they will never come back to those places israel seventy years may twelfth on t.w. broadcast times online. this is d w news live from berlin a campaign promise kept a move that europe trying to prevent us president pulls the united states out of the iran's nuclear deal. in just a short period of time the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons. therefore

i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. with reinstated economic sanctions against iran with a veiled warning that there will be consequences for countries doing business with tehran we'll have analysis of what this historic withdrawal means for the war you news begins right now. i'm off it's good to have you with us tonight a game changer in the middle east and perhaps beyond u.s. president donald trump has pulled the u.s. out of the iran's nuclear deal trump signed a presidential memorandum reinstating economic sanctions against iran after calling the accord quote a horrible one sided deal. that did not bring peace and never will in an address

before signing truck called iran the leading state sponsor of terror. trumpet previously resisted lobbying by the seven other signatories to the deal insisting that it had to be changed to keep the u.s. on board let's listen now into part of what the u.s. president had to say about an hour ago at the heart of the iran deal was a giant fiction that a murder's regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program today we have definitive proof that this arabian promise was a lie our rights to delve deeper into this i am joined here at the big table by marcus kahn for analysis good to see you mr stein and claire richardson she joins us in washington claire let me start with you so what

are the biggest takeaway today from president rob what would you say that takeaway is. well this is a truly a momentous moment in u.s. foreign policy history we heard donald trump reiterate a lot of his concerns about the iran nuclear deal that he had expressed beforehand remember it was one of his key campaign promises that he was going to pull the united states out of what he saw as a poorly negotiated a bad deal for the united states now of course that goes completely counter to what the united states european allies wanted to see we've seen weeks of lobbying by both chancellor merkel and french president and the new immigrants here in washington d.c. to try to convince him otherwise but he came out strongly today pointing to some of these issues that we've heard about before reiterating that he thinks that the deal is too weak that it doesn't address things like what he calls sunset clauses that allow some restrictions to expire after a number of years that it doesn't address iran's role in supporting sectarian violence in the region in places like yemen and syria and that it doesn't seriously

address iran's ballistic missile program so the deals the supporters have said it would have been easier to address some of those concerns if the united states had remained in the deal that they see as the best way to stop iran from developing a nuclear weapon and their after being in a much stronger negotiating position but donald trump has always been vehemently against it and we saw that play out again today marcus can't want to answer the critics of this decision have said that this puts the u.s. and israel on a direct collision course military collision course with iran is that it's want mr trump is just put into place least into movement i'm not sure if it's a direct military or military confrontational course but i think at the end of the day garwood be affects the standing of the united states and the reliable policy and international. agreements and they have been put in place into a cult board so far and has its limits which are well known to everybody who has

subscribed to this agreement but no more than the united states appears to be one of those. andres who should pick and choose what i would want in international and neglecting any way any accomplishment would have been codify had any remains and what about the united states basically standing with israel the alone in the world what can the united states do to go worse europe into supporting this decision to mean is there does it have any you know any weapon or any any method of getting germany france and the u.k. to stand behind it i mean it's a good point you make it's not a bilateral agreement so if the united states withdraws from the agreement as announced today and there are a couple of other parties who remain or have announced to i remain within the dream and i think it was hidden in the speech by president from that he's determined to affect the europeans as well when you know it's already indicated that everybody was doing business with iran will be affected by secondary sanctions and i think

a lot of european banks german bangs european companies will be very hesitant to get to do to do business in iran because they are concerned that there might be affected by u.s. action is that a big factor for germany i mean if you look at just german businesses that want that have gone into iran since this deal was put into place and that want to move in i mean it's where it's a sizable amount of money an amount of investment that we're talking about uncle americal she's going to have to basically defend her position but at the same time make it isn't she going to have to make a decision do we allow our businesses to stay there or do we face economic sanctions from the u.s. so little i mean the term companies have been have remained a little bit hesitant to get involved by the in their own because of the. prospect of sanctions from the united states but i think the damage political damage is the voice guinea imagine that and that the united states is targeting european

companies sanctions you're usually thank you blood to countries. authoritarian rules took there in turn turn turn around and list guilty of genocide or terrible things but they are faking german companies french companies british companies and i think i mean it is it is something we've never seen before and we just saw over the ticker here that mr bolton the national security adviser for the u.s. president has already said that european companies will have to get out of iran so there is some type of timetable that was implied today we're getting reaction from the european union now i think we've got a sound bite show that let's listen right now to federica. the european union will remain committed to the continued and effective implementation of the nuclear . we fully trust the water the competence and the autonomy of the international

atomic energy agency that's published reports certifying that it on has fully complied with its commitments the lifting of nuclear related sanctions is an essential part of the agreements the european union has repeatedly stressed that the lifting of nuclear related sanctions has a positive impact on trades and economic relations with iran but also on mainly crucial benefits for the iranian people. the european union is fully committed to ensuring that this continues to be that. mr khan before we go to washington to ask you there really is a requires us to have a leap of faith doesn't it because not only is the u.s. withdrawing but iran has said that if the u.s. violates the deal then the deal is dead so what deal is there for the europeans to adhere to and that's the biggest question i mean at the end of the day remains the

europeans the chinese and the russians and the united states and iran having left the table which is just that was it was basically wasn't the centerpiece i mean it was an international agreement but i think everybody knew fred from the beginning it was about reconciling the united states and iran not totally we're not talking about the fullest eversmann those diplomatic relations but in the specific policy feared it was some kind of symbol of reconciliation and now with both countries withdrawing a full bit reasons and for good reason soulful bad or good reasons i think being in the u.s. about to fail yeah and what does this mean for the u.s. moving forward clearly the polls that came out earlier today showed a strong majority of americans were in favor of staying in the deal but we also had a strong a large number of americans who said simply they didn't know enough about the deal to have an opinion but it looks like the u.s. has made a decision they goes against the will of the american people will there be consequences

for him politically. well that's right the polling numbers showed that most americans did not have a strong understanding of what the deal entails but nonetheless it did show that most people were not in favor of the way donald trump was handling the situation with iran and remained in favor of staying in the deal so although his move today goes against those numbers this is going to play it really well with his base it's one of the things he promised from the very beginning during his campaign that he was going to withdraw from the deal and now he stood up there today and said look i've kept my promise another thing that really stood out to me today was this question of the united states credibility abroad and how this move could affect it we also heard surprisingly in this speech donald trump to say that the new secretary of state might pump aoe is on his way to north korea try and set the stage for a possible summit between the leader kim jong un and donald trump which would be a historic and unprecedented meeting before it's mean a sitting u.s.

president and north korean leader and the question there is also how they would view the united states decision to withdraw from a previously agreed multilateral nuclear agreement countries around the world are going to be looking at this moment and seeing that the united states is not necessarily good for its words in two thousand and eighteen for an agreement that it signed back in two thousand and fifteen and it's going to be a question of whether this is going to affect efforts to achieve denuclearization on the korean peninsula all right so that a point there mr connor as you were just getting a report from iran that iran is now saying that it wants to keep the deal now that goes against everything that we've been hearing up until today. if this is the case does that then string to the position of the europeans. i would wait a little while because i mean the the deal is contested very cool hardly in iran

itself between hardliners and those who wants to reach out to the international community and so far the second group has had the majority of the superiority but i would be surprised if in the next days or weeks the hardliners will point to the united states and to the to be united states and say publicly we told you so we can't rely on the united states in the end it's not a credible like that anymore and the only the only way we can go forward to secure a survival as a political regime is to increase in richmond of uranium and to because you don't know the path but again we are getting reaction now from israel i think we have a statement from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu let's take a listen to that. fully supports president rove's bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with a terrorist regime in tehran israel is opposed the nuclear deal from the start

because we said that rather than blocking iran's path to a bomb the deal actually paves the wrong path to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs and this within a few years time the removal of sanctions under the deal has already produced disastrous results the deal didn't push war further away it actually brought it closer to the deal didn't reduce iran's aggression dramatically increased. ok benjamin netanyahu they're saying that the deal make it more likely that there would be military conflict but what we're getting now are reports that israel expects some type of retaliation against it by iran. the syria and that near the go on heights is where they expect some type of attack to occur if that's the case then this decision that was made today has accelerated

the path to a military conflict as an absolutely and there would be surprised if we see some kind of. militia take for example the two thousand u.s. soldiers being still deployed just into an open syria which are pretty vulnerable and i think it won't be in the official tank iranians but there's been some kind of militia. tank or whatever so i think one way or the other in the ranks will retaliate although it might affect the free flow through the street of homos all the different ways to to make things difficult do you think that iran would make follow through on a threat like that to close the strait of hormuz difficult to say but the other point i want to make is in. iran has leverage in different ways and i think for the foreseeable future we should expect they have been particularly the hardliners in their run to retaliate ok markers geim as always we appreciate your insights here
