c. a. ron has condemned the u. s. seizure of 33 media websites, calling it a breach of freedom of speech. washington says the science violates sanctions against iran and accused of spreading this information. meanwhile, iran says it stopped and attempted active sabotage against the building of its atomic energy organisation doesn't entail on with more that the officials are remain very tight lipped about the details of this attempt at attack on a building which we understand to be in the city of carriage, that's just west of the capital terror on the attempt to attack took place on early wednesday morning. we still don't know what form the attack took, but the officials have said that they have managed to foil the attack and they are still investigating and looking for perpetrators. course this is not the 1st time we've seen this kind of attempt to sabotage and the previous time we saw such an attack that was successful was on the nuclear side of the towns. that last april, the secretary of state fairs is crucial th

a double standard for them when they preach about democracy for them to do this to the iranian sites. well, that's called our white house correspondent, kimberly hall could, who's in washington d. c. so ron is saying that this is a double standard by the us. what are the american saying about in the united states? government says the reason that this action was taken was to defend us democracy. they allege that, in fact, these sites were really just posing as new sites in order to spread misinformation this information to manipulate the us democratic processes. and as a result, a number of agencies including the f b, i took the action of taking these sites down. now, the timing is certainly interesting because it comes days after the results of the iranian election and the announcement of the president elect, who has been very clear with regard to his position that he will not meet with president joe biden. something that the white house says is of no concern because they say nothing has changed in their eyes. that in fact, the supreme leader is the one who makes decisions and their primary goal of trying to revive the j. c. p. a. that agree with the limit arise, new your program, that t

i mean, ron and the signature is to the j. c. p. o, a. the iran knew that deal back currently and talks in vienna is the new kid, the, the key diplomatic focus for the country. you know that the on the moon, the shade by borders are needed. so, so the genetic guarantee do not expect that much changes in your home by the changing of the president, by the president can have all the facts on shaking the football team or boarding other burgers. for example, changing mr. varied for 5 minutes. so in the big picture, the do not expect change but, but think about the details would be the moment of let me try to get your thoughts . thank you very much. indeed for talking to us now, 10 years after being expedited for war crimes, former ivory coast president of the wrong bank book has returned home. he was tried and acquitted of crimes against humanity. the charges baked back to 2010. when he refuse to concede defeat after presidential election, well that spark months of violence. if it's not clear, he return would bring reconciliation or renew tens

c. p o, a will be removed, but they're not going to remove sanctions on people who interfered in the u. s. c. election or who slaughtered hundreds of iranian demonstrators. so if the ron insist that all sanctions be removed, they're going to have to artfully read the 5. what all means and i don't think the iran leadership is ready to do that. maybe until after the election. they don't want to have any big news that might impede what looks like a coordination of, of you know, right. you see that this is a shami election and you know, they needed to proceed without incident. and then afterwards, they can allow the negotiations to be completed must offer on that idea that there's a change of posture, has to come from somebody someplace or somebody has to blink 1st. we don't have ours on the show to drill down into who actually runs the country. so would the guardian council go with the idea of reform or a change of posture? if whoever replaces ro, honey said, that was a good idea because article 4 of your countries constitution, correct me if i'm wrong, your article for of your country's constitution says this, the all laws, all new reforms or changes have to be islamic.

c, p away is a key component of jo bivens election campaign. and the fact that he would like to even expand it further limiting a ron's sort of regional influence and also his ballistic missile program. suggestions that have been brushed off by the president elect just makes us all the more problematic for this white house. white house correspondent kennedy house in washington, d. c. thank you. kimberly. well, let's not bring in mohammed l mastery. he is an associate professor of media and cultural studies, the for graduate studies, and he joins us now from minneapolis, minnesota mannered. there have been these questions raised around press freedom being curtailed, but all media in iran, a state run and other countries also have their own state sponsored media outlets. do you think this could backfire for the americans, especially seeing as they they really give primacy to freedom of the press? well, yeah, i mean, the short answer is the, i think, i think it can backfire. but the united states has a history of sort of paying lip service to these, these democratic notions of, you know, freedom and freedom of speech and freedom of the press. and

ron in california on the republican line. caller: good morning. i have to recant that. great having you back. it is a fresh air blowing through the c-span window.here is a couple of issues regarding this immigration that nobody wants to talk about. let's start with the minimum wage. 23 states have a minimum wage of $7.25. only immigrants are going to take jobs for that because they are off the books. if we had a $15 an hour across this country, you know what? the kids during summer school and all that time, they would all be working regular jobs. the whole thing is interconnected. one of the things about this border thing is they are still not addressing daca. they should certainly be getting that off the label and then we are talking about immigration reform which nobody wants to do anything about. it is a three legged stool that is not being addressed. people have to understand, our whole system is changing right now. we are going through a change of massive proportions and we have got to deal with the basic lifestyle of people. here in california most people, it costs 45%, 50% of income just to have a roof over their heads. that is an unsust
