christensen he joins us live now at the united nations christian so we're still waiting to hear from the iranians at the u.n. what are they likely to say about the u.s. reimposing sanctions. well to be fair derren the iranian foreign minister zarif videotaped the address we are expecting to hear before the united states announced it was re-imposing these sanctions that said the announcement came as no surprise and even as secretary of state mike pompei it was making the announcement in d.c. with the united states u.n. ambassador by his side. zarif was speaking bird surely to a gathering here in the united states and he called the u.s. an irresponsible actor he said that the iran nuclear deal remains very much alive despite what the united states says with the other 5 countries that signed it through very hard fought negotiations in 2015 and we're likely to hear more along that theme from the speech we are going to get from iran iran's u.n. ambassador has gone so far here to call the united states a bully for going back on this agreement and trying to get other countries to do the sam

christian salumi joins us live now from the united nations christian have to stress these are of course unilateral sanctions in which case what's been the wider international reaction to that u.s. announcement. well the united states did attempt to get the international community's support for reimposing multilateral international sanctions on iran by invoking the so-called snap back provision of the iran nuclear deal under that deal any of the signatories could in fact reimpose those sanctions the problem is the united states left that deal 2 years ago under president truck and so the. rest of 'd the signatories to that deal and other members of the security council including some of the united states notoriously closest allies on the security council the european members of the council have chosen to preserve the deal and prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon as their primary focus the united states and some support from israel in its maximum pressure campaign against iran some support from the gulf states but many of its closest allies here have said have outright rejected the u
