9:02 am
out of the iran nuclear deal now the top parliamentarian said tehran no longer has any obligation to honor that agreement france says there's a real risk of confrontation in the region and as announced that european signatories will be meeting with a rainy and representatives next week discuss the new situation now along with leaving the deal president trump signed a memorandum reinstating u.s. sanctions against around. the world watched as donald trump scrapped a deal that took over a decade to achieve. service it is clear to me that we cannot prevent an iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal.
9:03 am
chom signed a memorandum to reinstate harsh economic sanctions on iran most notably in the oil and energy sectors. oh efforts by european allies to dissuade him had been in vain the european union's foreign policy chief it did he come again he couldn't hide her regret as she urged for unity the european union will remain committed to the continued and effective implementation of the nuclear. we fully trust the war the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that has published reports certify that iran has fully complied with its commitments. even if europe remains many fear that trumps mover will prompt a backlash by iran. president hassan rouhani said his country might resume nuclear activities if india without the u.s.
9:04 am
will not guarantee its interests. or golf team old. to not we've witnessed an important historical experience kish that you have what we've been saying and repeating for the pos forty years has now happened once more iran is a country that is low to its commitments and the united states is a country that has never stuck to its commitments to hold. us back in washington donald trump said he wants to work with the u.s. allies to find what he called a real solution to the iranian nuclear threat but his decision has left many of those allies facing uncertainty as they try to avoid an escalation that's hardly in anybody's interests. ok let's get more on this story now with the correspondent there in brussels and eric randolph in tehran good morning to both of you eric if we could start with you there are reports of iranian members of parliament burning
9:05 am
an american flag in response to this news that sounds a lot like a return to the bad old days of us reign in relations what do you make of it. oh the writing officials like to do things like burning american flags and they love to death to america chant nazi because they know how much it riles up the americans and washington and it. is pretty standard fare. but there is a very sharp this division of the moment between everybody condemns trump's moves but what the response should be whether they should abandon their quote entire show results. or whether they should try to salvage what they can there's not a lot of faith that the europeans have despite the european statements that they want to stay in the do it that they can resist washington pressure ok let's go to go now in brussels europe has been trying to hold this deal together it couldn't convince the president not to bail out what's the plan now from the e.u.
9:06 am
has really gone into damage control mode here the french foreign minister this morning made clear again that the deal for him is not a debt and that the french president will talk to his counterpart rouhani today that on monday foreign ministers from france from germany from the u.k. will meet with iranian representatives to find out how to move forward the objective at the moment really being that iranian radical forces are prevented from exploiting the situations and that the cost of diplomacy that this store remains open in iran. erica what about this development in terms of a dangerous escalation in this region is very volatile what are people saying around about that. in terms of the region there's not much discussion on that it's a slightly you subject iran at the moment is trying the trend line between wanting
9:07 am
to show the result of also wanting to try and maintain the agreement as much as possible so it doesn't want to make any direct threats it doesn't want to play into the israeli hands by saying that it will attack israel will cause trouble in other parts of the region. rather shtum on the topic of the bundle but certainly it has the potential and the influence across the middle east to cause trouble for western interests in the americans ok israel's very concerned about that what about tehran reportedly building up its military forces on the border till the israel in terms of its forces like the rain in darts well that's certainly been israel's concern as the syrian conflict evolves that iran which has built up considerable influence on forces in syria can now turn those forces against
9:08 am
iran has always maintained that whilst it does want to resist israel and it doesn't recognize israel's right to exist that it is not interested in a direct military attack that it simply wants to support the palestinians in whatever they decide that's been the line that they've stuck to you throughout and i think we'll see them maintaining that position at least in the short term while they try to salvage what they kind of the new could do it how would europe respond should iran as it has threatened start resuming work to become a nuclear power. at the moment the position of brussels is as long as iran sticks to the deal so will the e.u. and there's no reason to believe from the european side with the european tom international atomic energy agency basically having certified ten times now that iran is in full compliance with its obligations that this
9:09 am
is a scenario but but let's be clear the european position is even if they are nice even if there is or has been much misconduct the only way forward is to keep diplomatic channels open and not go down the road of isolation and further sanctions but to keep diplomatic channels open and for that the iran deal is a key objective. eric let's talk about the people of iran right now how would they re imposition of sanctions on iran affect the everyday people of iran well there's already an economic crisis happening in this country we've seen the currency lose a third of its value in the last six months a lot of wealth uranium is a living their cash out of the country as a patient of the truck decision and we were already had serious problems of joblessness. and mismanagement and many costs. the nuclear
9:10 am
deal had not really brought many of the benefits that president rouhani had promised. last is not going to have a huge impact in some senses but it will just further reduce the confidence people have been here on the me and that's going to bite specially if we see prices starting to rise so much drug protests just a few months ago. and could do so again. ok you know it's not just iranian business interests at stake european businesses are under threat as well the u.s. ambassador richard grinnell said that german companies quote doing business in iran should wind down their operations immediately is that a direct threat from the u.s. aimed at europe certainly quite a statement there in germany look it is a substantial threat of course because it could take things from from bad to worse it's already bad enough from the european perspective here that the all the key
9:11 am
efforts all the diplomatic efforts of the e.u. all of member states of the e.u. off of two security council members into it convinced the u.s. that dropping this deal is the wrong option has let's do nothing but it would be much worse if we imagine a scenario where a counter sanctions are put in place against a key european allies from the u.s. so clearly it's a threat that creates big concerns here in europe because a lot of concerns out there this morning garrick montas in brussels and eric randolph in tehran thanks very much israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been an outspoken opponent of the iran nuclear deal for years and he's been one of the first world leaders to come out in strong support of the announcement from washington. fully supports president trump's bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear do with the resume into iran
9:12 am
israel is opposed the nuclear deal from the start because we said the rather than blocking the iran's birth to a bomb the deal actually peeves your own to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs and this within a few years time. ok for more from jerusalem let's bring in tanya cramer our correspondent there tom and we heard netanyahu restating his commitment there to making sure iran never has nuclear weapons what's his roadmap for getting there is he happy to simply follow the american lead on this. well i mean this is of course seen here as a victory for netanyahu he has been lobbying for this and you could also say that actually the u.s. is falling here at the leader of israel mr netanyahu had given disparate dramatic presentation just a week ago where he presented what he called yvonne nuclear archives that certainly
9:13 am
intelligence had to retreat from iran saying that iran had tonight about his nuclear weapons program and also that the whole deal was faced on law it's now he this was referenced also in the speech of mr trump last night now what the israelis once it's seen is that the house that very harsh sanctions are kicking in that would harm vons economy because if israel is very much concerned about the growing influence of iran in the region mainly when it comes to building up its. military capabilities in neighboring syria other than that we haven't really heard any plan b. or any kind of reference to any new mechanism that the israelis want to see put in place here ok no talk here just shortly after trump's announcement there was a missile attack on syria which damascus is blaming on israel syrian state run
9:14 am
media saying israel struck a military outpost south of the capital damascus at least nine pro-government fighters were reportedly killed syrian opposition forces say the rockets hit weapons storage sites and missile launchers believed to belong to iran's revolutionary guards tanya what can you tell us about these strikes. well there has been no confirmation from israel on that strike that is a use of procedure here is that never comments on mostly never comments on its activities in syria but you can say this has been a period of heightened. henson's and shortly before that strike actually the israeli army had given its instructions to people in the occupied golan heights that depicts how to sit be open because they were seeing what they called an usually activities and syria for weeks now israel has been fearing that
9:15 am
iran might retaliate for some of its alleged as strikes in syria in a post so the tensions here are very high at the moment and this is all related to the concern of israel that yvonne is building up its military capabilities in syria which would bring them very very close borders ok with that in mind just how concerned is the israeli defense establishment and right now about in a rainy and reprisal attack. well there is very much concern we've been hearing that for the past days then that in the tuc might be imminent and that's why you see in this unusual step of ordering that the public shelters in on the israeli controlled part of the golan heights would be should be opened so what we're seeing is a constant you know a build up of tensions on the north and borders so far tony kramer with the latest
9:16 am
for us from jerusalem tanya thanks very much. it's over the market now one intention of the reimposing of sanctions on iran is of course to damage that country's economy and that will have a knock on effect on all of its business partners including germany certainly a lot here in europe brian european business leaders are ready to say that they regret washington's decision to pull the u.s. out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear agreement and they look to the e.u. for a please signal about its continued commitment to that deal german companies for one had great hopes for the opening off the iranian markets after the lifting of economic sanctions under the agreement but according to japanese industry association these hopes have now clearly. from the german state of saxony to iran that's me child pronto stream his company photo in my snow technologies produces components for railway tracks and trains nine months ago
9:17 am
a delegation from iran came to visit to see if they could feasibly do business. if . iran is a country with a lot of prospects for the railway industry similar to turkey or russia because in the near future they will need new infrastructure networks including railways. that's why we're very focused on breaking into the iranian market because. the nuclear treaty in two thousand and fifteen opened doors german business began work straight away to reestablish old contacts with one delegation after another traveling to tehran in two thousand and sixteen the economy minister at the time zygmunt gap will travel to terror with around a hundred german captains of industry since sanctions were lifted german companies revenue in iran has climbed by forty five percent. but now the new u.s.
9:18 am
ambassador to berlin richard grinnell is urging german companies to pull out of iran. at the same time germany france and britain said in a joint declaration they feel mutually obliged to stick to the terms of the nuclear treaty experts predict tough times ahead. the european union appears to be in a very difficult position there was no tone of compromise in the president's arguments for exiting the treaty he also said the sanctions would once again be fully implemented that could mean that it will be impossible for european companies to deal with iran without running the risk of attracting u.s. sanctions. so for now companies looking to iran face new uncertainty. uncertain also the impact on oil prices will oil hit eighty ninety or even one hundred dollars it's been
9:19 am
a while since we've read headlines like these but that could be said to change the oil price has been climbing steadily for months over the last year it's jumped to over sixty percent a barrel brant crude is currently selling for over seventy six dollars a four year high and analysts say higher demand to lower production and to geo political instability behind the rise a u.s. president to donald trump's saber rattling about iran is also contributing to those worries iraq is the third largest opec producer and experts say that could send the price of crude over the eighty dollars mark for now and for more on the immediate impact of all this on oil prices and back to your comfort from the german institute for economic research good to have you with us so with iran standing to lose access to the global oil market prices are likely to go up again who stands to profit. well of course those countries who export oil especially saudi arabia for example
9:20 am
or the other opec countries especially because they had to cut in the previous month the oil exploration because the price was too low and now if the prices rising obviously the income from oil exports will increase and those countries do benefit and how high do you think the oil price will go. that's very difficult to say because it's always been a spin spin speculation let's say that way because we don't know now we have a very high oil demand we have this geopolitical risk we still don't know what's ongoing in iran and the oil exploration there and here we see how high the fear is that the oil market will be under pressure in the future and this is why we see right now are climbing or prize and i think this will continue in the next month ok so let's let's just play it through let's say the all present goes above eighty or
9:21 am
maybe even ninety dollars a barrel how would that impact the economy globally but also europe especially those countries who import oil of course affect it negatively europe for example but also other industrial nations those countries who export benefit but those who import the do not benefit on the other hand we could also see that there might be some kind of increase of oil demand decline because here we have tendencies to. put more investment into energy efficiency in energy saving and also for the energy transition it might have to give a boost that is exactly a good point just very briefly is step perhaps even an upside to this development. what we say is that this oil prize is since stimulus also for saving oil demand and reducing oil demand and we hope that this also brings a boost also for the end of the temptation all right claudia came for them from the
