president hasan rouhani will not meet with president donald trump at this month's u.n. assembly. there was talk the two leaders would speak but a potential meeting has been derailed by attacks on saudi oil sites. the u.s. secretary of state quickly blamed iran for the weekend strikes. iran denied any involvement while its houthi allies in yemen say they are responsible claiming they hit the sites with drones. >> but some u.s. officials are skeptical about that. one shared these satellite images. they say the angle of the strikes would have been difficult from yemen and that the attacks likely originated in iran or iraq. >>> u.s. lawmakers have been weighing in on the saudi oil attacks. >> that's right. they have mixed views on whether there should be any type of military response. listen. >> i think it's safe to say that the houthis don't have the capability to do a strike like this without iranian assistance. iranian know how around technology think was certainly involved. whether the iranians directly engaged in this or through the houthi proxies is yet to be seen, bu

and us president donald trump says he's not planning to meet hasan rouhani when they're both in new york for the u.n. general assembly but as john hendren reports from washington trump's top diplomat says talks between the 2 countries are still a priority. president donald trump is sounding newly optimistic about iran tremendous progress with was made with iran so we'll see we'll see but it's all going to work out always does we get it to work out if it doesn't sometimes takes a little longer but i get things to work out the u.s. rhetoric in general on iran has taken a turn toward diplomacy the u.s. secretary of state who initially accused iran of an act of war for last week's attack that have saudi arabia's oil production now says the u.s. seeks a diplomatic solution above all we do want a peaceful resolution of this that's our objective president trying but i both want to give diplomacy every opportunity to succeed but make no mistake about it if we are unsuccessful in that and iran continues to strike out in this way i am confident the present trump will make the decisions necessary t

going to be felt much more thoroughly between both leaders joined by the iranian president also hasan rouhani now the united states has not shown great interest in the terrorist activities in libya mainly stayed to the east of the euphrates so these recent airstrikes the one yesterday in the one about a month ago raises the question why all the all the sudden interest in what's going on in the northeast especially at a time when the syrian regime had announced a unilateral cease fire a cease fire that russia and turkey were both very happy to hear of because we are seeing this engagement around start to create a mag's mass exit it's north of refugees which is putting pressure on the turkish border gates and also causing concern in europe so why this air strike at a time when this cease fire was announced that's also it is it a coincidence is it a message we don't know but on the pro side at least the americans are hitting the units this is something that russia would like to see enter he would like to see as well hopefully in the future this will be a more coordinated bilateral and trilateral

wants other leaders to stop interfering in iran's affairs and the middle east region this is what hasan rouhanihad to say when he arrived in new york. we have come to new york for the u.n. general assembly and for other meetings on the sidelines. we hope that in this very sensitive situation that we will be able to convey the message of regional peace and the end of any interference in the persian gulf and the middle east. this is a message from the great nation of iran which is under the pressure of a cruel economic war. the teacher was full audio and our nation is a nation of resistance and perseverance and we want to all sides to return to their commitments and to the loan. done in ghana middle east analyst an expert in iran joins me now in the studio for some analysis welcome don and so we heard how some rouhani then a european leader has have always accused of being too hard on iran but now this support the stance of donald trump that iran was behind those attacks on the oil facilities is it a shift in the european position on iran i think there is a difference between supporting the polic

hasan rouhani then sort of it was a bit of an olive branch he said hey if you want to do the minimum that's fine as far as the deal goes we'll come with you in there so he sort of trying to keep the deal alive but at the same time saying he doesn't seem to have much hope for it because the europeans the americans aren't on board exactly president rouhani and foreign minister zarif are really in a tough spot because they spent a lot of political capital on striking this deal bringing this deal about and of course we see that shortly after taking office president trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement. these political figures are under a lot of pressure at home to deliver and at the same time the european union has not necessarily lived up to its end of the bargain in terms of sanctions relief particularly in the ronny and banking sector so rouhani unsafe or is under some considerable pressure at home what did you think of the overall tone of president rouhani speech because on the one hand he would say things like our region is on fire and a single blunder can you know tip it all o

engage in diplomacy that's the tweet from secretary of state mike pompei of course referring to hasan rouhani the president of iran and if the foreign minister there so very strong statements from my palm peo directly pointing the finger of blame at iran and even gay but is this likely is now bringing washington and riyadh even closer together and how might that play out in terms of both their rivalry is with iran. yeah without a doubt listen this is a relationship between united states and saudi arabia that goes back nearly 75 years and it's a relationship built on a lot of things but it comes down to really to oil and weapons the u.s. of course having a huge appetite and is. and need for saudi oil for decades now and saudi having and desire and need for buying military arms from the united states nearly one 5th of all military exports of arms from the united states go to what country that's countries saudi arabia one 5th of all of the u.s. exports of military equipment so what this does is the u.s. is really worried about 2 things in the region saudi arabia tickler oil number one and then u

hasan rouhani who gave a press conference in new york just before departing to return to teheran the 1st question right out of the gate was about whether or not iran had any proof to say that it was not involved in any way in those attacks around the president of course turned that around and said that it is the accused party that those parties that are making allegations against iran must provide the proof that iran was behind it they are the ones that must provide evidence to go along with the accusation not the other way around now iran has denied any involvement in those attacks of course it has also said that yemen's hooty fighters carried out those attacks as self-defense as a form of retaliation for a saudi led war that has been ongoing against the yemeni people for many years and that is something the iranians say is the right of the yemenis to do so that are its how you tory attack was very right now in terms of the conversations that president hassan rouhani said that he had during his time at the united nations he said that he asked world leaders that were also accusing ar
