iran's supreme leader ayatollah khamenei tweeted apologies towards the system will see no change. u.s. policies in the region differ through 180 degrees from iran. and he said the iran deal text approved or not, we will not stop supporting the nation, yemen, syria, bahrain and lebanon. they are full of shia populations. the groups in fighting proxy wars led to the u.s. state department to designate iran as a state sponsor of terrorism for more than three decades. >> it was 1979 when the islamic revolution ushered in a pivotal shift in iran. it listed the country as a state sponsor of terrorism. it remains on that until today. following a truck bombing in beirut killing 231 servicemen. it was linked to hezbollah, a shia group with backing from iran. hezbollah denied responsibility. in 1994, in argentina, 85 people were killed and more than 300 injured in a bombing in a jewish community center. iran was blamed but said it didn't put out a role. in 1996 iran was blamed for a truck bombing at a facility in saudi arabia, killing 19 u.s. servicemen. years later al qaeda was suspected. i

he faced a hostile congress, tweets from ayatollah khamenei are not helping the cause. teens. the incredible journey continues. >> i've been asked to keep my voice down cause we are so close to the isil position >> who is in charge, and are they going to be held to accout? >> but know we're following the research team into the fire >> they're learning how to practice democracy... >> ...just seen tear gas being thrown... >> ...glad sombody care about us man... >> several human workers were kidnapped... >> this is what's left of the hospital >> is a crime that's under reported... >> what do you think... >> we're making history right now... >> al jazeera america and ask tough questions of the negotiators of the deal. what stuck out for you today. >> absolutely, and on both sides of the aisle, republicans and democrats. for some house members, this is a hot to hear from the administration -- shot to hear from the administration. i want to give you a sense of the tone of the exchanges. it did get heated. here is tom marino with the secretary of state john kerry, basically tom marin

you have ayatollah khamenei tweeting, i will quote here, this barbaric and wolf-like regime of israel which spares no crime, no cure to be annihilated and he went, said had no cure and should be annihilated. he went on to say that israel should be eliminated and he linked to a nine-point plan how to get rid of israel. richard you can say mike huckabee is not speaking the truth there but the reality is, people in israel are worried about the idea of iran having a nuclear weapon. >> of course. how could they not be with that rhetoric. so the question is, what's next. i happen to be sympathetic to the administration's position the alternative, really when you boil it down is war and i think, that the country is most at risk if we actually bomb these sites in iran is israel. >> richard that is such a false premise. you are now going into the outrage just just like president obama. there are not two options. it is not war or the nuclear deal. you can get a better deal. >> how? rest of the countries are not in with us. >> double sanctions and bring iran to the table right now appears they'r

iran's ayatollah khamenei tweeting out a picture we have chosen not to show, that appears to depict aof president obama pointing a gun to his head. the post, an apparent response to mr. obama's claims that the united states could still use military force if the deal with tehran fails. during a speech in ethiopia today president obama defended this agreement. >> i have not yet heard a factual argument on the other side that holds up to scrutiny. there is a reason why 1999% of the world thinks it is a good deal -- 99%. because it is a good deal. the reason why overwhelming majority of nuclear scientists and non-prolive race experts think it's a good deal, because it's a good deal. it accomplishes our goal because it make sure that iran does not get a nuclear weapon. >> 99% of the world think this is good deal judge. didn't even have hard time selling selling this to members of his own party. >> i'm not sure where he came up with that number. obviously criticizing people being political and he is being political and in another country and made defense of it. i read this thing. it will pu

just today ayatollah khamenei tweeted a picture of his negotiating team dressed up in perfect white scientistackets just as foreign minister disa reef was coming back here from iran and said something how he had total trust in his brave negotiators. so that definitely seems to be preparing the ground in iran for a deal coming i would say within the next week. >> brown: just very briefly, indira, i gather on the sidelines there are continuing talks about americans still in prison in iran. do we know whether that's playing into these nuclear talks at all? >> well, there are those three americans, pastor, a journalist and an ex-marine who you mentioned who are imprisoned in iran. the united states says that in every single meeting that they have with the iranians they always bring up those three men and a fourth former f.b.i. agent who has been missing for more than seven years. the issue is they don't want to tie those men's fate to the talks. the americans have always said those men need to be released whether or not there is a nuclear deal. you can be sure that, of course at this moment of ma
