a series of tweets trump urged omar and 3 other progressive democrats congress women to go back to their countries of origin. that stadium packed was a record crowd and i kind of felt attorney challenged as you know those are incredible people those are incredible patriots but i'm really happy what a congresswoman goes i'm going to be the president nightmare he's going to be president like. lucky to be away here let me tell you and the things that she has said are just grace to our country well drums comments continue to draw international condemnation. imagine if people were saying to me in britain send him back i know how i'd feel but i'd like to think most of society would think that's just completely unacceptable more than your liberal democracy to have that kind of situation and not be appalled. by it i want to make it clear that america's

maritime regulations another tank was talked to earlier but has since been released at the same time the u.s. and iran continue to square off in the region president donald trump says american forces shot down. on the iranian drone on thursday iran denies this and it has released footage it's this proof the drone returned safely to base all this us an iranian oil tanker remains in bonded in gibraltar a court there has now extended the detention for another 30 days we begin our coverage with particle hayne in washington d.c. . this british tanker and presumably its crew is now in iranian custody as announced on state t.v. . a british oil tanker called stana imperio was stopped while passing through the strait of hormuz because of failing to observe international maritime regulations at the request of ports and navigation authority of our most gun province the tanker was guided to the coast after being stopped and was handed over to the ports and navigation authority iran had 2 tankers one british lacked the other liberia

and we will respond in a way that is considerate robust and we are absolutely clear that if the situation is not resolved quickly it will be serious consequences iran later announced the liberian tanker had been warned and release news of the tankers being seized in iran broke shortly before u.s. president donald trump left the white house for his new jersey country club his reaction was muted there will be working with the u.k. they'll have a new prime ministers are which is a good thing and we'll be working with the u.k. but we have no written agreement but i think we have an agreement which is longstanding that was in contrast to his remarks just a few hours earlier where he showed his usual bravado we hope and that's a couldn't do anything for wish they do they will pay a price like nobody sympathetic place. this all comes as the 2 countries dispute in earlier incident in the strait of hormuz where the president insists the m.p.v.

ship the u.s.s. boxer was threatened by an iranian drone so they took it down in response iran released this drone video that it says proves their drone conducted surveillance and returned to base and now news of the tankers reportedly taken in iran likely a response to the british detaining an iranian tanker weeks earlier another clear escalation but the u.s. secretary of state is signaling a way out to get me and the president trying to make decision about how to proceed he's made clear it prepared to conduct negotiations with no preconditions he waives continue to say we'll talk but only if and only if the united states. that's something we need them to come to the table it's the right way to resolve these challenges iran says it will talk if you a sanctions are lifted 1st so for now the standoff continues. al-jazeera washington also in jordan joins us live from washington d.c. so we've heard comments there from washington how much of a concern is this situation for the u.s.

. well it is very much a concern for the u.s. government to via and that's because even though we heard both the president and the secretary of state say that the u.s. is still willing to negotiate without any preconditions with iran about its nuclear ambitions there is very much a concern that these tit for tat provocations could lead to an inadvertent military clash which is something that the trumpet ministration has repeatedly said it does not want but that said it has increased the number of u.s. forces in the region in recent weeks it has made certain that a 2nd aircraft carrier is closer to the region than it would have been otherwise all in an effort to send a message to tell han that the u.s. is not going to sit by while it watches iran try to extend its political and economic influence around the middle east the u.s.

has repeatedly characterize this as malign behavior as the u.s. puts it because it's not just about extending its political influence it's about supporting groups such as has been law such as. the fighters in yemen such as hamas in gaza this is a situation that is very much of concern but the u.s. is trying to seeing if there's a way to find a diplomatic off ramp indeed iran has said that all these all these moves are due to the fact that the u.s. has imposed more sanctions pulled out of that 2015 year clear deal any indication why the u.s. that the u.s. might reconsider. the u.s. has said unless iran changes its behavior there will be no rolling back of the sanctions which have been reimposed since the trumpet ministration pulled out of the iran nuclear deal last year and the u.s. has fact not only has reimposed the sanctions that have been lifted once the deal

was signed back in 2015 but it has in that time imposed more sanctions both travel bans as well as economic sanctions on not just iranian persons and iranian officials they i.r.g.c. in fact but it's also imposed similar sanctions on persons and businesses and other countries thought to be assisting the iranian government and what the u.s. considers uncivil and perhaps illegal behavior we saw a new set of sanctions just on thursday aimed at 7 companies and 3 people who supposedly were helping iran obtain a nuclear material for its enrichment program so that part of what the u.s. calls its maximum pressure campaign has not abated by any stretch of the imagination and that's the view from washington thank you roslyn jordan. as you heard earlier terror on has defended its seizure of the vessel which had

been transferred to iranian ports. has more on the reaction from terror. while this seizure apparently took place earlier on friday and there were a few events that led to the reign of revolutionary guard seizing this british vessel 1st the local officials in harmless gone province south of the country said that this vessel hit came in contact with a small fishing boat and that is when they tried to contact it and a few attempts were made but no response was received by the iranians and that's when the officials called the revolutionary guards to the scene and that's when the revolutionary guards said that the vessel was in a number of violations 1st that it was going in the wrong maritime direction 2nd that it had turned off all its tracking in g.p.s. devices and 3rd it was not responding to any of the warnings that was being issued that is when they decided to seize the tanker and it is now sitting in the port

city of. 23 crew members on board. mark kimmitt is a retired u.s. army brigadier general and he says there may be divisions within iran on how to proceed. this doesn't seem to make a lot of sense unless you take a look at perhaps the split inside the government right now between the i.r.g.c. between the revolutionary guards and the conventional government i mean you have mohamed zarif the foreign minister in new york right now trying to come up with some new deal to lift the sanctions but at the same time the revolutionary guard corps is seizing british tankers and creating other concerns in the strait of hormuz so i'm really wondering what's going on here if this is calculated on the part of the iranian government or just confusion but i think what we're seeing is a precursor to diplomacy i know that sounds odd but as you can hear from secretary

of state my pump aoe today he is still reaching out to the iranians saying let's sit down and negotiate i think we're fairly close to that i think the major danger however is that there is a misstep or a miscalculation or an accident in all this give and take that we're seeing in the region right now that may be unnecessarily provocative and cause us to go in a direction we don't want to go but it's clear the iranians need those negotiations they are being heard significantly by the sanctions so the sooner we get away from the military actions and into diplomacy at the better i think the situation is going to be. moving on to some other news now turkey says it's warplanes and drones have hit multiple targets in the kurdish region of northern iraq their strikes were in response to the murder of one of its diplomats on wednesday gunmen shot and killed turkey's deputy consul general and 2 other people the tussock on am has more
