W.H.: Iran Will Be Relieved on Sanctions Regardless of Whether Congress Approves Deal

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

KARL: “Senator Ted Cruz, said in light of this agreement and frees up assets for the Iranian government that President Obama has quote the leading global finance year of international global terrorism.”

EARNEST: “The first thing that is important to understand that I was trying to convey earlier. If Congress kills this deal, Iran will still get sanctions relief. The countries who have indicated support are not going to make the economic sacrifice. That means Iran is getting sanctions relief. So the question for members of Congress including for Senator Cruz is the United States going to get something for that sanctions relief? Under the agreement that the president and the p-5 plus one has crafted, we will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. They will have to unplug 13,000 centrifuges and will have inspections to verify their compliance with the agreement. And Iran will pledge to cooperate with those inspections and to make sure that they will permanently agree not to pursue a nuclear weapon.”
