reaction to rouhani. president obama was at the g-8 summit in northern ireland when president rouhani was elected in june. president obama expressed "cautious optimism that with a new election there would be a new dialogue regarding iran's nuclear program." but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu was less impressed. >> they're building icbms to reach the american mainland within a few years. they're pursuing an alternate route of plutonium that is enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb, one route, plutonium, another route, icbm, intercontinental ballistic missiles to reach you. they already have missiles to reach us. they're doing that after the elections. >> as for the iranian president rouhani himself? >> he believes he's criticizing his predecessor for being a wolf in wolf's clothing. his strategy is be a wolf in sheep's clothing. smile and build a bomb. >> prime minister netanyahu has these demands and in advice. >> what really counts is what the iranians do. they have to stop all enrichment

it is a moment -- rouhani. it is a moment that has secretary of defense hagel and the international community an opportunity to re-engage with concern, most importantly the capacity to develop and launch a nuclear weapon. this may be a very small window of opportunity for a fresh start on dialogue and action on the future of a nuclear iran. it may be short lived depending on how iran's new president views this moment, but it is a time when i for one want to support the white house, the state department and the pentagon's ability to move forward our relationship and dialogue with iran on this most serious matter. it is not the moment for congress to increase and expand the level of u.s. sanctions against iran. we have plenty of sanctions right now against iran. if for some reason we need to increase even further the pressure against iran and its new president, then we have the time to do so. it does not need to be done before the new eye rain yab president even -- iranian president even takes office. we have tim

einstein defined insanity as doing the same action repeatedly but expecting different results, and rouhani used to be iran's nuclear negotiator, and he bragged about four years ago about how he had pulled the wool over the americans' eyes by pretending to negotiate and all the while importing goods and technology which he needed to advance iran's nuclear program. indeed, it really upheld the iranian quip that they play checkers, i'm sorry, they play chess while the americans play checker. jenna: you say this is in direct reaction to a united states policy that's remaining less active in this region than proactive. what changes that? people are still talking about a preemptive military strike in iran. is that the only thing that would show leadership in this region, or are there other options that we really should consider? >> no. but we need to understand that military deterrence is not, is not against diplomacy. in fact, often times showing that we are taking the military preparations, should diplomacy fail, can actually amplify diplomacy. but what prime minister netanyahu of israel is co

question on iran specifically, i've heard both cautious optimism and grave concern about the election of rouhani as the new president. what is your assessment of the impact of the election? do you expect his election to change iran's nuclear policy or its international policies? what's your initial assessment? >> first of all, we, you know, i reflect back on former secretary gates' oft-quote remark of looking for the elusive rain man moderate -- iranian moderate. he's made some moderate statements since he's been but he's not in office yet. and there are those of us who have the basketball -- opinion that he's going to struggle against the government that may prevent him if he wants to be a moderate from good becoming one. so i think the watch word here is prudence. it makes sense to reach out to him but not to do so naively, and i don't think anybody's going to do that. i think we're in a good position here. but it's an interesting development. nobody really expected imto be lekked. at the same time, again, the elusive iranian moderate, we need to maintain the pressure that we're maintaining on

rouhani in iran and involve them in the peace process for syria, including geneva too? to do otherwise is beginning to look unhopefully dogmatic. >> he's like about the importance of iran given iranian intervention on syria on such a scale. the extent to which they can be involved in a peace process will be heavily up to them. they have not hitherto supported the express support for the outcome of last year's geneva conference, the creation of a transitional government with full executive authority. and without agreeing with that, it's very hard to see how a success can be made of participation in negotiations over the coming months. but, of course, those negotiations have to be in circumstances that will produce the maximum success. a judgment about iran's -- how iran is involved in that must, therefore, be guide by that objective. >> mr. peter hane. >> can i welcome his commitment to that any decision to either arm the opposition or intervene militarily will be put to the house on a substantive motion, but can i ask that that happens not -- or can i ask whether he int
