thank you very much for having me speaking about the sanctions against iran foreign minister zarif recently said that europeans will have to get wet if they want to swim against the tide of the us unilateral anti iran route will european countries in your opinion actually go on and risk anything for sake of keeping trade ties with iran alive. i don't believe i never believed that without america europeans would be any effective helpful to iran in fact europeans have been playing a very. very unfair game dave want to keep iran in the j. c.p.u.'s. and therefore they keep. giving iran empty promises promises that they can not deliver the purpose of european promises empty promises it's just to keep it on in the.
2:31 am
iran so far has also been willing to listen to those empty promises because iran are so one to have a legitimate reason to a stay in the j.c. . iran doesn't want to leave is afraid of to leave and therefore it is also looking for a pretext to a stay and i believe you know pens are also playing that game giving iran that pretext to a state in the j.c.b. us otherwise there is no help or hope from europe for iran so european companies like french oil giant or dennis shipping have to wait maersk and many others have already withdrawn from iran over fears of u.s. sanctions does this mean that trying to save the deal is really
2:32 am
a losing battle for the europeans. it is certainly is and i don't believe europeans believe that they can save the deal but the problem is this the one that wants to save did this is iran that's the problem the iran doesn't want to get out of that the europeans are giving iran that the pretext iran needs the bottom line they want that wants to a stay in the deal is iran because iran is afraid of exiting dead dead dead deal and making a medica even more you know. aggravated and i guess if so so in fact iran also is trying. to stay they did open are giving them by the way we all know that europeans do not mean it open governments do not control
2:33 am
that private sector so the promise that it is that the european governments are giving are the promises that the governments are giving not the private sector and the private sector is not listening to their governments and that's why did we have left or leaving iran in large numbers in the meantime the u.s. europe and have come up with this scheme called instead basically a trade mckenna's that supposedly will help. today to continue and particularly trade in so-called legitimate to come other that is come up that is that are not and that the u.s. sanctions like medicine and wealth food items exactly the only and here's my next question because it seems like turkey is planning to set up
2:34 am
a similar framework to the european one but turkey and iran are not exactly close as of countries their relations somewhat strained over syria and other issues so how far can this cooperation go is this just. a shaky marriage of convenience for both countries. again these askins are really at the bottom of our sort of oil buy for oil for food or oil for medicine or other commodities for food and medicine similar to what existed for iraq bought back in two thousand to the europe that is before the us in base iraq sun only unfortunate that you that iran will have to come after the j.c.b. us to such a situation and i think no country i believe no country. wants to really jeopardize its relationship i mean economic relationship with the united
2:35 am
states of america a group of u.s. senators actually recently published and in the washington post and they're suggesting that they trumpet ministration has been trying to establish a strong link between iran and al qaeda based on no hard evidence and maybe using this speculation as a pretext to strike iran just like what happened with iraq in two thousand and three there's around take this kinds of speculation seriously or is it just internal american politics at play. that's a very good question my own view of this is that iran misread from misunderstood from and messed up its relationship with the us center arms significantly to the point of. being king that relationship into some kind of a danger this it term is a businessman trump is not a politician taran is not
2:36 am
a diplomat. from the day von trump wanted this nuclear deal been a go she remembered around vater for almost a year before he leaves j.c. he did not leave j.c. pos immediately he became president he gave iran as a long time to think about and he tried his best and trump did not really impose sanctions for almost a year even after it really imposed sanctions it actually gave eight countries. you know have a out for exporting iran's oil and they continue to exist to two bodyguards or so i think it cannot be responsible for everything that has happened between iran and the us i believe i believe
2:37 am
iran has to take at least a big part of this responsibility and i particularly i particularly fault iran's foreign minister message that if i. was president rouhani because both of them but saw in love video of the day scipio they could not see that that particular did a go she ate it what you're saying is that iran is interesting to say in the deal but back in july iran's supreme leader salman a has ordered the country's atomic energy agency to prepare for an upgrade of iran steere a name enrichment capacity is iranian leadership last saying or is it serious about restarting the country's nuclear program. first even the bit in the j.c. . iran has rights to do certain things what must come
2:38 am
any order. was not outside the j. c.p.u.'s it is part of the j.c. pos for death for iran by by doing that mr how many by ordering that particular action was not violating the j. c.p.u.'s iran has not violated the j.c.b. us even at a millimeter absolutely zero and therefore that is that has been no violation of the j.c. from the it are inside the international and the energy atomic agency as very fide that many many times and iran continues to stay salat. within the j.c. . and therefore above whatever that has happened to j.c. . as far as the j.c. goes is the the us side that is responsible for it on doesn't day to live
2:39 am
and i go outside the gate c.p.u.'s they chase it has become at rap has become a trap for iran as staying in the j. c.p.u.'s gives it nothing is a von vs street living. yes even more dangers for iran because it gives pretext. blogger's. we're going to have to take a short break right now where we're back we'll continue talking with dr hooshang amirahmadi president american iranian council talking about the tensions between tehran and washington stay with us.
2:40 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only mostly. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. financial survival guide stacy let's learn a solid fill out let's say on the troika and your theories. of the fight well
2:41 am
street spot thank you for. the story that's broke if you looked at slavery. be. eighty five percent of global will you long to be old bridge. to proceed to move markets those who are. percent somewhat four hundred to five hundred three first circuit per second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars . china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overall. the only number you need to remember is one one business showed ford to miss the one and only boom but. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that
2:42 am
it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. can't be good. interested always in the waters in the. first sitting all.
2:43 am
the way back with dr who they present i know the american iranian council and three time iranian presidential hopeful talking about their risk it's her and the u.s. surrounding tensions are taking so and president rouhani has recently said that u.s. had any intentions are at a maximum hostile rather ache has. indeed been mounting from both sides since trump pulled us out of the nuclear deal however like with north korea it could be just tromps way of establishing a negotiations process and president has said he wanted to meet the dons leader would mr rouhani agree to it that that day with him. well this is not a the problem is mr rouhani is nobody he just can't make that decision i think it is the supremes leader. who will make that decision and fortunately mr rouhani and mrs that if they messed up the nuclear deal they had given the mess of how
2:44 am
many are kinds of promises and i dand of the day they could not deliver any missile how many therefore has become a violently against the us and against any new deal because he does not believe that it or this people are able to deliver anything or you rule so therefore it is mr khamenei who is k.p. is keeping the gate closed between us and iran secretary of state might compare has previously invited iranians to look at us diplomacy to north korea as an example of washington's negotiation powers however nothing really came out yes of the flash diplomacy and american pressure so our negotiations between washington and peel now is really a good example for tehran to watch. not really i think iran has to find its
2:45 am
on more modern i mean first i think. mr trump. that vase when it comes to iran an opportunity turned to become a trap but i have to also say that trump administration is the first administration in the last forty years after it as a rule that has offered iran a comprehensive negotiation toward the north of mali ization of the nation a ship they really offered a comprehensive deal toward normalization of relationship we. the u.s. will get into the d n economy alp the economy and the rest of it i think iran missed a major opportunity and it has to find its own model north korea is not divided that it that it i should for iran is a huge country is
2:46 am
a very important country and india as the u.s. really needs iran in that part of the board to create the ditch that is the ability regional peace. north korea is an isolated estate is it is not in good nobody so i think i would say iran is way too important for mr trump to consider that as north korea or any other state in those. those terms it has to see iran as iran a country of three thousand years of civilization eighty two million people a geography you ok but all of it iran is largely seen as will doing more influence in iraq than the americans especially post isis iran is a share power though and iraq has loss of restive sunni's rates rise again can
2:47 am
increased iranian influence in the country trigger a new onset of six hereon violence. yes well again i don't believe the problem in the region between iran and the rest of the community out there that the country is is just she has so many the shia sunni divide is one issue but it has been dead for centuries for fourteen hundred years so that the issue will is not really a strategic badda and they should not make it i cheat death by the law and the dividing line is this is this country's national interest for them when about it it comes to the national interest for example at rocky's and others side it on his analysis on side although it at rock is a shia country largely but that's the only country in the middle east that had that eight year war with iran
2:48 am
a lot of shias on both sides each other over a hundred million she has on both sides killed each other so i don't think that it is just this so new shia each you is the national interest of this country is and i think all of them have to come together on that basis the fact is that today's world is not the war that one country maximize is interest against the interest of others every nation must be in a fit from any d. and individual the biggest i think mistake that they jason get j c p o m eight was that it did not include like israel saudi arabia or any of it ons neighborhood so what the nuclear dale and jeopardy at their positions of anti deal iranian conservatives and reinforced inside the country could they distill it a from the west pushed it on into
2:49 am
a more hardline political regime. well iran is going to war the vatican. and hardline politics no question about it the demand but. public's problems are only two hundred percent sanctions eighty percent of iran has problems is domestic and it has to do but mismanagement of its economy the country's economy is going down not just because of the sanctions that many kevin pose it because it is being mismanaged the information has over one hundred percent unemployment over forty percent income is declining particularly for the middle classes so you don is in very serious problem and i think the country is moving in that their action a critical situation toward the end of this summit
2:50 am
a lot can happen so i think if i was here on i will make a huge domestic change it on didn't is to change is domestic it has to yes to rock that regime zick never can tell ee i'm betting that people back to his side but into right people to manage that country should not put all of its eggs on the side of the trying to help to head to get help from europe is another's on on sanctions or anything close to that so it is slimy to public and not just the way trump or all this is the problem is that they dish him itself says that a percent of his problems are domestic and they are management issues. that address his of being absolved in yemen while the saudis are going for
2:51 am
a full on intervention will iran ever get involved directly on the side of the his face. so the problem is this. young man is an app country and it isn't data board syria is an app country isn't data board iraq is it and that country is in the out of board it on is needed an app nor is it belongs to an out of board so when saudi's intel within india man or it's a city on the as it is legitimate so-called but when iran does it is illegitimate because in the un has moved beyond its territory is unfortunate this is double standard of course but it is also understandable because it is and i have ward say what the hell bit it on to it to intervene in doubt of board quoting code although we don't really have an out of board there are so much problems with and
2:52 am
that apps themselves but nonetheless it and i believe should it stay away from that aboard it should go back to its own borders ok i'm create a whole new they should ship the senate just passed a resolution that calls for ending your support to the south to complain in yemen and it is expected to make it through the house and be vetoed by trump is this a sign of what's to come if democrats win in two thousand and twenty can sound is afford to continue with their rivalry with iran if they fall out of washington's favor well first up the young man and the saudis intervention in yemen started under president obama they did not to start with mr trump that's a mistake in fact in fact not much very open to the middle east and mr obama mr obama has a record of selling military machine to the middle eastern countries including
2:53 am
saudi arabia ok but david a very it was very quiet and nice. the question that after all that is no not much of a big difference when it comes to republicans or democrats when it comes to foreign policy did it come together the other day have certain. policy. differences but at the end and if it is true mr trump is not a regime change. it is not an interventionist it has always said that i don't want to get into it it wanted to get out of syria i could promise you that he did it without how dare a person intervene in syria militarily it will never have given up when i sat. but. i think there's a lot of misunderstanding what the op is doing or would trump is a medic i don't know is only i'm fortunate that miss information is going very
2:54 am
well the only it is in that's the case is because mr trump has a big mouth. thank you so much for this interview we were talking to dr hooshang amirahmadi three time iranian presidential hopeful and president of the american iranian council discussing the team's relations between the two nations in the context of the wider middle east that's it for this edition of sophie and call see you next time. thank you very much for having me.
