for the first time they're talking about settling they're talking about making an agreement and we bring our people back home if that happens we'll see what happens but they're in very serious negotiations for the first time there's a reason for that so i think we're going so well our foreign policy basij germany france and britain have launched a new payment system with iran which bypasses u.s. sanctions the move is aimed at saving me twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal that washington pulled out of last year that has to block the hustle from paris. it was on the sidelines of the european union foreign ministers meeting in bucharest that france britain and germany launched a new e.u. payment mechanism to allow european companies to continue trading with iran and bypass u.s. sanctions ministers hope the initiative will safeguard the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal and help ensure regional stability. and examined that we are making clear that we are not only talking about keeping the nuclear agreement live but we
