Rep. Mike Rogers, former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, highlighted some of the "consequences" of the president's nuclear agreement with Iran Sunday, clashing with a former White House adviser who spoke in favor of the deal.

"The notion that it's either this deal or war, I think, is fundamentally wrong and incorrect," Rogers said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation."

"There are some problematic areas," the Alabama Republican added.

Rogers said one such area included "opening them up to the receipt of conventional weapons."
