at the decision he tweeted the u.s. reason for designating me is that i am iran's primary spokesperson around the world is the truth really that painful it has no effect on me or my family as i have no property or interests outside of iran thank you for considering me such a huge threat to your agenda let's go live now to rosalind jordan in washington force so roslyn what is the administration's thinking behind this latest decision now against iran. well it's one more step in the u.s. is maximum pressure campaign against iran because the u.s. does not like iran's domestic or foreign policies in particular the us is very suspicious of iran promised to abide by the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal in which it is not supposed to be developing any nuclear weapons the u.s. is very suspicious of that the u.s.

has also had a very long running problem with iran's support of groups such as has flaws and hamas that support has made a iran in the eyes of the united states a state sponsor of terror the u.s. is also objecting to iran's human rights record and it says that in his role as foreign minister jobs ari has been going around the world trying to say that the iranian government is moderate that it is modernizing that it is welcoming of all peoples from all walks of life when instead it is being extremely repressive to ethnic and gender minorities and it is cutting down clamping down i should say on political dissent they basically say that in the u.s. is view it's a reef is nothing more than a propagandist and thus is subject now to financial and travel sanctions so if the u.s. is sincere in in its desire to to to to continue talking with iran to or to to to

get to talking with iran who they then deal with if if out of the picture. well all that u.s. officials would tell reporters on wednesday is that because they don't think that serif would be negotiating in good faith that they actually would be interested in sitting down without any preconditions with persons who actually have power within the iranian government but they wouldn't get more specific than that they basically say that this is a situation where because of the u.s. is concerned they actually need to be engaging with people whom they believe could actually make real change but they also indicate that they don't think that this is possible because they are continuing sanctions and they are continuing to look at other possible targets basically anyone who is working at the direct leadership at

the direct behest i should say of the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei rosalyn thank you. dosage bari has the reaction now from the iranian capital tehran. that certainly will be just another example the iranians will point to the fact that the united states doesn't really understand how the islamic republic system works the idea that they think by sanctioning that the foreign minister they will get to a more powerful person in the system to talk to is really absurd because the foreign minister is somebody who is a very very close to the highest authority in iran the supreme leader at the supreme there and self-titled company has expressed his satisfaction with how the foreign minister has conducted these negotiations over the nuclear dream and he's thanked the foreign ministry called or asked for. the idea that by bypassing

the race they will get to somebody harmful in the system that will they will be able to talk to is unheard of really it will never happen the iranians chose the foreign minister as the person to lead the negotiations to bleep the dialogue in the international community about it or not or to put it. back there are nuclear programs in order to open up the country's economy to the world and that is what was passed to the foreign minister. germany's who rejected a u.s. request to help patrol the strait of hormuz as the tensions with iran continue to mount more than a 5th of the world's oil passes through the area from mr heiko ma says germany once ovoid any further escalation in the gulf he warned there is no military solution to the tensions and the u.s. had cold on germany to join the u.k. and france in a mission to patrol the crucial shipping like nato secretary general yen

a trade deal in place and it's very clear that the end is the backstop that has caused all of the difficulties with the winter olympics and therefore that needs to be the subject of focus negotiation and therefore we will support. other parties say the backstop is essential to prevent a hard border they're worried what they call the prime minister's hardline strategy will backfire and see the u.k. leave the e.u. without a deal that in their view would inevitably lead to physical checks at the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and christian faith in the main nationalist party it could even mean a push for a referendum on uniting north and south we've made it clear to him that the extensive planning that he tells us he is carrying ios in respect of a potential crash ranks as hostile includes the constitutional question and the issue of a border poll here in ireland. sinn fein's ultimate aim is and always has been achieving a united ireland and a clear worn.
