Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday morning defended the preliminary nuclear deal struck with Iran by the Obama administration earlier this month, saying during an interview with ABC’s "This Week" that, so far, “Iran has lived up to and lived by every requirement in that agreement.”
The administration announced the framework of a historic nuclear deal with Iran on April 2, but in the days since, American and Iranian negotiators have provided different interpretations of what, exactly, was agreed upon.
Kerry pushed back on criticism leveled by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who said last week that Kerry was “delusional” and questioned whether Iran had in fact agreed to the terms of the preliminary deal.
"I can't blame the ayatollah, because I don't think they ever agreed to it," McCain said. "And I think John Kerry tried to come back and sell a bill of goods, hoping maybe that the Iranians wouldn't say much about it."
Kerry insisted on Sunday that he stands by his analysis of the deal.
“I think President Obama spoke very, very powerfully to Senator McCain yesterday, and I'll let the president's words stand. I also stand by every fact that I have laid out,” Kerry said. “It's an unusual affirmation of our facts that come from Russia, but Russia has said that what we've set out is reliable and accurate. And I will let the final agreement speak for itself.”

Winston Smith!
Kerry will be posting the “details” of the “agreement” on his website any time now.
If Hanoi Boi says it, then it must be true.
Kerrys brain is still seared from being in Vietnam, and in Cambodia at Christmas time
Anybody know the actual details of the agreement to know how big a lie Kerry is telling...?
Living up to thier deal. Iran promised not to eat pork for 18 months. So far, so good. Great deal we got going John. Pat on the back.
Wondering when the Leftists will “discover” a gene to blame for their penchant for lying. I’m certain they’ll arrange some taxpayer financing for it as well.
Need a lot more lipstick to sell that pig.
Pretty easy to live up to the agreement if it has nothing to check off...
If the deal had a “Not say death to Israel/US” clause, that would have been violated.
If the deal had a “Not go thru the motions of destroying a US Aircraft Carrier” clause, that would have been violated as well.
If the deal had a “Will not continue to fund/promote/instigate islamic nazism” clause, that would have been violated...
This is like the man who falling off a 20 story building, shouts at each story: all right so far.
Does this idiot really believe what he says?
What facts has Kerry laid out? I think I missed that revelation.
Right John, I understand, if it’s good enough for
Russia it should be good enough for us...
Met this pathetic bastard in a 7-11 on Cape Cod once, his obnoxious attitude towards me and my buddy almost had me punching him out.
what a clown this Kerry is
Kerry “ We have to agree to it to find out what’s in it”
