people in iran. the people in iran do not like more to have negotiation for us that is this if you really come from eyes but so you if you give more. the u.s. wants more becomes it's becoming popular. people most of the suffering comes from the sanctions in the past people think it was. too high a person mismanagement but it's not sukkahs more torito sic has issued an ultimatum to the remaining parties to the nuclear deal but especially to the europeans demanding that they find a way to evade the u.s. sanctions and trade with iran in a meaningful way within the next 60 days any chance that's going to happen this ultimatum puts the europeans in a very difficult position in terms of what to do next it either can continue to do business with iran and try to make this deal stick or it can decide that its business with the united states is too important and let that kind of financial ties between iran and europe fade if europe does so i think iran has within its power the interest to develop closer relati

at the moment iran. has. as its not the moment that you honest nothing to lose if the one day one has nothing to do with. then it can for example -- blocks the through the foremost array a significant other chipping. happens this was the straits in a pension goes but it's a moment i don't think. that the iran is interested in military confident i also think the us is also not interested i- military conflict and the this the in what we see in the last days in this more. cycle okay of office measures to prevent -- investments in business in iran because no businessman want to do with the county wednesday's the feel that the mobile home the next days the rebel well. let me ask the two of you how you interpret these us claims. about having new and credible -- evidence of a qualitatively higher risk and tory tussosock u mentioned the hard liners in the white house john bolton -- certainly everybody remembers the evidence that he and others presented in the run up to the iraq war is that what we're seeing here a si

on china on russia to pull out of the agreement to stop doing business with iran that iran hasn't hasn't received the benefits that it was promised in exchange for curtailing its nuclear enrichment activities and other actions that the rest of the world felt might be able to lead to a nuclear weapon so now iran did exercise what it calls to teach it patience and it simply says look our economy is not doing as well as you promised us it would you have not stood up to the united states and now basically we're going to start calling some conditions of our own we know that germany is one of the five countries which remain signatories to this deal which is take a listen to what germany's foreign minister said today. that. we don't agree with the steps taken by iran today first or. message is and remains clear we along with our partners on condition of the standby the nuclear agreement and that's why we expect iran to stand by the agreement completely and unconditionally extension so there were you know we've got iran accusing its partners including germany of not upholding their part of the n

in various areas beginning with the nuclear capabilities that iran has iran would retreat from the n.p.t. it has the option of bringing new generations of centrifuge machines in line and producing enriched uranium a bomb to any person levels to 60 or even 90 percent levels then also iran has the power to in care costs and the united states through a number of fall instruments that it already has one is using its allies in the region everywhere they could make life harder for the united states also iran seems to have a very to have a very good and serious option for exercising strict check and inspection measures in the strait of foremost before. shuts down this trade actually and through this way iran could you know direct this punishment tour's the saudis the u.a.e. the united states the ones that are doing their best in order to bring tehran to its knees iran also has upped the option of the glaring at this season for increasing the range of its ballastic misses iran has the option of working and starting to work on manufacturing i.c.b.m. the intercontinental ballistic missiles iran al

of course iran has to be willing to talk to us. but there are a variety of other back channels that be used i hope are being used to reduce that risk in this miscalculation. >> do you get the sense that. >> based on in increased pressure. >> we are told that they have some. i can't get into specifics. but we are told that iran is less threatening from what we have seen as a result of our actions. >> you do you get the sense the situation is deescalating from here? >> yeah, that's a difficult thing to calculate. there is a lot going on and a lot of different places. so i would hesitate to say it's declated. >> do you know nag about the military build up in the gulf with the bombers in qatar and the queerier appointment. >> i think putting ourselves in position that iran knows if they strike our troops they face response is appropriate. i don't have a problem with that. >> do we flow anything more about the rocket attack? >> no. >> what are the next steps from here? what's the administration's overall strategy with how to deal with i

what message is that going to send to iran? how will iran respond? will it be asymmetric or something or public? something that people will say is that you have to separate some of the rhetoric from the administration's policy. if the policies are often very good and don't pay as much attention to the rhetoric of the policies will get things done. the iranians capable of doing that communications in that way and if not, what is the next step, it's their way for u.s. diplomats and others to get around that? >> this issue of the inouncement today of troops, think that goes on the side of ver measuredy . calibrated pieces this is not escalation. i don't think the iranians will necessarily react to this. the larger point to go back to for me is whether they understand how that rhetoric matches what the steps are doing. are supposed to represent. i would include in that the decision to go to departure or evacuate a significant number of personnel from baghdad which is a measure we did not do at the height of the threat to baghdad in 2014-2015 by isis. we

to try and help iran or back iran on this doesn't. exactly but. the situation is exactly like this the united states withdraw from withdrew from. the north european companies invest in the run anymore even if iran stays in the deal it doesn't make any change because iran cannot do any banking business cannot export its all any more so even if iran says i'm going to stay in the deal what's going to change if even if they stay european countries have i mean try to install to two to do something new called special purpose because it's called in stakes but no no no company has started dealing with this and even if they decide to go with this i have i have a quotation from the assistant an assistant white house saying in a conference he says that if you are a bank investor in insurer or other business in europe you should not getting involved in the special purpose. is a very poor decision so that means that if even if you use this special purpose vehicle. the companies that use this. purpose cannot do business anymore in the united states and is going

and iran. i want them to sophie in the poem soviet shevardnadze the united states has ordered a military build up in the middle east siding their rising threat from iran. this nation's on a bring all out conflict i ask most and malani of the executive director of the center for strategic and diplomatic status at the university of south florida. with a new round of sanctions on iran by the united states the prospect of a working diplomatic solution to the question of iran's nukes is fading with american troops massing in the region. sanctions between tehran and washington are becoming more dangerous for everyone will try to push the president into an even tougher stance on iran what exactly is the u.s. hoping to achieve with this month's hostility towards the islamic republic and can the renewed american pressure really make. most an milani of the executive director of the center for strategic and diplomatic studies at the university of south florida while come to the show it is rate great to ha

one of the iran's top military officials has already said that iran will send american warships to the bottom of the sea with some secret weapons is iran exaggerating its military capabilities or do they really have some super weapon nobody has heard about. i do not though if you don't has a secret nuclear weapon i doubt it very much i will take that more as a propaganda or a psychological warfare on the part of the wrong done is a serious threat in case there is a military confrontation between iran and the united states you do not have to be a genius to figure out the outcome of the united states will prevail so us defense secretary patrick shanahan is saying that sending warships to the gulf is aimed at tearing not provoking iran my pump is also saying that this is done against the possibility of iranian attack on americans or american interests so if iran is really planning to do anything against americans will release later as development really deter tehran from action. excellent question if you look at the iranian foreign policy in the east. 20 years 18 or 20 years you can see t

have been dealing with iran. yeah you're not the only one suggesting that there are people all around the world and washington members of congress on both sides of the aisle which is rare in washington to get that kind of agreement at least from some republicans and democrats very concerned about the escalus torrie language that is coming from the trumpet ministration as well and specifically from his national security advisor john bolton as the united states is dispatch warships it is taking a very hawkish approach and really shining some of those international relationships was she the united states says it values particularly when it comes to the european leaders there's a real worry about who's in charge here who's foreign policy this is with respect to iran and the united states you know is this donald trump policy or is he sort of outsource this to his secretary of state mike pompei o as well as his national security advisor john bolton and here's why this is worrying you know john bolton certainly doesn't

demonstrating iran's commitment to that nuclear deal despite earlier on today iran saying that it will resume high level enrichment of uranium if the countries that are part of that deal don't stick to their promises. absolutely he's not just demonstrating that he's also demonstrating that iran is not powerless on the global stage by going to moscow by appearing next to serve a strong international ally a country that's become a strong international other runs over the last few years sending a clear message to the united states that if it stands against iran iran may seem isolated but it does not stand alone on several issues let's go over a little bit of what. he said now of firms this cooperation with the nuclear deal as one of the people or one of the countries that helped negotiate it one of the signatories to the deal he affirmed his cooperation with the deal thereby cementing the fact that it is still somehow alive that it is not too late to continue to try and save the deal he also called the u.s. sanctions against iran unacceptable and illegitimate and said that iran's relation

for iran toet g. the europeans would be the ones to help deliver that. caethey deliver th incentives economically to keep iranwit this deal? >> i think it's very tough because, as i think you knw right well, the u.s. secondary economic sanctions s if you deal with the central bank of iran you can't deal with an american bank are incredibly powerful because, que frankly, virtually every company in the world would choose an american bal over the centnk of iran. and when you marry that with the g l sanctions, with the administration try go to zero exports allowed around thet worley're very powerful sanctions. the u.s. has to be careful in what it does, though. if we use these sanctions too much, people will begin to saysh that wld no longer have the dollar as the reserve otrnssy for the world. the r thing i point out, nick nmy view, there are tactics here but no strategy, and certainly no consistent strategy. if we take a look at north korea, if we take a look at venezua, if we take a looat how we're dea

iran may be economically isolated but the message from russia is that iran is not alone. together the foreign ministers of both countries put european signatories to the iran deal on notice. because i had on his show these actions by the u.s. government which is a law breaking government therefore over the past year iran despite what the u.s. is doing we have stayed committed to our decision today we made a decision to implement that. not to stop its implementation not to work against it not like the americans will withdraw from it. in a letter to him basters of the u.k. france germany china and russia president rouhani said those countries have sixty days to implement their promises to protect iran's oil and banking sectors from u.s. sanctions he said steps iran is taking remain in line with the wording of the nuclear deal iran remains committed to it and to maintaining peace in the region but experts into herat say the country is also preparing for things to get worse before they get better. iran's announcement comes as american forces have been deployed to the region i

some you know scores goals in iran on iran during trump's presidency if they see an opportunity there and i think iran is trying to you know reach out to them to say that's where not threatening unlike what the united states is saying why you know proposing proposal like the non-aggression pact but they are falling on deaf ears i would say and how significant is a rainy and influencing policy in the gulf region i mean buck rein in saudi arabia for instance say iran feels unrest and then a shia populations and of course there's the war in yemen with terror and supporting the who feels so iran does have a huge amount of influence region it doesnt it. of course it does but not the way the saudis are for trent now it's basically you know they're there were and are rests and their countries during the arab spring iran didn't mettle they crushed the uprising in bahrain the saudis did their military did and they waged a war on their yemenis long before you know iran had anything to do with am any crisis so 4 years of you know devastating war in yemen has caused saudi you know $6000000000.00

and iran. at least 43 people have been killed in syria in 2 days of bombardment by russian backed government forces they're targeting the remaining rebel strongholds and hama and southern more than 300000 people have been forced from their homes in the last month al-jazeera is diplomatic editor james braze reports from the united nations where the u.n. special envoy to syria is calling for an immediate cease fire. special envoy good morning are you concerned about the situation in the u.n. special envoy garr pedersen here in new york to brief the security council as the offensive in it live continues he met ambassadors here in the consultations room the place where close security council meetings are held afterwards mr pedersen who's trying to get peace talks going again in geneva said his meeting had been dominated by events in adlib there are 3000000 civilians. in a live prominence too many has been killed and obviously what is happening is not proportional in relationship to civilian casualt

with regard to iran. yes absolutely look my convo is going on this afternoon to make a speech about the much vaunted special relationship between the u.k. and the united states and perhaps a moment here to try and rally around allies to the u.s. cause on iran at a time when the u.s. is ramping up pressure maximum pressure on iran and perhaps unsurprising that at this point they come to london to try and see whether the u.k. is swayed by the moves by president rouhani to selectively withdraw from parts of the nuclear accord the u.s. of course withdrew a year ago and they would love to see the european signatories germany and france and the u.k. of course all of whom still support the accord all of whom are working still to try and circumvent secondary u.s. sanctions to allow trade to continue with iran with the government and with the economy there the u.s. would love to see them basically stop that withdraw altogether and come on sides as allies in the u.s. cause well if that was the hope and it does seem

says is a threat posed by iran. the leaders of both the united states and iran have said they want to avoid a conflict but both sides continue to send strong signals they are ready for one and as tensions heighten between iran and washington the latest announcement from president hassan rouhani puts even more pressure on european countries and remaining signatories to the nuclear deal to do something to salvage an agreement that's been in jeopardy since u.s. president donald trump took office saying. well france says it's concerned by tehran's actions and has called on iran to respect all of its commitments to the nuclear deal but russia and china have blamed washington for forcing tehran mike hanna has the global reaction. the u.s. secretary of state arrives at ten downing street for talks with the british prime minister the store's u.s. ally deeply alarmed by the iranian announcement and making clear it continues to oppose the u.s. decision to pull out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal iran must never be able to

anything such as iran con life and cost to. the u.s. national security adviser says he's almost but iranian naval mine this time is to oil tankers off the coast of the united arab emirates earlier this month john bolton do. didn't provide any evidence to back up his comments he's currently visiting the u.a.e. where he said america's response has been successful in deterring what he described as threats from iran in the region let's go live to syria's same bus rafi is that what's been saying about these accusations from jumbo. well it in the last hour iran's foreign ministry spokesman a bus mousavi has categorically denied and rejected what he called john bolton's ridiculous allegations against iran he also characterized the u.s. national security adviser as a warmongering figure in his comments saying that there is no evidence to suggest that iran carried this out that these are blatant accusations and earlier this morning we heard from iran's president hassan rouhani saying that the united states has made many contradictory st

or when you back iran. came all over reaction now at this time with chairman of the british conservative think tank the bow group welcome back to r.t. the united nations has confirmed numerous times that iran has been in compliance with the terms of the twenty fifty nuclear deal but prove to the trumpet ministration have the said otherwise. well i think it's that they still you certainly do have indications not just that iran has broken. elements of the park but also that iran continues to be a sponsor of terror beyond that i think the trumpet ministration sound the agreement to be a bad deal for the united states. so on almost every facet in the analysis of the current administration it is not the right deal for the united states and that's where they pulled out more mr trump says he's ready to negotiate a new deal but if you're of work. why would you contemplate that if you've got mr trump who's just torn up one deal it seems that whoever you change in the white house everything can go back to square one

, sir, will you speak directly to iran? >> there are plenty of ways we can have communications, i'm confident in that. thank you all. >> thank you. >> starting memorial day may 27th, all week in prime time, c-span has coverage of commencement ceremonies taking place at colleges and universities across the country. featured speakers include maryland representative elijah cummings, acting defense secretary patrick shanahan. former georgia house minority leader stacy abrams. president donald trump and supreme court associate justice sonia sotomayor. our commencement coverage starts memorial day 8 p.m. eastern. watch anytime at c-span.org and listen on the free c-span radio app. >> the complete guide to congress is now available. it has lots of details about the house and senate for the current session of congress. contact and bio information about every senator and representative. plus, information about congressional committees. state governors, and the cabinet. the 2019 congressional directory is a handy, spiral-bound guide.

waivers on iran's ability to sell oil has been a real keystone here for iran to say look we're not a paper tiger we will take action and we have a road map on this the other side deliver something soon is the space thing at this moment in time for the europeans to be renegotiate you know talking to the u.s. even if it's behind closed doors because obviously the europeans or the or in quite a dilemma they are being threatened heavily by washington d.c. . i think there is certainly space but this needs to come up very high levels high political levels. compare as in the u.k. today the u.k. senior officials should be making this point that through the us actions on this nuclear deal they have really put the complete deal on the brink of collapse now this may well be what certain elements within the u.s. administration have intended but certainly this is not to the benefit of the europeans and there needs to be some very high level engagement with the trumpet ministration to see if there can be some easing particularly of these waivers that have been revoked but also on the issue of civi

way well since then iran has shown remarkable restraint spun for how much longer iran nell says it may quit the deal too and that puts the hardliners in tehran and washington on the same trajectory where international deals along with international peace have little chance of surviving i'm burned off in berlin this is the day. the nuclear deal is still in place. but today we will flip and show the other side of the coin on the deal they've made a number of statements about actions they threaten to do in order to get the world to jump what will see what they actually do as it will wake up to observe that they need to be very clear that if they don't comply there will be consequences that assurance to expect our colleagues first of all european ones and volunteers to find a solution to the problem created by the americans to fulfill their obligations. and it is obvious that the americans intend to have a destructive approach because the shadow they don't have that. also coming up election day in south africa twenty five years ago hopeful voters said yes to change today disillusioned vote

so i mean i think the us administration knows very well that iran is not seeking nuclear iran has never been seeking nuclear weapons and we do not have any record of attacking any other countries but the thing is. trump is using this as a once again another excuse to bring iran into table 2. also mentioned to me he's on deal in make iran to surrender to his terence i think it's it is also has to do with. policy to kind of milk so do you. give more money to the u.s. by creating an apparently a security dilemma. concerns. marrieds and so do you persuade some into buying more weapons. that point that you just mean about trump paving the way for him to make his own deal i want to bring in a comment we just got on you tube from sheltie who says i would get back to the negotiating table as soon as possible and we implement the death e.p.o. the iran nuclear deal if that even possible so that's just one person's perspective but hillary where are we right now because of course iran didn't pull out of the deal. you know exactly that the u.s. broke an agreement that was already negotiated so how d

about iran. i i'm talking about north korea. and i'm not talking about president barack obama, i'm talking about donald trump. donald trump was willing to sit down with a criminal dictator and give away unprecedented concessions in thenp hopes that north korea would abandon its nuclear program. on the other hand, he turned his dback on iran, a large country with a growing moderate population, roughly 75 million people, the majority of which, erst i checked, are under the age of 25. a moderate president, and let me be real clear, there's some bad actors in iran, and some of them are in powerful positions. but unfortunately, the actions of in the administration -- unlike the actions of the last tministration, the obama administration, here's what they sought to do: they sought to diminish the extremists, the hard-liners and their sway over what happens in iran. and at the same time, to bolster a new generation of iranians that are growing up who are more ndderate in nature and, frankly, would like

president warned about the quote end of iran as a response to iran's foreign minister zarif used his twitter account to say quote iranians have stood tall for millennia while it's aggressors are all gone economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won't and iran never threaten an iranian tribe respect it works relations of course between the 2 countries have only worsened since washington pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal last year and tensions rose yet again when trump announced more economic measures against iran earlier this month i want to get more on this now with bradley bowman he is a former national security advisor to members of the u.s. senate he served more than 15 years in the u.s. army and is currently senior director of the center on military and political power welcome thank you for joining us look that tweet from president trump it says if iran wants to fight that will be the official end of iran there is now an aircraft carrier heading for the gulf there i mean during previous presidency is a statement like you see here in this tweet that would likely signal some sort

nuclear deal on the iran deal. it is a very important achievement of weston diplomacy that despite all the problems that we have in the middle east today iran does not have nuclear weapons and its neighbors have not responded by getting their own nuclear weapons and. section pompei and i are one in agreeing that it will be a massive step back for that region if it became nuclearized we've made a decision different than the united kingdom has with respect to the chase e.p.o. way and so. iran's decision to depart from the j.c.b. for us mostly is about their decision to work on their nuclear program and i'm confident that as we watch iran's activity that the united kingdom and our european partners will move forward together to ensure that iran has no pathway for a nuclear weapon system now is the us secretary my company were there speaking in london earlier today i want to bring in our chief political correspondent belinda crane she is on the story for us tonight here in berlin good evening to you melinda i mean what

says is a threat posed by iran. the leaders of both the united states and iran have said they want to avoid a conflict but both sides continue to send strong signals they are ready for one and there's tensions heighten between tehran and washington the latest announcement from president hassan rouhani puts even more pressure on european countries and remaining signatories to the nuclear deal to do something to salvage an agreement that's been in jeopardy since u.s. president donald trump took office. the u.s. house judiciary committee has voted to hold attorney general william barr in contempt of congress that escalates the democrats' legal battle for the trumpet ministration of access to robert miller's russian report has refused to submit and under the active version of the special counsel's findings president trump has a certain executive privilege over the support shielding it from public view the chair of the u.s. house foreign affairs committee is pushing for gulf countries to work together to contain what he

yes iran is absolutely a threat iran is essentially been in an asymmetrical war with the united states for 40 years since 1989 iran is the world's worst state sponsor terrorism supporter of hamas hezbollah 600 american service members lost their lives during the iraq war because of the militias in iraq that showed their potency and in some cases their existence to iran i've seen as could force so the trump mistake made the decision to withdraw from the iran deal. people of good faith can disagree on the wisdom of that approach but what i think you we have to agree is that there are some fundamental flaws or some at least some serious flaws in the iran deal i would quickly name among those the sunset provision iran says they never want to go weapons so if they don't want a nuclear weapon why can't those restrictions be permanent why did they insist on a sunset clause why did not address the ballistic missile program which would be the primary means by which they would deliver a nuclear weapon why was the verification regime not more robust why did we see the transfer of millions and mil

imposed strict sanctions on iran in all exports and put iran's revolutionary guard on a list of terrorist organizations and recently the american aircraft carrier group the u.s.s. abraham lincoln was deployed to the strait of hormuz seventeen million barrels of oil are taken through the sea routes in the gulf every day iran has threatened to close it multiple times. let's bring in our guests in tehran mohammad marandi professor of north american studies at the university of tehran on skype from reston virginia rhenish a republican strategist and consultant and in berlin. this thing follow brookings doha center a welcome to you all like to begin with you mohammad marandi in teheran this has been a very aggressive policy by this administration this u.s. administration to iran we are all is always expecting iran to react in your opinion is this a fair reaction the events of the day. i think it's a rather mild reaction but president rouhani has said that there will be further acts on behalf of iran if the european union does not change its policy the iranians have shown strategic patience for

the case to the un security council in order to redouble pressure on iran however iran did not fall into this trap and did not play in the united states as court our friends including the european countries asked us to give them some time and we said yes because we wanted our people to know we are patient and work in a calculated way we know how important the deal is and scuttling the deal would be costly and detrimental to the region and the world some of it the move comes on the anniversary of the us withdrawing from the agreement since then tensions between washington and tehran have risen substantially. in a letter to the ambassadors of the u.k. france germany china and russia rouhani said those countries had sixty days to implement their promises to protect iran's oil and banking sectors from u.s. sanctions he said iran was still committed to the deal but analysts say it's a signal iran's patience is running out the iranians are saying that we cannot continue like this we've been waiting for a year since the americans have exited the agreement and we have been waiting to see wh

limit its obligations under the 2015 nuclear deal was also responding to saudi arabia's claims that iran sabotage to oil tanker. we'll see what happens 9 with iran if they do anything it will be a very bad mistake if they do anything i'm hearing little stories about iran if they do anything they will suffer greatly we'll see what happens with the run the more the us warned us to state my pompei against their skill ating the situation over iran comes as america's top diplomat made an unexpected visit to brussels for talks with e.u. ministers are all of the reports. michael heard that very clearly today from from the us the most responsible attitude to take is and clearly should be and that of maximum maxon and restraint avoiding any escalation on a military site well this was a meeting that was all set it was all planned there was supposed to be sitting down the e.u. foreign ministers as well as the high representative for foreign affairs federica mockery me she's essentially the use overarching equivalent of a foreign minister they were supposed to be sat down talking about libya they tr

offer should iran iran wiping your own off the map therefore we are facing a president who to really lead does not know what he wants a multi-role or he does or president rouhani who didn't respond by making that phone call he does know exactly what he wants it's just the iranians and some members of the international community do it. to ask you britain is now threatening iran not to pull out of the agreement that you negotiated helped to negotiate to pull out of the nuclear deal in response to president james violation of the deal so what is britain is britain for so i'm sure on the 1st he started to get a $1000000000.00 the british foreign minister should understand fast. the u.k. shewed comp a live in its commitment within the nuclear deal the u.k. has totally fate therefore fair's the leaver your commitments then put a condition between all signatories of iran nuclear deal the us has completely violated we draw from the d y elated that d. while it had united nations security council the europeans including u.k. they have failed to deliver a clear commitments for normal trade and

is talking of a substantial risk from iran is that really the case here. sorry the tensions are there you are right but even the american embassy alert for their citizens in iraq but actually on the ground there is nothing to this moment the americans are thinking that if something happened god for a bit of something heavy that proxies or those who are pro iran they may do so may they may become some threat on embassy and americans it is but till this moment there is nothing on the ground everything is normal we hope they can contain the conflict. the yellow cannot be rockets and bombs. on tuesday the iraqi pm said that things will end up well despite all the current rhetoric why doesn't he share this view about the substantial threat from iran well a very shady americans are. scared maybe there will be some reaction from the approaches but i guess i will say as a rock as government was friendly very friendly relations with both sides we hope that you don't become a part of this conflict but oppose it to be a breach for peace and for dialogue between them.

port the allegations of an attack that the united states says was carried out by iran iran has said that that was possibly a false flag operation carried out by the united states or israel also providing no evidence for this so certainly they are on opposite sides of a story that both countries leaders are trying to control and to that end in the last few weeks what iran has been doing is pushing the diplomacy narrative they've been trying to reach out to gulf arab neighbors they've said that their arms are wide open and they're willing to sign a non-aggression pact and the foreign ministry has been pushing out information steadily to suggest to its neighbors and to the wider world that the things that the united states says in their experience the rhetoric from the american government is something that cannot be taken too seriously. in his 1st media briefing as iran's new foreign ministry spokesman abbas moussavi wasted no time getting to the point if the united states wants talks with iran the starting point is returning to the 2015 nuclear deal. now we won't have any negotiation is th

policy has been based on pressures to weaken iran to ariza lately iran but today the us is facing the reality that iran if not the most powerful stable country in the region is one of the most powerful influential stable countries in the region therefore iran has achieved all these without nuclear bomb that's why iran i believe would be able to continue with the same capacity and policy and the strategy well there's a massive show of strength by the united states right now in the persian gulf and headed to the persian gulf when you were negotiating the iranian nuclear deal presumably you were balancing to what extent in the negotiations what most because they were beijing's a little in washington do you think moscow and beijing need to learn the lessons of being too quiet about support for international law the lessons of the libya war when it comes to this current violation of the agreement you helped negotiate between iran and the people as if i was well you know i think compared to our the 5 plus one members russia and china they have been more sincere for implementing the european

sanctions on iran and fall ways. has been accused of violating those sanctions by providing iranian customers with equipment or anyway products that contained restricted u.s. content so there's sort of 2 things going on here whether huawei is a national security risk is kind of a long term question. i don't personally think that most people using a smartphone from is a serious security concern i wouldn't necessarily advise top ministers of state around the world to use that but you know a regular citizen i don't think is a very big deal but there are real debates to be had about whether various countries would want to have while way infrastructure underlying their entire 5 g. stack and the choice busy there can be either black and white to ban weiwei or busy it can be more grady ated in to say you know some equipment in some parts of the network are not a security risk but other equipment or other products and other parts of that work would be so i think this is really a technical cybersecurity question that has gott

permitted to essentially completely embargo trade with iran then iran will surely leave the nuclear deal and proceed to with its plans or its former attempts to get an atomic weapon so the europeans moved together to establish their own payment system that would allow european companies to go around u.s. payment systems in order to keep trade with iran alive that hasn't proven very effective to date but here's mike pompei was saying we will only tolerate this as long as humanitarian goods exclusively are involved meaning any other trade with iran will be sanctioned this means essentially a confrontation course between the u.s. not and not only iran but between its closest allies namely the europeans if in fact they try to keep trade with iran alive i'm machall has just returned from the united states where she delivered the commencement address at harvard university and she outlined a vision that was essentially diametrically opposed to trump's approach can pump a is visit in any way help improve relations between the 2 allies. unlikely indeed we have an absolute frontal clash betwe

president saying he's not seeking regime change in iran and i'm not looking that hurt iran at all i'm looking to have iran say no nuclear weapons we have enough problems in this world right now with nuclear weapons no nuclear weapons for and i think will make a deal i think iran again i think iran has tremendous economic potential it was a softer tone from trump after weeks of increasing tension following the reimposition of sanctions on iran because of its nuclear development. pains prime minister is considering a trip to tehran next month and has offered to mediate in the dispute donald trump didn't publicly respond to that offer specifically but supports the idea of going to iran pushing this visit has been all about relationship building but given that donald trump can sometimes be an unpredictable president he may well be nervous that a lot of his hard work could be easily undone particularly on the key issues of trade and security. with no significant announcement on trade there will inevitably be more tension over the large trade deficit the united states has with japan and the

iran are paying the price the iranian government is. has a lot of resources and they know how to survive but the or do you manage to run are paying the price the problem with that iranians are muslims and that will reflect badly with the other muslim people not the government people from tunisia morrocco algeria egypt saudi arabia syria but. all the arab men all the arab countries or the muslim countries and the musea and so on so they will all become part of the feeling the sympathy for the iranian people iranian muslims who are paying the price for the american. policies that illegal policies so basically what the americans are doing are putting more sympathy towards iran within the countries that maybe have a political problems with the with the state of iran but the people of these countries the muslims all over the world they feel tremendous sympathy for their any and people in particular if there were a new start to show the world how the people of iran are suffering from this embargoed and suffering from this an american actions

iran wasn't officially on the agenda at the e.u. summit in romania but following tehran's move on wednesday to suspend some of its commitments to the twenty fifty nuclear deal european leaders were forced to discuss the crisis the french president said europe still supported the accord known as the j c p o a and he urged iran not to break it before us france has stayed in it and will stay in it and i deeply wished it iran will too it is up to us to work to convince everyone and iran to stay in it the e.u.'s foreign policy chief was one of the deals main negotiators it's a matter of security for us and for the entire world the european union investments in nonproliferation continues to be a top priority for us so far we have see iran fully compliant with all its nuclear related commitments frustration is growing among leaders with being caught between the u.s. and iran as tensions on both sides mount before the summit the e.u. rejected an ultimatum from tehran given european powers sixty days to come up with a plan to shield iran's e

iran continues to violate arms embargo. iran continues to oppress its own people. indeed i have spent the better part of two decades developing legislation and policies to stop iran's quest for a nuclear weapon and attacks against our allies, including israel. working across the aisle often cajoling and prodding the executive branch and our allies, congress led the effort to build an extensive economic and political pressure campaign to force iran to the negotiating table. our allies in europe, asia and across the world, most of whom share our concern about iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon and its broader maligned activities have been critical to this effort. when building a policy to effectively confront an adversary, you must have an end goal. you must have clear objectives, and you must take actions in pursuit of those objectives. with iran, our objective was to ensure that iran never develops a pathway towards a nuclear weapon. so i'm all for putting on as much pressure as we can, but that requires also having a clear way of showing how it can be alle
