9:10 pm
except of course israel. >> relief of sanctions for arms and the white house also objected to the missile sale. >> i'm not in a position to obviously speculate on the decision making process that russia is engaged in right now but i do think it's safe to say that russia understands that the united states certainly takes very seriously the safety and security of our allies in the region. >> the deal with world powers over iran's nuclear program still has to be finalized particularly over how and whether to lift sanctions. president obama has to deal with opponents in congress, who fear iran is seeking to build weapons. tehran denies that. president putin's latest move complicates the process. but in tehran, a spokesman said the missile deal would improve ties between iran and russia, paving the way for further cooperation. tim frend, al friend, al jazeera. mike viqueria joins us from
9:11 pm
washington. what else are we hearing from people in washington about russia lifting its ban? >> barbara, good evening. it complicates the prois no question aboutprocess, nodoubt. the obama administration promised they would veto, essentially giving congress a veto if there is to be a veto of that june 30th deadline. what the congress looks at this development this den ten day old agreement, this tentative agreement, it just cast more of a cloud over those negotiations within washington, the beltway the white house and the capital. you put that together with the contradictory statements from the supreme leader, contradicting the white house version of events, whether or not there will be intrusive inspections and it really does
9:12 pm
build momentum in congress on the eve of a crucial vote barbara. >> the deal is far from signed and sealed. how much do u.s. officials feel this can complicate things to reach final deal? >> it fuels the fires of leaders in washington, and among the leaders in israel itself, if iran were to breach the deal, if there is in fact to be a deal. that military option would presumably include air strikes against iranian nuclear facilities but if they have this sophisticated weapons systems provided to them by russia those strikes would be harder to carry out. that is the genesis of the anger from israel. feeding the fire in congress among opponents, secretary of state john kerry had to go to capitol hill tonight briefing
9:13 pm
members of the house of representatives behind closed doors. he does the same thing in the senate tomorrow. now it's starting to look like an uphill battle for the administration in congress, barbara. >> thank you mike viqueria. director of iranian studies rat stanford university from where he joins us tonight professor very good to have you with us. some of the reports have described this as a game changer move. do you see this sale of missiles by russia to iran as something that could threaten the nuclear deal? >> i think it could potentially make it much much more difficult as your report indicated to arrive at a final deal. because it does seem to begin the process of breaking the sanctions regime even before there is a final agreement. and this is what many people have been saying. that unless there is a final deal, and russia i think is disingenuous when i.t. says the deal has been -- when it says
9:14 pm
the deal has been made and the beginning of a deal has been made and there's an uphill battle to arrive at a definitive agreement. >> what do you see russia wanting, russia arriving at the talks, why do they possibly sabotage the deal? >> i think russia has at least three objectives. one is they want to endear themselves to the iranians who they have according to the iranian regime stabbed in the back when they vetoed the bills and united nations sacks resolution. two, they get some financial gains out of it, that is multimillion dollar deal. and it gets them off a $4 billion lawsuit that iran has filed. finally, i think russia would not at all be hurt if this deal falls through. an isolated iran and iran
9:15 pm
rapprochement, on approach to rapprochement to the united states is an iran much in need of russia and every deal that russia has made in the last few years. >> the lawsuit you mentioned a lawsuit that iran had filed for russia to go through with the agreement to sell them those missiles, an agreement that was signed years ago. you know we heard barbara and mike viqueria talking about the military option which was still open if iran doesn't agree othis deal for both the united states and israel. is this agreement going to make this agreement much harder to reach, despite john kerry's speeches on capitol hill? >> iran had purchased five quad rons precisely because it was felt it would make air attack on iran much, much more difficult. i don't believe the military
9:16 pm
option is a serious option. i don't think there is a military solution to this. but certainly if iran has this it will make any kind of a particularly air attack on iran much much more problematic i just want to -- >> i just want to get a final question in there was also a reported understanding that israel would not sell sophisticated weapons to georgia and are ukraine both soviet republics if russia didn't make this sale to iran, does this have an effect of possibly escalating a real situation in the region? froaferprofessor you may not have heard you. there was also a reported understanding that israel would not sell sophisticated weapons to georgia and to ukraine if russia didn't sell these missiles to iran. so if this sale goes through is one of the effects a real danger
9:17 pm
of escalation throughout region? >> i would think if the deal goes through and i think it is very wise to say if it goes through, because russia has backed off this deal a couple of times. but if it goes through i think it is very serious game-changer, in terms of the military balance, in terms of what israel might do. in termination of what saudi arabia might do. again tensions unfortunately are on the rise in the region and everyone involved in these tensions is going to be watching very carefully, when and if these batteries arrive in iran. >> professor at stanford university it's very good to join us. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> sudanese go to the polls to elect a president. >> omar bashir is a candidate for reelection.

9:25 pm
>> as we heard earlier bashir is wanted by the international criminal court for war crimes in the western region of darfur. there continues to be allegation he of human rights abuses. from what we know what is the current situation now in sudan? >> sudan remains under repressive rule of the single party state the national congress party. and there have been serious human rights abuses not only in darfur where an incident of mass rape was documented by human rights watch but also almost daily aerial bombardment and repression at the center of the country in the capital itself where civil society activists have been detained. even as recently as today activists who are boycotting the election have been rounded up and nobody knows what's happened to them. >> you mentioned mass rape and this calls into effectiveness to

9:27 pm
crimes that we were mentioning earlier that the international community, what additional role should the international community take and this reluctance to take a stronger stance? >> well, you know we have seen a lot ofliness of reluctance of states to general bashir, someone currently in power hasn't faced criminal charges even at the international scale. >> what about the international community, it has previously accused sudan of crimes in darfur. what should the international community do in darfur? >> the latest the u.n. can do at this time, is support the activists who have come under the sudan call banner to call
