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. 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for iran so european companies like french oil giant or dennis shaping have a way maersk and many others have already withdrawn from iran over fears of u.s. sanctions does this mean that trying to save the deal is really a losing battle for the europeans.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 thus the problem iran doesn't want to get out of 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 d. l. and making a medical even more. aggravated and i dressed so in fact iran also is trying to stay they did open our giving them by the way we all know that europeans do not mean it open governments do not control 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 they have left or leaving iran in large numbers and in the meantime the u. european have come up with this scheme called instead basically

a trade mechanism that supposedly will help certain today to continue and particularly trade in so-called legitimate to come other that is come other trees that are not under 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 a similar framework to the european one. turkey and iran are not exactly close of countries their relations somewhat strained over syria and other issues so how far can this cooperation go is this just. a shaky marriage shift convenience for both countries again these askins are really at the bottom of our sort of oil by oil for food or or in for medicine or other commodities

for food and medicine similar to what existed for a rock bought back in two thousand to the you know that is before the u.s. in base iraq only unfortunate that you that iran will have to come after the j.c. 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 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 as a round take these kinds of speculation seriously or is it just internal american

politics at play. yeah that's a very good question my own view of this is that iran misread france misunderstood trom and messed up its relationship with the us center arms significantly to deployment of. but inking that relationship into some kind of a danger this it termed is a businessman trump is not a politician is not a diplomat. from the day von trump wanted this nuclear deal didn't 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 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 trump cannot be responsible for everything that has happened between iran and the u.s. i believe i believe 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 it go she ate it what you're saying is that iran is

interesting to stay 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 for unst your random enrichment capacity is iranian leadership last saying or is it serious about restarting the country's nuclear program. first even bidden d.j. c.p.u.'s iran has rights to do certain things what must come any order. it was not outside the j.c. pos 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.t. us iran has not violated the j.c. even at a millimeter absolutely zero and therefore there 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.p.u.'s and therefore of whatever that has happened to j.c. . as far as the j.c. goes it is the the us side that is responsible it on doesn't day to live 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 not ng is avanti a city it living. here yes even more dangers for iran because it gives pretext. the law there is to do even if we're going to have to take a short break right now where we're back we'll continue talking with dr amir our

modern president of the american iranian council talking about the tensions between tehran and washington stay with us. breaks it. you know world of big partisan new laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be

smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other 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. through all the body go whoa oh it gets crazy oh. we've been a real good shot to begin murders controls all life. but sometimes on the last community young people are deciding if they want to not like their parents not like them liberals. are always struggling schools again you always have problems but you're not going to focus on the walk it's. the most ubiquitous going out there most police departments use it almost over stores in the school could get their hands on.

you if she chinese kids. racism only school child taken cried. these kids are all a part history. shows seemed wrong but. just don't call. me all the get to shape out these days become educated and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still the common ground. zero officer. had to get up off the ground serve began to pay him down to. her name phrase on the sounds of an mit grown man mislead essentially.

john. twisted away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and there would have been done she swung at constitutions didn't she them i never saw any contact with. any kind when back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gonna need to turn three.

we're back with. the president of the american iranian council and three time iranian presidential hopeful talking about. the u.s. surrounding tensions are taking so president rouhani has recently said to us that any intentions are at a maximum hostile rhetoric has indeed been mounting from both sides and pulled us out of the nuclear deal however like with north korea it could be just tromps way of establishing a negotiation is process and the president has said he wanted to meet the dons leader what mr rouhani agreed to it that that that was him. well this is not a the problem is mr braun is nobody he just can't make that decision i think it is the supremes leader. who will make that decision and fortunately mr on the hour misses that if they messed up the nuclear deal and they had given the mess of

how many are kinds of promises and i dand of the day they could not deliver any message how many therefore has become violently against the us and against any new deal because he does not believe that either this people are able to deliver anything or the us is willing to out to our boy abide by any new rules so therefore it is mr khamenei who is k.p. is keeping the gate closed between us and iran secretary of state might compel has previously invited iranians to look at u.s. 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

on more modern i mean first i think. mr trump. that vase when it comes to iran an opportunity that 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 was 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. the deal toward normalization of relationship meaning 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 a very important country and india as the u.s. really needs iran in that part of the war 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 will say iran is way too important for mr trump to consider that as north korea or any other state in those in 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 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 countries 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 as to teach it bad and they should not make it i cheat death by the law and the dividing line is still is this country's national interest for them when about it it comes to the national interest for example at rocky's and other side iran is analysis on one 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 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. israel saudi arabia or any of it ons neighborhood so with the nuclear dale and jeopardy if they have positions of anti deal iranian conservatives and re-inforced inside the

country could they distill it a from the west pushed it on into a more hardline political regime. well iran is going to war the vatican. and hardline politics no question about it the remembered. public's problems are only two hundred percent sanctions eighty percent of iran problems is domestic and it has to do bit mismanagement of this economy the country's economy is going down not just because of the sanctions that many kevin posed 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 the summit a lot can happen so i think if i was iran i will make a huge domestic change it on bidness to change is dumb as it has two years to rock that regime zick never can't really. get 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 the head to get help from europe is another's on on sanctions or anything close to that so it is slam into public and not just the late trump or all this is the problem is that they dish him itself says that a percent of its problems are domestic and they are management issues. that are just that ok but only way to do it is to restructure iran is also accused

of being absolved in yemen while the saudis are going for 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 adult country and it is in davenport syria is an apt country isn't data board iraq is it and that country is in the act of war iran is needed an app nor it belongs to an out of board so when saudis intel we man or is it syria and elsewhere 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 wald say what the hell bit it on to it to intervene in doubt aboard quoting code

although we don't really have an outboard there are so much problems with and that apps themselves but nonetheless it and i believe should stay away from that abort it should go back to its own borders ok and create a whole new that asia 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 and president obama they did not to start with mr trump that's a mistake in fact in fact you know no president of the

united states short as much very open to the middle east and mr obama mr obama has a record of selling military machine eighty to middle eastern countries including saudi arabia. ok but david a very it was very quiet and nice the question after all of 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 of the day they really come together in fact in fact i believe and if it is true mr trump it's not that regime change. it is not an interventionist it has always said that i don't want to get into it wanted to get out of syria i could promise you that he did it without how under

a person intervened in syria militarily it will never have given up when i sat. but dropped a ball i think there's a lot of misunderstanding of what rob is doing or would trump is just a medic i don't know is only i'm fortunate that a lot of misinformation is going get out. there only it isn't that's the case is because mr trump has a big mouth. thank you so much for this interview or talking to dr hooshang amirahmadi straight time iranian presidential hopeful and president of the american iranian council to discuss in their teens 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.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond's show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to press. you to try to be cross this is what the forty three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the why is it not how. i sit.

during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was and most of my family were unemployed working plus other wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for . that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for itself

just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. i do think the numbers something. they've mastered us little one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be old rich eight point six percent world market those who are pursued some with four hundred to five hundred three purchase per circuit and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember in one one business show you know board the mid one and only boom but.

i wouldn't call him a good many a factor judge sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. when the crime and merry go round lifts only the one percent. doing the whole middle of the room six. million real news is really oh. oh oh oh dear it's no. been a real gunshots few begin murders and calls all life. becomes our last community young people are deciding if they want to not like their parents not like the liberals running back to. the blacks always

drugs school again you always have problems but you are going to focus a lot it's the most ubiquitous going on out there most police departments use it almost ever so. in the school that they could get their hands on communism twenty four hours. teaching these kids about racism about police brutality taking kreider and they are these kids are a car all history. ten

days and counting till the breaks it deadline to resume a hits another hurdle as the common speaker rules out a third of the prime minister's faltering a plan unless she makes big changes. such police arrest the chief suspect wanted over the shooting of a tram in which three people died in new tract terrorism is not being ruled out also had. widespread looting and violence forces the hand of the french government which could now ban yellow bus protests in the areas worst hit by violence if there's a radical element to the demonstrations.
