Kerry calls talk of better Iran deal a ‘fantasy’

Press TV has conducted an interview with Mark Glenn, an author and journalist in Idaho, about US Secretary of State John Kerry’s vigorous defense of the successful conclusion of Iran’s nuclear talks with six world powers.

Iranian hardliners are also trying to undermine the pact, which US ally Israel calls a dire security threat.

“If the U.S., after laboriously negotiating this multilateral agreement with five other partners, were to walk away from those partners, we’re on our own”, Kerry said. “After reading it several times and talking to leadership, we felt like it was important for our Federation to make a statement about how we feel about this, its impact on the United States of America and its potential negative impact on the State of Israel“.

U-S president Barack Obama would veto any move by the Republican-dominated Congress to block the accord, which would then require considerable Democratic backing to stop him.

“I want President Obama to know one thing”, he said in a fiery speech.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been an outspoken critic of the agreement, saying it would set Iran, which denies his countrys right to exist, on a path toward obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Kerry said critics of the warranty, which often suppresses Iran’s nuclear system for punishment remedy, are push… “This is a question of what happens now, tomorrow, if we don’t accept this deal“.

Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz(moh-NEES’) is defending the Iran nuclear deal saying it is “pretty hard-nosed” and wasn’t what Tehran had envisioned in the final deal. What am I going to say to people after this as secretary of state. Now, 28 years later, they say the secret side deals could make it unlikely to verify that Iran really is complying with this nuclear deal.

“We will have squandered the best chance we have to solve this problem through peaceful means”, he said.

Administration officials have tried to frame the debate as “it’s this deal or war“, Corker said.

“If this deal goes through, without exaggeration, the Obama Administration will become the world’s leading state sponsor and financier of radical Islamic terrorism”.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a Republican presidential candidate, said the “next president is under no legal or moral obligation to live up to” the deal, which he described as “terrible”.

Araghchi told reporters that his country “will continue its cooperation with the worldwide Atomic Energy Agency to resolve the remainder of outstanding issues, including speculations that Tehran is developing a nuclear programmme with a military dimension”.

Kerry was welcomed to the committee chamber by about a half-dozen anti-nuclear activists sporting bright pink “Peace with Iran” T-shirts.

“There are many areas of concern that we want to get clarified”, he said.

The email sent out by Federation came four days after two other major Jewish Federations – in Boston and Miami – urged Congress to reject the agreement and asked community members to urge their elected representatives to scuttle the bill.
