metals and then at the start of november more sanctions will kick in bailing clude measures specifically targeting the oil sector foreign banks that do business with iran will be targeted too kimberly hallock a reports from washington. the united states says iran is a threat and it wants to punish the country's government by isolating it from the global financial system starting tuesday u.s. sanctions will be reimposed to target a range of sectors blocking iran from purchasing u.s. banknotes and trading in gold in metal like aluminum steel it will also limit iran's access to software and automotive sectors will blocking its ability to purchase commercial aircraft or trade in food and other goods this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made the snapback sanctions are part. of a promise made by u.s. president donald trump when he withdrew the united states in may from the twenty

fifteen agreement known as the j c p o a close u.s. allies like france's president emmanuel mccraw and germany's chancellor angela merkel remain committed to the agreement aimed at limiting tehran's nuclear program but the u.s. argues it didn't work as it didn't go far enough. the u.s. also argues the profits made from the lifting of sanctions is being used to purchase and export weapons in places like syria lebanon and gaza to support proxy militias and the state financing of terrorism the sanctions come as protests continue in iran against deteriorating economic conditions but the united states denies the sanctions are timed to force regime change instead it says it hopes to modify the iranian government's behavior despite longstanding u.s. policy of no formal diplomatic relations with iran president donald trump has even

indicated he's willing to sit down for talks with iran's leaders no preconditions no they want to meet anytime they want heightening tensions top european foreign policy chiefs are implementing something called a blocking statute to protect e.u. firms still intent on doing business with iran in spite of the u.s. sanctions prompting this stern warning from a senior republican senator. under these sanctions you have to pick between the american economy in the iranian economy you can no longer do business with choose wisely this nap back sanctions are also just the beginning in ninety days and now there are round of even more punishing sanctions targeting iran's massive oil industry will come in to a fact can really help get al-jazeera the white house or mike hanna joins us now

live from washington d.c. so mike the domestic political situation quite polarized in the u.s. how is this issue playing out there well it certainly is polarized as it has been throughout the times the trump administration and in fact before and predictably the division is along partisan lines among members of congress republicans largely support president transaction they were deeply unhappy with the nuclear deal in the first place back in twenty fifteen when there was a democratic controlled house however they now back president trump in what he's doing not so the democrats they have expressed deep concern about to president transaction in terms of reneging on that two thousand and fifteen deal in particular many argue that he has created a conflict where there was in the past resolution implying that by taking this action president trump is bringing back the possibility of iranian nuclear development into the international arena something that they contend the twenty

fifteen agreement had removed. is there much domestic concern about the u.s. feeling some diplomatic isolation though over this. yes that is also something that one is hearing from the democrats in particular this is the latest in a series of decisions to pull out of international organizations but importantly for this twenty fifteen agreement that was done with traditional allies with germany france the european union these are bodies who have traditionally been very strong and very close to the united states by walking away from this deal many critics of president trump contend he is further isolating the united states at a time when it doesn't need isolation he's further alienating allies who have been strong in the past allies such as i mentioned germany the united kingdom european union france so certainly there is a great deal of concern among president trump's critics in particular that what we

are seeing here is a process of increasing isolation of the u.s. from the international arena so what these critics contend is that the decision to walk away from the nuclear deal along with the decision to walk away from other international agreements that president trump has decided to do is creating problems future problems for the united states both politically as well as economically or on my account there from washington d.c. when iran is putting on a brave face president hassan rouhani says he can rely on russia and china to help the oil and banking sectors he has more from to her on. if you were to construct a word cloud of president house and rouhani these comments then the word china would no doubt appear as one of the most prominent the iranian leader repeated the name of this important strategic economic ally in the region several times no doubt an indication that iran intends on relying on its relationship with china more and

more as it continues to face american sanctions and economic pressure in weeks and months to come president hassan rouhani also address the idea of new negotiations with the united states with the with the administration of u.s. president donald trump the person who was abandoned because the asians is trump and his government and he is doing something which is against the iranian people against the interests of iran. is there was honesty iran would come to. the u.s. sanctions contradict any intention to negotiate how can we be honest about wanting to negotiate if you are putting sanctions against children and sick people. in terms of practical steps that the iranian government intends to take to combat ongoing american economic pressure dealing with china and russia as trade partners as economic allies as one thing he also applauded the european union for issuing

blocking regulations to help resist the pressure of ongoing american sanctions against iran he thanked people for their ongoing patience with regards to their financial hardship and he said that things were going to get better but effectively asked frustrated iranian people many of whom who have been taking to the streets in protest for a little more time to help course correct the country's economy. saudi arabia state airline is suspending flights to and from toronto in an intensifying diplomatic row with canada on monday riyadh froze new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador the move was in retaliation for countless call to free saudi civil society activists have been arrested the saudis accuse the canadian government of interfering in their affairs. the canadian foreign minister is refusing to back down we will always speak up for human rights we will always speak

a repressive. you know authoritarian regime and they're a bit surprised to see the saudis. getting angry at them and not only that they're a bit surprised to see this twitter campaign which is taking aim at some of canada's. troubled human rights record especially when it concerns the treatment of indigenous people. ethiopia's federal government has taken over the administration of the eastern somali region to restore law and order the regional president resigned and agreed to hand over power after fifty people were killed in the regional capital jigger on saturday the violence began after the government deployed troops sparking tension with local paramilitary forces i'm a dad has more from the neighboring djibouti. the ethiopian federal government say that can these rare step to issue a security is brought back to the somali region a statement from the prime minister's office hinted at the local administration.
