charlie: you being iran. when saddam was invading kuwait, join and iran to suggested if he was successful iraqiran and kuwait and would share the spoils. >> and he sent all his fighter jets to iran, but we did not take the bait. coalition,join the but we helped kuwait. we were the first country to condemn the iraqi invasion of kuwait. equally important historical fact for people to remember. charlie: characterize your relationship with the united states today. [laughter] >> do i need to? charlie: please do. >> i think the united states is making a strategic mistake of sending a message to the world it is not reliable as a negotiating partner. deal, deal, to reach a you give concessions and you take concessions on the other side. new deal will be sustainable if you take concessions and ask for more after. nobody else will negotiate with the united states. united states will become known as an unreliable partner. i believe even europeans are saying if the united states were to break the deal, nobody else would

importantly, iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal. so today, in recognition of the increasing men ace imposed by iran and after extensive consultations with our allies, i'm announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions. first, we will work with our allies to counter the regime's destabilizing activity and support for terrorists' proxies in the region. second, we will place additional sanctions on the regime to block their financing of terror. third, we will address the regime's proliferation of missiles and weapons that threaten its neighbors. and finally we will deny the regime, all paths to a nuclear weapon. today, i'm also announcing several major steps my administration is taking in pursuit of this strategy. the execution of our strategy begins with the long overdue step of imposing tough sanctions on iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. the revolutionary guard is the iranian supreme leaders' corrupt personal terror force and militia. it has hijacked large portions of iran's economy and sei

through the deeply controversial 2015 nuclear deal with iran. this deal is known as the joint comprehensive plan of action or jcpoa. as i have said many times, the iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the united states has ever entered into. the same mindset that produced this deal is responsible for years of terrible trade deals that have sacrificed so many millions of jobs in our country to the benefit of other countries. we need negotiators who will much more strongly represent america's interests. he nuclear deal through iran's dictatorship provided relief from the intense domestic pressure the sanctions had created. it also gave the regime an immediate financial boost. and over $100 billion, its government could use to fund terrorism. the regime also received a massive cash settlement of $1.7 billion from the united states, a large portion of which was physically loaded on to an airplane and flown into iran. just the imgirn the sight of those huge piles of money being hauled off by the iranians waiting at the airpo

we are very unhappy with iran. they have not treated us with the kind of respect that they should be treating. they should have thanked barack obama for making the deal. there were gone, they were economically gone. he infused $150 billion into their economy. he gave them 1.7 million dollars in cash -- $1.7 billion in cash and they should thank him. they did not say that. >> [indiscernible] >> we are stuttering -- we are studying national emergency. doing national emergency is a very big statement. we will be doing that, my wife, millennia, finds that subject to be of such vital importance. she is very much involved. she is on the committee and wants to be involved in that process. >> [indiscernible] they would love me to say it only for one reason. look at the kind of money being spent. iran is spending money and very countries. i have always said it might say to them, don't do anything and don't worry about it. take all the money you can get. they are all friends of mine. actually, emcalluel up any talk to me and

i think it reveals iran, the pressure iran has come under. up to now they were living in heaven. the radicals controlling iran were getting money flowing in 50 billion they got and it's just upfront but down the line they get hundreds of billions of dollars with oil contracts with projects and other things and so all of a sudden this bonanza has stopped and now they're under pressure and i think that's important. look, i drew a red line in the u.n. against iranian enrichment and everybody said wow, is that going to cause a problem but in fact iran backed off and they never crossed that line because they know the power of crippling sanctions and other things that they would have to confront, so i would say right now, the ones who should be worried is iran not the u.s.. >> maria: the president also mentioned north korea you mentioned north korea at the beginning of our conversation. he said look, if you allow something to keep going on it will only get worse. it will only get worse and more dangerous as we've seen with north korea. do you believe iran is working with north korea on

president must certify to congress that iran is complying with the agreement every ninety days trump has done this twice before but has now refused to sign ahead of sunday's deadline now congress must decide whether to reimpose sanctions and scrap the deal here is more of what trump had to say. importantly iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal so today in recognition of the increasing menace posed by iran to destructive actions i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout israel has welcomed trumps announcement prime minister binyamin netanyahu congratulated the us president for what he called a quote courageous step the response from other world leaders has been less than enthusiastic the iran deal took more than a decade to negotiate between iran china russia great it great britain france and germany and was finally signed in two thousand and fifteen. there was dancing in the streets of the iranian capi

inspections continue in iran under iran's agreement with the i.a.e.a. pursuant to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and then there are separate mental inspections under the joint comprehensive plan of action and i.a.e.a. already has the authority under iran's voluntary implementation of its additional protocol to seek access to sites that are not declared as nuclear but there is a mechanism under which iran can provide satisfaction to their concerns short of providing access and there is something called managed access underweight juran good except visits to military sites. on specific for specific purposes where persist so to speak a frog or is that it would you like to respond to that's my guest from vienna and also tell us does this in any way if the deal worth to unravel if a tram does decertified and then congress impose a sanctions does the same courage iran then to restart its nuclear program. yes i think if the u.s. gets out of the nation in agreement it would be difficult for the iranian government to a say in it because after all the major s

iran is not expected to pull out of the nuclear deal but he has decided not to certify iran as being in compliance with the accord he wants congress to toughen u.s. policy towards iran by requiring it to allow greater access to its nuclear sites he will also ask congress to find a way to punish iran for its ballistic missile program the current deal only covers its nuclear activities and his administration will punish some members of iran's revolutionary guard but it will not be declared a so-called terrorist organization so let's discuss this further with our diplomatic editor james bays who covered the nuclear talks extensively and so james it seems as though president trump wants to damage the nuclear deal but not kill it off completely. yes that's certainly what is coming out from the white house we'll hear the president himself we think in about forty five minutes time and he will explain this and some details but what he is doing is decertifying the deal i need to explain that it's a little complicated the deal was done in july two thousand and fifteen in vienna not just with t

law that was passed after the conclusion of the iran nuclear deal the agreement between iran and six world powers and the european union and he said president trump said yesterday that in his opinion the sanctions relief granted to iran under the deal is not proportionate to the steps that iran has taken to restrict to severely restrict its nuclear activities and so what that does is it opens the door to congress reconsidering the application of sanctions or other legislation relating to the deal and we've heard from senator bob corker the chairman of the foreign relations committee that he is going to be pursuing legislation that would impose additional sanctions on iran if iran does not extend the limits the time that the limits are due to apply to iran and that amounts to a unilateral attempt to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal and that's why iran the europeans are saying that they're going to stand by the agreement they're not going to stand for a unilateral attempt to renegotiate the terms of this international accord now what congress does we're not quite sure we're going to h

the people of iran, the people of iraq, iran, yemen, and syria , wethe rest of the region continue to resist terrorist groups that have been created by the united states, and they will not stand until these terrorist groups have been terminated, annihilated. is a powerful force that is popular among the young -- among the iranian people and has been standing behind their people before the war on iran fought against anti-iran agents after the revolution, fought them head on. and stood against the invaders and the irgc has said yes to the call of support from the oppressed people of the middle east. is this a corrupt force? or the government and armed forces that have always done everything to interfere in the independence and sovereignty of different countries in the region? is this a government dictator that is only elected by the people? the government is being supported by the u.s. and they have a tribal system that manages the country, that has never seen, never had an election in their country. a regime that continues to oppress the people of palestine, lebanon and others. you sup

we have people in iran, azeris in iran, kurds in iran. all of whom feel they are oppressed. we haven't even ratcheted up any of the pressure on them even ask iran, the mullah dictators thumb their nose at us and take the money but don't comply fully with the expectations of that treaty. we need leadership here. we can't wait for more than 99% certainty before we act. and there are avenues that are nonmilitary confrontational. i would hope that we act. and i wish our president well. our chairman, ed royce, in his opening statement, chairman royce mentioned the fact that there are people in iran who are not our enemies. the people of iran are not our enemies. it's the mullah regime. just like the people of north korea are not our enemies. we've got to be realistic in our approach and not try to ignore realities if we're going to have a bet earn more peaceful future. i will give -- i have 20 seconds more. if anyone can -- mr. sullivan, go ahead and disagree with me. go ahead. mr. sullivan: i ask unanimous consent to give additional time to disagree. i wouldn't substitute the ju

president trump has set out an aggressive new policy towards iran, saying he wa nted policy towards iran, saying he wanted to confront what he called the hostile sanctions — or actions, rather— of a rogue regime. so we are going to stay with this story. we will speak to our bbc persian correspondent based in new york. first off, we are hearing about sanctions against various aspects of iran. how serious would they be for the country? the ones that we re were announced today are not significant, because they are a continuation of going after certain companies' individuals that the us is deemed to be helping, the ballistic missile programme or the ballistic missile programme or the revolutionary guards. the ones that matter are the ones that possibly the united states congress could pass, with the blessing of president trump, as he has asked them to, which will trigger if iran does not abide by the new terms that the united states wants to impose or dictate individually and outside of the framework, the p five plus one. that remains to be seen whether the us senate and the us house of

iran did iran did get you know as of factually in history that iran did get a lot of its beginning missile technology from north korea and but and has then go on ahead and proceed with their own development programs. but that that's aside from the new killers that aspects. i think that what's going to happen by the by point out of this agreement if it ultimately comes to that is to certify now but if you terminates us role then that's really going to show not only the europeans but even the north koreans if we intend to do anything with them short of going to nuclear war is that you cannot trust the united states to come to any and that this is going to have a debilitating effect on our ability to conduct foreign policy frankly ok i think we can actually listen to a sound bite of president trump talking about the violations he claims have been carried out this even to listen to that now. officials and military leaders have repeatedly claimed they will not allow inspectors on to military it's even though the international community suspects some of those sites were part of iran's thailand n

it's not i in iran. we are a country that is confident of its power, confident of its size, confident of its people. we don't purchase security from outside. we get our security from our own people. >> rose: suggesting that the saudis are purchasing their security from outside? >> i'm not suggesting. ( laughter ) >> rose: what is iran's attitude and what is its program having to do with the development an deployment of missiles which is mott part of -- not part of the nuclear deal? >> thank you for reminding us it's not part of the nuclear deal. but you see, you want to deal with missiles, you need to look at our history. >> rose: you argue they are for deterrence purposes. >> they are. >> rose: you can imagine other people don't necessarily assume they should accept at your face value your definition of what they're about. >> fine. what we need to do is look at the facts. last year, saudi arabia spent $67 billion on weapons. the united arab emirates, which is, what, less than a million, we are 80 millio

iran, i canjust imagine, iran makes a lot of the fact, it is one of the defining national interests, they survived years of sanctions and it wasn't lost on many that the rising influence in iraq, in lebanon, in yemen, in syria, happened under sanctions. so sanctions are not, iran will carry out its strategic objective. it has never been afraid of sanctions, but it is a country where people expect benefits from the nuclear deal. if this puts a halt to new investments in iran, it's going to have an effect both on iranian politics with the hardliners. what we said including iran's supreme leader, go ahead and negotiate, but we don't trust the americans. there must be a lot of people in tehran saying i told you so. people in tehran saying i told you so. let's bring in barbara plett—usher. how did what we heard from donald trump compare to what we have been expecting? from donald trump compare to what we have been expecting ?|j from donald trump compare to what we have been expecting? i think pretty much as advertised. a long description of iran's allegedly bad behaviour. he sees it as

this is iran iran did want just the u.s. doing inspections. it wanted this to be a multilateral process. it wanted this to be many states that it was to do with not just one. the negotiations were actually set out the way. we often talk as if the jcpoa was a u.s. armenia bilateral relationship. it is in. it was negotiated by the p5+1. p5+1. that's a permanent members of the u.s. security council plus germany working with iran to achieve this do. and so the way it was negotiated basically these inspections in the hands of the international atomic energy agency to make their impartial assessment that comes with iran felt comfortable with this. that being said i think we would all be foolish to assume that the u.s. intelligence community is not doing its own assessments of these issues. and everything that has been publicly stated about this suggests that use intelligence community please iran is in compliance. we are not just the words of the international atomic energy agency on this. we also use our own resources to figure out if iran is in co

policy towards iran. well he's not pulling out of the deal yet but he's setting in chain a series of events which could lead to its collapse or him pulling out as the latest sage because he certainly made that threat very clear he said the deal will be terminated if he thinks that is the way to go i would describe the tone of this as yet another flame throwing speech from the u.s. president just about a month ago at the u.n. general assembly a speech about north korea and iran and this is very much a similar tone from president trump and very marked contrast i can tell you from a conference call that was had just a matter of hours ago with the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and the national security council national security advisor h.r. mcmaster where they were explaining this the technical detail and it was nothing like this the sort of tone that you heard there they were making it quite clear that under strict technical terms of the deal that iran was in compliance president trump said no there

the concerns of other states in the reason they're not only listen iran is both of the problem iran would not accept the right of peaceful to exist iran. which is a total waste. in lebanon and iran support still in the region and final still in the region and though for we all understand that there's a need to give an answer of course and to confront. their doing in the region but we also need to conform. to who would use the power of iran and we're looking at the i mean we're all familiar of the situation in syria. and the question is what the two would look like if we would see you right. and then you run the influence in iraq and iran influencing syria and iran the influence in lebanon with . this will be a huge problem and we believe as i said before that this is something that needs to be the international community well it's interesting you say that because the view in moscow and let me know if you disagree with that is that the iranian influence is indeed growing there is no dear dispute about that but most believe that partially it is growing because of israel's own policies or th

president i hope truong throws a wrench in the iran nuclear jail. based on the factual record i have put forward i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. as part of a new strategy for confronting terror on trouble someone else sanctions against the country's powerful revolutionary guard and he called on allies to help him curb obama's bill list to queso program to bring your reaction from tehran and from washington plus emergency services struggled to contain wildfires leaving a trail of destruction across northern california thirty one people of now. i'm sarah harmon welcome to the show it's good to have you with us. u.s. president alan trump has outlined a new strategy on iran that he says is aimed at curbing any possible nuclear weapons development his remarks focus on the twenty fifteen nuclear deal between tehran and world powers which trump says needs to be improved the u.s. president now says he's decertifying that deal that gave iran relief from sanctions and exchange for restrictions on its nuclear developm

. >> we're very unhappy with iran. they have not treated us with the kind of respect that they should be be treating. >> iran is not in material breach of the agreement. >> here in the mountains of central puerto rico many residents say they're settling in to the reality that a normal day isn't even a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel yet. >> we're going to have great health care in our country. >> i think what the president did with respect to suspending obamacare was the right thing to do. >> fix it, mend it, don't end it. >> reince priebus to be interviewed. >> he's really a central witness particularly on everything related to obstruction of justice. >> nearly 8,000 firefighters still working around the clock. >> she's disabled. >> let me get her feet. >> there's a house on fire. >> you've got to get her up. >> sir, you've got to go. >> this is "new day" weekend with victor blackwell and christy paul. >> nine months now after taking off president trump is continuing to try to erase part of his predecessor's

the speech was about a wholistic iran strategy. everything focused on, again, part of this -- maybe this narcissism that we suffer from. we focus on the nara legislation. we report to each other. they're inside the united states. when this was a speech about a strategy to really counter this country and this organization the rogs which is a threat to everyone. so i think what the -- what to focus on in the speech is that taught to the eye rain yn people who are prere pressed by the rogs and the besiege? they're also oppressed by the groups that these are essentially criminalized patronage networks that suck the resources out of the iranian economy to enrich themselves and to keep the supreme leaders autocratic grip on power. so the more that this can be exposed internationally but also to the eye rain iranian people. what could be better than an iranian regime that is no longer funnel fundamentally hostile to anyone including its own people? so the president has great respect for the iranian people, the rich culture, their heritage

the fact iran is angry -- i see reporters saying, iran is angry. this is terrible. the fact is if iran is angry, that shows the president is doing the right thing. iran is the cause of violence and terror in the world. they're angry about what the president is doing, that's an ar fir mags the president is doing the right thing. >> add goolz to talk to you. >> thank you. >>> meantime n california, the death toll climbing. drishgs windy weather threatening to make the monstrous fires there even more dangerous. we'll go live for the very latest. >>> what will the response from congress be now that president trump has decertified the nuclear deal. that's next stwl. ♪fly me to the moon ♪ ♪and let me play amon-- (ding) (bell mnemonic) but he's got work to do. with a sore back. so he took aleve this morning. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. also try aleve direct therapy with tens technology

the european union and iran. sarah: trump is going to be looking to impose additional sanctions to stop what he described as iran's financing of terror. what is that likely to look like? carsten: what the americans could do for instance, what donald trump said he would do is targeting the revolutionary guards, which is a special militia, which basically is the personal army of the religious leader in iran, so they are involved in large parts of the iranian economy. and of course, just now as iran is trying to develop a bit more, as many sanctions have been lifted, imposing new sanctions on this group would be a setback for iran. having said that, it is highly doubtful that it will have a massive impact. and also it would clearly be , seen by the iranians as a violation of the agreement. they would probably say this is null and void. i see this more as a symbolic move by donald trump. i do not think he can't impose sanctions against iran without tearing up the whole agreement. sarah: ok. that is carsten von nam in

is that, you know, you guys keep saying iran, iran, iran. the iranian government is make up of various factions. i mean, who is really in charge? i guess i'm just -- mr. malley: -- mr. glaser: this is exactly the point. iran has a dynamic domestic political situation, so if you're trying to think to yourself, how do we improve iranian behavior or get them to make concessions on certain things that have to do with our interests, the question is how do you do it? there are some people who believe that only browbeating, sanctions, hostile rhetoric, threats of war are likely to get a positive response. they either capitulate or they continue to be pains in the butt. there are other people who i think are more sober minded that understand that inside of a dynamic domestic political situation, there are hard liners and moderates. and if you do things that concede certain things to the other side when you make compromises, it tends to empower the moderates who have the ability to do those kinds of compromises. now with trump, as trita wisely said,

to decertify the iran deal a move my a move by washington meant to antagonize iran. well the problem is problem for the united states is that this iran deal was not just a bilateral agreement between iran and the united states nor was it merely a multilateral agreement between say the europeans the united states and iran this was the do use that was actually ratified by the un security council in twenty fifteen in un security council resolution twenty two thirty one so this is a deal which has the imprimatur all the international law as it were as far as the security council is concerned and all the agencies through the various and axes of this deals have so far said that iran is maintaining its end of the bargain so it's not that easy for the american government to say that iran is in violation and it's even more difficult it seems to me what the american government to walk away from the deal which has been sanctified by a six security council resolution the day you wrote that secretary of state rex tillerson said the u.s. government was committed to overthrowing th

hold iran to account. let's get back to that. fourth, walking away from the nuclear deal would be a disaster for the united states. iran would resume its march towards nuclear capability and the rest of the world would be deeply skeptical about joining us in rebuilding global sanctions regime. without a deal we would be faced with the same painful choices we are currently facing with north korea. these are choices -- we already have to grapple with one nuclear crisis right now as this committee knows well. why would the administration want to create a second one? this defies not only sound strategic thinking but also simple common sense. thank you and i look forward to answering wrour questiyour ques >> in august i was in the middle east and i wanted to ask ambassador jeffrey a question here because you made it very clear that allowing iran to complete the land bridge or the corridor across iraq and syria to lebanon would risk in your words a strategic defeat. and i wondered if you could explain to us what

now, on iran the u.s. has got to respond to the full range of threats from iran, not just their nuclear program because we see in syria and in iraq, we see it right up along western syria now with the quds forces and the irgc. they're taking advantage of this fight against isis. and they're moving in, they're brutalizing syrians, but they've seized so much territory. and meanwhile, hezbollah, which is iran's terror proxy, is amassing fighters and troops along israel's border in the north, along the border in the east, and iran continues to acquire destabilizing conventional weapons but also intercontinental ballistic missiles. the administration has taken a realistic approach on iran, recognizing the full range of these threats. this is what we have been messaging in a bipartisan way on our committee. this is what brad sherman and i and mike mccaul and others, elliott engle have been talking about as we touch these policies. congress and the administration must work together to confront these threats while

giving a speech on iran. a terrorist nation like few others and i think you will find it very interesting. >> that will come hours after the president delivered another blow to obamacare, cutting subsidies to insurers. democrats call it sabotage. he calls it a promise kept. >> these are massive bail outs to insurance companies. >> lawsuits? >> there may be lawsuits, but they are not going to win. >> a long time republican senator and trump critic makes a big decision about her political future. >> i want to continue to play a key role in advancing policies that strengthen our nation. >> as a candidate, donald trump repeatedly pledged to dismantle two things president obama considered his signature achievements. obamacare and the iran nuclear deal. today president trump is taking steps to fulfill those promises. later this hour, the president will announce a new strategy on iran and he is using his executive power to unravel president obama's affordable care act. we will have more on that with the panel in a m

cross talking the iran deal i'm joined by my guess. in pittsburgh he is a partner at global growth advisors international strategic consultancy group based in new york and in london we cross that he's an iran expert at middle east are gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciated in pittsburgh if i can go to you first here one of the things i'd like to focus on this program we know that i guess it's common knowledge now that donald trump is going to decertify this agreement. and looking at me in the mainstream media looking at all the cable stations it's remarkably low light on facts like for example the i.a.e.a. saying that iran is in compliance with this agreement but we hear about all this other stuff on the side so iran's behavior in the middle east and its other activities in the region but if i could remember correctly one of the reasons they wanted to focus just on the nucular side of things because it was doable this wasn't an agreement to solve all problems in the middle

in iraq and iran influencing syria and iran the influence in lebanon with. this would be a huge problem and we believe as i said before that this is something that needs to be the international community well it's interesting you say that because the view in moscow and let me know if you disagree with that is that the iranian influence is indeed a growing there is no do dispute about that but most believe that partially it is growing because of israel's own policies or the policies of israel's closest allies it all started to be with the invasion of iraq which allowed iran to gain a foothold there was a campaign in the israeli compound in lebanon the beach consecutively led to hizbollah gaining more influence and dot country down was syria and now there is yemen don't you think that at least in part the iranian influence that you are so concerned about is growing because all of the opportunities that were handed to by . israel or israel's allies no way i mean to accuse east for iran being a state that would not accept the right to fish oil to exist that supp

iran. s about it is about iran. it is about iran. charlie: explain that to me. why don't the saudis at some point say, enough is enough, they are supporting people that are opposed to us and they are supporting terrorism? that's what they said about qatar. they said, we've got these 13 demands. turns out most of them boil down to not so much al jazeera and all those other things, but boiled down to some sense of please stop supporting revolutions against us and our allies. yes or no? you tell me. you are there. what is at the heart of this? guest: again, i think it comes down to power. in their eyes, qatar, from its inception, has been a maverick rogue nation. they punch above their weight. you listen to the qatari, they say we should be able to forge our own independent policy. we are a very small nation. we have big ambitions and we are very wealthy. charlie: and we play all sides. we have a big american base here. >> yes. they gave refuge to hamas. the united states was also very aware of that as well. but they also give refuge to alical clerics who go on jaz

to israel for its from iran for decades iran is. threatening the region and causing so much. with its soldiers. i want you to know how much we appreciate. an american policy. so clearly it's very hard to say what his what his goal is his is he trying to go to iran. into taking some actually really the pressure on trump is coming from is his biggest sponsor is financial sponsors and fundraisers and they are absolutely all virtually ready for war with iran. me and president responded to president trump's claims by saying it's not up to any single leader to make this about a global agreement this is an international multilateral deal that has been read it fine by the un security council it is a un document is it possible for a president to unilaterally decide to fight this important international deal apparently he's not in the know it is not a document between iran and the us so he can't treat it the way he likes. took nine years of tough negotiations before the deal was finally reached in twenty fifteen although the standoff over iran's nuclear activities stretch back more tha

, arms control agreement with iran we would fix iran. mr. smith: let me ask you this. secretary of state john kerry said on cnn or reported by cnn january 21 of 2016 that money from the deal, that the iranians were getting, would go to terrorists. to whom has that gone? who are the terrorists and how much? mr. sullivan: as i understand it the trump administration d.i.a. chief has said the bulk of that money has gone to domestic purposes not to the irgc. but of course the irgc and -- mr. shoot: do you know how much? mr. sullivan: no. it would behoover the committee to get a briefing from the dia chief who has laid out where he thinks the assessment is. mr. smith: we had numerous hearings and the chairman was stellar in ensuring we had multiple hearings on the iran deal before, during, and now after. even before the inspections -- the e the deal was signed, committee said that will he never permit inspections to inspect iran's nuclear bases. the identify rain minister of defense said, tehran will never allow any foreigners defense and miss

and saudi arabia all of this when we sit down with iran's foreign minister mohammad zarif. let's start with iran's nuclear issue you know what president donald trump has been saying in terms of it being a bad deal for the united states from his perspective. how seriously do you take that but i think it is. an illegal alien form statement because. certainly any deed would not be a perfect for all sides it has to be less than perfect so that also it could live with it that it has elements that we don't like it has elements that the united states doesn't like but it's not a bilateral trade it's not even a multilateral treaty it is a part of the resolution of the security council which was negotiated. in two years very difficult negotiations so i believe that the united states would be much better off if the united states agreed to abide by did the because if it didn't the international community would never trust any commitment by the united states because. it is possible that the administration or the future administration would like to deal and i think any time you could wal
