8:01 pm
and i'm glad to have you with us who you are watching our team live from moscow let's get right to a recap of this week's top stories and. your headlines iran has cut its crude oil supplies to french and british firms it is a move seen by many as retaliation for the e.u. decision to impose sanctions on the country the e.u. says that the ban was it needed to force iran to resume talks over its atomic program meanwhile a team of u.n. nuclear inspectors is on its way to the country a second to such visit within a month earlier the european commission claimed that the block has enough oil reserves to last for around one hundred twenty days saudi arabia has also stepped in by saying it is prepared to supply extra oil if needed but some experts fear that this move nonetheless will have a negative impact on already struggling european economies historian webster

united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the i.a.e.a. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threaten its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike the iran refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran and so what is the cause of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change.
