ayatollah ali khamenei and his associates mr trump said he was taking the action because ayatollah khomeini he was put was the person responsible for iran's conduct he said the united states did not seek conflict with iran but would continue to increase pressure to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons and supporting militant groups the supreme leader of iran is one. also believe is responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime is respect. it was it is country is offers overseas the regimes of most brutal instruments including the islamic revolutionary guard. sanctions imposed through the executive order that i'm about to say. will deny the supreme leader in the supreme leader's office and those closely affiliated with him in the office access to key financial resources and support. the sense of khamenei and his office will not be spared from the say. this could move from d.w. coast from the dome of a silence in washington welcome to so explain to us what difference that the sanctions are likely to make to the regime which is already suffering. u.s. sanctions. that's right well the

narrative that america cannot in fact to borrow from the founding father of the islamic republic khomeini it cannot do a damn thing quote and this is in fact a pretty dangerous narrative to want to stick on to the administration because the ministration could be incentivized to escalate in response to it's iran to prove that there are problems so i think what has happened is washington has generated tough penalties that the value is that often has done in 9 months what took multilateral sanctions 6 years to do when you look at the iranian economy and the goal of course is to make to iran realize that there is no way out but through and it is a bigger broader better deal that is iran's own interest iran analyst to have an eye on that then have who with the foundation of defense of democracy said thank you for weighing in thank you so much. next i'd like to turn to washington and the voice. of the international crisis group mr bass is the project director on iran there and known around washington and undoubtedly in tehran for an opinion piece headlined the u.s. should strive for a stable ir

shery: president trump is wrapping up pressure on iran, targeting supremely are ayatollah khomeini with new sanctions. he said the ayatollah is responsible for iran's hostile conduct. a today's action follows series of aggressive behaviors by the iranian regime in recent weeks, including shooting down u.s. drones. one,ss everyone saw that and many other things aside from the individual drone. you saw the tankers and we know of other things that were done also which were not appropriate. discuss with our congress editor. we know that 80% of the iranian economy is already sanction, so have big of an impact will this be? >> it is primarily symbolic, as you say. there are not many bullets u.s. can fire in these sanctions game with rent. they're trying to keep up the -- with iran. gesture,e a symbolic in addition to the ayatollah they are members of the military command who are put under sanctions, it will limit them dealing -- moving money around outside of iran, but in terms of the iranian economy, it's not going to be a big impact. aroundn terms of getting to the negotiating table, is it

blow their assets here as you've mentioned there is among them the supreme leader of iran ayatollah khomeini among him 8 leaders all the iranian revolutionary guards with the ultimate goal to lock down their finances lock down the iranian economy as a whole iran has already vowed to not give into this policy of maximum pressure they believe that they have abided by the nuclear deal and that all they have gotten out of this is ever tougher sanctions by the americans so they argue that they might as well just go ahead and rich you're a new as they have done before because like that they would have these to have a bargaining chip in their hand so what strategy is the white house pursuing what is the ultimate objective. we've been getting a lot of mixed messages from the white house lately there have been 3 policy turnarounds in the last week that raises certainly a lot of questions and the last turnaround shield was on the planned attacks in a. drone when just 10 minutes before the united states were supposed to carry out air strikes on iranian targets the president decided to 3 stop this attac

( laughter ) also, while sitting there in the oval, trump was asked about what the goals of any war with iran would be. >> do you have an exit strategy for iran if war does break out? >> uh, you aren't going to need an exit strategy. i don't need exit strategies. >> stephen: (as trump) "i mean, our troops will need one, but not me. i'll be fine, what with the bone spurs and everything." over the weekend, columnist e. jean carroll accused donald trump of sexually assaulting her 23 years ago in a bergdorf goodman dressing room. and yesterday, trump gave a very very bad reason why he's innocent, telling a reporter, "i'll say it with great respect: number one, she's not my type. number two, it never happened. it never happened, okay?" so, it didn't happe

to impose new sanctions targeting the iranian supreme leader ayatollah khomeini and other senior officials but mr rouhani has told the french president that iran isn't looking for war following the latest tensions with the u.s. zain bus ravi is in tehran. these are the 1st comments we've heard from supreme leader ayatollah ali coming day since he was added to the u.s. sanctions list on monday he addressed american sanctions not specifically sanctions against him but about american sanctions he acknowledged that they have indeed over the years had a devastating effect on iran's economy he said iran has been oppressed but that does not mean iran is weak it is mighty and will achieve its goals and in a seeming reference to the shoot down by iran's military of a u.s. drone last week on thursday he said iran has shown its power not just through recent events but in its resistance over the last 40 years he said iran remains mighty and dignified so very strong comments coming from him and with regards to the idea of talks he said that the united states only goal is to weaken iran in any way possi

khomeini, the founder of the islamic republic, you know, died a long time ago. >>> also tonight, axios revealed nearly 100 internal trump transition vetting documents. one red flag was general david petraeus, who was under consideration for secretary of state and national security adviser. petraeus is opposed to torture is what it says. what does it say about the trump administration that that is a red flag? >> well, to be fair to them, it's not clear what those documents were being used for. apparently they were briefing trump on the people he might meet and making him aware of all the negative things said about him. and frankly it speaks well of trump if he was willing to meet people who disagreed with him on things. the bigger issue to me, it reminds one is, that trump repeatedly came out in favor of torture even though he knew that the senior most military leaders in the country from petraeus to people like colin powell, to people like john mccain who had served in combat, were all telling him it doesn't work. it's un-american. it betrays our principles. so why would you persist in

it's been 30 years since the death of ayatollah ruhollah khomeini the 1st supreme leader of the islamic republic of iran speaking from his shrine iran's current supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei i took the opportunity to remind iranians of the legacy of resilience and resistance they've inherited from their founding father if you take a step back he said the enemy will move forward the only way to stop aggressors is to stand your ground no doubt a message to his people on how to deal with the united states he also said giving in to american demands was no way to deal with a nation he considers to be in decline and miss him would be on as. the way insects eat away at would so too are american institutions and pillars also falling apart this is true economically and socially just like a termite eating away at their pillars if there is one reason for this is the selection of a person like donald trump electing mr trump is an indication of u.s. decline that the destiny of more than 300000000 people is being decided by such a person shows american political decline inside america people

very slim at this time because of the statesman being made by the iran's supreme leader ayatollah khomeini as well as by to president of the united states donald trump recently donald trump has said very clearly very explicitly that he's not interested in getting in gage in another and less war in the middle east. that danger however is a miscalculation by either iran or do u.s. war or an event instigated by some regional players in that iran has to respond and then the u.s. has to respond to iranian response and then this can get out of control and denby might have a limited military confrontation this is why it is very important for iran and the united states to open channels of communication between their top leadership or at least between the military leaderships of the 2 countries so that be can prevent a miscalculation or a military limited military confrontation between the 2 countries because if there is a military confrontation even if it is a limit on it is not going to be it is not going to serve the interests of the united states interests of iran ward interests of the regional

years is an example for the 1st 7 years of that war the founding father of the islamic republic khomeini said war until victory and at the end he said he drinks from a poison chalice and like in accepting a u.n. cease fire resolution to drinking from a poisoned chalice so i think the conditions here and washington should be trying to put to iran's back to the wall and then offer to clear a pathway but by all accounts and by the looks of it iran is not about to capitulate so i'm just wondering what does success look like from your perspective and that of the u.s. . that's an excellent question because by all accounts i think iran is going to be escalating further and not just in the area that you mention which is you know pushing back an un-american a military sense in the persian gulf i think we can expect to see more of what we saw in may in countries where iranian proxies are active such as iraq in syria out expect them to do want to target u.s. forces or u.s. assets or u.s. interests in the cyber domain i would expect iran to be quite active in the missile testing world as well as wel

they also introduced personal sanctions against the supreme leader of iran and i see him ayatollah khomeini you wasn't planning to vacation at mar a lago or some other american destination so in practical terms i think those sanctions don't amount to much but symbolically of course i think the iranians cannot leave them unnoticed how much of a hinderance is that for any prospect of future talks so this goes against the backdrop of american claim to engage in talks with iran so if you want to talk to iran why are you imposing these sanctions and. then it's interesting that they're imposing the sanctions against the the people like. foreign minister zarif who might be the person who represent thinking iran in the negotiations or the office of the litter who is a major main figure in the country and can decide on different issues in coordination with the parliaments and they are pretty orderly negotiation i think that indicates that they are not really for the negotiations we have been seeing from tampa administration officials have been writing themselves directly in the past that. with dress

champion of freedom of the palestinians and so it's very difficult for them to admit something that khomeini the founder of the islamic republic has stated before. that the opposite is true now with the issue of gay rights and the coup criminalization of homosexuality in iran that is a completely different issue it is it's true that iran has violated human rights. for a long time and they have been executions related to homosexuality quite not recently but of course in the eyes of the iranians this is being used as a propaganda tool to do diligence to mei's iran and frankly speaking and there i think the iranians do have a point not the standing the human rights bad human rights balance is if you were lying with saudi arabia a country that constantly executes people for all kinds of of criminal offenses one of them is just a critic criticizing the regime at a minor age if you deliver weapons and of like the value of hundreds of. of dollars then the human rights argument doesn't really play well in the ears of the iranians and i think that's that's at least understandable in the situation may
