stance on iran is. basically pretty awful and become a trademark of going to donald trump's republican party but how does that actually compare to the u.s. for a new relationship historically is the kind of aggression interference you know really all that new when you look at the u.s. relationship with iran. well no and in fact that's one thing i try to emphasize in my book. if you go back to nine hundred fifty three in the iranians remember this very well the cia's very first. date i was in iran the cia overthrew the democratically elected prime minister of iran mahmoud moses deck and installed installed the shah of iran a king we then helped i should say the cia helped the shah set up his security services called the sock train the sava could not see type torture techniques and helped the shah rule iran until the islamic revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine. very repressive tactics again this is something very much in the memories of the iranian people and something that i think americans need

date i was in iran the cia overthrew the democratically elected prime minister of iran mohammad most a deck in star installed the shah of iran a king we then helped i should say the cia helped the shar set up his security services called the sock train the savar could not see the type torture techniques . and helped the shah rule iran until the islamic revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine. through very repressive tactics again this is something very much in the memories of the iranian people and something that i think americans need to consider when we think about iran and how the iranian government and the iranian people perceive our government. one of the things that that sort of has come up now is that washington the mainstream media really quick to to pay the wave of recent protests in iran as you know a budding popular revolution against the government you know as well here it is now you recently bento ron and have seen the situation on the ground for south and i want to ask you is the political structure there really as close to chaos and failure as the establishment's a

iran's aggression will be unchecked. and it will compress the entire world the nuclear agreement with iran has brought the countdown has begun the countdown to a new reading nuclear arsenal little more than a decade in the sanction relief that they do provided has not moderated iran has not made them more moderate internally and has not made more moderate externally in fact it's unleashed a dangerous iranian terror group in the region and beyond netanyahu has never been a fan of the a new nuclear deal that was signed back in two thousand and fifteen and on multiple times over the years he has called iran a great danger well of course talking about a deal in which tehran signed off to limit its uranium enrichment in response for financial sweeteners i think this deal is a bad. deal now what we hear today from the israeli prime minister is again urging the international community to slap more sanctions on tehran he has called the country the greatest threat to the world and he drew the parallel between the nineteen thirty

they decided to show to iran from responsibility instead of insisting that iran live up to its international obligations they have invited iran to continue promoting chaos in the middle east their actions will not be forgotten and we will not stop until toran is stopped and peace is once more possible for the people of the middle east for some context the crisis in yemen started in twenty fifteen when saudi arabia led a military campaign against those who things and since then the campaign has led to the deaths of thousands and reduced its infrastructure to almost nothing the conflict has been described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis as saudi arabia has imposed a blockade preventing any humanitarian assistance or food from coming into the country. i've been. looking for that. that's. how the health of course is that is taking place in the province of soda is unprecedented in keeping in mind that it was already even before the aggression the offensive of the brigade were initiated and we were hit with this catastrophe which is volatile infectious diseases that spread like wildfire t

iran and syria i think both made it certainly iran has made explicit that if the americans do not leave voluntarily they will be made to leave syria they've said the same about the american presence in iraq i think that in the northern part of the middle east there is a clear determination i don't mean. this is a conspiracy i'm just saying as a clear consensus of view that the american presence in syria and in iraq is going to be disturbing to the stability of the imagination it's upcoming in this temple we're going to have the the russians the turks in the iranians now those three parties had their differences when it comes to syria but they are all united on one issue they do not want american presence illegal under international law presence in syria is that enough to keep them together no i mean it's more complicated but i think the relationship between russia and iran. although there are a long history of disagreements but it is a real strategic interest partly because of the financial war the. they need both russia and iran need if you like commercial depth in order to survive any

that condemned iran over actions in yemen. russia's draft resolution has passed unanimously in the security council today they met to discuss the ongoing situation in yemen and to vote on two rival draft resolutions one proposed by the u.k. and the other by russia of a u.k. draft resolution called for quote additional measures against iran over accusations that it violated an arms embargo now this came after u.n. experts said in january that iranian military equipment was brought in to yemen after the arms embargo was imposed but also stated that they were unable to verify the supplier and russia's draft resolution called for the renewal of sanctions until february twenty ninth but did not mention iran the russian ambassador called for political dialogue and expressed the need for the u.n. to come closer he also explained the reasoning behind the veto let's take a quick look i will be frank the wording advanced in the british draft is liable to have dangerous destabilizing ramifications and this is not only applicable to the s

iran has made more gains in the last decade under the obama administration in terms of advancing its had germany which is not in the united states' interest or israel's interest than they've made in the last thousand years and three i'll quote a former nato commander who said the russians have weaponized refugees pile them into europe allowed isis to infiltrate and have done more to destabilize our partners in europe and the warsaw pact ever did so i think all of those. with respect that's just pure propaganda in my opinion. picture react to that because i mean we could spend the entire program deconstructing only that one small part of that segment simply don't have to worry it's going to essentially michael's finds himself in the spot why because he has to explain he has to respond to to tucker carlson the simple question. assad is fighting isis the united states officially so that it's fighting isis so why is the united states. forces instead of isis the simple question no simple lesson well one that we got a non answer we got it we got to do exactly that inflection it was it was

they have also iran in mind. thank you after the break we'll ask the president of the world consultant john marvel's next man in the fantastic four alleged recall macbook create a mug why he doesn't trust the state mandated b.b.c. as his new monthly kick out call me maybe you around the globe tenth anniversary of his donors pledged thirty billion dollars to iraq what will happen to the three hundred fifty seven million children who are currently living in the conflict zone once they grow up we speak to our own shakra from save the children currently in iraq to listen more coming up about doing going underground. where americans were smooth but one that's not us americans are crude ruthless huckster golf playing sharks that's who we are and that's. why i don't like to go barack obama that's what they learn from. that. so they're going to want to do things that show everybody is going to be very clear like. oh i go through. and they have nothing. ask him you need to feel. something and then what do you how much. do

the iran nuclear deal so in quote its unleashed a dangerous iranian tiger. you want aggression will be shipped. to congress. the nuclear agreement with iran is brought the countdown has begun on the ground during. the russian. the sanction relief that they do provided does not moderated iran does not make them more moderate internally and it's not made more moderate externally interact it's only a dangerous during interrogation in a region and beyond netanyahu has never been a fan of the a new nuclear deal that was signed back in two thousand and fifteen and on multiple times over the years he has called iran a great danger well of course talking about a deal in which to iran signed off to limit its uranium enrichment in response for financial sweeteners i think this do is a bad. deal now what we hear today from the israeli prime minister is again urging the international community to slap more sanctions on tehran he has called the country the greatest threat to the world and he drew the parallel between the nineteen thirty eight munich agreement that failed

directed against iran they have pushed russia and the rawness of i'm sure iran and china closer together russian the russian government years ago wouldn't have wanted to be caught dead in bed with the iran now they find they have so many geopolitical interests in common and they can deal with them so professionally compared to the westerners that you know we're looking at another de facto strategic partnership it's interesting that when you have to when you compare maybe russia's relationship with the rand and how it has to negotiate honest baby step level with turkey for example it's in fact the russian relationship both was iran and was it really could you not theory. of course it's boom or but it's there is growing in the one nine hundred ninety s. when the west and you see olson was the president of russia it wasn't because he also was intimidated and he wasn't it wasn't because his administration was sound that somehow against washington it wasn't it was because it was an issue of the lesion ship the united states pushing back semitic and wanted to be the only superpower in the worl

and it will be wiped out very soon from the map of the middle east iran is moving in iran's involvement in syria has long been a critical issue for israel but now the prime minister's rhetoric may even be time for actions to speak louder than words so we want is changing the ground rules in syria i've said we will not allow them to do that if mr us invites iran in militarily that changes our position such words once enough benjamin netanyahu brought some visual aids said to be part of an iranian drone the israelis into step to as it crossed the syrian israeli border worryingly the drone incident is being called the first known direct confrontation between the two sides militaries and prompted israel to hit iranian targets in syria mr zarif. do you recognize this. you should be george. you can take back with you a message to the tyrants of her around. do not trust israel's resolve the rainy and foreign minister mohammad job and theory for later took his chance to hit back you were. the audience for a cartoon a secret serious. because we were on the right side of history fighting the tali

iran's aggression will be unchecked. and it will compress the entire world the nuclear agreement with iran has brought the countdown has begun the countdown to a new reigning nuclear arsenal a little more than a decade and the sanction relief that they do provided has not moderated iran has not made them more moderate internally and it's not made them more moderate extremely in fact it's unleashed a dangerous iranian terror group in the region and beyond. for more information on this story paula what else did netanyahu say. when essentially being israeli prime minister is urging for more sanctions against iran he says as we heard in that clip that iran poses the greatest threat to the world he drew a parallel between the nine hundred thirty eight munich agreement which essentially was a failed attempt to try and stop an appeaser nazi germany and the two thousand and fifty deal he said that that deal which he repeatedly has called a failed deal unleashed the dangerous iranian tyga now at the same time in his criticisms he

that he suddenly threatened direct military action against iran but he all thoughts on. i'm always very cautious when it gets to this because first of all it's very hard to prove it just shows that there are men under investigation a prime minister and then if investigation cannot function because the suspicion will be raised and that's exactly the reason why mr netanyahu the resign because of those suspicions but having said this i cannot blame any of that everything it does now is because of the investigations because of the shadow of the suspicions over his head because as we know the ten year old behaved very similar e much before all those accusations were in there so i would really give him the benefit of the doubt and say no mr material you can't now function as a prime minister for israel when they are small mainly suspicions against you but i still trust that what you do is according to what you believe and of because of any other conclusion. israeli jennifer thanks very much for your comments on this particular issue thanks kitty thank you. a passenger plane ha

is trying to fend off a triple threat from iran russia and china. and there is complete unanimity i've seen no dissent whatsoever among any of the mainstream commentators or political politicians liberal conservative or what have you they all agree that . they must rebut the russia and china and the rainy and threat madness. and i can see have that strategy can possibly prevail well you know ivan i'm i'm. don't agree that there are threats whatsoever i mean china is a regional power russia is certainly and. not a global power its reach is actually quite small and if you look at russian foreign policy and defense policy it's very most concerned about their sovereignty more than anything else and the near abroad i know some people don't like that term but it's it's real ok i mean these these threats here in a rant iran it's surrounded by. nato or neutral related countries bases i mean this is all a fiction here but it certainly is very good for the arms industry i mean donald trump has been such a sugar daddy to them this year and next year for sure g

i can assure you that would be iran's interest are not secured iran would respond really respond seriously we will not be the first ones to an agreement will reach all that was true you spoke of netanyahu as attempts to achieve we achieved it in spite of him being implemented in spite of him and the world will maintain that agreement in spite of his militants. now these comments by the israeli prime minister come just days after israeli police recommended that he be indicted for bribery forward and breach of trust so that is why there are those in israel and indeed elsewhere who say that these comments by the israeli prime minister are really just an attempt to try and attract attention away from the corruption charges he faces poll a lot of speculation out his policy reporting from tel aviv thanks for the. passenger plane has crashed in central iran in carrying sixty passengers including a child along with six crew members according to iranian state media there were no survivors greek the grief stricken relatives of those on board have been struggling to come to terms with the reality. of

security council resolution that condemned iran over actions in yemen and the resolution accused iran of supplying drones and missiles to the rebels in the war ravaged country instead russia offered to support a competing resolution that extends sanctions on yemen without mentioning iraq that document was adopted unanimously let's go now stateside speak for respondants amir of syria tell us more then about the results of the vote. well the u.n. security council met today to discuss the ongoing situation in yemen and to vote on two rival draft resolutions one proposed by the u.k. and the other by russia now the u.k. draft resolution called for quote additional measures against iran over accusations that it violated an arms embargo this came after u.n. experts said in january that iranian military equipment was brought in to yemen after the arms embargo was imposed but they also stated they were unable to verify the supplier now in contrast russia's draft resolution called for the renewal of sanctions until february twenty ninth but did not mention iran now russia vetoed the u.k. resolu

and allies of iran such as russia and the syrian people themselves we would have the black flags of isis and al-qaeda over damascus and baghdad and probably even beirut today so the british government should be very thankful to the iranians for sparing this region from the sort of misery that we would have seen if if the extremists at one present moment really thank you well that's the view from jack run but what about britain's role in the carnage i'm joined now by britain's former ambassador to syria peter ford he's in manchester in northern england thanks for coming back on the show what side is britain on when we hear of atrocities committed by the coalition in syria. so i'm next in it although the british government would have me believe that why britain is a prominent member of the coalition the so-called grand global coalition for the elimination of i think that. british officers are. participating at the highest level in the command and control operation of the fourth they may not be so i many sorties over syria because there are very few i left the fact from the air but whi

they said exactly the same thing as the israelis but it's really directed against iran and. adel said something a few minutes ago waiting for the americans to do something stupid well the stupid thing would be in conjunction with israel attacking around go ahead. well the israelis like to use iran as a scapegoat to justify their aggression on neighboring countries and also subjugate the palestinian people is very similar to what it's for apartheid regime in south africa used to do when they were demonized they end the now and then they end they were communists and in the west they passed laws against them too in the united states they in theory was a terrorist organization and so was president mandela when he was president the law wasn't changed so when he would go to the united nations general assembly he'd have to get special permission the present. south africa to enter the country because he was the head of. a terrorist organization so that's by using communism apartheid south africa a person with those policies against neighboring countries in the end of the african maj
