into a major confrontation in the persian gulf. why do you think western states rush in with punishing measures before hearing what the ira what the i.a.e.a. report has to say. i think it's these agency is seemed to be irrelevant at this point because no matter what they saying that sanction are coming because that's a suspicion are there. no matter what they are justifying or opening their facility there is some judgment already been rendered against your rant and i think the senate in the united states they took very aggressive sanction and sanctioning of the of the sun to the buying and all financial transaction with a rainy and. government this is very painful for their rainy and but
