of all the joys and jubilations that we're getting clips of it from the streets of tehran and it's all young people out there impatiently waiting for the sanctions to be lifted. and with all these strong measures that have been put into this agreement to stop iran from making a nuclear bomb it seems to me that this regime will be on a suicide mission if they do not comply with this agreement. they have a lot of answering to do to their own domestic population and also to the world. so i need your input on this. thank you. >> yeah i might grab that one if i may as somebody who has been to iran a number of times. people say oh, it's the regime and the regime makes all the decisions. it's ayatollah khamenei. it's the supreme leader, that public opinion has nothing to do with it. this is not north korea. public opinion does have something to do with the policies undertaken by the government. yeah, they do a lot of things in the region that frankly most iranians don't support. they don't like to see their money going to syria and to lebanon and to iraq. they would like it spent at home. but

investment company, a couple of banks, and their investment arm which is the investment arm on the tehran stock exchange. this eiko was listed under an executive order which was not a nuclear related sanction but it was a sanction addressing deceptive financial practices and the risk they posed to the integrity of the international financial system. in 2013, the u.s. treasury designated them, along with 37 subsidiaries, stating that they continue to generate and control massive off the books investments shielded from the view of the iranian people and international regulators. we've also talked about the amount of money that will be freed up to iran. it's been characterize being between $100 billion to $250 billion. secretary lew spent time at the hearing last week talking about how it may be around $55 billion or so, not $100 billion. what's the purpose of delisting these entities, and from reuters studies and other well, know that eiko has $95 billion worth of assets and they're coming off of this list. there may be some sanctions the u.s. will maintain to be in place against them direc

congress should as well mitigate the risk and tended to the regime in tehran. these principles could help form the basis of a new strategy to address the real and dangerous risks stemming from iran. u.s. should adopt a financial conscription campaign that engage in terrorist financing and support to militias. this could include the use of secondary sanctions. there should be a recommitment to the elements of a nonproliferation regime, and a dedicated strategy focused on the proliferation risk dealing with any deal of iran. this would deal with tighter control and financial restrictions tied to actors, including iranian banks. this could be amplified with the program, perhaps led by the european union to create a monitoring system through a swift, akin to what we build in the terrorist financing program to track suspect banking transactions. the global human rights accountability at could be used extensively to target holdings of the iranian regime and those involved in gross human rights violations on his behalf. i know this is of deep concern and is an issue f

humes went to tehran to get some answers. what are you hearing? you investors have an appetite for this? >> it seems like it. it's a country with very low levels of debt and is about 11% of gdp which is low, one of the lowest in the world. and iave a lot of oil have a very educated population. they have more people in university than in switzerland according to education statistics. it's a country that has a lot of promise especially when you look around the developing world with places in turmoil. it seems like when investors can start to get in there, they would have appetite for it. they have promised but a lot of the international committee sees iran is international pariah. what you see when you were there? >> i saw the part of the country that people see as a national pariah but a vast majority of the country is incredibly well educated, eager to reengage with frankly, the part of the country that is the international pariah, the hardliners are the ones pushing the hardest within the country not to have the accord signed. is a well educated

congress should as well mitigate the risks intended to embolden regimes in tehran. these principles then could help form the basis of any strategy to to address the real and dangerous risk stemming i'm iran. the u.s. should adopt a financial constriction campaign focusing on the irgc quds force in core elements of the regime that engage in proliferation of weapons and nuclear technology and support to militias. this could include the use of secondary sanctions. there should be a recommitment to the elements of the nonproliferation regime and a dedicated strategy focusing on the proliferation risks attendant to any deal with iran. this would include tighter export enforcement interdictions and financial restrictions tied to suspect iranian actors and activities including iranian banks. the elements of the patriot act section 311 next against iran in the central bank of iran should be reiterated and reinforced with the decimation of primary money laundering concern against the transactions involving any iranian bank. this mr. chairman to be amplified with a program pe

s -- i believe senior administration officials in germany, government officials are already in tehran already. companies looking to set up shop looking to invest billions as they did before. they're there now. this deal isn't even done yet and they're there. they can't wait, licking their clock to reinvest in one of the -- not one of the biggest the biggest terrorist regime in the world. to kill more americans than probably any country in the world in the last 30 years. of course this is disappointing but this history is a reminder to all of us that the sanctions regime that secretary kerry talks about that we certainly did have iran surrounded in terms of sanctions that was 110% american-led sanctions regime. democrats, republicans this congress the bush administration and yes a lot of credit to the obama administration on this economic isolation of iran. which is what brought them to the table to begin with. so if we reimpose sanctions there certainly won't be a snap when it happens. it will be slow. it will be a slog again trying to convince reluctant europeans, russians, chinese t

embassy in tehran. eventually you were released. do you believe the iranians will release these four americans? >> they will. but it's a process that plays out inside their own political system. it's very tough to read. this is not helping them at all but there are elements within iranian politics that simply don't care. and for their own reasons are holding them. >> the revolutionary guard and fundamentalist? >> yes. >> so you see a real split within iran between the more moderate and less moderate? >> absolutely. we were part of that whole process as well 36 years ago. >> back in 1979, 1980. a lot of us remember that. your bottom line right now -- and i know you've been in touch with amir hekmati's family. they live in your district. maybe the iranians will wise up and let these americans go? >> they should. they have to understand that continuing to hold these americans is a liability to them. we should move forward on this agreement because i think it makes the world safer but eastern needs to understand, if they really want to

i don't think they're looking for liberalism western style to break out tomorrow in tehran but they are more pragmatic when they weigh the economic benefits and benefits of international engagement versus support for terrorism and things like the nuclear program and are more interested in those first set of interests for iran. are they going to gain more influence and then be able to reflect into a more pragmatic iranian foreign policy? there's a strong case to make that that's the case. rouhani was elected based on the fact that it was allowed to come to power by the supreme leader based on the fact that he would get the sanctions relief, get the nuclear agreement. he's going to have tremendous credibility now and be leverage. we have parliamentary elections in iran next march. it will be an interesting time in terms of the sanctions relief calendar that richard just laid out to see if the pragmatic faction can pick up more seats inside the iranian system. and we're going to have to see i do think rouhani and zarif could have potentially more influence in other areas of iranian foreign

the bureaucratic red tape in tehran is as cumbersome and difficult to deal with as anywhere else in the world. it's notable that a number of international oil companies said that they don't find the current contract that the iranians are starting to beat about for oil services is all that attractive. they're looking for better terms. it speektsaks to the fact that they will have time to overcome resistance and nervousness from other companies to plunge back in. iran is going to get a benefit and the real threat to i think the longevity of the deal is this benefit is to slow in coming on. there is a very significant risk that the iranians at some point say, we're not getting what we need and it's at that point that you can see them say, we need to reconsider the terms of this deal. so i think basically the sanctions we picture in iran is favorable to the p 5 plus 1, favorable to the united states. it will provide iran some advantages but it is not something that is going to overnight change the iranian economy. it's going to take time and there are ways to control it still further. thank

. >> france is today announcing diplomatic relations with tehran. china and russia were roped into this as reluctant members of the permanent members of the security council. so where do you see them playing a role as well? >> i think it's important to remember that china and russia play pretty important roles in getting this thing over the line as you know as well as anybody, you were there. the chinese are involved and russians have done work everybody has done their bit to get this done. so i think there's a clear commitment to making it work. but if it begins to fall apart if the united states doesn't want to do it and doesn't want to do any lifting of the relevant sanctions, united nations and so on then i think we will find it very hard to maintain the international unity that has caught us a deal and got the iranians to negotiate finally on this thing. so where they would go in light of the united states ditching the agreement i can't be sure but at the global level we would have to be prepared for a lot of these sanctions to begin to erode v

if they ever did that tehran would be a combination of glass and sand and cement within 15 minutes. >> yes they would. at the same time, though a nuclear weapon gives countries like pakistan so much power that you have -- now i haven't talked to a foreign policy expert over the last five ten years who doesn't say pakistan is the most dangerous country in the face of the earth. would we like iran to switch? yes. i mean an iran that comes into the community of nations is a great tradeup for the middle east for the world. but over the past couple weeks, you have had their leader continuing talking about -- talking about wiping israel off the face of the earth. calling us the great satan. saying they're going to do everything they can do to damage the united states of america. we have done a deal. barack obama has done a deal with iran and over the past week or two all they have done is actually fed into critics like myself who believe they can't change. they're incapable of changing. give them a nuclear weapon and then they have the power of pakistan. >> can i ask mike this question. how

and clear why there was cheering in the streets of tehran when the deal was announced. the international atomic energy agency will not be allowed to inspect iranian facilities and bases but will allow iranians to perform the inspections of their own nuclear facilities and self-report to the iaea. the iranian site agreements don't approach the standard of trust, but verify and certainly don't contain anything remotely close to the promise 24-7 inspections any time. the obama negotiating team has basically, it seems, thrown their hands in the air and yielded unimaginable, unthinkable power to the iranians. we take up why critics are calling the so-called deal a document surrender on the issue of a nuclear iran. former nato supreme allied commander admiral james stavridis and james demint here tonight. >>> as the broadcast long suspected he would, president obama today spoke longingly of a third term. it seems mr. obama can't get enough of being fawned over by the mainstream liberal media and entertainer activists like jon stewart, who act as agents of president's agenda.

the head of the iaea went twice to tehran to negotiate agreements with iran as they do with every other nonproliferation treaty signatory state. what they do is have confident confidential agreements. so he then returned and sat down with kerry and the others and briefed them on what he had just negotiated. that's not good enough for you. >> well, under the law that we passed, the corker bill congress has the right to review this agreement. so if we're not going to produce everything, if we're going to hide secret deals from congress -- >> they're saying it's not secret. they are briefing you on it but it's not part of the agreement. >> i have not been briefed on it. >> verification process. okay. >> i have not been briefed on these secret deals. apparently the secretary has. and they have not presented this to the congress. i think that's -- you talk about trans parns si transparency, i think it will be helpful if there's no deception going on. we need to know the full picture here and what the iaea's verification north and process really is here because that's critical to this deal is

that don't believe that israel should exist, that there are still regular death to america rallies in tehran. >> there are those voices. but of course there are voices in america that call for the destruction of the islamic republic. you even heard a senator praising the iranian terrorist organization and calling for basically -- >> the mek. >> yes. >> a dissident organization. >> until very recently was a terrorist organization until recently by the united states. so he is praising them. so voices like that when they are heard in iran for the right-wing in iran that's basically proof for them that there are americans out to destroy the islamic republic. >> so there are hard liners on both sides and they run out the real substantive debate. >> yes. and what actually the conversation misses is that the reformers -- you could say moderates in iran they are all for this agreement. it's not as if this agreement is signed this is going to strengthen the islamic republic and strengthen iran. even if they dislike the islamic republic they think there will be some reforms opening up because of this.

assad is killing 500 people a month at least and the blood is on the hands of the men intphin tehran. you are not going to be able to persuade them to change just by charm, you will need to threaten them with new sanctions unless they change their behavior. we have seen sanctions cause iran to change behavior even on very important things to iran. i am not asking you whether you think new sanctions are a good or bad idea and whether europe will follow or not but i will only focus on what is legal under this agreement. you were asked about this in the senate and you said we will not violate the agreement if we use our authorities to impose sanctions on iran for terrorism human rights, missiles or other nonnuclear reasons, and then the provision in paragraph 26 that commits the united states to refrain from re-introducing or reimposing the sanctions specificed, which are the best sanctions we have got, although we could probably come up with new ones if you tell us the old ones are forbidden. so you were also asked if we reempose sanctions on the central bank of iran, would that violate

the regime in tehran is hell bent on destroying israel. if they get the bomb what is their first target going to be? the israel and the jewish homeland. let's focus on the important thing which is the iran deal and debate going on in congress. bill: mike warren from washington. setting the table and leading our coverage. thank you again timely for this iran hearing which begins 55 minutes from now. martha: everybody is scrambling for attention in this huge pack of 16 candidates. so we'll talk about the political implications and implications for israel as well. >>> meantime new details in the irs targeting scandal as a top republican is calling on president obama to fire the hedge of that agency. house oversight committee chairman jason chaffetz says the irs commissioner john koskinen must go. he says he has obstructed congress's investigation. if president obama refuses to fire him congress will take action. >> you can not come to congress, give false statements and keep your job. congress has the duty and responsibility to get after it a

because tehran within an hour will be a rubble of class if and sand if they ever did that. >> well, listen meek it gets to, do you believe the ayatollah? that is his stated position on israel the stated position the day the deal was announced. the day za riff was standing next to john kerry announcing the deem ayatollah was recommitting his countries and himself to the destruction of is ralg. so do you believe him? >> do you believe there is a split in the iranian political hierarchy? >> i believe there are people that run the country. >> he runs the country. >> the ayatollah runs the country. >> nicole, if you believe the stated position of the ayatollah that he wishes to destroy israel and wipe it off the map, you must also believe the stated position of the ayatollah and the iranian leadership that they will never build a nuclear bomb right? if that's what we're going by in assessing the deal. >> well, listen i don't have a vote, but the congress is going to look at this. i think the way people counting votes look at this is the republicans are opposed. democrats are getting a lot of pr

i believe russia and tehran teamed up against the united states during these negotiations. >> actually, the iranians were furious at the russians on any number of accounts. the russians they felt were not cooperative with them and didn't help them. you're exactly wrong. >> well, that's -- time will judge us on all of that. but just coming back from ukraine and seeing what's happening as well as from astonia, and i can see the be belligerence and aggression of russia. thank you. mr. chairman, my time has expired. >> it's my understanding you guys want to keep rolling for a while and not take a break. is that correct? >> i didn't know that. i don't know. >> that's what julia mentioned to us. but if you want to -- why don't we take a five-minute break. y'all are -- five minute break taken. >> i have to be over at the house is my problem. they don't have to be there, i have to be at the house. you have to be at the house also. supposed to be at the house in 20 minutes. >> you want to keep going then? >> well, i'm happy to try to get whatever we can in those 15 20 minutes if you'll allow me
