the key here is relations between hamas and pi], and hamas' desire to continue the easing of the blockadewe have seen over the year now. hamas' calculation, of course, is really a black box. we don't know exactly what the relations inside there and also their relations with the palestinian islamichhad. but there is no love lost between the organisations, and hamas sees pij as a rival, a very small rival, but one that will often not obey its desires for sometimes a ceasefire with israel and attempt to improve economic relations, at least for its own good. and you talk about easing off the blockade — i imagine for many palestinians, it isn't enough, but what do you see is progress or positive? it is far from enough from my perspective as well, but it has included some important steps on desalination of water, on power, on a dozen, almost two dozen thousand work permits of gazans into israel, the beach waters are for the first time in a long time now ones that people from gaza can swim in. people on the gaza strip were in dire circumstances but we have seen progress on the right direction. i

now, hamas says armed groups are united in battle.lier i spoke to david makovsky who's the ziegler distinguished fellow and the director of the programme on arab—israel relations at the washington institute of near east policy. i asked him to explain who palestinian islamichhad are. the palestinian islamichhad not funded by 0mos, its weapons are not as accurate or sophisticated as hummus. they operate autonomously in gaza and the commander in the west bank was arrested by israel without retaliation. israel locked down its neighbouring communities right near the border, and there was a lot of pushback, saying, there is a whole week where we are stuck in our house because of this thread, but they, you know, they operate independently and they operate independently and the name of the game, frankly, is to keep hamas out. hamas has stayed out before one islamic jihad and israel have exchanged blows, and that is the name of the game this time. if hamas stays out it won't escalate, but the question is, will they be able to stay out of the f

what do you think might be the issue over whether hamas does or does notjoin over whether hamas does join what over whether hamas does or does notjoin what has happened so far? not 'oin what has happened so far? ~ ., , , not 'oin what has happened so far? ~ . , , ., not 'oin what has happened so far? ~ ., , , ., ., far? well, there has been a lot of mediation, _ far? well, there has been a lot of mediation, attempted - of mediation, attempted mediation between the sides, between hamas and israel, and thatis between hamas and israel, and that is key. if hamas joins the fighting here we can see another situation similar to what we saw in may last year. if not, if it remains within a much smaller organisation, the palestinian islamichhad, it would be a much more control fight. hamas want to see the easing of the brocade that we have seen every year or so. we don't know exactly what the relations inside there and also their relations with the palestinian islamichhad. but there is no love lost between their organisations and produces islamichhad �*s arrival, a small rival, but one that wi

hamas has said it is the guardian ofjerusalem. but that might make it harderfor hamas to stay out. what happens on sunday, know this will escalate with hamasjoining in, orwill this be over? it is clear that hamas and islamichhad are rivals and hamas has not been too upset that when israel has kind of, you know, hurt its biggest rivals within the gaza strip. 48 hours from now will tell us, you know, is this going to an escalatory phase or is thisjust one going to an escalatory phase or is this just one and done. thank you forjoining us. the conspiracy theorist alexjones has been ordered to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages after falsely claiming the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. the defamation case against the infowars founder was brought by the parents of one of the victims. they say they endured harassment and emotional distress because of the right—wing host's misinformation. 20 children and six adults were shot dead at sandy hook elementary school in connecticut. staying with that story, i'm joined by our correspondent nomia iqbal in washington. good to have yo

hamas— behind hamas in the gaza strip.t of rockets at _ hamas governs gaza and has a lot of rockets at its disposal. everyone is looking _ rockets at its disposal. everyone is looking here to see how hamas reacts. — looking here to see how hamas reacts, because there is a lot of mediation — reacts, because there is a lot of mediation going on already to try to calm the _ mediation going on already to try to calm the situation, to try to stop a dramatic— calm the situation, to try to stop a dramatic escalation with egypt to the traditional go—between holding talks with both israel and the palestinian side. islamicjihad will act separately from the first rag, it has— act separately from the first rag, it has said — act separately from the first rag, it has said it was going to avenge the death— it has said it was going to avenge the death of this commander, the commander of this operation in the north— commander of this operation in the north of— commander of this operation in the north of the — commander of this operation i

i think the main question is whether hamas who effectively i is whether hamas who effectively controlshin willjoin in this fighting against israel, in that case it is very likely to expand into a much bigger operation, like a conventional war and that could last weeks and cause tremendous damage, civilian damage on both sides and probably massive casualties primarily in gaza but also on his release and that's the big question. so far, the fighting has been primarily limited to israel and palestinian islamichhad. the leadership generally has taken the line that it holds hamas responsible for everything that happens in gaza and hamas is understood to have the capability to stop firing from islamic palestinian jihad, capability to stop firing from islamic palestinianjihad, but if israel is fading islamichhad that is not necessarily bad for hamas, as your reporter pointed out they've lost senior figures this weekend. 50 that's part lost senior figures this weekend. so that's part of the political calculations that hamas are making at the moment. making that decision, whether they step in o

as we speak, we will do whatever it takes to defend our people, has a hama and is a member of the hamas political bureau. he says the on group which runs garza will defend the palestinian people. look, i think commerce, our wasn't very clear. this is alicia. go to speak will i think we will not keep silent and we will not get close our eyes for this. it proved an occurrence and i think you, we her the decision and go over to different on people and to stop the solution. i think we have the ability to do that and we have the decision to do that and to solve the situation. and i think that we have a good coordination with all policy infection another to see what we can do and what is the best option for the policy people and policy, the distance faction in this time. you're now st reports from garza. so until now we're still witnessing israeli raids on different areas of because it's stripped, the latest of which was a targeting of a home in jamalia that's in the north and gaza strip. and local sources say that 6 people were injured from that targeting. the ministry of health has not yet

even taking hamas? h further beyond islamic 'ihad? even taking hamas? hamas? that is- further beyond islamicjihad? even taking hamas? that is the big fear because hamas is the most powerful militant group that governs gaza, but at the moment because of its own practical considerations it is staying out of the fighting. we have the un, qatarand staying out of the fighting. we have the un, qatar and egypt all involved in efforts to calm things down. theirjob would be much easier if hamas does not get involved as well. what we have seen throughout the day is heavy exchanges between israel and palestinian militants, with israeli warplanes and artillery being used to hit sites in gaza, even some houses being hit, sending a big, black cloud of smoke and debris. we understand some owners were warned that was going to happen. israel says this is a pre—emptive military operation against islamicjihad, and iran backed group. it says it has precise and detailed intelligence it was planning attacks against israelis. but amid the worst violence in over a year, the pa

hamas areacts.'s a lot going on willer to try to stop a dramatic escalation with egypt, the traditional go-between holding talks between israel and the prelim side. really, islam -- palestinian side. really, hamas said it was going to avenge the death of this commander of operations in the north of the gaza strip. one of at least 10 who have been killed but it's what happens with hamas and whether it also joins in the fighting that will tell ushether this could be a more serious round of fighting. >> thank you so much for joining us. moving on to other news. the islamic state militant group has claimed -- claimed responsibility for a deadly blast in afghanistan's capital kabul on friday. they say explosives were attached to a cart which h been loaded with vegetables and parked in a shopping area. taliban take over a year ago has reduced the number of violent public attacks. taiwan says that 6 chinese aircraft and 16 vessels were active in the taiwan strait. china islso suspending cooperation with th

really, islamichhad will act separately from hamas.t it was going to avenge the death of this commander, defender of operations in the north of the gaza strip, one of at least ten people will been killed, but it is what happens with hamas and whether it also joins in the fighting that will really tell us whether this could be a more serious round of fighting between israel and palestinian militants. yolande knell reporting. the conspiracy theorist alexjones has just been ordered to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages after falsely claiming the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. the defamation case against the infowars founder was brought by the parents of one of the victims. they say they endured harassment and emotional distress because of the right—wing host's misinformation. 20 children and six adults were shot dead at sandy hook elementary school in connecticut. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal assesses the significance of the verdict. if you think about alex jones, for those people who are not fully aware of

so farthings are relatively calm and no sign at least yet that hamas is going to enter the fray. if that does happen, all bets are off in terms of when and if this kind of flareup is going to end, lynda. >> we will stay on this story and speak to you soon. thanks very much. >>> several countries set to meet monday at the united nations to discuss the latest violence in the middle east >> united area emirates have requested a meeting. france is calling for all parties to exercise restraint and says civilians will be the first victims of any further escalation. russia is also seriously concerned about the conflict and call for all parties to return to a sustainable cease-fire. >>> the head of the international nuclear energy commission says there could have been a nuclear disaster in ukraine. they are still trading blame over who's responsible. president zelenskyy's pointing a finger at russia and says ukraine will try to make moscow pay for what it allegedly did. >> translator: unfortunately, we have a significant worsening of the situation around the zap rhesa nuclear power plant

and the islamic jihad in the hamas will pay the price and that is like prime minister pete said in a press conference, it takes what he takes in a he is even willing to escalate and it can take days and maybe even more than that. thank you. very much indeed there for joining us. thank you, val there. thank you your thoughts. thank you. when it's her she than i shot there from garza where it has got a big question. i lost her half an hour or so. even though i say i had to be monitoring events for sir, since this all started a you know, tell us about the, the, the situation at the moment. yes, so in the, in this past like 30 minutes, 2 more raids were carried in different areas here in the causes strip, 5 people were injured including 3 children. they have arrived to a shipper. their injuries were between critical and immediate. and data earth rises, the number of people, injury to almost 60 ah, this was in the last a couple of minutes that happened. another agricultural land was also targeted great by. it was completely burned by the rates and the muscles that were at a half targeted

is not necessarily bad for hamas.your reporter pointed out they've lost senior figures and this will weaken islamichhad in gaza in general. so that's part of the political calculations that hamas are making at the moment. making that decision, whether they step in or they don't. what about the political calculations from the israeli side, what are the kind of things they will consider? you really cannot divorce this from the fact that israel is in the middle of an election campaign, its fifth campaign in 3.5 years. an unusual situation, the current prime minister has only been in office forjust over a month following a rotation deal with the government that was only established a year ago and everybody from the prime minister to the head of the opposition, the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu, is trying to assert and convey to the israeli public that his party, and these are all male leaders, are the best ones and the most capable of dealing with the situation while at the same time, trying to make a show of u

this will not change as long as hamas is in power in the gaza strip. and there is no indication that the situation in this trip itself will change fundamentally in the coming years. at least analysts get assigned back. thank you so much for your time. thank you. the united nations chief antonia tara has warned that an attack on the chaper easier nuclear power plant is suicidal. his comments come is key of accused as moscow deliberately targeting the facility and southern ukraine or russia denies the attack, saying ukrainian forces were responsible. the plant is the largest in europe. keith says, shelling damaged radiation sensors, sensors, and but it hurt a walk worker speaking in the japanese city of hiroshima, after marking, be $77.00 anniversary of the world's 1st year attack. you ends and tenure, the terrorist called for access to the fight for international inspectors, although you will be now correspondent mathias bellinger is in the ukranian capital key and he updated us earlier about the situation at that nuclear power plant. we cannot, sir. de

s. officials engaging with hamas or with islamic jihad. what you are going to seeing is engagement with the palestinian authority and its president mahmoud abbas . you're going to see an engagement, of course, with the israeli government. and you're going to see engagement with other parties in the region with egypt with jordan, with other countries that may be able to bring indirect influence upon hamas and islamic jihad. but you're not going to see the americans doing it themselves. that's just a nonstarter rosen. thank you very much indeed. rosalind jordan talking to us from washington d. c. with united nations middle east coordinators called for d escalation of the fighting. kristen salumi has more from the un in new york. there can be no justification for attacks on civilians. those are the words of middle east coordinator toward venice land in response to the recent attacks in gaza. he noted that a 5 year old child is among the dead and express concern that this escalation between palestinian militants and israel. and what he describ

and that has always been, you know, a goal between, between israel and hamas. and other militant factions in times like these are that they are trying to mediate or between the factions. but of course this is a very fluid and dynamic situation. and there's no time table given i've, you've heard from the israeli army, they're saying, you know, this could last or at least a week, or also, israeli officials are quoted as saying him, the israeli media that there no negotiations at the moment are going on. and of course, that comes to spite calls by some international actors like the u. n. a. and roy, for the middle east, our process peace process here, or the you also, you know, calling of, you know, for not for d escalating the situation because it's the civilians that are paying a high price here need only correspondent on their grandma in jerusalem. thank you . let's take a look at more stories making headlines around the world in japan as marking the 77th anniversary of the nuclear attack in hiroshima, the u. s. dropped the world 1st atomic bomb on 6th august 1

anchor: hamas has remained on the sidelines in this class. we asked why. >> islamic jihadists are traditionally the more radical strategically aligned with iran. there is a strategic gap. i think the main reason for hamas staying on the sidelines entered a violent confrontation. it is still recovering from the brutal israeli onslow on the basis of the organization, it did not want any major escalation right now, and part of the reason is israel has loosened some restrictions and hamas does not want to lose this benefit of the latest confrontation right now. anchor: let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines. antony blinken is in south africa setting up policies. the tour is seen as a chance to counter russian influence. moscow leaders are moving ahead with plans to hold a referendum on joining russia. ukraine is calling for a demilitarized zone around a nuclear power plant. kyiv is accusing russia of shelling the client, they have warned any attack on a nuclear power plant would be suicidal and want access. tonight, sugge

in that 11-day conflict with hamas. it is very notable that the military says they're specifically targeting the palestinian he'sislamic jihad a not hamas. and hamas, though they issued statements in support, we may be hearing a fighter jet overhead right now, but though they have issued a statement saying they are supporting palestinian islamic jihad, they have made no indications that they plan to get further involved in this conflict and that will be the major point. if hamas gets involved, it completely changes the situation here to a much more serious escalation of violence. lynda? >> let's hope that doesn't happen. hadas gold in southern israel, thank you. >>> ukraine's grain exports are starting to pick up speed, raising hopes that more food could soon be on the way to those who need it most. four more grain ships left ukrainian ports this morning, loaded with close to 170,000 metric tons of food. they're headed for italy, china and turkey. the u.n. estimates that 47 million people worldwide have trouble putting

. >> islamic jihad hasn't done things in gaza, hamas does.at has hamas done during all this have? >> reporter: yeah, that's the really interesting part. hamas does run things in gaza, while they are aligned with the palestinian islamic jihad in some of their approaches, sometimes they team up in rocket launches and things like that, it was really interesting that hamas stayed out this have con conflict. they expressed support for what the jihad was doing but didn't fire rockets and didn't get involved. that's why this conflict stayed short. the israeli army made clear they were only targeting palestinian islamic jihad, didn't want to go after hamas. it felt like neither hamas or the israeli side wanted things to escalate beyond where it was going. if hamas had gotten involved it would have reached a serious new point and you would have likely seen more of a similar level of violence and conflict to what we saw last year during that really destructive 11-day war last may. >> hadas gold near the border, please keep us posted. thank you very muc

developing into something more the fact is that other palestinian factions, starting primarily from hamas, which has all the power in the gaza strip, distanced themselves, and the leader of hamas made a statement that simply called for restraint and called for hostilities stopped, he did not call for an uprising, he did not state that hamas joins the islamic group and uses its resources, in particular its rockets, to bombard israeli territory from the other side. israel really wanted to conduct a short effective operation against the icelandic tehad, it must be said that the islamic leader has this is a little special place among the palestinian movements that are armed, in particular, that is, even their environment is considered, well, it can be said that it is extremist, in addition, islamic jihad will not need help from iran if others are there the palestinian factions of fad or hamas focus on the arab countries, on turkey, or on separate political movements, such as muslim brothers, alikhan atmos muslimmiin, then the islamic jigan does not need anyone's help in this sense, it is quit

terry, the ones that are being ah, targeted by israel, we've always found is like jihad backing up hamas. and so this is how the equation really happened. despite that this leader is an islamic jihad leader that was assassinated. but how much remains to have to back islamic jihad. so even if it does not launch rockets on its own, it has allowed islamic jihad to do so. and israel has made it clear so many times saying that if, since how much is a b a dot, the power in gaza or the ruling power in gaza than it must be held responsible for any attacks that do come out of gaza, including what comes out from islamic jihad tell us about the response in terms of ordinary palestinians, what can they do when these are arrayed start of is there any way they can go that say for what, what does it want to people generally do. so basically the gaza strip does not have any shelter is it does not have any under, under ground shelters or error, anything else that people can shelter in during times of escalations or even war. so basically they do stay in their homes. they could be in so many times, and we

, which has all the power in the gaza strip, distanced themselves, and the head of hamas made a statementt simply called for restraint and called for an end to hostilities, he did not call for an uprising, he no, he did not state that hamas is joining the islamic jihad and uses its resources, in particular its rockets, to bombard israeli territory from the other side. chihan occupies such a slightly influential place among the palestinian movements and the armed ones, in particular, that is, even their environment, he is considered, well, this is what you can say extremists are, in addition, islamic jihad will not need help from the side of iran if the other palestinian factions there, fad or hamas, are oriented towards arab countries, turkey or separate political movements, such as the muslim brotherhood, the helihuana muslim , the islamic jigan, do not need anyone's help in this sense, they are quite different in their views, e.e., the way of acting, positioning inside the palestinian community and the situation would be explosive if the operation dragged on, peaceful citizens would suf

s. officials engaging with hamas, or with islamic jihad. what you are going to seeing is engagement with the palestinian authority and its president mahmoud abbas. you're going to see an engagement, of course, with the israeli government. and you're going to see engagement with other parties in the region with egypt, with jordan, with other countries that may be able to bring indirect influence upon hamas and islamic jihad. but you're not going to see the americans doing it themselves. that's just a nonstarter. look, gideon levy is a janice and a commentator at her ets, he says, israel politics on to bane these are a public is quite brainwashed and knows very little about what's going on. full days. we were told that there's thousands settlements over the both of these guys must be under a co fool because there is a danger. nobody knew what is the danger. exactly. and then all of a sudden after 3 or 4 days, israel claim that this is unbearable. i mean garza can be 16 years on the siege and this is bearable, but some towns in the south of is

and another interesting question, will hamas joint operation? egypt is putting immense pressure on hamas to stay outside for now. this is israel has conveyed the message that for the moment it is only striking islamic jihad targets all of those killed in the initial operation. a come from the ranks of these la mic jihad, so hamas under immense pressure air from egypt, especially, not to join of the operation. of course, if israel conducts an operation against design, just as one story and operation against islamic jihad than hamas, that is, of course, another story. the answer to these questions will eventually determine the fate of this latest israeli operation. in the gather, st. in this footage, you can see the moment a building and gaza was struck. israel said the leader of the militant wing of the islamic jihad movement was killed in what it described as a special operation against the group. the palestinian islamic jihad is banned in russia and recognized as a terrorist groups a warning to ears you may find the following. images disturbing

what options you think hamas has right now? i mean, obviously they won't divulge such information live on air. they will be keeping their cards close to their chest at this point. but if we can discuss what you think the options are, just tell me where you think this goes to next and do you think that it's going to, in fact it is going to escalate and, and turn into an all out war? i think they wouldn't be escalation. i don't know when or what we do know for a fact is that the israelis are preparing the southern parts of their, of their, of their settlements. that they've asked their own population to go down to the shelters. and he said they are expecting that seems pretty tightly and the beginning of the southern part of is right. so i think we know that for now, what does the meaning seniors what actor immediately or not that means to be seen? and let me, let me and electrically give our viewers around the world, just an idea of how these things have been going on for the past. several ward. so confrontations are israeli att

, which governs garza with hamas remaining on the sidelines. there was a concern that if this operation was protracted and the death toll continued to rise, that perhaps hamas might enter the fray. it appears for now that that has not happened . so co loses joining us not alive from a garza and natasha saying, bear that as far as israel's concerned. this operation is over. how are people in gaza reacting to this? hello, we are standing here in the main one in one of the main junctions in gaza. city, well known as sa, so money cars here, it's thought by us and they were asking us and like double checking is that true as doc they're going to be holding? or are those rail is going to open the crossings? you know, the, the regular questions, a logical questions that every everyone in garza is asking. they also asking about the electricity, because garza has been thinking in darkness for the 2nd day since the power stations thought. and because of the shortage, a shortage of fuel for needed for operating at the power station. so for one hour and a h

, if hamas joined these hostilities and they were then 100% prolonged, then it began to play against the current government because what a-a with on the part of the opposition, there is criticism of the current government, its approaches, and so on. and of course they would start using this situation. oleksii, we literally have a minute and a half left. in the world, yes, on different continents, in different corners, we associate the war in ukraine with the resolution by the russian federation, we know. well, if we are talking about, for example, about prime ministers, what kind of naftali ben was, er, benimov, antoniak, i 'm sorry, he was like that, you know with by the pro-russian lobby at least earlier, yes, and the influence , is it possible today to talk about the regional leadership of the federation directly by putin against the background of the war in ukraine, which will decrease more and more every time, that is, against the background of losses and losses on the armed forces of ukraine, the leader of those or other countries, in particular those that were influenced by th

now, hamas says armed groups are united in battle. azadeh moshiri, bbc news.r middle east correpondent joins me from jerusalem. what are we expecting to happen now? well, at the moment, we still have sirens warning of incoming palestinian missiles, they have been sounding in the past few minutes and some of the big israeli citizens out of the country close to gaza. there are more reports of israeli strikes endows as well with at least one killed there. the military says it is targeting the islamichhad militant group. those letters began firing their rocket after dark ring the funeral of the islamicjihad commander. at one point, the warning sirens were reaching into the suburbs of tel aviv. we are hearing from the israeli ministry that they have intercepted a number of the rockets that were fired from gaza, most of them in fact, the last figure they gave us was about 190 rockets that had been fired. this all adds up really to the most serious flare—up we have seen in the past year between israel and gaza. but so far despite the fighting talk and defiant stateme

the palestinians chose hum us and their terror ideologies over progress and prosperity. hamas quickly to cover the strip throwing the palestinian authority representatives off of roof tops. literally. that's why they're not there and spend most of their efforts and resources that seemed then on expanding their terror infrastructure in gaza. they built rocket factories next to hospitals, weapons storage sites inside schools. and doug cross border terror tunnels, underneath jewish towns. as many of you have seen in the fast hamas also is currently holding to a special needs is needs israelis, hostages in gaza. velma gustavo and he sham was sad as well as the bodies of to his rarely soldiers, hidalgo, dean and the one show old. and we are committed to doing everything to bring them back home. this choice of terror and violence over co existence and peace is the only reason. the only reason that garza is in the situation that it is now in there is no other explanation. the only remedy for the governance is that their leaders stop trying to annihilate israel and stop investing their resour

and this of course depends on what the reaction of hamas will be. and how much officials who control the gaza strip are involved in the stokes and source to say that they are in fact the ones convincing this lemming . she had to agree to the truth with israel. it was in israel and had said it was targeting baseline make you had group what, what would you think caused lead hamas to get involved? what israel is the one that decided when to launched this military operation had the upper hand and decided to launch it. and perhaps how much was not ready to go into a full fledged conflict at the moment. how much had so far said out of the equation . however, if indeed micro health has group in some of i mean at least in, in securing its members apart in the world and mitigating, come up with no interest at the moment in entering the sledge operation. or talk or conflict with advance gossip trip, which from our control is have been for long suffering, the humanitarian lesson in infrastructure. and this would have kind of brought the attention back on for m

the areas are where they're coming from, you know, into israel, where the hamas olds will fully take part, the happiness statement. and i, for all the factions, and of course, for the residents, for the civilian population in israel and the south. mainly people have to be in bomb shelters, but in garza, people have hardly recovered from the last war. in may 2021. the territory is closed off by israel and partly by egypt. and of course they have no where to go. the crossings are close. so there is a lot of worry among people that this will actually, you know, an escalade further. indeed very worrying bit tanya cray main jerusalem, thank you very much. will relations between china and the united states are increasingly strained. following the us house beacon nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. this trip enraged beijing, which is conducting air and naval drills in retaliation. now china is also imposing sanctions against pelosi and her family. beijing is a suspending cooperation with the us on issues including law enforcement and climate change. chinese missiles began striking the seas north

but i think the main reason for a hamas or staying on the sidelines is that the organization only entered a very violent confrontation with israel in may. 2021. and it still recovering from the, from the brutal israeli onslaught on the basis of the organization that simply didn't want any major escalation. right right now. and part of the reason is probably also that israel has losing some restrictions on the gaza strip . after may 2021 and hammers the doesn't want to, doesn't want to lose the so well. well, this benefit of the, of the latest confrontation right now. and there was no stand back from the german institute for international and security affairs. the european union has submitted a final tax to try and salvage the nuclear deal between iran and well powers. the possible breakthrough comes after 4 days of talks in vienna. and iranian delegation is on its way back to iran to discuss proposals. the talks involved, germany, france, britain, china, and russia. the u. s. was involved indirectly, they use as it's now up to those nations to either accept or reject the deal. the 2015 pa
