need to be strictly and aggressively enforcing the terms of our nuclear deal with iran that we reached with a variety of our other international partners and that is currently moving forward. and we need to push back on iran's bad and disruptive behavior not just in its region but globally, and to give our administration and international agencies the resources and the nominees confirmed that will allow them to be successful in enforcing our actions against iran. mr. president, just a few short months ago if you asked anyone what topics would be at the top of the list of america's foreign policy conversation for the upcoming prim campaign, you would have been -- upcoming presidential campaign you would have been hard pressed to find anyone who didn't mention the iran nuclear agreement front and center. it was in this chamber and around the country last summer and fall. what a difference a few months can make. this morning many of us are deeply concerned about an alleged bomb threat in los angeles that's causing hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren to be sent home midschool day. ans

and other technologies. we did that job before there were negotiations with iran on its nuclear program, we did it throughout the negotiations, and we do it today, with the same tenacity and creativity, and partnership with dozens of dedicated agencies across the federal government. we will keep doing it. since the negotiation of the jcp oa we have devoted our chief resources and support of the ambassador's admission to to achieve full implementation of the jcp oa. in particular, we work hard unsupported cooperation with the international atomic energy agency, agency, as well as in creation with a procurement channel that can meet the limited, legitimate nuclear needs that iran may have under the jcp oa. it in no way diminishes, as as i said the task of counter proliferation, of preventing acquisition of technology. i look forward to addressing any concerns or questions you have about these two central roles in my bureau. or any other topic. thank you thank you again for this opportunity. >> thank you very much. >> thank you chairman corker, ranking member, and ranking members o

state and energy departments testify about the nuclear deal with iran. senate foreign relations committee members focus inquiries on iran's testing up to ballistic missiles in october and the ability of the us to enforce key provisions of the agreement. this runs two and a half hours. [inaudible conversations] >> i want to thank our witnesses for being here. senators here at the moment. i know others will be joining. this hearing is the 1st public meeting the committee has held since we began to oversee implementation of the iran deal.deal. i would like to underscore the importance of the oversight. the strongest element of the year-end review act. we intend all another hearing in january after the administration submits the 180 day report. and one 3rd if implementation day occurs. i'm sure there will be more after that and we will work to make sure that those are scheduled in a timely fashion. as we begin this process, it is worth noting whether or not any less support or oppose the agreement, the deal is being implemented at present. the matter what anyone's view on the agreem

international support for iran's nuclear weapons program. any exception to provide materials or other resources to iran's missile program is for written by you and security resolution -- un security council. the united states will veto any other things requested. sen. corker: i will reserve the rest of my time for interjections. senator menendez? menendez: thank you for your testimony. i would like to follow up with what the chairman, his line of questioning was. before i do so i want to echo senator cardin's comments about the chairman's process of leaving the committee. i do appreciate probably the most bipartisan committee in the united senate -- united states senate. it needs to be as bipartisan as it can so i appreciate it. sen. corker: if i could, i was ranking when you are chair. you have no idea how much i appreciate the way that you dealt with me and your staff. the respect. just know that when someone like you is chair, it sets an example that really causes those who come behind you to want to do the same. sen. menendez: i hope to do so tha again. there had to be a point of

, i stress that we fully concur with you and the rest of this committee that iran has violated these security council resolutions in its missile program and does commit many other things that are very hostile to our interests and our friends' interests. >> what are we going to do it? that's the question. >> iran is one of the most sanctioned countries on earth thanks to a really effective partnership that we've had with this committee over two presidential administrations in putting together a patchwork of sanctions regime that has exacted serious costs to the iranian economy. we believe going forward, you know, as these violations -- as we confirm these missile launches, we've been swift in condemning them as we did, as ambassador power did, in the security council, and measures that we will take in response to those confirmed missile launches, we are actively considering additional measures at this moment. >> well, if you say to me, ambassador, that they're the most sanctioned, it almost implies that there's nothing else we can do. if that's the case, then we're in deep trouble, bu

testify on the nuclear deal with iran. the hearing held by the senate foreign relations committee focused on october 2015 testing of two ballistic missile by iran and the u.s. ability to enforce keeper visions of the agreement. this is two and half hour. >> would like to thank our witnesses for being here. we know senators that are here at the moment, others will be joining. this hearing is the first public meeting the committee has held as we began overseeing the implementation of the iran deal. i would like to underscore the importance that we play some oversight efforts. in many ways i think that is the strongest element of the firebrand review act. we intend to hold another hearing in january after the administration submits the 180 day report, as required by the iran review act. f third, if implementation day occurs. i'm sure there are more to follow after that and we will work with that and we'll work with the ranking members and others to make sure those are scheduled in a timely fashion. as we begin this process, it is worth noting whether or not any of us supported or opposed thi

well. they want to play a role in bouncing the interest of syria, iraq, iran, saudi iran, saudi arabia and other regional powers as well. you can see given the role that russia has played in a different demo craddick issues, it's been successful in inserting itself into the center of the conversation. they may now hold the key to a peace deal, but it's possible to them imagine a a peace deal that didn't include moscow. russia is not going to match the influence it had during the cold war. they want show other states that russia is a force they can turn to, especially if they want to balance against the united states. we've seen this over the last year or so. egypt was a country that had been very much identified as the pro- western camp the united states had turned its back on the country and the time of need and when the new government consolidated itself, sense that the united states was a fair weather friend. while egypt is not shipping out in the united states camp, the fact that it has engaged in diplomatic overture with moscow and there have been agreements on military sales and

nuclear deal with iran during a hearing of the senate foreign relations committee. lawmakers focused their inquiry on the october 2015 casting of two ballistic missiles by iran and the ability of the u.s. to enforce key provisions in the agreement. >> the committee has held since we began to see the over implementation of the iran deal. i would to underscore the importance -- i think that was the strongest element of the iran review act. we intend to hold another hearing in january after the administration submit the 180 day report has required by the iran review act. the, a third, if implementation day occurs, i'm sure there will be more to follow after that and we will work with making members and others to make sure that those are scheduled in a timely fashion. as we begin this process, it is worth noting that whether or not any of us supported or opposed this agreement, the deal is being implemented at present. i think a matter what, anyone's view on the agreement is or was, we all support the goal for preventing iran of getting a nuclear weapon. one area that we all agree on is when h

iran brings up 2 million barrels a day, they will emit 100,000 more metric tons per day than the u.s. does from gulf of mexico. if one of the concerns from our colleagues on the other side is co2, it lowers global co2 by exporting u.s. oil. and let me credit my colleagues in the back, ms. gorman and mr. frampton in researching this editorial. that said, mr. crane, in your testimony you speak one thing we could do to help shut down is that although isis is a wash in cash they do do business with large enterprises and at some point may attempt to move it into banks if they have not already done so is. and you say they could increase costs. why haven't we already? i'm thinking we should have done this a year ago. has it been a pathway not pursued? >> my understanding is that they don't use banks much. the question is there is a number, as you know, heavy trucks, class a vehicles cost over $100,000 a year. some of them are operated by fleet operators. some are operating the vehicles. a lot of them are owner-operators. >> you mentioned specifically some charge companies that they must dea

security and supply and understanding the global picture. iran and iraq have some of the largest oil reserves in the world. by some estimates fourth and fifth largest in the world. so control over this oil has a major impact. overall, the movement of oil from the middle east to world markets is also key to the stability of global supplies. global energy security depends on diversity of supplies in different countries. what happens still matters, because in addition to the united states, growing countries like china have an enormous energy need and they will continue to look for resources for those energy needs to be met. in today's market, where there's robust supply, it would take a significant disruption, maybe somewhere around 5% to 10% to really disrupt the market. to give that a sense of perspective, today's global production is approximately 94 million barrels per day. the isis oil production is about 35,000. so that's somewhere between one-tenth less -- less than one-tenth of 1%. it's clear though that this is a constantly shifting dynamic. and in a tight market, a very, very

meetings. yesterday delaware democrat chris coons came to the floor to talk about the iran nuclear agreement. his remarks on the senate floor are about 25 minutes. >> mr. president, today our nation is a distracted by grave concern, by threats abroad and at home by concerned about our economy and our people. and i stand here today to call us to continue to be focused on something that's not currently the top of the news but on something that is a pressing an ongoing national concern. we need to be strictly and aggressively enforcing the terms of our nuclear deal with iran that we reached with a variety of our other international partners and that is currently moving forward. and we need to push back on iran's bat and disruptive behavior not just in its region but globally, and to give our administration and international agencies the resources and the nominees confirmed that will allow them to be successful in enforcing our actions against iran. mr. president, just a few short -- a few short months because anyone what topics would be at the top of the list of america's foreign poli

and may be for quite some time to come. we also know that iran, one of the most deadly state sponsors of terrorism will soon be rejoining the global oil market if president obama gets his way, even as he continues to fight efforts by many of us to repeal the outdated oil export bantha -- ban that would allow us to send oil to allies. it does beg the question and part of the discussion hopefully this morning will be with that new source of revenue that iran is anticipated to receive, what do they do with it? what will the intentions be? is it to build hospitals or direct yet additional sources of revenue to the terrorists organizations? in recent months, we have seen a great deal of discussion about isis oil production and distribution and efforts to disrupt this source of revenue. bottom line is that the islamic state, this oil is helping to finance terrorism and significantly finance terrorism. i have argue used it's central to national security. we released staff reports. one was entitled oil production outages. also, a report entitled, a dark pool in the mideast, the problem of isi

after a major gas leak. and the road ahead for iran, following the historic nuclear deal. we'll look at what is next after the landmark agreement. >> new moms forced to choose. >> the united states does lag behind other countries on this. >> now a revolution in workers' rights... >> my story is so many peoples' story. >> that could decide the election. >> it can be different. >>> no reaction yet from the white house to new accusations of the nsa spying programs. the wall street journal says the u.s. continued to spy on benjamin netenyahu. the jurnal says the snooping included private conversations with members of congress over the iran nuclear deal. our investigative reporter told us earlier, the allegation shows the disconnect between jerusalem and washington. >> two things are clear, first that the united states in spite of the snowden affair did not stop its surveillance over even friendly countries. and the second is that there's a deep rift and huge mistrust between the two nations and the two leaders, something that never happened before, even when the united states discovered tha

possible new sanctions against iran after u.n. findings on a missile test. >> on the road to , the long process of breathing life back into a ghost town. >> hundreds of fighters in yemen are due to be released as part of a prisoner swap between government forces and rebels. it follows weeks of negotiations and comes as peace talks are continuing in switzerland. expectations though are low for a deal, as fighters on both sides are reported to be failing to honor a week long ceasefire. there are reports of heavy clashes around the city of taiz. the war has killed nearly 6,000 people since march. more now from al jazeera's zeina hodor in switzerland. >> there has been a positive development, yemen's warring sides agreeing to exchange hundred was prisoners. that swap is being mediated between tribal factions. there have been reports of violations on the ground, but neither side has declared the ceasefire dead as of enough. negotiations are quite difficult, because the warring sides are quite apart an their positions. what we understand is that the houthis and their allies are demanding a ce

felt fine about vladimir putin when he backs our adversaries like bashar al assad and backs iran and he invades ukraine. >> i have been an extremely successful dealmaker. that's what i've done over years and i know people because deals are people. and i think i'll get along very well for the good of our country, for the good of our country, this is what i want, make america great again. i believe i'll get along fine with putin and i believe i'll get along fine with other leaders. obama doesn't get along with putin. putin can't stand our president, and it's causing us difficulty, and, frankly, and i said it a long time ago, if russia wants to bomb the hell out of isis and join us in that effort, i'm fine with that absolutely. i think that's an asset not a liability. so, if putin respects me and if putin wants me to call me brilliant and other things that he said which were, frankly, very nice, i'll accept that and i'll accept it on the behalf of our country. because if we get along well with russia, that's a positive thing not a negative thing. >> well, you want to get along well with

for quite some time to come. we also know that iran, one of the most deadly state sponsors of terrorism will soon be rejoining the global oil market if president obama gets his way, even as he continues to fight efforts by many of us to repeal the outdated oil export bantha wou -- ban that would allow us to send oil to allies. it does beg the question and part of the discussion hopefully this morning will be with that new source of revenue that iran is anticipated to receive, what do they do with it? what will the intentions of t s? is it to build hospitals or direct yet additional sources of revenue to the terrorists organizations? in recent months, we have seen a great deal of discussion about isis oil production and distribution and efforts to disrupt this source of revenue. bottom line is that the islamic sta state, this oil is helping to finance terrorism and significantly finance terrorism. i have argue used it's central to national security. we released staff reports. one was entitled o ed oil produ outages. also, a report entitled, a dark pool in the mideast, the probl

[ explosion ] >> the u.n. panel of experts accuse iran of breach security council resolution when it tes tested a missile. coming up, saudi arabia announced a new alliance to fight isil. >>> a week's talk in switzerland, and los angeles closes all of its schools to a threat. new york is treating the same threat as a hoax. iran has been accused of viola violating a u.n. resolution when it test fired a missile capable of carrying a warhead. reported by u.n. panel of experts which concluded it could lead to sanctions. iran denied the claim saying that the missile was not designed to carry nuclear war heads. let's get more on this now with gabriel elizondo. what do we expect from the united security council. will they meet within an hour's from now? >> the security council is meeting in an open briefing about 60 minutes an hour were right now. it's a highly anticipated bleat we expect to get more thoughts on security councils think about this report by the u.n. panel of experts. the highlight of this report, as you stated is a panel the panel of experts concluded that the october 10th

stuff. as you know, she is our un representative, she said this past october iran launched a ballistic missile that could deliver a nuclear weapon and this is prohibited. after reviewing this incident, the un panel concluded it was a violation. instead of an effective timely response the security council has dithered. we intend to keep working with council members to acknowledge and respond appropriately to this serious incident. we don't so how members can cast doubt on this violation. i don't see that permissiveness. there was a letter sent by the president to senator coons where he says quote robust enforcement of sanctions related to iran's non-nuclear activity will continue to be a critical, a critical, element of our policy. i will maintain powerful u.s. sanctions under a host of domestic authority countering iran's support for terrorism, human rights abuse, and the elicit sale or transfer of iranian weapons. i ask to place this in the record without objections. powers and this letter because we know we have sanctions if you counter iran's support for terrorism, human rights abus

. you have sistani with his quietest view opposed to those in iran and, again, we have to be careful, the tighter we hug it, the more difficult we make it for them. but can we enable them to do this? i think there is a task for us, though, someone asked the question about the counternarrative. let me tell you what the narrative is. all right? and this is -- this is from al qaeda to isis to wahhabism to a certain extent to the arab-islamic streak and the narrative is they have been born into a world of unrelenting hostility towards islam from the judeo-christian west. you and i know that not to be true. but that's what they believe the narrative to reinforce jamie's point we're really doubly stupid when we say things that reinforce that incredibly false narrative. so, that is one thing in our control. the other things, that's to do with the prophet and the holy koran and those people who follow it. >> do you have something to say about that? >> no. >> okay. jamie, do you want to call on someone else there in d.c.? >> anybody else jumping out of their seat? >> we've got some people her

to curb iran's nuclear program. ali velshi traveled to tehran. i asked him what the agreement means for that country. >> when you travel to iran it's a very controlled environment. we had a government handler with us, which means even though i spoke to average people, i probably didn't get as full of story as i would have. but i did understand one thing, while they were not ready to point fingers at their own government for the economic problems they were having, they were all exhausted by it. they didn't want talk of war with the united states and israel, they wanted to be able to buy things at the same price that people in the rest of the world buy things. they wanted to move money around the world which they have not able to do. they wanted tourists to be able to come in freely and use their credit cards. they wanted to sell their wares. iran was a big economy with manufacturing and things like that. it's a 80 million people. so they wanted to be welcomed back into the world fold and they didn't really care how they got there. most people seemed in favor of cutting a deal. >> it'

fence, the vacuum is filled, syria is an example, whether by iran or the shia axis, supported now by russia or by daesh, by isis. it should have been. that's why we claim that the united states should play a more active role in our region. and there is an opportunity. the new geopolitical division of the middle east of today is we have the shia axis, very solid one, iran, the assad regime, hezbollah, the houthis, others, saudi arabia, today supported by russia, solid axis. we have another axis very complicated. we deal with gaza, qatar is part of it, and turkey, a member of nato. leading the muslim brotherhood camp of today. very complicated. they are not on the same page neither with the united states nor with us. then we have the global jihad element. the enemies of everybody, daesh. but we have the sunni arab camp. the most significant camp in the region looking for leadership. and it appears to be that we, israel, are on the same page with this camp, not just with egypt and jordan, which we share with them, with saudi arabia, with kuwait, bahrain, united arab emirates, north afri

some time. we also know that iran, one of the original and most deadly state sponsors of terrorism will soon be rejoining the global oil market. if president obama gets his way, even as he continues to fight efforts by many of us to repeal outdated oil expert ban that would allow us here in this country to send oil to our allies. i think it does beg the question, and part of the discussion hopefully this newing will be with that source of revenue, that iran is anticipating to receive, what do we do with it? what will the intentions of these be? libby did do good and build hospitals? libby to direct yet additional sources of revenue to the terrorist organizations. in recent months we have seen a great deal of discussion about isis oil production and distribution, and coalition efforts to disrupt this source of revenue. . bottom line is that the islamic state -- this oil is helping to finance terrorism. significantly. i have long argued that energy security is central to national security. last year we released a series of reports. one was entitled oil production outages and strategi

committee that researched and wrote the report on iran's nuclear weapons program, he has unique insights with respect to the threat posed by hezbollah. not just to israel, but to the west. and we thank them both for their work on this measure. i also want to thank senators rubio and shaheen for recognizing the urgency of this problem. and working in a bipartisan way to ensure that this legislation was able to pass the senate so that today we can send it to the president's desk. and most importantly, i want to thank my good friend and colleague, the gentleman from new york, mr. eliot engel, for his work to push back against iran and its proxies that threaten the united states and threaten our allies globally. now, i'll say that this day is overdue. this past may the house passed this bill by a vote of 423-0. in fact, last congress the house also passed legislation spearheaded by mr. meadows in the 113th congress, 404-0, which the other body failed to take. thankfully this year is different. because right now iran is on a roll. last week we learned the regime test fired another ba

. if iran brings up their daily output right to million barrels per day, they will emit 100,000 more metric tons of co2 equivalents per day. 36.5 million tons of co2 equivalents per year. it lowers global co2 emission by exporting u.s. oil. let me credit my colleagues in the back mr. , gorman and mr. jack crampton for their health in research. mr. crane, in your testimony you said that one thing we could do to help shut down is that although isis is awash in cash, they do do business with large enterprises, and at some point might attempt to move that cash into banks, if they have not already done so. after treasuries could go them to increase costs. why have we not already? we should have done that a year ago. have we attempted and been unsuccessful? is it a pathway we have not pursued? dr. crane: my understanding is that they do not use banks much. the question is that there are a number of heavy trucks, some of them are operated by fleet operators. what i think would be useful is to make sure that we have intelligence about which companies, some of them located in surrounding coun

can say to russia, we can say to iran, people who don't look after and are not in our best interests, it's all right for you to do that, but we in the united states cannot export oil. now, we have all the former soviet union countries around there. i went to lithuania, participated in an opening of a terminal there so that they could get out from under this restriction, and it was a joyous occasion. in my state of oklahoma, we have lost 20,000 jobs because since we have had the -- the -- the new effort to -- and success in getting oil and gas out, we havd by the fact that we can't -- we can't export it. this has been a real hardship, and i'd say that the most important thing in this bill in terms of my state is we would be able to correct that and we are going to be able to do that. so i think that with the changes that are being made, i'm looking forward to supporting it, and i certainly would think that we should all look and see what's in the best interests of the united states and should be aware of the fact that what they're saying out there in terms of the cost of this bill, it

machinations at opec, the global oil supply is saturated and may be for some time. we also know that iran, one of the original and most deadly state sponsors of terrorism, will soon be rejoining the global oil market. if president obama gets his way, even as he continues to fight efforts by many of us to repeal the outdated oil expert ban that would allow us here in this country to send oil to our allies. i think it does beg the question, and part of the discussion hopefully this morning, will be with that new source of revenue, that iran is anticipating to receive, what do -- what will they do with it? what will the intention of these mullahs be? are they going to build hospitals? are they going to direct yet additional sources of revenue to terrorist organizations? in recent months we have seen a great deal of discussion about isis' oil production and distribution and coalition efforts to disrupt this source of revenue. bottom line is that the islamic state -- this oil is helping to finance terrorism, and significantly. i have long argued that energy security is central to national secu

iran just pushing wherever it can? >> well, you know, deirdre, there maybe two sides to the story it. may well be we knew long before that warning they gave us that they were going to do this kind of test and because of that we positioned ourselves close to the test in order to collect intelligence, that's us in their face, and, of course, on the other hand, maybe this was a last-minute thing with the presence of u.s. naval ships. a little of them in our face. there may be two sides to the story and we may never know what the answer is. deirdre: in any case, the united states has been complaining about iranian war games, iran, in this case, this is to your point colonel, it's not breaking any maritime rules, do you agree with that? that iran did not break rules? >> no, no, i expect they did break rules. if you think about it, our response has been muted. that is if it happened a week ago and the administration wasn't up in arms and yelling and screaming, they wouldn't want to, they don't want to do anything, the administration doesn't want to do anything that might jeopardize the

bashar al-assad. this complex movement of people was made possible because of a deal brokered by iran and turkey. it's seen as a significant development in a country battered by more than four years of violence. the united nations hopes this deal will create some level of trust between the government and the rebels, ahead of a crucial meeting in geneva flex month. there is a growing sentiment that no party can decisively win this awa war in syria and a compromise may be the only way to bring an end to this phase of the conflict. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera, southern turkey. >>> joining me in the studio is a military analyst and former jordajordanian. fighter. how significant is this that the iraqis won this battle? >> it is a good victory. there again their confidence is back, raise their morale back also. but they have a lot of work to did especially in the north and eastern part of ramadi. ramadi is a huge area and it's going to take i could say a month. so i'll be very dieferl sa carey it's a full victory. >> i'm guessing from what you're saying many winning and keeping it are two

basically on five assumptions. number one, that russia and iran, for separate but entirely compatible reasons, want to keep bashar al-assad in power indefinitely for the foreseeable future, at least in part in syria. second assumption i is that the nature of the military campaign being waged by russian aircraft and iranian assembled militias in syria against armed groups, not isil, fighting the assad regime defines russian and iranian priorities in syria. for both the battle against isil seems to be a pretext for assembling forces aiming to eliminate alternatives both to assad and isil. further assumption underlying this work is that for iran, keeping assad empower mainly has to do with assad's willingness over the years to subordinate syria to iran on all matters related to hezbollah in lebanon. keeping hezbollah to fight, israel and politically dominant in lebanon, are crucial iranian national security priorities. assad has delivered. iran feels there are no constituencies to this particular relationship in syria beyond the ruling family and its enablers. it sees bashar personally a

. specifically the deal iran has struck. >> there is no different between the government and the there people about iran? you are strongly supposed to it? >> yes but it's a done deal. what might be dong for the future. and the problem is that iran is continuing using terror, supporting terrorist in the region. i believe that the international communities should ask against iran supporting terror. now, iran ached what iran is >> do you have any confidence. that that will be done? >> no, i believe i need to slayer these ideas and to speak with international leaders and convince them this needs to be done. >> is the u.s. taking too have strong a leadership. >> according to their understanding this is something that is better the situation. sometimes the choice is between the adoption and the president was told this is last bad option to sign a deal with iran. but i heard in the last few days also u.s. leaders and candidate speaking about the needs too prevent not only to prevent iran from having a nuclear weapon, this is something that now needs to be supervised in the agreements bu
