agents got rid of the body of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi. one of the influence women voters are likely to have on the u.s. midterm elections and. as the leader of one of mexico's most dangerous cartels awaits trial of the u.s. will look at why as. business is still thriving. in less than twenty four hours the u.s. will reimpose one of its toughest sanctions on iran to date and the move is fueling anger in the capital paid on what protesters have been chanting down with the u.s. the demonstration was part of the ceremony to mark the thirty ninth anniversary of the takeover of the u.s. embassy in tehran shortly after the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution
7:08 pm
president donald trump announced he'd bring back sanctions lifted under the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with the truth from the agreement earlier this year iran's leaders have played down the u.s. move the commander of the revolutionary guard says head on will resist any sanctions well let's go to our correspondent zain bus driving now he's joining us live from the capital tehran you were at those protests earlier as a mocking you know that seminal moment in the country's history and coinciding with another important moment the very imposing of sanctions. absolutely the overrunning of the u.s. embassy in one nine hundred seventy nine few months after the revolution that brought this current government into power was was was a very big moment in history for this country and also for the world university students overtook the u.s. compound they took fifty two americans prisoner and sparked a four hundred forty four day hostage crisis and now that is the longest hostage
7:09 pm
crisis in recorded history so as you said a seminal moment in iran's history that the in the history of what was then a young islamic republic of iran but also a seminal moment in the relationship between the united states and america it led to decades of hostility between these two nations and this rally is an annual calendar event now this year the crowds were bigger than usual and felt like they were angrier than usual and that is likely because the anniversary coincides with the deadline for the really imposition of sanctions by the united states that were lifted as part of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal really imposed by the american president donald trump now what that means is that it just in a matter of hours iran will no longer be able to sell oil freely on the international market now we've spoken to many iranians who say that this deadline is largely meaningless because foreign investors have already pulled out the damage
7:10 pm
that donald trump wanted to do using economic pressure against iran that damage many iranian people who we spoke to said that damage has already been done. when you look past all the politics what becomes clear is that american sanctions iranian people more than they change iranian government policies american policy some would say trumps brinkmanship has meant economic chaos for iran the value of the iranian ryall has suffered a major fall in the last year adding to high inflation and unemployment concerns. all of this hurts low income and working people first and foremost they struggle to feed their families because prices for some basic goods have doubled. people's purchasing power has been reduced they talk about their problems. when a customer wants to buy something you can tell the situation some people used to come here to buy meat once a month now they come once every two months when it comes to iran u.s.
7:11 pm
presidents have pursued a policy of containment for decades trying to limit iranians economically militarily and politically in their regional and global affairs even the twenty fifteen nuclear deal that president barack obama championed that gave iran back some of its financial freedoms many iranians saw that is just a softer approach to the same containment policy but by turning back the clock on bilateral ties with iran what president donald trump has done is to show people here that during his administration there will be no blurred lines between friends and enemies but if trumpet hope pushing iranians towards poverty would inspire them to topple their own leaders he'll likely be disappointed previous protests never got big enough all he's apparently done is make people here miserable. do you think mr trump is a crazy man who made the situation in the region drastically worse his involvement in the region and sanctions have made the people hate him i really don't think that
7:12 pm
he's the one that should be the president of america. maybe good for his own people but not as he took office. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows how. everybody knew. when iran's leaders signed the nuclear deal they said it was the thing to fix everyone's financial problems three years later with american promises of more sanctions than ever before the best that people here can hope for is that iran can manage to sell. enough oil to survive until donald trump has left the white house in basra the old zero to one now since the islamic revolution the u.s. policy on iran has been that of containment successive presidents have been using sanctions as one of the ways to achieve it it started with jimmy carter after iranian protesters stormed the u.s. embassy in tehran and took american diplomats hostage in one thousand nine hundred
7:13 pm
for president ronald reagan designated iran a state sponsor of terrorism after two hundred forty one marines were killed in beirut in the one nine hundred ninety s. bill clinton banned all u.s. companies from doing business with iran the first significant pressure on iran directly related to its nuclear program came from george w. bush in two thousand and ten barack obama signed into law new sanctions he described as the toughest ever passed by congress a breakthrough was finally reached in twenty fifteen with the iran nuclear deal got earlier this year donald trump withdrew from that agreement leading to renewed u.s. sanctions well let's get more on this now are joined by hunted with savi professor of political science at the university of fed on and he's joining us live from the very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so as we've just gone through iran has of course weathered sanctions before nevertheless its economy has suffered just from the threat of sanctions this year so is it possible to say now just how
7:14 pm
detrimental these latest sanctions will be. well yes the sanctions have already had a very important effect i mean the reigning currency the rio has lost over seventy percent of the value in the past six months are nevertheless the past few days have had some good news for iran and that is that the united states had previously said that it was going to reduce your indian oil exports to zero by november fifth which is to morrow and now they are saying that they are actually going to give waivers to eighty countries so iran will still be able to export some oil how much oil nobody knows and will have to wait and see but it does provide a lifeline for the iranian economy nevertheless and how long can we expect that exemption to last especially given that it's believed that this exemption has been made because donald trump doesn't want the price of oil to go up before those u.s. midterm elections which will be over within
7:15 pm
a week. that's very true i mean the details of the waivers are still not out but it is predicted that the waivers will last perhaps one hundred eighty days so that will provide you with six more months at least to find a solution what the iranians are hoping for is not for the waivers to be really extended but they expect the europeans to come in and to provide a separate mechanism from the americans allowing you want to sell its oil but even perhaps more importantly for iran to be able to transfer the money for the oil sales back to iran in that is something that the europeans have promised iran six in six months ago when the top administration decided to leave and that was the reason that iran decided to stay in the deal and that is that special purpose vehicle that the european union calls to circumvent the u.s. financial system so that countries can buy oil from iran and keep doing business
7:16 pm
with iran we'll get to see that implemented but in the meantime what we have seen as major european companies pull out of the country so in the meantime is it still is the cost of doing business with iran still too high for the companies that really matter the big play is. right i mean the europeans a lot of the promises they made six months ago have not really materialized i mean as you pointed out major european companies such as oil giant to tar or car make europe asia have already left iran and iran is still waiting for the package and for the alternative to the swift system from the europeans in this is why there is a lot of criticism within iran especially from conservatives against the wrong on the government say that iran should also withdraw from the deal never the less the europeans are telling iran swades in this will come into effect in the coming weeks
7:17 pm
and months we'll have to wait and see to see how much the europeans will be able to defy u.s. sanctions less of a savvy thank you very much for your time on this that is how mad the savi live and pare down thank you. let's move on now to our other big story of the day and turkish media have been reporting more details on the sell the hit squad that murdered journalists just last month the southern newspaper says his body was dismembered and put into five suitcases these were then driven to the saudi consuls residence that's near the consulate where kushal was killed on a toy the second some of the fifteen member squad have close ties to saudi crown prince muhammad bin salam turkish president rajapaksa abed the one has said that he believes that wanted to kill kushal came from the highest levels of the saudi
7:18 pm
government let's go now to our correspondent who is following all the developments for us from istanbul to talk us through the new information that's been released today on sunday. was that his sources tell. basically one of the and all. shows and agitate station following the killing. where the key members of the death squad wore scrambling to get hold of his phone apparently they were looking for some information on the phone but i have to say also at the same time that a close friend to zero i did as the activist base in qatar there said right after the death of about that he's phone he was hacked and that he was told by. a university lab in canada his phone was hacked inside the arabia and he was
7:19 pm
concerned that his contacts were caught period and that some of his conversations including conversations was. could have been is dropped by the by the saudis and i think we see that out of this new pattern where we're getting the continuing leaks yesterday about the what happened of the body that was dismembered and then carried in five suitcases to the residence of the consul and today the new revelation about the mobile phone i have to say also that his fiance. that she handed over to personal phone. to the.
