8:03 pm
a terrible move by the americans because the price of oil is already very high in these kinds of instability would actually move the price of oil even higher. also, we're in the middle of very sensitive nuclear negotiations between iran in the united states. and these kinds of moves by the americans would only complicate the talks even further and wearing all this likely to lead, then this kind of pit for tat action. while the biden administration, when they came into power, they were very clear that the so called maximum pressure campaign of the trumpet ministration was not worth keeping on the wrong. nevertheless, unfortunately, they have actually been following the same playbook line by line. and they have been pressuring you on as rob main, mainly made it clear just a few days ago to the u. s. congress. they haven't lifted any sanctions of the trumpet administration on iran, in this kind of behavior. i mean,

8:05 pm
behalf of the americans. and i think iran has been very clear that if other countries do this on behalf of the americans, then you would respond in kind of in the gulf, in the persian gulf as well. so i think like i said, this was expected and i think this is a warning to other countries. i think you want is very serious regarding the say live, it's like i said, the sale of iran whoa, is the lifeline to the country's economy. and it seems as a very serious security matter in this country and came on this as we get it out there 100 the saw, the political on this thank you for those insights. so police in the u. s. state of texas have been told that they made the wrong decision not to enter the classroom at the center of tuesdays, math shooting earlier. security officials have been addressing criticism of the police response, the killing at an elementary school in and evolving the gun when it was locked
