Obama: People Who ‘Know the Most’ About Middle East Support Iran Deal

ZAKARIA: "Since you announced the agreement with Iran, it appears, if you look at several polls, that the majority of American public oppose it and the majority of the United States Congress oppose it. Why do you think that is?" 
OBAMA: "Because people haven't been getting all the information. It's a complicated piece of business. And we are negotiating with a regime that chants "Death to America" and doesn't have a high approval rating here in the United States. But the people who know most about the central challenge that we're trying to deal with, which is making sure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, they are overwhelmingly in favor of it. Experts in nuclear proliferation, nuclear scientists, former ambassadors, Democrat and Republican, and as a consequence, one of my main tasks over the last several weeks, and this will continue into September, is to make sure that people know and understand that this is a diplomatic breakthrough that ensures we are cutting off all the pathways by which Iran might get a nuclear weapon."
