and. the south. t.w. zyklon in course. made it easy. this is. a campaign promise kept a move that tried to prevent you as president pulls the united states out of the iran 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. stated economic sanctions against iran with a veiled warning there will be consequences for countries doing business with. european countries they are committed to keeping the deal going despite the u.s. is withdraw all but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu he is welcoming trump's move he calls it a bold decision we'll have reaction and analysis of what the u.s. is historic withdrawal means for the world new starts right now. good to have you with us tonight a game changer in the middle east and perhaps beyond u.s. president donald trump has told the united states out of the iran nuclear deal he

has also signed a memorandum reinstating sanctions against iran after calling the deal. quote a horrible one sided deal that did not bring peace and never will trump had previously resisted lobbying from the other european countries who signed the deal they insisted that it had to be changed in some form but they didn't want it to be killed i want you to listen now to what the u.s. president had to say just a couple of hours ago. over the past few months we have engaged extensively with our allies and partners around the world including france germany and the united kingdom we have also consulted with our friends from across the middle east we are unified in our understanding of the threat and in our conviction that iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon after these consultations it is clear to me that we

cannot prevent an iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement the iran deal is defective at its core if we do nothing we know exactly what will happen 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. are we have team coverage of this story deny our correspondent clear richardson is in washington and our very own parent rigger is in brussels to both of you good evening clare let me start with you in washington what happens next

will sanction be reintroduced immediately. but we've seen the treasury department say that it's going to be over the course of a period of eighty days and a hundred and scares me ninety days in one hundred eighty days of a wind down period as part of reinstating these sanctions now there was some talk that this might happen that they would not go into effect immediately as a way for the u.s. government to try in a last ditch effort to bring iran to the negotiating table to buy some time but they have course have said that they are not interested in renegotiating the deal and this is truly a monumental moment in the united states foreign policy and possibly the biggest foreign policy decision of trump's administration to date let's take a listen to more of what the u.s. president had to say today in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating u.s. nuclear sanctions on the uranium regime we will be instituting

the highest level of economic sanction any nation that helps saran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned by the united states america will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail. barons is what we just heard is that they build threat aimed at europe and european companies that are doing business in iran. the guy is very thin this is perceived as a direct threat here in brussels a threat to companies that are doing business didn't iran after the sanctions were lifted in two thousand and fifteen and the immediate response from the u. chief diplomat for every marine who was to show that any economic interest of these companies will be protected by the e.u. can that mean counter sanctions against the us we don't know this might still be

down the road but it is an option but firstly the will enter into negotiations with the us i assume the european union foreign policy frederica marie nishi reacted to drugs announcement a short while ago let's have a listen you know the in the union will remain committed to the continued and effective implementation of the nuclear deal we fully trust the work the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that's published that reports certify that it on has fully complied with its commitments. the lifting of milk levitated sanctions is an essential part of the agreement. the european union has repeatedly stressed that the lifting of nuclear related sentients has a positive impact not only on trade and economic relations with iran but also on mainly crucial benefits what the iranian people the european union is fully

committed to ensuring that this continuous to be that it on our that's the e.u.'s position the iranian president hassan rouhani has also responded about an hour ago saying quote and i'm quoting here if we achieve the deals goals in cooperation with other members of the deal it will remain in place quite exiting the deal america has officially underlined its commitment to an international treaty. all right there's a surprising words there bear because we know that iran so i had a completely different story you know just twenty four hours ago how would this deal work without the u.s. if the european partners russia china and iran stick to. but in theory it could work because the united states is only one party to this deal if the others continue then the deal both live but in practical terms it's

very difficult because the u.s. is of course one of the key players in the middle east a guarantor of many things in the middle east is also one of the five. permanent members of the u.n. security council which is also a government or this dia and the u.n. is also organizing the inspections in iran so the u.s. will be involved and berlin london and paris also urged mr trump tonight to stick to this implementation mechanism and not to risk draw from that and it can be done but it is politically very very difficult and clear if indeed iran does stay in the deal trump is finding himself more isolated than ever so with the meeting with north korean leader kim jong un coming up has the u.s. now doesn't have to face the fact that it has a weaker hand. well it certainly sends

a signal to those watching about the united states' commitment to agreements that signs on to when it comes to nuclear weapons we heard in a surprise announcement during trump's speech that you might pay zero is going to north korea to figure out the details of a possible upcoming summit between the north korean leader kim jong un and donald trump this would of course be a historic meeting that has never taken place before with a sitting u.s. president but they're going to be looking at trump's announcement today perhaps with some trepidation saying that an agreement that the united states signed on to a multilateral agreements that it put pen to paper on in two thousand and fifteen is now it is now pulling away from that's could send the message that it is not acting in good faith when it negotiates on matters on nuclear issues that's a very good point we know that there was already a similar nuclear deal with north korea that was negotiated under president clinton then president bush renewed on that so we've been here before when it comes to

changing our minds about deals that we have signed but clear you know you heard what brant was saying in brussels they see this announcement today as also with threat from the u.s. president. kiran that you imagine the u.s. threatening europe threatening germany france or the u.k. with economic sanctions in order to ko worse those countries to forward through and support it with this decision on the real. well this is certainly a huge blow to the united states european allies remember we saw last month that german chancellor angela merkel was in d.c. and so was french president and pleading with trump not to remove the united states from this deal now also very surprisingly in trump's announcement he didn't just say that they would pull out of the iran deal but also said that any nation that helps iran. in its quest for nuclear weapons could be strongly sanctioned by the united states it's going to be interesting to see what they mean exactly by that

what they consider helping iran so in terms of whether it actually would be willing to turn on its good allies in the european union i think we will find out in the coming months but certainly the europeans did not have a win in the way that they hoped in trying to convince triumph that the deal was worth preserving or corresponding clear richardson on the story for us in washington bear on the story for us in brussels tonight to both of you thank you israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is an outspoken opponents of the iran nuclear deal that's been surprised that he has been one of the first world leaders to react to trump's announcement here's part of what he had to say israel fully supports president probes bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear do with the resume into iran israel is opposed to the nuclear deal from the start because we said that rather than blocking the wrong spread through a bomb the deal actually reprieves your arms to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs

and this within a few years time the removal of sanctions or the do has already produced disastrous results the deal didn't push war further where it actually brought it closer to the deal didn't reduce iran's aggression it dramatically increased. all right let's pull in our very own tanya kramer she's on the story for us in jerusalem tonight it's very late there tanya we know that news has been breaking now of a possible an imminent we heard an imminent attack of some sort by iranian forces in syria what more can you tell us. well there has been a statement coming out by the israeli army just shortly before the president went on and and saying given the instructions to open the public shelters in the

occupied golan heights and we also understand that at decision a defense systems have been deployed and have very limited number of. special forces have been called up it's not a general. have to stress so what we understand over the past day is a ready to have been a lot of speculations in the media off an imminent attack and in fact the israeli army has been on high alert over the past couple weeks because they believe that is that iran wants to retaliate possibly to an alleged israeli strike in syria that's happened in april on the so-called t full base which had killed seven even a new military advisors and there's been a lot of threats have been exchanged between the two countries and you ron has blamed israel for that strike in tanya the big irony seems to a lot of people watching this story is that just a week ago yahoo gave this power point presentation about the iranian threat saying

that the deal needed to be killed in order to prevent a military conflict and now the deal is being killed or has been withdrawn from by the u.s. and we're talking about a possible attack in israel so i mean how do you make sense of that like those are those are two ideas that contradict each other. well i mean what you can say is that at least from the point of view from israel that tensions have been gradually built up over the past couple of months because israel has set its very own a red line when it comes to iran and specially the ukrainian presence in neighboring syria this is what this is all about. israel has saying but it has been saying very clearly that it won't allow iran to build up its military capabilities in syria so because then it would be edging closer to its own borders now with

every as strike in syria that is claimed or attribute it to israel and the military you never was never confirmed and he of its activities in syria and the two countries seems to edge some time as a country to a confrontation so i know we're going to have to read about there were but we've been out of time talking to kramer in jerusalem thank you and you were up to date with the w. news more news at the top of the hour. how the germans came together in one nation from shall the minute to chancellor all too often dismissed. the history of the germans has been shaped by great rulers. nice well formed ways to bring my wild card to massey's tech christendom spread.
