Mogherini & Zarif on Iran Deal, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action State...
A big thank you to all the media that have been following our endless but successful negotiations for all these days and nights, weeks and months.
Today is an historic day. It is a great honor for us to announce that we have reached an agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue.
With courage, political will, mutual respect and leadership, we delivered on what the world was hoping for: a shared commitment to peace and to join hands in order to make our world safer. This is an historic day also because we are creating the conditions for building trust and opening a new chapter in our relationship.
This achievement is the result of a collective effort.
No one ever thought it would be easy. Historic decisions never are. But despite all twists and turns of the talks, and the number of extensions, hope and determination enabled us to overcome all the difficult moments. We have always been aware we had a responsibility to our generation and the future ones.
Thanks to the constructive engagement of all parties, and the dedication and ability of our teams, we have successfully concluded negotiations and resolved a dispute that lasted more than 10 years.
Many people brought these difficult negotiations forward during the last decade and we would like to thank all of them - as we would like to thank the International Atomic Energy Agency for its critical contribution and close cooperation as well as the Austrian government for the support and hospitality.
We, the EU High Representative for Foreign and Security policy and the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, together with the Foreign Ministers of the People´s Republic of China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States of America met here in Vienna, following several months of intensive work, at various levels and in different formats, to negotiate the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), based on the key parameters agreed in Lausanne on 2 April.
We have today agreed on the final text of this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
The E3/EU+3 and the Islamic Republic of Iran welcome this historic Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which will ensure that Iran’s nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful, and mark a fundamental shift in their approach to this issue. They anticipate that full implementation of this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action will positively contribute to regional and international peace and security. Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action includes Iran’s own long-term plan with agreed limitations on Iran’s nuclear program, and will produce the comprehensive lifting of all UN Security Council sanctions as well as multilateral and national sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program, including steps on access in areas of trade, technology, finance, and energy.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action comprises of a main text, and five technical annexes - on nuclear, sanctions, civil nuclear energy cooperation, a joint commission, and implementation. These documents are detailed and specific: that is important because all sides wanted clarity so as to ensure the full and effective implementation of the agreement.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is a balanced deal that respects the interests of all sides. It is also complex, detailed and technical: we cannot fully summarize the agreement now. But the full main text and all its annexes will be made public still today and will be presented within the next few days by the E3+3 to the Security Council for endorsement.
We know that this agreement will be subject to intense scrutiny. But what we are announcing today is not only a deal but a good deal. And a good deal for all sides – and the wider international community.
This agreement opens new possibilities and a way forward to end a crisis that has lasted for more than 10 years. We are committed to make sure this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is fully implemented, counting also on the contribution of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
We call on the world community to support the implementation of this historic effort.
This is the conclusion of our negotiations, but this is not the end of our common work. We will keep doing this important task together. Thank you.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Let me join Ms. Mogherini in thanking members of the press for your patience, your perseverance and for keeping us company during these difficult negotiations. Now as it has become our customary form of presentation, I will present exactly the same paper that Ms. Mogherini read in English in Persian. So don't worry, it's the same thing.
Today is an historic day. It's a –it's an honor for us to announce that we have reached an agreement on the Iran's nuclear program.
Through courage, political will, mutual respect and excellent leadership and management, we delivered on what the world was hoping for: a shared commitment to peace and to join hands in order to make our world safer. This is an historic day also because we are creating the conditions for building trust and opening a new chapter in our relationship.

How could this statement make sense to you?
Mike,
How could this statement make sense to you if your theory is correct? "... the Mujahideen saw the black gang of thugs in the White House hiding the Truth, and their stupid and foolish leader, who is elected and supported by his people, denying reality and proclaiming that we (the Mujahideen) were striking them because we were jealous of them (the Americans), whereas the reality is that we are striking them because of their evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World, especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries." -Osama Bin Laden , February 14 , 2003
Why would these words be spoken from what you claim is "fake"? You can see how the media spun it by omitting these words from news reports about the tape recording. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/02/14/binladen.tape/
U.S. officials don't deny it was bin Laden talking. We know why they would want to omit parts. The question is why "create" those parts only to then suppress them? The thing that makes no sense is that if what you claim is true in your theory, then why in the world would "secret agents" fake a message saying Bush is a liar? Why would "secret agents" fake a message saying that the real reason for the attack is because of the Americans's "evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World, especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries."? You know the powers that be like to insist that the reasons were along the lines of Bush's explanation for the motive, so why "secret agents" "create" a tape that says calls Bush a liar about his claim about what the motives were?

What YouTube is doing to the Representative Press channel could be called Manufacturing Consent 2.0 I talk about it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMECO9mUrnA and at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sijMX3voPOo&feature=youtu.be&t=3m47s
"In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, besides using printing contracts to subsidize favored party organs, the federal government supported the press in what First Amendment lawyers today would call a "viewpoint-neutral" way--through cheap postal rates that were available to all newspapers. And since the 1960s, both the federal and state governments have aided public broadcasting, which has enabled public TV and radio stations to become important sources of news." - Will the Last Reporter Please Turn out the Lights: The Collapse of Journalism and What Can Be Done To Fix It by Robert W.

U.S. military outright invented lies
"It has been well-known for several years that the U.S. military outright invented lies regarding literally every aspect of the Jessica Lynch story. " - GLENN GREENWALD

YouTube's criteria for what they consider content that is “advertiser-friendly"
YouTube says that “advertiser-friendly” content is content which "has little to no inappropriate and/or mature content in the video stream, thumbnail, or metadata such as video title." But they do say "if there may be inappropriate content, the context is usually newsworthy or comedic where the creator’s intent is to inform or entertain, and not offend or shock" and clearly the intent of the Representative Press channel is NOT to "offend or shock" but rather to "inform" the public with "newsworthy" content.

The Representative Press channel is presenting newsworthy content with the intent to inform (see the about page here) and is not a channel with videos intended to offend or shock.
