i'm joined now by helena humphrey in washington and our financial correspondent jose luis to haro in new york. let's start with you why is the trumpet ministration choosing now to push even harder on these sanctions. stephen this is gloves off from the trumpet administration it's been upping the ante against iran in recent weeks with the aim of bringing the country back to the negotiating table on the twenty fifteen new deal and is prepared to choke the economy to do so remember that iran has fifty billion u.s. dollars every year from its oil certainly washington d.c. has been. acting a list of measures in recent weeks two years two weeks ago rather it names the arabian revolutionary guard part of the government as a terrorist organization and you know trump and netanyahu the israeli prime minister also drawing closer in recent weeks of course israel and iran sworn
