fact sheet on iran. the deal says iran will have from 19000 centrifuges installed today to 6104 installed under a future accord. also saying that iran has agreed to not enrich uranium over 3.67% for at least 15 years. again a lot of details worth nothing unless they're verified. >> i think it is extraordinarily difficult to enforce this. you see this with north korea in particular. i think iran will likely end up playing same game. we scale back a little bit. we concede and they do whatever they want. if you're developing a nuclear program you benefit from delay. you benefit from strung out diplomacy from this. >> do what they want? >> yeah they will. >> correspondent they do it anyway? take a shot. melissa: they will and they did. >> why not take a shot? melissa: because sanctions. they become the quick heavyweight in region. only thing they are missing right now they are not an economic powerhouse. that's what they're missing. if we lift sanctions and iran and dell and ge in, all of a sudden iran is wi

iran. are we opening the door because we think over time the government in tehran will evolve to a point where it's more akin to the international community? i don't know. >> that leads us beautifully into the next part of the program. it's great to have you with us. >> thank you, ray. >> as the self-imposed deadline for these negotiations approach, would it leave iran to carry on enrichment and the security council's permanent members confident that iran is not building a nuclear weapon. we'll be reviewing what is hard about hammering out an international agreement that actually works. stay with us. it's inside story. >> welcome back to inside story on al jazeera america. i'm ray suarez. representatives of seven countries walk into a room and sit down. six of them have some difficult histories with each other. just in the past century they've killed millions of each other's citizens, yet they agree among themselves that the seventh could be, should be prevented from having nuclear weapons,

iran wants them lifted on day one, but the international community wants to phase them out as iran complies with the deal. they're also looking at a snapback provision if iran were to violate. it has to do with united nations, security council politics. there's a lot still to be addressed. i think this is going to be a very vague statement. not sure if it's going to be enough for president obama to take to congress to ward off sanctions. if congress were to impose sanctions that would jeopardize chances of a full comprehensive deal. >> sounds like the iranians are clearly pleased, not only zarif tweeting there is good news. now we're getting a tweet from the president of iran. he just tweeted solutions on key parameters of iran nuclear case reached, drafting to start immediately. so he seems pleased as well. i want to bring in our chief international correspondent. these are very, very sensitive issues. doesn't get a lot more sensitive than this. give us your analysis on what we're expecting right now. >> well, i do think similar to what elise said and similar to what i've been getting cert

iran bilateral relationship and iran's role in the region. i think the leadership in iran wants to see something which is much more transactional. we'll make a short term nuclear compromise in exchange for economic relief. and i think really the debate that's taking place in a tehran is going to play out over a period of years. and the debate is between those in iran that want to prioritize the country's national and economic interest. the model they broadly want to emulate is china. to say we're not going to relinquish power but we'll open up the country economically. and that will strengthen the islamic republic. and those are the pragmatists. the supreme leaders say look at what happened when gorbachev tried to reform the soviet union. once you abandon your ideals your principles that's when the entire house could collapse. and i think certainly for the iranian population, the two thirds who were born after the revolution overwhelmingly they favor the more pragmatic approach to prioritize national economic interest first. the principals ha

iran's -- it allows iran to keep some of its enriched uranium. the challenge for this resident and administration is to spell out the iaea inspections the unprecedented, as he said levels of inspections that international teams will be able to conduct in iran. the big picture here is this is a president who is clearly hoping -- was clearly hoping for this day, could really prepared to make this sales pitch, that this is a good deal. i think that's we heard from the president, the beginning of a sales job. i understand john kerry may be preparing to speak. mark: he was the lead u.s. diplomat in switzerland, speaking to reporters today. let's go to switzerland. secretary kerry: the people of switzerland have gone above and beyond in order to facilitate these negotiations, and i don't think anybody could imagine a much more peaceful setting in order to pursue a peaceful path forward. [speaking french] i also want to thank the very many other nations that have provided a home to these negotiations over the past couple of years. people forget that it

in fact, not having a relationship with iran not talking about this with iran has allowed iran's number of centrifuges to skyrocket to as you said 19,000. there was a time right after 9/11 when the then-president had offered president george bush that he would limit the number of centrifuges to just over 100. less than 200 centrifuges. at that time he was not -- iran was part of the axis of evil and that was not possible. now iran is up to 19,000. so having this conversation bringing it down to 6100 is a very important development. >> you make a great point there and a huge distinction when it comes to any type of relationship as the foreign minister pointed out about engagement, diplomacy being so important here. ann curry reporting for us there in switzerland. ann, thank you. as we talk about inspections and transparency, i want to bring in nbc's tehran bureau chief. the honesty at which the foreign minister zarif continues to answer questions at the podium there in lausanne switzerland, are you surprised by him wanting to, for lack of a better word hog the ball until we hear from the

that was not just something that the united states and iran agreed to, but iran agreed to a political framework with the other p5 plus one nations. now, what's always been clear is that iran has its own politics around this issue. they have their own hardliners, they have their own counter veiling jim pomses in terms of not going forward with something just as we have in our country. it's not surprising to me that the supreme leader or a whole bunch of other people are going to try to characterize the deal that protects their political position but i know what was discussed in arriving at the political agreement. what i've always said though is that there's the possibility of book sliding, the possibility that it doesn't get mer molallized in a way that satisfies us that we're able to verify that in fact iran is not getting a nuclear weapon and that we are preserving the equals city to snap back sanctions in the event that they are breaking any deal and that's why the work is going to be so important between now and the end of june to memorialize this. either there's going to be a doc

trust iran now. they have been caught building secret facilities in the past, and they've never fully explained why. i'll be blunt with you. we don't trust iran, and we shouldn't. iran for decades has sought to undermine or evade the work of international inspectors. that's why our approach to these negotiations has been to distrust and verify. that's why in the context of this agreement we see the most intrusive stringent sanctions ever been put in place against a country's nuclear program. and these are sanctions that don't just apply to iran's nuclear facilities. these apply to the uranium mines inside of iran to evaluate the mining work under way there. this would apply to centerfuges that are included in iran's nuclear facilities to make sure that they're not building a covert program. and it would require regular access to facilities that iran already has and this is why we can be sure from beginning to end we can have a detailed understanding of what iran's nuclear program looks like, and ensu

i've been to iran ten times. iranian people -- if the stock market was open tomorrow they would be shooting through the roof. the iranian people the economy, has been waiting with baited breath for the chance to open up to the world. sell cars open businesses its. this has enormous economic rewards for iran and quickly. a couple other details. more details here than expected particularly with hiccups in recent days. you're looking at sensitive issues in iran's nuclear program. this is where it's believed iran had been experimenting with possible weaponization. access there is major. keeping the facility this is a once secret underground facileity discovered by the u.s. the iranians didn't announce it. that's going to stay open. it's not going to be building sentra fuses, but it's going to stay open. the key here going forward the verification how much access inspectors are going to have. a that's the worry is that iran might change its might at some point. on those big picture issues t biggest one to seerzero in

you've got three imprisoned americans in iran and one missing american, last seen in iran about eight years ago, if you showed these pictures, here we are. the question is, will iran release these prisoners? >> not been a part of this deal. from the beginning, president obama, secretary kerry said they done want to mix anything else with this deal. they don't want to bring up human rights whether it's calling out the iranians with their human rights abuses back at home against women against journalist, against other innocent individuals, or against the americans that are being held there. we didn't want to mix these two. so we're not going to see any behavioral change and that's a huge mistake. when we have the iranians coming to the negotiating table, before we lift these sanctions, we have to leverage any type of power we have to see any significant change. >> so you don't think that diplomacy, there is absolutely no place for diplomacy when it comes to talking to iran and trying to get them to reduce their enrichment capability and to ultimately stop them from getting a nuclear bom

and iran's neighbors support it. usually, sanctions wear thin over time. if other countries believe that iran made a reasonable offer that the united states turned down they're unlikely to continue to support a tight sanctions regime. remember countries like china and india are eager to trade with iran and buy its oil which sells at a discount. if however, the sanctions can be maintained iran will be in trouble. oil prices have halved and iran is bleeding resources in syria and iraq. but would continued sanctions halt iran's nuclear program? that's highly unlikely. iran has expanded its nuclear program under sanctions for the last two decades. in 2003 iran had under 200 centrifuges. today it has 19,000. all built under sanctions. the restrictions are now tighter, if they last but iran's nuclear establishment is also much larger today. that raises option two -- a military attack. when people speak of a strike on iran like israel's against an iraqi reactor in 1981 and a syrian facility in 2007 it is worth keeping in mi

to do with iran's nuclear capacity. and we start with ben rhodes he is the professional assistant to the president and deputy national security advisor for communications. first of all charlie we do not believe there was any deal that could have been agreed to in which iran got rid of its erin much capacity. days mantelled its enrichment capability and no other country would have supported us taking that position. what we tried to do though charlie is assign practical needs to iran's nuclear program. so for instance the centrifuges that they're operating, some of those will be converted to the purpose of medical research. so they are essentially producing medical isotopes for research. so we have tried to again draw a line between what what their capacity is and what peaceful purpose that nuclear capacity feeds into. and then of cose close off through the inspections and the limitations on the program, any ability to transfer that capacity towards a weapons program. >> rose: we continue looking at the iranian deal with

and iran. my sense is that from the beginning of these talks, it was almost taken for granted that congress was not going to let these sanctions -- there was going to have to be a way not just to deal with iran's hard-liners, which we know part of their adages we can't deal with united states, and their political powers comes with the dispute with the united states, we have be mindful of the hard-liners in the united states who would never lift the sanctions. the deal being constructed takes that into account and attempts to ensure that if hard-liners in iran gain the upper hand, or if congress tries to take action to kill this deal they will not be an interval part of this deal. the deal can survive even if congress screws things up. that is why it has been constructed the way it has. the deal would have time to demonstrate that it can work and the next president can convince congress to lift the sanctions. a lot is uncertain right now. there are still big issues. there are two key issues that

and cash will be flooding into iran and iran's cash flow will be that much easier to sponsor groups like hesbollah and hams, and of course the syrian regime celebrated the deal as well. that's why the israelis are saying that the time deal must include iran accepting the existence of the state of israel. >> where does that leave us? is there anything in the deal that the israelis can accept. the compromise is not what we wanted and this works for us does it work for the other negotiating parties? >> the only thing that the israelis would look at and say it is positive, it could buy them ten years before iran makes a dash for a bomb. but there is awe sunset provision to allow iran to get back to business and making the nuclear weapon when the deal ends and that's of course the real problem that the israelis have with what is put on the table. >> great to see you, thank you so much. >> trusting iran to tell the truth about the nuclear program. diplomats from other world powers placing their faith in the negotiations and ambassador john bolton will join us on his thoughts. >> a massive

iran is a client. along with oil reserves, there's a population of 80 million, an old arab culture and an allegiance to the shia branch of islam, putting it at odds with sunni rulers. what does iran want? can it get it without a nuclear weapon. stay with us, it's "inside story". >> part of al jazeera america's >> special month long evironmental focus fragile planet >> al jazeera america brings you a first hand look at the environmental issues, and new understanding of our changing world. >> it's the very beginning >> this was a storm of the decade >>...hurricane... >> we can save species... >> our special month long focus, . >> welcome to "inside story" on al jazeera america. i'm ray suarez. president obama's team and the president himself took pains over the weekend to stress how the process is far from finished. how much difficult work there is style do. and that is with the other negotiating teams. the administration has plenty to do here at home to win over converts. clampdown on opposition and buy

iran's behavior. the flip side we'll give them billions of dollars more which senator corker mentions which boosts their economy and their ability to be a bad actor. >> well i think one way to look at this in terms of whether we conceded too much is to look at who is chairing the agreement and who is not. why are our adversaries more excited about this deal than our strategic allies, like france and saudi arabia and the rest of the sunnis and the arab states as well as israel. >> all right. >>> we have to take a break here. but when we come back, the fire storm of a religious freedom bill in indiana and arkansas raises questions over who is really being intolerant. our sunday group debates that. >>> plus a dismal jobs report has experts wondering how strong is the economic recovery. ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn rel

highway can we trust iran. the president in his statement said, we don't need to trust iran we'll have unprecedented access. >> but that's one of the core issues which is, we're not -- a not getting access to the military sites which is where they have been doing this apparently, some of the research on nuclear weapons development. but the broader question ask that we don't understand yet the way of think of it is, a flame work agreement i would emphasize framework rather than agreement. we don't know what is inside this. because they don't know. we don't know if inspectors can make surprise inspections, if all facilities will be open, if suddenly discover another facility allowed to go into this? there are million questions about this. to answer the question to david there are dozen ways this can fall apart. >> o'donnell: one of the chief criticisms of this deal you heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu it doesn't dismantle any facility, infrastructure still in place. allow iran to be a threshold state.

giving away on the deal with iran. the country is seeing that that kind of retreat yields really terrible results. i think the problem that rand paul has is his association is noninterventionism is now a problem and he has to tach back which, again undermines his other strength which is his authenticity. >> they will say you are too inside the beltway and i will get the emails. i will send them to you. >> jeb bush went online to twitter to say and apologize for listing himself as hispanic on a voter registration form. my mistake. don't think i fooled anyone and his son said come on, dad think you checked the wrong box honorary latino. really? >> it's odd and caught political reporters. i don't think it ended up being a big deal. nobody had who was going to vote for jeb bush or likes him is going to feel differently and people hostile to him are not going to change. >> he is head of an hispanic family. you can say that. >> his wife. >> i tried. >> if he runs against elizabeth warren it will be hispanic and native americ

iran is an important country in the region. iran is an important country. charlie: no one will deny that. min. javad zarif: so is this important, to deal with that country with people who will not capitulate, but who are there to engage? iranian people have chosen the path of engagement. it is now high time, i believe for the united states to choose the same path. i believe we have seen some signs. we need to see that come to fruition through an agreement that is respectful of iran's rights and dignity. if you have that agreement, iran will implement that agreement, because we believe that agreement is in the interest of everybody. charlie: thank you for coming. our foreign minister of iran. back in a moment. stay with us. ♪ charlie: megan smith is here. she is the chief technology officer of the united states. she has been called tech's chief evangelist in government. she left her executive role at google to bring her expertise at the white house. she has the task to unleash the power of technology on behalf of the nation. i'm pleased to welcome her to t

and iran opposed and so we accommodated iran's position. how has this soiled the waters or made things more complex and convoluted than may otherwise be the case and what are the implications? adel: there are a lot of conspiracy theories but i don't subscribe to them. but the issue is there's no doubt iran benefited from the invasion of iraq and the toppling of the taliban government in afghanistan. no doubt about it. the taliban were iran's ideological enemies and saddam hussein was viewed as the bulwark against iran stepping into the region. this happened. i don't believe this was the objective of the united states at the time. but this is the situation that we're dealing with now. the question becomes, how do you stop iran's mischief in the region, their involvement in lebanon and syria and iraq. they're trying to cause problems in because rain and their involvement in yemen. all of these are areas of great concern to the people of the region. now -- and this is irrespective of the nuclear generations. the issue of the nuclear negotiatio

iran has said it wants 400 new planes as sanctions are lifted. iran's car industry would benefit. and at the peak in 2011 iran was producing more than a million and a half cars a year. there is no direct ban on imports and pharmaceutical but restricting on banking and shipping badly hit the healthcare sector, a deal would help iran get medical supplies it needs. sanctions have shot tehran out of the global banking system and several of the state-owned banks are close to collapse and opening of this sector would help. iran's currency would get a boost but corruption would still be a problem. >> i think the government of president rouhani have to privatize the economy further and remove the power of the quasi national and governmental organizations from the economy in order to make it more productive. >> reporter: more than half of people here are too young to remember the revolution of 1979. they have grown up in a country where one in four people are out of work. the cost of living keeps rising. many will be holding their breath now hoping things will change. i'm with al jazeera.

iran has cheated in the past. north korea. they said the same arguments about north korea, if will make them peaceful make them abandon their program and the opposite has happened. what is happening with this deal is that what has been illegitimate is being legitimized. iran's nuclear program is being legitimized. they're given the ability not only to maintain their infrastructure but within a few years to increase it. they don't have to violate it. they can walk into many bombs. i think that's very dangerous. i think what is required is the application of very strong sanctions that have proven effective. they were only applied, financial sanctions and the oil sanctions, tough, biting sanctions were applied for the first time in 2012 got them immediately to the table. if they weren't together when you get to the table, why when you get to the table do you start lifting them immediately. they do work. that's what's required. there's still time to get a better deal and apply pressures on iran to abandon, roll back the program an

the threat of iran for years now. he's made two speeches to the u.s. congress most recently a month ago he has spoken for the u.n. general assembly. all of those speeches were about the threat to iran. now here we are with the framework agreement, and mr. netanyahu saying very much the same. this deal not only threatens in his words the middle east or world, but it threatens the very existence of israel. he most certainly will carry on with the rhetoric and most certainly continue to criticize this deal. it's, of course, very clear that not only mr. netanyahu is unhappy with this deal so too is his security cabinet as well. >> and as he alluded to israeli objections may not be the biggest issues facing the obama administration. it has to convince some skeptics in congress not to take action until a deal is done. i speak an hour ago about josh ernest about the challenge from capitol hill. let's start with what say congress should have. should they have a right to accept or reject a deal of this magnitude? >> congress p

i don't think they will get favorable votes out of him on iran or cub a. >> speaking of iran, what do we know about what we are hearoth the negotiations that are going under way and having for months? >> there is an old saying, those who know don't talk, and they who do know. and they are still talking but it makes me wonder, you know, one of the criticisms that the u.s. seems to be negotiating from a deal of weakness and we should be negotiating from a position of strength since we posed the negotiations on iran and one wondering why we continue to take no for an answer and don't just walk away. >> it will be fascinating to hear your show on sunday. chris wallace thank you. >> you bet. ntwo women in new york city courtroom accused of trying to build a bomb. the new york city police department arrested them and insists that the public was never in danger. they will be charged in a few hours. david lee is at the courthouse. >> reporter: that's right. we understand the court appearance will take place after two college local time. two men from queen's new york were arrested and charged

and iran but within iran a political conflict inside iran? >> you can't help but think that. i mean, you know the uniqueness of the case the fact that it's gone on for so long. it's so different than any other cases without any evidence against him to hold him for nine months without a trial. there's got to be other things going on but things he doesn't control. it's completely absurd. >> your brother, as you know co-wrote and was featured in a documentary about his second visit to iran to reconnect with his father's homeland. let's take a look at that documentary. >> we chose an old shed for the ride back to town. >> this is part of your brother's story, your father from iran. this is part of your heritage. this is one of your home countries, right? do you feel conflicted emotions about that? >> i think we were growing up really influenced by the iranian culture, there were so many relatives around and it's difficult for me as half iranian to look at it and see what's happening. >> do you feel betrayed? >> i haven't put my trust in the country as much as jason did. jason cer

iran's foreign minister says if the west walks away from the agreement, then iran will be able to resume its nuclear program as it was operating previously. >> molly, thank you very much live in washington tonight. >>> we want to know what you think. it's time for you become a part of the show. will a deal with iran make the world safer or less safe? and is the current deal on the table tough enough to halt iran's nuclear ambitions? tweet me at julie banderas. i will read some of your responses later in the show. >>> enormous brawl erupting among some thirsty drinkers at a casino. more dramatic video of folks throwing down. >>> plus wait until you hear what started this whole thing. >>> continuing coverage of the nuclear agreement with iran. we are going to tell you what some potential presidential candidates have to say about it. that and much much more coming up tonight on "fox report." don't be shy, try some pie! you're giving away pie? what would you like apple or cherry? cherry. can i top that with oil or cream? excuse me? oil...or cream? definitely cream! a slice of pie always soun

iran is training and equipping the militias in iran. and the senior parliament said sanaa is the fourth capital to fall in our hands. how does this now concern this washington post correspondent who is being held on charges deemed ludicrous by people here in the united states inside iran? let's bring in senior international correspondent frederik pleitgen standing by live in tehran for us. good morning, fred. >> reporter: good morning, john. it is interesting. the difference between much of the world sees iran and the way iranians see themselves. the national army day here two days ago. the president rouhani held a speech and said iranians believe their military is a stabilizing factor not only for iran but for the entire region. they clearly have a very different point of view of their role here in the middle east. there is the believe it was the iranians who stabilized iraq. this very a better strategy when it comes to fighting isis. they believe the way they are training the shi'ite militia is more effective. they also claim that as

they have politics in iran. the have a spectrum from hardliners to elements that are not nearly as extreme. we would do this deal in any case. 10, 15, 20 years from now, we would do this deal even if the iranian regime is just as difficult as it is today because we feel the deal works on the merits. however, a potential outcome of this agreement is strengthening forces inside of iran that are more moderate like the iranian people, the middle class that want to be connected to the global economy and the community of nations. it affords us the opportunity to test whether or not there can be a process over time of moderation in iran and among iranian policy. we are not betting on that. we are betting on the good deal. and even as we implement this deal, we still have sanctions on terrorism and human rights other issues that concern us. we want to see that behavior evolving and changing over time as well. charlie: it has been a busy day and you have been up all night. thank you for taking time to come see us. ben: t

would not destroy a single centrifuge in iran and would not stop on iran's centrifuges. on the contrary the deal would legitimize iran's illegal nuclear program. >> secretary of state kerry having spent 19 of the last 34 days negotiating in switzerland arrived at 6:00 a.m. in the nation's capitol with aides professing little concern about how he was portraying the term. >> the fact is he is not contradicting any of the facts included. and he is obviously out there trying to make the case to his population and his country's leadership that he got a good deal. we are doing the same thing. >> reporter: state department officials acknowledge that parameters is tentative including iran's estimated breakout time would remain one year after the attempt here. >> part of what is being negotiated. >> whether inspectors have access to military installation. >> we would find it very difficult to imagine one that did not require. >> what would happen when inspectors deem a site suspicious. >> the dispute resolution process all details have to be worked out. >> reporter: and how soon

as iran has a program iran's enrichment policy and stockpile will be limited for specific durations, and there will be no other enrichment facility. iran's research and development will be carried out on a scope and schedule that has been mutually agreed. it will be converted from an enrichment site into a nuclear physics and technology center. international collaboration will be encouraged in areas of research. there will not be any material. an international joint venture will assist iran in redesigning and rebuilding a modernized heavy water research reactor in iraq. there will be no fuel. including implementation of the modified code 3.1 and provisional application of the additional protocol. the international atomic energy agency will be permitted the use of modern technologies and will have access to agreed procedures, including to clarify past and present issues. iran will take part in the field of civilian nuclear energy which can include supply of power and research reactors. another important area of cooperation will be in the field of nuclear safety and security. european

and iran but within iran a political conflict inside iran? >> you can't help but think that. i mean you know the uniqueness of the case the fact that it's gone on for so long it's so different than any other cases without any evidence against him, to hold him for nine months without a trial. there's got to be other things going on. but things he doesn't control. it's just completely completely absurd. >> your brother, as you know co-wrote and was featured in a documentary about his second visit to iran to reconnect with his father's homeland. that's had i background that's his background. let's look at that documentary. >> the ride back to tehran. >> this is part of your brother's story, your family's story. your father from iran. this is part of your heritage. this is one of your home countries, right? do you feel conflicted emotions about that? >> you know i think we were growing up really influenced by the iranian culture. there were so many relatives around. and it's difficult for me as half iranian to look at it and see what's happening. >> do you feel betrayed? >> i hav

moreover, international inspectors will have unprecedented access to iran's nuclear program because iran will face more inspections than any other country in the world. if iran cheats, the world will know it. if we see something suspicious we will inspect it. so this deal is not based on trust, it's based on unprecedented verification. and this is a long-term deal with strict limits on iran's program for more than a decade and unprecedented transparency measures that will last for 20 years or more. and as a member of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, iran will never be permitted to develop a nuclear weapon. in return for iran's actions, the international community, including the united states, has agreed to provide iran with phased relief from certain sanctions. if iran violates the deal, sanctions can be snapped back into place. meanwhile, other american sanctions on iran for its support of terrorism, its human rights abuses, its ballistic missile program, all will continue to be enforced. as i said this week, many key details will need to be finalized over the next three months, an
