noncompliance with parts of the deal they've maintained that position strongly for some time now mr moussavi at the briefing today seemed to put a number on what might make it possible for iran to do you churn addressing a question about a european bypass to banking sanctions he said that they don't seem to be going far enough he said that before the united states pulled out iran was selling $2800000.00 barrels of oil a day and if there were to approach something close to that then it might be possible for iran to rethink its noncooperation with the joint comprehensive plan of action but he said any sort of monday in agreement would not be a satisfactory move for leaders here into iran saying many thanks i was in resign the striving that reporting live from rome. istanbul have shattered the ak party's grip on power over the country's largest city the opposition candidate want to run a rerun mero election it's a huge setback for president. whose party has run the city for 25 years the opposition narrowly won the 1st election in march before the ak party forced a rerun claiming fraud with near

seen as largely disingenuous and during a press briefing by iran's foreign ministry spokesman abbas moussavi he said iranian leaders don't take a lot of what the united states is saying seriously in any case since leaders there seem so divided in terms of what policies to take towards iran now in terms of sanctions that's really all that iran has seen in terms of practical steps by which it can judge american actions mr mousavi said that as long as sanctions remain in place it is really difficult for them to consider anything else in terms of the relationship with the united states but maintaining a defensive posture now in terms of the new sanctions that we're expecting to hear from washington later today mr mousavi also commented on that saying that what more is there left for the americans to sanction that they haven't already sanctioned in the past 40 years and in so far as all of the diplomats and all of the officials from washington visiting various allies of the united states in the region mr mousavi said that when it comes to consensus building if they're trying to build some kind of

certainly so have we've just also heard from the spokesperson of her own foreign ministry up us moussavi he's been commenting on the latest developments he said that. we strongly protested this aggressive and vocative action and we firmly warn against any by aleisha made by any foreign flying objects he's the latest person to comment on this now of course we've heard in the past few hours few days rather from the iranian president that the latest tensions at the escalations with witness is that as a result of the u.s. policy in their decision to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear agreement now the iranians are saying that the sanctions imposed on the iranian since that withdrawal of that agreement by the u.s. is economic war that's being waged on them and that iran will do everything in its power to try and keep itself afloat and they're not going to stand by and not do anything in there was also the incident last week in the gulf of oman were the 2 tankers were attacked and the americans have said that the iranians are likely responsible something categorically deny so a lot of tension buil

while this move is being called economic terrorism according to the foreign ministry spokesman up us moussavi this is a continuation of the united states government's policy towards iran of putting pressure on the pressure on iran and the people of this country and that is the suggestion last week by officials in the united states that if they were willing to talk with the iranians is not really a true one it's not they does not what they actually mean they're not true to their words that they cannot be trusted the iranian oil minister has also been speaking on saturday saying that iran has absolutely no plans to leave opec and the gap that's been created in the oil markets by iran being not being able to sell all its oil on the international market can never actually be filled by any of the countries such as saudi arabia and the u.a.e. so he's also reiterating iran's position that all these sanctions they might put some pressure on the country but nobody can actually replace what they're trying to do. well the pressure from u.s. sanctions is having an effect on the iranian economy with expor

comprehensive plan of action and we are waiting to see that come to pass in just a few days now mr moussavi during the press briefing also seemed to put a number on what might help iran do a u. turn on the non-cooperation with the nuclear deal he said before the united states pulled out of the deal iran was exporting 2800000 barrels of oil a day and if there was some meaningful change to go back to that as opposed to a monday an agreement if they were able to come back to some sort of compensation that helped them continue to sell oil in a meaningful way that might help iran to a u. turn but if there was some sort of mundane agreement something that wasn't good enough that won't be satisfactory for leaders into iran al-jazeera samus ravi reporting live from teheran let's go to washington then a white house correspondent given how could is with us live russia kimberly's says that any new sanctions on iran could be illegal and will be counted how is the white house likely to respond to that. well we're watching very carefully to see what dollars from might say and twitter about that right now

dialogue between these 2 countries in an early morning tweet from the foreign ministry spokesman abbas moussavi he characterized the latest decision by the united states as something that was permanently closing the path to diplomacy and if you are to sort of analyze what this could mean in the future even if it is only symbolic even if it doesn't have a practical impact now politically speaking at least from the perspective here in teheran if the next u.s. president wants to try to warm relations with iran these things will be like a political dead man switch they will be some sort of political blockades to normalizing any sort of dialogue with the iranian leaders here in the capital zain thanks very much. well these increasing tensions over iran have been high on the agenda at a meeting between russia israel and the united states in west jerusalem there russia's security council secretary told reporters that any attempts to present to iran as a threat to international security are unacceptable moscow says its military intelligence shows the american drone was in iranian airspace when it was s
