much anticipation u.s. president donald trump made good on a signature campaign promise solidifying his america for its agenda i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made. the u.s. negotiated the agreement with iran in twenty fifteen along with the united kingdom france germany china and russia to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief with the announcement the united states now brea imposes tough economic sanctions on iran's oil and banking sectors that had been lifted arguing iran did not live up to its end of the agreement we have definitive proof that this arabian promise was a lie. even though u.s. intelligence the united nations and european allies maintain iran has been
2:04 pm
compliant under the agreement trump cited a recent israeli report that iran had not been truthful about its activities before entering into the deal trouble also argues the agreement should have dealt with iran's military pursuits in the region and its ballistic missile program. capitol hill the top senate democrat disagrees and to me the right thing to do would have been to try and come up with our allies with an agreement on those issues and let the nuclear part of this continue as is because it's not being violated in any way trump's predecessor barack obama the man who oversaw the deal called trump's decision a serious mistake in a statement obama said without the agreement the united states could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear armed iran or another war in the middle east. deede former democratic

presidential candidate bernie sanders believes the united states is already on that path the road to the war in iraq did not simply begin in two thousand and three it was laid down brick by brick over a number of years ironically as the president tore up the nuclear deal with iran secretary of state mike pompei it was on his way to north korea laying the groundwork for a nuclear deal with p.r. nyang president indicated the united states is willing to negotiate a new deal with iran but he says his decision also signals the united states will no longer make were trying calls empty threats. kimberly how al-jazeera at the white house al-jazeera same. joins us. now live tell us more about the reaction over that decision by donald trump on tuesday in iran today well within minutes ten or fifteen minutes of trump's announcement that you know
2:06 pm
this is going on that you we heard from president hassan rouhani and this morning we've had a flurry of response from other senior leaders in iran just a day after the united states tore up the deal members of parliament in iran said the deal and the u.s. flag on fire symbolically protesting what they say was an unfair decision by the united states to pull out of a deal that iran was complying with a day or so earlier the same parliament had issued a message of support for the president we also heard from the commander of the iranian revolutionary guard corps saying that negotiating the deal in the first place was a mistake and gave. gave a sense of legitimacy to the united states as a negotiating partner that it has proven it is not these are seemingly deviating from the president's position of trying to save the deal because it doesn't rouhani has been criticized by hardliners in iran about negotiating the deal in the first
2:07 pm
place but we need to look at the recent comments by the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei who both said that if we are to stay in the deal which he doesn't think is likely europe has to step up and help iran gain benefit from the deal that the united states has taken away already also has some very harsh words there has to be noted. i was going to say can't you say that the can aspects do you think of this deal. be saved and what are we to make of the different reactions between the hardliners and the moderates. well i think i think i think the leaders in iran will look to the supreme leader to take their cues as far as he's concerned this agreement within the domestic politics is fine but when it comes to defending the country in terms of u.s. economic aggression or otherwise he hears pushing for a unified front and so he did say that you know to allay the fears of the iranian
2:08 pm
people that u.s. presidents are coming god in iran are still standing using very harsh words to address the speech made by president donald trump and as far as salvaging the deal really it is difficult to see what the moderates who negotiated rouhani and zarif and the current government in power it's difficult to see what they can get away from this at this point i think they very much are in damage control i think they do feel the need to go through the motions since they championed the deal and promoted the idea of dialogue over any conflict but just to give you a sense of the atmosphere here the supreme leader who is the head of the armed forces according to iran's constitution is using is using fighting words in the same way that the united states says of the president he said simply wait for president trying to die as other u.s. presidents have in the past and once the ensign snakes have eaten then iran will still be standing say many thanks sub-zero same describing there in tehran. loud explosions been heard over the saudi capital after the rebels say that they fired
