Israel: Iran Nuke Deal Threatens Our Survival
ANNOUNCER: This is CNN Breaking News.</s>LEMON: Want to get you straight to that breaking news. Now we're following it, it's out of Kentucky. Here are the pictures, look at that. My goodness. That's courtesy of our affiliate WAV or Wave Television. Firefighters battling a massive four-alarm blaze. It's at the GE Appliance, I should say the GM. The GE appliance, or GM appliance parked in Louisville, Let me double check that. GE appliance park in Louisville, Kentucky. GE, General Electric. Officials say the building has been evacuated not clear what the cost of that blaze is right now. So far no reports of interests but again a furlong fire reported at the GE appliance parked, it is in Louisville, Kentucky. The calls came in at 7:00 Eastern Time. It's been going for just two hours now. The size of that building. We'll continue to take a look at. But again, no reports of anyone trapped, nobody any injuries or anything right now. But man, it is up in flames and up in smoke. Look at that, the size of that building. It's hard to believe. No one was hurt, even now. We'll keep an eye on it. We're going the move on and talk about America's closest ally in the Middle East. Israel railing against the breakthrough in the U.S.-led nuclear talks with Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says a deal with this framework would threaten his country's very survival and, in fact, this morning he summoned Israeli's top security officials to a meeting. Here's the terms hailed by President Obama as historic. The terms include this: Iran agrees to eliminate two thirds of its centrifuges, reducing its number to 6,000. It will also reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium, critical to making weapons and in exchange, the U.S. and European union will lift the sanction that is have crippled the country's economy. Secretary of State Kerry who handled the negotiations bristles at the criticism.</s>ELISE LABOTT, CNN GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT: When this is over in 15 years, Iran can, you know, pretty much do whatever it wants. So, this is a real --</s>JOHN KERRY, SECRETARY OF STATE: No, it can't.</s>LABOTT: This is a real political gamble, Mr. Secretary, that the regime is going to be different in 15 years.</s>KERRY: No. It is not a gamble on the regime being different. It is not a gamble. It is based on proof. There's no element of trusting here.</s>LABOTT: You don't trust the Iranians?</s>KERRY: That's not the issue. In any negotiation about arms you can't do it on words. You do it on actions and verifiability.</s>LEMON: CNN's Oren Liebermann is here to talk about the latest. Oren, President Barack Obama calls it historic. Israeli officials call it a historic mistake. How damaging is this to the U.S./Israeli relations?</s>MARK REGEV, ISRAELI GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN: It's only in the last two, three years that the United States ratcheted up the sanctions and the Iranians have actually been really feeling the pressure. And here we have to give, you think, a word of thanks to the administration and Congress for putting those very tough sanctions in place. Now, we think those sanctions should stay in place until the Iranians actually take substantive steps to dismantle their nuclear program. Ultimately, if you take that away, what motivation do the Iranians have for making real concessions?</s>LIEBERMANN: And that's been one of Netanyahu's big points. He believes the lifting of sanctions, the relief of sanctions, should be directly linked to Iran pulling back its aggression in the region and now, we're seeing a back and forth between Netanyahu and Kerry. We saw it between Netanyahu and Obama. Now, this is Kerry perhaps responding although not directly to Netanyahu, directly addressing Netanyahu's concerns in a "Boston Globe" op-ed from this morning. Here's what Kerry has to say, "I know that some will suggest the parameters are not sufficient but the burden will be on them to prescribe a specific and plausible alternative to a better outcome. The fact is we have reached an important milestone in our year's long effort to ensure that Iran's nuclear program is and remains wholly peaceful." So, Don, some very strong words here going back and forth between the White House and Obama's administration and the Netanyahu administration here in Israel.</s>LEMON: All right. Oren, thanks. Plenty of critics of this plan, plenty of them here in the United States as well, from both parties really. But the howling the loudest and most often are among the first. Some Republicans likely to make the presidential bid. Here they are. Let's take off a handful for you. Jeb Bush calls it flawed while Marco Rubio dismisses the efforts as farcical. Rick Perry holds back just a little bit saying he's wary. Ted Cruz calls it a bad deal. Lindsey Graham says the consequences of a bad deal would be unimaginable. Presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was also quick to weigh in on this. Here's what she says, "There is much to do and much more to say in the months ahead. But for now, diplomacy deserves a chance to succeed." We'll continue to follow. Still to come, former roommates and self-proclaimed members of the Islamic State. Why authorities say two New York women wanted to carry out an attack that would make history. CNN's Alexandra Field has more.</s>ALEXANDRA FIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hey, Don. They had no plans to travel overseas, every intention of carrying out that attack here at home. We'll talk about the plot and who inspired them, coming right up.
