trita parsi is with us now executive vice president of the quincy institute from washington d.c. trader nice to have you with us and it is no surprise i guess bad that secretary pompei wants to focus on iran it has been a focus of the state departments and it's day one however the fact that he went to such specifics about individuals and sanctions alike and didn't really seem to back any of it up with actually any hard evidence or that is his modus operandi if there are as many lies as possible makes it really difficult for people to sort through what is lie and what is true i think we have seen now that the priority for trump instruction for compañero has not been either if it had been they would have gone after those who are funding it which includes individuals as saudi arabia instead is that a stray she has shielded saudi arabia they would not have supported the war in yemen mindful of the fact that the u.s. intelligence pointed out that it was the who these that was the main force against al qaida instead the trumpet mistreated has been fighting the hooty the priority for th
