mentioned china and russia several times a signal that iran intends to continue its pivot toward strategic economic partners to cope with yet more american economic pressure. and with the latest comments by the european foreign policy chief perhaps there is a reason for iranians to be optimistic. we in the european union. they don't. very much up to date. with this this is a legislation that has in place to protect european businesses from the effects of secondary sanctions of sanctions that the u.s. imposes outside of that mongering he says european countries are encouraging small and larger companies to increase business with and in iran saying a strong relationship with iran that helps to preserve the twenty fifteen nuclear deal is a security priority for europe while iranian see european policy as business friendly

with iran will not be doing business with the united states adding i'm asking for world peace nothing less ok mary how could joins us live from washington d.c. hi there kimberly so a broad message from trump there to the hinson national community on this. yeah indeed what the president is essential he saying is that these are some of the most biting sanctions ever will ratchet them up again and if you are doing business with iran we strongly caution you in the words of the national security advisor john bolton to find substitutes sources what we're really seeing here is a fracturing of the diplomatic and business communities internationally well there are certainly the e.u. leaders and even russia that are saying the way that agreement that the united states withdrew from that was negotiate between iran the united states other world powers to limit its nuclear program essentially saying that this works that even the united states has said iran has been compliant under that agreement but the

united states arguing it didn't go far enough that the profits that were made by iran as those sanctions were lifted did not funnel down to the ordinary to iranian but instead were funding the line activities as the united states likes to phrase it so what we're seeing is this fracturing of the business community pulling off continuing to sort of comply with the terms of these sanctions finding as the u.s. has put it substitutes sources well the the international community standing united in really at odds with the united states its top ally and what about this kimberly i'm thinking this is just america first in action i mean that was a campaign promise was in then. absolutely we heard donald trump saying on the campaign trail that the iran nuclear agreement was the worst deal ever that certainly this was a horrible one sided deal what the united states is trying to do is to really get

the leaders in tehran to the negotiating table much chili like we've seen in this maximum pressure campaign with north korea and while it has been somewhat effective the fruits will really be and whether or not there is denuclearization in north korea we see the same tactic being applied now whether or not it'll be successful certainly very different scenarios in terms of the leadership but again the united states playing the similar tactics hoping that this is can get tehran to talk to get a better deal it just doesn't have the international community supporting it can really have their life in washington d.c. kimberly thank you. well despite the u.s. threats the european union is encouraging member countries to continue doing business in iran any launch of companies including french energy producing and commonly found to renault have already suspended investment funds this david to fund that in chateau who some smaller businesses say they'll continue to tap into the iranian market the town of shot to ruin the valves the log dates back to the

hired two small company to. buy two one a good one loyal customer so we're exiting iran so we go on with small companies like this one won't appear on president trump sanctions radar but they believe the european commission won't be able to defend them they know they're taking a risk. it's a risk the big multinational companies in france denmark take companies such as total and purges citron have too much to lose the same applies right across the european union through a treat from doing business in iran could turn into a rout the ideal here is basically to suffocate the mean economy and to strangle its financial system so i'm not going to allow for anything that is going to enable iran to be able to enjoy a balloon of oxygen coming towards. back in the chateau rue the american flag is still flying above the bread factory called harry's
