President Obama said Thursday that the tentative agreement to contain Irans nuclear weapons program is a good deal, arguing that it is the best option for heading off another war in the Middle East or a nuclear arms race in the region.

In an afternoon announcement in the White House Rose Garden, Obama said the outlined agreement would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon.

If this framework leads to a final, comprehensive deal, it will make our country, our allies, and our world safer, Obama said. This has been a long time coming.

The presidents remarks followed announcements by foreign ministers in Switzerland that the ongoingtalks had finally produced the key parameters of a long-sought deal to ease economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on its ability to build a nuclear weapon. The breakthrough paves the way for three more months of discussions among Iran and six world powers, including the U.S., to work out the final agreement.

It is a good deal, a deal that meets our core objectives, Obama said.

One part of the deal, international inspections that Obama called unprecedented in their intrusiveness, means Iran will have no way of hiding any nuclear activity that falls outside the parameters of the agreement, the president said.

If Iran cheats, the world will know it, he said. If we see something suspicious, we will inspect it.

The deal is, he said, our best option by far.

Further talks still depend to some degree on how lawmakers respond to the outline of the deal. In less than two weeks, Congress returns to Washington from a recess and plans to take up measures both to weigh in on the merits of the deal as well as to step up sanctions on Iran.

If lawmakers approve either piece of legislation and can cobble together a two-thirds majority to override a certain veto from Obama, they could upend the delicate talks.
