at facts iran's. national interest and definitely we visit to try to to show the best way for getting out from the crisis this is what we have done for iraq was you have done for syria what we have what you are going to do for four young men. were on negotiation with different parties our position was quite clear is that we're talking you mentioned syria and b.b.c. is saying that iran is building a military base in syria tehran plan to establish a permanent military presence in the country right now. having military bases or military cooperation between two independent country is their right if iran and syria iran and iraq iraq iran and any other independent country decide to. to to expansion the economy corp as a very military corporation is it against international law or regulations no that is that is quite normal so you spoke a lot about isis during this interview so let me ask you ron's been very invested in the conflict against it against isis in neighboring iraq as well committing advisors help

decide to launch an attack on iran what should be the u.s. response in your view we should condemn it and we should. certainly not come to their defense if they are perpetrating an attack on iran i think that would be a declaration of war on their part unjustified i don't see us allies who would then presumably be on the counterattack from iran you're saying the u.s. should not come to the help of its allies if they start a war with iran certainly not saudi arabia no i don't think that because they would be not just war and we've we've had president to protect israel but. also well it depends on what the what the response was i mean obviously if iran starts to say we're going to annihilate israel then we have to defend it but i don't expect that to be the response i expected to be proportional and i don't think israel will go and start to declaring war on iran i think there cooler heads and savvier heads will prevail and we certainly would not condone a strike on iran by either saudi arabia or israel and do you worry about a war like about ha

iran to playhelped regime.er role in this week --time, iran was weak. , theyw, they have money .an also support a military peter c.: peter bohm, what have you got to add to that panoramic explanation? why now? peter b.: there's two sides, obviously, to this conflict. saudi arabia and iran against each other. one point you would have to make is, it has to do with the personality of the new strongman in saudi ararabia, the newew crn prince. i think his personality shines through. the statements coming from saudi arabia are a lot more assertive, a lot more confident. recklessd argue even or adventurous. said, for saudi arabia, the nuclear deal with that the u.s. and the other nations did was a wake-up call. that they cannow rely on the u.s. for protection. the obama administration's policies toward saudi arabia had , inme a lot more critical combination with the nuclear deal. saudi arabia thought they had to rely on their own resources. they had to take charge of their own security and interest. now, a lott you see more assertive role coming from saudi arabia, which clearly fueled the conf

now, on iran, the u.s. has got to respond to the full range of threats from iran not just their nuclear program because we see in syria and in iraq, we see it right up along western syria now with the irgc. they are taking advantage of this fight against isis and they are moving in and brutalizing syrians but seized so much territory. meanwhile hezbollah which is iran's terror proxy, is amassing fighters and troops along israel's border in the north and the border in the east. iran continues to acquire destabilizing conventional weapons but also intercontinental ballistic missile. the administration is taking a realistic approach on iran recognizing the full range of these threats. this is what we have been messaging in a bipartisan way on our committee. this is what brad sherman and i and mike mccaul is other members have been talking about as we push these policies. congress and the administration must work together to confront these threats while insuring iran never develops a nuclear capability. [ appla

syria iran and iraq iran iran and any other independent country decide to. to to expansion the economy corp as a very military corporation is it against international law or regulations no that is that is quite normal so you spoke a lot about isis during this interview so let me ask you ron's been very invested in the conflict against it against isis in neighboring iraq as well committing advisors helping organize share militia units sending other kinds of a what is tehran expecting in return a lasting and strong influence on iraq through those new capable shia militias maybe. i think. now isis is quite clearly that should be considered as a real conflict real crisis for four hold the war now should the founder of isis reach to this point that who. creates some fire day should the leash to their time for who create their ween they should reach to haifa and isis does not believe anything i says was it to by the americans by the israelis unfortunately by financial support of some petrol countries in the region for. making unsecure their region not only the reg

iran is not a stranger to earthquakes. they have been hundreds of deadly earthquakes in iran, but in that region, we did not have it ina long in that region, we did not have it in a long time, for decades. we had it not on this magnitude. do you think the authorities are not prepared for this kind of disaster? most definitely. this region is already damaged by eight years of the iraq iran war. it has had political instability and has not developed like other parts of iran. that is why when something like this happened, they have to bring equipment and resources from other provinces and taking that equipment ta kes provinces and taking that equipment takes hours. those hours are a matter of life. so this area has had terrible suffering over the years from war and now from natural disaster? absolutely. some people we re disaster? absolutely. some people were talking to me and said they we re were talking to me and said they were ina were talking to me and said they were in a small village and have lost 20 people, just in tha

what does iran make of donald trump. we know what trump thinks of iran. if there is a prevailing viewpoint about donald trump inside iran right now, what is that? >> i would say that what their view of trump right now is, that they believe that he is way over his head, he's incompetent, he's not capable, but in some ways, makes him more dangerous, because he's impulsive, he doesn't have the capacity to look at complex problems from several different angles before making a decision. at the same time, iranians are currently benefiting. because donald trump is isolating the united states. he is achieving the next to impossible task of making the iranians look good and reasonable. he takes a look at donald trump's speech at the u.n. he was threatening to obliterate north korea, making all of these kinds of threats, you have the iranian president's speech the day after. usually the opposite. usually the iranian president would be upset. now it's reverse, the iranian president gave a modest speech. and they're actually enjoying this moment at this point. not sa

well it's clear that iran feels it's kind of like. things like a protector for the shiites in in the region and saudi arabia. is starting to feel in the same way. the king is called the custodian of holy sites meaning in mecca and medina so. the conflict between the two nations is certainly fueled by religious under. that name plays a big role you know ok we've talked about it already saudi arabia is currently in a massive process about the evil it's being described as a revolution from above and it's being led by one. in june of the elderly saudi king solomon been abdulla's he's also don't pointed his son mohammad crown prince. mohammed bin solomon is just thirty two years old and he's now considered the country's de facto ruler. he's carried out a purge of the ruling elite several hundred saudi princes government ministers and businesspeople have been arrested allegedly as part of an anti-corruption drive. the crown prince is working to consolidate his power base and to carry out radical reforms. but he has not had much success in c

the rebels who three rebels in yemen what does iran wants peace in the middle east does iran want prosperity in the future for its people i think iran is like saudi arabi are both of them are part of problems and not solution in the lieben own as we see at the moment i'm not going to say there is a real danger of kind of valar but the possibility of such of war has increased and we should take it seriously and i think at the moment it's not like that that the war is knocking on the door in the libyan or in between iran and saudi arabi are that there is and also part of the confrontation for example and it kind of it is possible against liban on saudi i bia can. lead to a kind of destruction of their financial support for levi not which is very very dangerous for this country peter byrne you say that definitely will not be a real full scale war between saudi arabia and iran what makes you so sure. there won't be because i mean both countries i think aren't prepared for a war and i think it's also clear that. no one would gain you know no one would gain from it there wouldn't be a winnable war

no deal with iran because any deal with iran would actually resolve some of those tensions between the u.s. and iran and the saudis don't want to see that happening they want the u.s. to come back in and provide saudi arabia with security and balance saudi arabia's own rivals in the region that is part of the reason i would say the main reason as to why does sound he's have been so adamantly against a nuclear deal so what do you think will have never hit his feelings about the iran deal but he never openly vowed to scrap it he said the deal needs to be actually did then he said what do you rania's go for it all he actually said. no one will go for renegotiation the russians will not go for you negotiation the chinese dirani ins and the europeans made it very clear during their visit here in washington this week they will not call for any renegotiation. and trump said at his press conference that he wants to see congress change the terms of the deal if congress doesn't do so he said he will terminate the deal himself that's the words he used he said he will terminate it so how far he an

back in two thousand and fifteen the saudi foreign minister has also previously stated his concerns iran has not lived up to the terms. with regards to the behavior that is expected of you in terms of promoting stability in the region the instability and destruction well mr mccollum also warned about north exacerbating huge the tensions in the area coming off the back of a missile strike on saudi arabia just a few days ago by rebels in yemen saying that that ballistic missile came from. providence jollity pinski r.t. paris. and expect now to cover after c.r.b. is a political scientist and was a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team have a good to speak to the two main proposals coming from among your tougher monitoring of iran's missiles capping tehran's regional as he discarded the head germany isn't this just echoing what we've heard from from donald trump is this the the good cop to trump bad call. i hope not unfortunately president mark ron seems to be sliding closer and closer to president trump and his disastrous. one sided middle east course of action one would expect

minister quits varying he'd be assassinated as a power struggle intensifies between saudi arabia and iran so will leaven and again become the battleground for other people's was this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program this hour lebanon's prime minister saad hariri his resignation came as a surprise the fact that he did it from riyadh accusing iran and its lebanese ally has boller of sowing strife in the arab world sent shock waves through the region. i hereby announce my resignation as prime minister from the lebanese government now is the will of the lebanese is strong and that determination is steadfast and will overcome any attempts to impose any custodianship over them from powers either inside or outside our country i would like to say to iran and its followers that they will be losers in their intervention in the arab affairs our nation will wake up as it did in the past and bad hands in the region will be cut off from. now a former lebanese president earlier throwaway once said lebanon has always been the battlefield of others' wars and many fear that that could be h

congress gentlemen are just talking about how on iran stay with our team. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so well. and thinks it's going to. welcome back across like where all things are considered to be discussing saudi arabia. ok martin let me go back to you are brought up the topic where i wanted to go with on this program that let's talk about the iran angle here i mean it seems that that's part of the the chessboard right here is the crown prince trying to make some kind of you know grand gesture or leave his footprint in history i mean i mean again you know looking at what's going on in the region failure in syria failure in yemen i mean maybe you should step back a little bit here disable destabilizing lebanon i mea

-- iran. i think in10— a nuclear weapon? -- iran. i think in 10- 15 a nuclear weapon? -- iran. i think in10— 15 years. a nuclear weapon? -- iran. i think in 10— 15 years. i want to point out, there is a great focus on these nuclear provisions which are very important and very unique and rolled back their programme dramatically. but the key to the agreement of the verification and transparency measures which do not sunset. we have, for example, their engagement in the protocol that allows the international inspectors to go anywhere that looks suspicious. you're putting a huge amount of faith in the nuclear watchdog situation. —— organisation. faith in the nuclear watchdog situation. -- organisation. that organisation now has tools that they didn't have before in iran. it has tools, it has nowhere else in the world, the former head of intelligence james clapper has said you couldn't say 100% certain, but the bar is raised so high that the risk of getting caught would be too enormous. the other thing that is really the point of the criticism is that the deal is not what it

countries like iraq syria lebanon and so on i think so eurabia wants to friend of iran and iran influence especially in its immediate surroundings like in yemen and hence we are seeing both regimes escalating their attentions their conflict and really demanding of the various countries sovereign nations of the region to take sides are you with iran or are you with saudi arabia. the un has condemned saudi arabia's blockade of yemen asked catastrophic and it along with international aid groups are calling on riyadh to lift its fuel prices in yemen have increased more than sixty percent while cooking gas prices have doubled to saudi arabia cut all aid access to the country donald trump has struck a more conciliatory note towards north korea during a visit to seoul the u.s. president is on the second stop of his tour of asia and has met with south korea's president in charge and said he still open to negotiations with pyongyang. i thought it carried out an attack on a t.v. station in kabul which killed two people and injured at least twenty of those gunmen stormed that station after an explos

saying to iran directly supports this is these latest senior u.s. air force official claims the ballistic missile had been made in iran. been a great marking softness. that's been demonstrated. there are pictures that take that to mean that connects the dots to iran in terms of who supply. missiles and that capability from what i am going to and all that we do not even have the ability to transfer missiles to yemen it's the missiles and they've managed to increase the missiles range not as more gas you have takes a look at the current tensions between two of the biggest players in the middle east. recently benny a days seems to go by without saudi arabia making headlines and it almost always boils down to it's enemy iran it is a game of chess that spans an entire region on every front in every country the saudis see iran's evil influence. the huth the rebels in yemen who saudi arabia has been bombing for many years fire a rocket riyadh that the saudis could only describe as a rainy an aggression the saudis also ready to throw that allies under the b

it is not just iran. what if we expose -- we suspect we will see perhaps exposing that golden chain, the donors. we have not found the absolute proof of this yet. but if things like that are in these files, it makes executing policy in the middle east -- >> we found unnamed files from a saudi sheik that we will expose. corresponding pretty regularly with bin laden. he signed the letters, your loving brother. it is all about stuff inside saudi. this is the type of thing which is very fascinating about these files. who is that guy? why does he have a direct line to bin laden? why can he chastise bin laden for what he's doing? >> that will also be more embarrassing potentially to the obama administration, because they would have access to those files. if that guy is still active, did they ask the saudi government to crack down on him? >> it is not just the obama administration, but the whole thing. this is not about any one politician or political group. this is about what is the ground truth of these files,

aggression same bus rob he has the reaction now from to iran. hours after the resignation of lebanese prime minister saad hariri in which he criticized iran for its involvement in his country and in the region iran's foreign ministry spokesman back home cost me rejected those allegations and said that the sudden resignation by the lebanese prime minister was both regretful and came as a surprise to teheran accost me also commented on the optics of the resignation saying the fact that hariri resigned outside of the country in a hasty manner in saudi arabia were all signs that he was surrounded by parties that did not have lebanon's best interests at the tops of their agendas nor the best interests of the region the wider middle east at the tops of their agendas he pointed a finger at iran's usual suspects united states saudi arabia and israel and he said that these countries have come together in designed this situation to create a destabilizing events not only in lebanon but something that was designed to escalate tensions in the region and lawm

on certainty in lebanon after the prime minister resigns during a trip to saudi arabia criticizing iran and saying he fears for his life. russian air strikes and driving eisel from its last strip of land in syria killed six members of the same family. council colleagues bootable i'll be reporting on why political leadership there in mourning. now we saw this program with news that we've been covering from saudi arabia with the country's add a friend saying that it intercepted a missile at the king khalid international airport near the capital riyadh the rebels of at the same time claim to a fide long range ballistic missile that traveled five hundred kilometers over the border with saudi arabia a spokesman for the rebels told al jazeera that they launched a missile towards riyadh late on saturday but also in other developments a major shake up of saudi arabia's cabinet with the economy minister. having been replaced by mohammed of to wide and while the other changes have been taking place the national guard minister prince been has been released from office he was the last senior royal

s unfortunately political tensions here overshadow iran's economic potential iran has a lot of potential in many different sectors investors who want to make a profit can do it here easily iranians say unofficial threats by the white house are scaring off potential investors and having the same effect on iran's economy as sanctions i don't want to see as an iranian my message to mr tillerson is that you sit on the other side of the world and he say you have no problem with the iranian people and that the iranian government is your target no i'm telling you first that you have a problem with the people because these sanctions mostly target the people rather than the government that it was that we were going to before anyone who wants to invest a will be one hundred percent successful my oldest son lived in germany for three s and came back to iran because it's a better income iran small business owners appear to be optimistic about their future and they're appealing to european investors not to judge them from afar but to come and see for themselves as in basra the old zero to one. so is

and that is iran. which has been providing increasing support, very any fares support, -- nefarious support, to the houthi rebels. we must not forget that in april of 2015 the u.n. security council, acting under chapter seven of the u.n. charter, condemned the violent houthi government overthrow, quote, in the strongest terms. and obligated all u.n. member states to comply with and enforce and embargo on arms and military assistance, quote, of all types, unquote. to the houthi forces. this makes iran's acts to fuel this deadly conflict a gross violation of international law. as our ambassador has pointed out. i am glad that the newhouse resolution, 599, addresses these shortcomings and i rise to support it today. even before this latest conflict , yemen was the poorest country in the region. it was racked by violence and unrest. for years the countries of north and south yemen were in conflict , before they became a single state. that was in 1990. after an uprising in 2011, yemen embarked on a path of

that were put in place against iran. i think we have to think in the same way about doing that to north korea. >> so speaking of iran, do you feel that president trump's threat last week to not certify the iran bill was a mistake, and what did you think of his reasoning? basically saying iran was not complying with the accord, that it was behaving very aggressively, that it was restricting navigation, et cetera. >> withdraw. -- yeah, look, in foreign policy, in defense policy, in many ways, your word counts for a lot. and when you tell somebody that you're going to do something, if you fail to stick to your word, it sends a clear message to others that as a result of that you cannot trust america as a partner. in many ways, you know, we experience that when president obama made the commitment on chemical attacks in -- >> syria. >> -- in syria with assad. that if those chemical attacks took place, we would take action. and when those chemical attacks did take place and many were lost as a result of that, the failure to ac

saying to iran directly supports the who these later a senior u.s. air force official claimed the ballistic missile that was used had been made in iran. then i read markings on the business. that's been demonstrated and there are pictures that take that to mean that connects that to iran in terms of who supply. missiles and that capability has some i am going to end that war which we do not even have the ability to transfer missiles to yemen it's the missiles and they've managed to increase the missiles range. takes a look now at the escalating tensions between two of the biggest players in the middle east recently barely a day seems to go by without saudi arabia making headlines and it almost always boils down to its enemy iran it is a game of chess that spans an entire region on every. the who's the rebels in yemen who saudi arabia has been bombing for many years fire a rocket attack riyadh that the saudis could only describe as a rainy in aggression the saudis also ready to throw that allies under the bus to create an excuse to denigrate iran. q.

iran to destabilize around or or any of iran's proxies in the region saudi arabia is isolated in the ne in the emerging new we do least the last in syria because of the feel of the dash project the last in iraq i was just back from baghdad and talking about that is about not buckin as they should but that about iraqi national unity they lost again with the blockade against karkare they are losing the war on yemen which is horrifying we dance of thousands of civilian casualties and supported by the us congress for that matter and using american weapons and uki weapons and now they're trying to change the narrative they're bringing the run they're trying to ratchet up a confrontation involving lebanon which is caught in the crossfire and it still is the same old story is saudi arabia yes the run and countries seen the middle east states are going to be caught in the crossfire. and saturday night a massive crowd turned out in barcelona demanding the release of catalonia is jailed former leader says the demonstration was held on cut alone is national day and attracted almost a million pe

they didn't deny they to deal with iran. it became something of an embarrassment for them and the isis detecter was saying you are soft on iran and there are safe houses it iranian intelligence is monitoring and you don't do anything about it. al qaeda's are esponse was yeah, but you too. how did you get to syria and iraq. you went to the same safe house. bottom line is that agreement or that relationship is actually not controversial within isis literature recognizes it. the files recognize it. the obumau administration recognize it. on and on and on. it's something that has to be discussed because as they were saying it causes problems for al qaeda. >> and yet in the hands of a savvy information officer, if they'd had that information back in 2011, that might have been something they would have wanted to include in a file to be made public. so maybe it wouldn't sway the jihadists but how about that vast middle of people who are considering going in that direction? >> if i can have one more point on that. if you want someth

let's go back to one of our top stories that devastating earthquake in iran it's being in iran can he is in the iraqi capital baghdad because this happened quite close to the border there and what i just wonder what are you hearing about the rescue efforts what's happening at the scene. where they're continuing in the iranian revolutionary guard corps is in charge of all of that and they're also working with local aid agencies such as the iranian red crescent they're getting in a lot of the field hospital some four field hospitals of already been set up some twenty helicopters are flying around the area in coordination with those rescue and recovery efforts and they've got heavy equipment and so they going in to try and find people that may well be still trapped under the rubble now president hassan rouhani has visited the area he landed in the province of carmen just a few hours ago he'll be visiting some of the most affected areas and this just goes to show you how seriously the iranians are taking this now this is one of the most seismically active regions in the world iranians are

yes any leniency towards iran's hostile policies will encourage iran to continue with their hostile enterprise that's why today we are required to stand up genuinely and honestly with our people and our governments at here to the charter of the league of arab states and international laws to stand up to these children and policies of iran in order to preserve a maintain the prosperity of our people i'm certain that this session will live up to their responsibility placed on our shoulders and hand down the necessity of a solution to deal with and address their repeated violations of our peace and security to conclude i pray to god almighty to guide our steps forward and to continue to bestow stability and peace on our respective countries. and if you allow me mr speaker. i will hand out. a state. mint detailing the damages. caused by the whole scene militias in yemen suffered various different countries in saudi arabia i give the floor to. the foreign minister of her ain pretty much to. ok we've been listening there to bear the foreign minister of saudi arabia who is making a statement after th

embracing this kind of these paranoia driven by these paranoias about iran and so they are one saudi arabia to be strong to make decisive actions take decisive action to take over responsibility in a way that saudi hasn't done for the last decade or even longer and that created the kind of void that the iranians were able to fill in yemen in iraq in syria and in lebanon and but the problem is now is this really for this you need to have a stable leadership and i'm not sure whether these internal problems of the saudi will create a more stable more sustainable leadership in the kingdom or whether that this will actually throw the kingdom into more of a state of disarray that will eventually have ripple effects on on on on partners in the region because saudi cannot assume that leadership because in the parliament will decide he doesn't really appeal to a lot of reality politic jets of his friend the net very wide has any both within the country and outside of the country. what is he playing at when it comes to saad hariri what he apparently made him do his resignation and how does tha

now the geopolitical rivalry between two of the middle east main powers saudi arabia and iran has been destabilizing other regional players yemen and lebanon. and the latest developments strikes targeted the defense ministry in the yemeni capital it was back in march twenty fifteen that saudi arabia first began its incursion into yemen by launching an air campaign against the rebels who are backed by iran you have any civilians have also been affected by the latest saudi led bombing here's what they told our sister channel r.t. arabic. but again and then a second rocket hit my house was destroyed i'm just an ordinary person on the bus driver i'm not a military commander not an agent of the state why did they do that to me my house didn't hold a single bullet did they fear that i had weapons so i want them to watch this i have nothing this is just a house and i'm the poor person that our dispute is you knew my head in leg were injured our houses were destroyed this is the result of aggression how how is this in the area are affected by the strike. the rig has intensified its bombardment
