CNN: Original Obama Administration Standards for Nuclear Deal Not Met

CUOMO: “And then, Jim, we have this other concern, which is that when you lift the sanctions, billions and billions will flood into Iran, legitimizing them and making them a bigger terror tool than ever. Your take?”
SCIUTTO: “Well, exactly. I think what you have to look at here is the administrations' own standards of success on this deal. Ad I hear Peter on this that -- and I've covered Iran for ten years and I was there when the president made that phone call. When you look at progress in the last two years, it's pretty remarkable. These negotiations are pretty remarkable progress that time period. But, remember, the administration sets standards like inspections any time anywhere. And what we know about this deal says that that's not going to happen, that Iran is going to in effect have a veto on when those inspections might happen. Here's the other thing, if at the start of these talks you and I and all of us sat around the table and said Iran would be able to keep all these major nuclear facilities, including for instance the one at Fordow, which was secret, which Iran kept secret from the international community, it was only revealed due to intelligence work, they get to keep it. They even get to keep centrifuges inside that facility. If you had said that two years ago, or even a year ago, you would have said wait a second. And even some administration officials in support would say, wait a second, we're not going to go that far. And that's where you are today. And I think that's where you're going to see the real pushback on the Hill and not just from Republicans. I've been talking to Democratic lawmakers as well. They're saying wait a second; I got to look closely on this, because this is more than I expected to see when these negotiations started.”
