Lets get more on this expected nuclear deal with iran. Theres still some problems. Negotiators extended the deadline twice last week as they tried to hammer out final details of the last sticking points. Lets get to to Christiane Amanpour joining us from vn. Christiane i understand thatienna. Christiane, i understand that it looks like that its unlikely a deal for today . At least through the iranian side. Weve heard that the diplomacy where the principals come out for a breath of fresh air, we saw javad zarif basically not his head back in the iranian way of saying no when asked if there was going to be a deal. So thats the situation from their point of view but diplomats who have been meeting in many many sessions all day. It does seem to be according to the diplomats ive spoken to very key players today on the european side, the u. S. Side, the iranian side that the nuclear part of the deal is done in their words. Now they are hammering out the formalities of what will be a u. N. Resolution to cover the on going forwardgoing movement of this deal. So thats what were told is happening, were told its a 100page document. There are about 20 page which is cover the deal and 80 pages of annexes which were told are being gone over literally word by word. Sometimes those negotiation cans take several hours so its very very long and there are obviously still some outstanding issues. Were being told by a few people that one is the notion of how to finesse the idea of the arms embargo being lifted and knew is going to be enline thatted, whether it will or not. Were also told i was told that there will not be a formal extension. No more formal extensions after the next 24 hours or so. Well see how that goes. Weve heard that before but most people are saying they believe a deal is like lily we also know inside iran they believe the deal is likely. The president and everybody getting ready to announce a deal. It looks, christiane based on what were hearing, that the u. S. Does not want to see that u. N. Arms embargo against iran lifted. The rulgss on the other hand would like to see it lifted. They would like to start selling weapons to iran. Iran will be cashing in getting a whole lot of money from those frozen billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars in asset. Theyll have money to spend on weapons. That could be a major stumbling block right now, right . Its hard to know whether its a major stumbling block or whether they can find language that will basically be winwin for all sides. You know, weve heard many many times not only are there issues being discussed here but theres also the language around those issues. So that it doesnt look like one side or the other is losing. Everybodys talking about trying to get a winwin situation so that is what theyre trying to do. They keep saying we think its close, we think its close. Of course we have heard that many many times. But so much has been vested in this process. Nearly two years. About 21 months of nonstop negotiations. And lets not forget this is an extension of whats been going on for more than ten years. I recall today when i arrived in vienna that one of the first times i covered this very process was back in 2003 2004. Different administrations, both in iran in the United States in europe. But this has been going on for a long long time, the idea of easing some sanctions in return for iran restricting its Nuclear Program. Wolf . Its not a deal until everything is wrapped up. Clearly they still have some issues to try to deal with. Christiane well stay in very close touch with you. Christiane is in vienna for us right now and for our international viewers, by the way, christiane will have more coming up at the top of the hour on amanpour. This Iran Nuclear Deal may be close to passing that first hurdle. Not a done deal yet, as we say. If it does, the u. S. Congress, the house and senate will get a chance to review. 60 days in fact before giving its blessing or rejection. Delaware democrat senator chris koonz is joining us. What do you hear . Deal or no deal . I think were all hearing strong rumors that will be a final agreement and im eager to dig into the details to review this roughly 100page document and get briefings, both public hearings on the Foreign Relations committee and classified briefings from the administration from outside experts, from our very concerned allies. The Administration May be at the very last stage of its long pursuit of an effort to freeze Irans Nuclear weapons program. Now Congress Gets to have its say. As you just said in your conversation with Christiane Amanpour i am gravely concerned about what iran may well do with the tens of billions of dollars of iranian frozen assets that they may get access to witness they comply with the terms of this agreement. Im concerned that theyre going to buy weapons and spread terrorism in the region. Senator, im sorry for bankrupting, but are you okay lifting that u. N. Arms embargo against iran . That seems to be the last major hurdle right now, or at least one of the last major hurdles. I am not. Thats not something ive been consulted on and i frankly think it was an iranian gambit to divide the United States and its european allies from china and russia which have a desire to sell weapons to iran. I think irans behavior in the region its support for terrorism and export of weapons and material and fighting men to support Bashar Al Assads murderous regime in syria, to to the huotouthis in yemen and to support hezbollah should be a concern to us. This was supposed to be a negotiation about their illicit Nuclear Weapons program and to throw on the table at the last minute a lifting of the arms embargo strikes me as trying to broaden the scope of the negotiations and i hope to discover that the agreement should there be one finally, should it be presented to us by the administration i hope to find that that agreement is tough and enforcement, that it has a strong inspections regime only only gives sanction relief as iran comes into compliance with the agreement. None of us knows the terms of the deal yet. We havent seen text yet and i look forward to digging into those details in the next 60 days. One of the top israeli Opposition Leaders who opposes the netanyahu government also opposes any iran deal right now. He said according to the agreement he said if the inspectors of the International AtomicEnergy Agency suspect that the iranians are cheating and they want to carry out an inspection they will need to give notice 24 days in advance to a committee and even if its approved they cant go unsupervised into the site. Thats not supervision, thats a joke and its a regime which constantly cheats from yair lapid. Is that 24day notice for socalled snap inspections if thats part of the deal acceptable to you . It depends on what input im going to get from our Intelligence Service and from the administration about what they believe they can accomplish on a 24day period. Thats the first time ive heard that specific time frame. I recognize for us to inspect sites in iran on 24hour notice or 72hour notice is not technically likely or logistically practical. But to push it towards 24 days 30r days or 60 days i would be gravely concerned about. This is just speculation what about the terms are for the inspection regime. Thats one of the most important parts of this deal. It will be very closely scrutinized. In order for me to sign off on any such agreement i would have to be fully briefed and informed and then convinced that weve gotten inspection regimes that will work. Previous experiences with our efforts to try and prevent north korea and pakistan from getting Nuclear Weapons were unsuccess unsuccessful so we have to have a stronger broader, and more unstoppable inspection regime here given we know iran has a past history of cheating and give than we know the consequences of failing to catch them at cheating or trying to sneak out of this agreement would be so grave. So thats a key part of this agreement and ill look at it closely, wolf. Im sure you will. Senator chris coons of delaware thank you very much. Thank you, wolf. Up next much more on these iran talks. Well look at why iran wants the arms embargo lifted before moving ahead with a final agreement. What other countries would benefit .

Lets get back to the Nuclear Talks with iran. Irans chief negotiator says there wont be a deal today. It seems the talks have boiled down to one remaining issue a United Nations arms embargo. Lets discuss that. Joining us now, our Global Affairs correspondent elise labott the former state Department Nuclear negotiator and former a ambassador to greece nicholas burns, jamie rubin and bobby gauchehosh the managing editor of quartz. Lets start this w this tweet, elise, hassan rouhani, the socalled moderate president of iran he tweets iran deal is the Mutual Respect over the outdated paradigm of exclusion and diversion, this is a good beginning. He then deletes that tweet. Whats going on . Well there were a lot of signs last night and today there was going to be a deal a and you saw this morning the top u. N. E. U. Diplomat giving the thumbs up. There were signals we were awaiting for an announcement but there are still lastminute details that need to be worked out. Were talking about the lifting of the u. N. Arms embargo, particularly the Ballistic Missile issue. Also the access that iaea inspectors can have to iran. Now, one of the analysts i was talking to today called it compared it to theyve bought the house but now theyre negotiating closing costs. These are surmountable im told issues but theyre not insignificant and when you have a 100page agreement of this nature every sword being pored over. When you change one word it changes the whole meaning of the document so they have work left to do. I want to quickly go to the white house briefing. Theyre talking about iran right now, asking the press secretary questions. Lets listen in. Reporter its hard to know what is being agreed upon and what is not being agreed upon. I dont have a great sense of why the president feels like another two days another three days will close the door on these issues that have been open for months. Thats an entirely legitimate question. The chief obstacle, then to us providing greater insight about what is exactly occurring behind closed doors is this key tenet of our talks that weve been repeating for a couple of years now which is that nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to. Reporter but im asking not even in terms of specifics. Is it is he is seeing the iranians make concessions on the issues . What is it that hes seen from the iranians that leads him to believe they would continue to move closer to the u. S. Position if you keep this going . I think because as the negotiations have gone on over the last couple weeks, what started out as a long list of differences has slowly i would acknowledge slowly but steadily narrowed. Thats an indication we are making progress toward an agreement and thats why i would describe talks as making genuine progress but whats also true is typically some of the most difficult issues are the ones that get kicked to the end and thats why the president is going to resist any effort to sort of fast forward through the closing here. There continue to be significant issues that remain and the president will not sign on to aagreement and this is the attitude by our p5 1 partners, too, they wont sign on to an agreement until all of that has been addressed. Has the president had any conversations with secretary kerry over the last few days . Well, the president has been in touch with his National Security advisor susan rice and she has been the one that has been principally updating him a couple times a day about the status of the talks. Those briefings for the president occurred even over the weekend, those updates to the president occurred over the weekened and i know the president has been in touch with the negotiating team in vienna as well. Theres not been any secure video teleconferences since the one that we announced last week. But the president is very well aware of where things stand. Reporter josh, with no Firm Deadline in place on these talks, do you have an idea of when the interim agreement may be lifted . The issue is this the interim agreement has been extended two or three days at a time two or three times now. The latest short Term Extension is up at the end of the day today. If the talks are not completed today then the interim agreement will be extended again. And this is by essentially by the result of the unanimous view that this interim agreement has been helpful. And i know thats true of many republicans in congress who criticized the interim agreement. It also happens to be the view of our p5 1 partners and of iran so there is a unified commitment to making sure that interim agreement remains in place but the whole idea of an interim agreement is that it remains in place only until a final agreement can be reached. So what we would envision is a final agreement that would enter into effect to replace the interim agreement. Reporter but i imagine its not indefinite. What would have to happen to lift that and would it be walking away from these talks . Well again, i wouldnt want to speculate about whats going to happen or what would happen if one party or another were to walk away from the talks. What we know is that the interim agreement has been useful while the talks have been ongoing to freeze Irans Nuclear program that place and roll it back into key areas. So this will be for another three days each time or is it indefinitely . There is a need to extend the interim agreement even for a shortterm period, thats an announcement that would be made by the United States and our p5 1 partners in vienna thats not whey eel announce here. Im merely trying to project confidence that if a final agreement is not in agreement, all of the parties will agree to short Term Extension of the interim agreement to allow conversations to continue. Shifting to criminal justice, i know the president is traveling tomorrow where hell talk to the naacp and lay out his ideas for criminal justice reform. He said many of those ideas have come up in congress. Also, there have been many ideas that have been v come up and been stalled even when democrats had control of the senate last year. Why does he think anything might be different now what are the chan chances of getting something through. Well to be blunt, because republicans are indicating an openness to do it. Democrats have long been strong advocates of criminal justice reform. Were going to break away from josh earnest, the White House Press secretary, the news obviously significant. It looks like if theres no deal today and the anticipation was broad that there would be a dramatic historic announcement of a deal involving Irans Nuclear program if it wont happen today clearly the u. S. Is willing to continue two days or three if theyre close. I want to get back to jamie rubin, former assistant secretary of state. Jamie, if the stumbling block is lifting the arms embargo allowing iran to get a huge influx of cash over the coming months and years to go ahead and start buying weapons from china and russia thats something clearly the u. S. Isnt anxious to see given the fact the u. S. Still considers iran to be a state sponsor of terrorism. Is this a deal breaker in the works right now . In other words, if that is the final issue that iran is dem
