u.s. pulls out of the iran nuclear deal europe and others stay and say it isn't working so what will be the impact of donald trump's decision will it as feared stoke more middle east conflict this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm a mage enjoy him a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made that's what president donald trump said when he announced he was pulling the us out of the international nuclear pact with iran and he's re imposing sanctions on tehran trump has the backing of saudi arabia the united arab emirates and israel but not china russia the u.k. france or germany who all signed the deal and wanted to survive this is how iran supreme leader reacted to trump's decision to go how to present have police chief the u.s. president made worthless amine remarks there are probably ten lies amongst his comments he announced washington's betrayal from the nuclear deal and threatened iran and its ruling system and said they would do this and that on behalf of the iranian nation i say mr trump you cannot do a damn thing. after much anticipation

how russia sees this triangle with iran and syria. i would argue that russia sees itself as being an unfortunate strategic situation but tactically delicate situation that has to move maneuver among these three points the triangle, but it also is strategically fortunate in that it alone is able to talk to everyone in this configuration in a frank and direct manner without rupturing ties and that's a tribute to russian diplomacy and strategy in the middle east which has been to establish durable contacts and partnerships, working partnerships if you'd like with everybody without getting bogged down in supporting one side or another. the united states doesn't talk to us and it's really doesn't talk to iran. russia contacted israel as well as it talks to asad and the government in tehran and that signifies a major russian victory and it's something we have to keep in mind because syria is not the only place in the middle east. moscow is increasingly active across the middle east, and what it does in syria and people in moscow know this, it's going to have reverberations across the entir

the balance between iran and israel. tactically to wind up war finished the military victory which is almost complete for the durable political order in. perhaps with the modified constitution but with a russian person and the iranian president in syria but not to where it feels it has to go to war to take strikes against iran it does not see to have another war for many reasons. they believe that iran would lose and second they are afraid any kind of war would bring to the area and everything they have carefully built up and third to put the future of the government at great risk and forth moscow does not have the means to sustain long-term operation and united ease -- in the middle east against the united states would much rather exploit conflict rather than stand on this highlighted with somebody else's conflict. and that exploitation of conflict is the essence of russian foreign policy and part of a deliberate strategy to exploit those forever they are forcing the united states to treat moscow as people equal to the united states and we have to understand it doesn't play a stri
