . Senator mcconnell let me say theres bipartisan enthusiasm for a multiyear highway bill. Weve had some conversations inside our conference about a way to pay for that. And ive also had conversations with prominent democrats who are involved in this issue and we are hoping to be able to come together in some way to get a multiyear highway bill. Im fairly optimistic that we can do that. Thanks a lot. Senator Bernie Sanders let me be very brief. First of all, i applaud the president and secretary john kerry in a very crazy and dangerous world, they created an agreement with iran that prevents them from acquiring a Nuclear Weapon. This is a huge breakthrough. Obviously the devil is in the , details. We are going to study those details. But this is clearly a major step forward. Let me also welcome secretary clinton back to the United States senate, where she served for eight years. I very much look forward in this campaign to a serious debate about the very serious crises facing our country. I dont like negative campaigns, i have never run a negative advertisement in my life. I believe the American People are entitled to serious discussion about serious issues. Secretary clinton and i disagree on a number of issues. There are issues where we come from the same place. Some of the areas we disagree are on trade. I happen to believe the trade agreements that have been passed here over the last three decades, the chinese trade agreements, they have been disastrous for American Workers. And have led to the loss of millions of jobs. Secretary clinton, i believe, is has a very different view on that position. I strongly opposed the war in iraq. And if you go to the remarks i made as a member of the house, sadly and tragically, it took place. I voted against the socalled usa patriot act, because i feared very much that while we have to be vigorous and protect this country against terrorism, we could do it without undermining the Constitutional Rights or the privacy rights of the American People. I happen to agree very strongly with pope francis that Climate Change is a great planetary and
