what exactly does that mean how quickly can iran rev up its nuclear program are we now in imminent danger of seeing it essentially restart its own program. first of all let me say this much or. into the buys or just appraiser just. gives the rights to iran to the sepia ways the name of that nuclear agreement just like you. give iran's a ride the also spends the right to redraw its obligations if the laws of the do not comment. is not to. resonate. not to destroy their agreement but through schools or government. puts the ball in a crowd also international community especially if we but also russia and china to find a mechanism to. read this. you know it was that jones ok and we will come back to the sanctions a little bit earlier but let's take a closer look at this deal at this j.c. the way as you said that at the time it was side to trump's predecessor barak obama called a historical triumph for diplomacy the deal was signed in 2015 after 13 years of frankly 5 permanent members of the u.n. security council on the one side and iran on the other agreed that iran would cease activit

on the part of iran what is there to prevent. thank you for having me on your program as i have said before i think the chances of a military confrontation or a full. pledge war between the united states and iran are very slim at this time because of the states that have been made by the iran's supreme leader ayatollah khomeini as well as by to president of the united states donald trump recently donald trump has said very clearly very explicitly that he's not interested in getting in gage in another endless war in the middle east. that danger however is a miscalculation by either iran or do u.s. war or an event instigated by some regional players in that iran has to respond and then the u.s. has to respond to iranian response and then this can get out of control and denby might have a limited military confrontation this is why it is very important for iran and the united states to open channels of communication between their top leadership or at least between the military leaderships of the 2 countries so that beacon prevent a miscalculation or a military limited military confrontat
