as you know the broader role of iran in the region analysts say while checking iran's behavior is important the trumpet ministration is taking a risk i would hope that there would be more evidence put forward in general and for that matter for that's really obvious it's important she claims to have evidence evidence for that haley made it clear the u.s. is doing what needs to be done for the sake of national security you will see us build a coalition to really push back against iran and what they're doing well i warning to tell han at least for now on supply cross alone jordan al-jazeera washington and . ok let's bring in our panel from tehran for what is a professor of well studies at the university of tehran is specializes in u.s. iran relations via skype from geneva john locke rickly head of global risk at the geneva sense of a security policy from washington d.c. i've seen a ron alice of the instructional crisis great welcome all of you gentleman for if i can start with you the u.s. says this is concrete evidence that it now has that iran is supplying weapons to the fighters in the yeme

a nuclear iran? transparency is important. i agree with everybody that are iran needs to be watched very, very skeptically. why would we want to be with iran exactly where we are with north korea? is this effort, which in my opinion is simply a continuation of the efforts to end the iran deal, to reverse president obama's legacy? is it worth going to bed at night not just worried about north korea but iran? i would suggest that it's not. i don't want to go back to the pre-iran deal era when i became an expert on hardened bunkers and the weapons we use to penetrate hardened bunkers and if we had to go to war against iran to prevent a nuclear iran, the consequences would be as awful as if we went to war with north korea to prevent a north korea nuclear weaponized state. why would we do this and put at given deal that has depf comfort? eight, nine years from now, let's revisit this -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. himes: this deal is not a perfect dea

demonstrations in cities across iran the biggest in nearly a decade protests say prices are too high and the government's corrupt in two thousand and nine unrest was met with a minister crackdown so how will the government deal with the people's today this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. death or freedom it's a chant that was heard around iran this week but angry of the high cost of basic goods the price of eggs for example has gone up forty percent in just six months some iranians say it's time for the government to focus on domestic issues and to forget syria and forget but a sign these protesters hope the iran nuclear deal in two thousand and fifteen would ease their financial struggles most international sanctions were lifted but life for many iranians has not improved government critics say the economic benefits of the deal haven't been passed on because of mismanagement and alleged corruption and the budget announced this month cuts vital social welfare programs while giving more money to religious and revolutionaries to. more than fifty arrests were reported

aircraft to iran. in 2016 the treasury department authorized the export of more than 200 aircraft to identify ran air, iran's state-owned air carrier. yet we know that iran air has been the transporter of choice for iran's revolutionary guards as they have ferried weapons systems around the middle east. the absurdity of this deal to i crease the revolutionary guards' capacity to remove weapons is self-evident. the bill before us today will require certification by financeers of the aircraft exportation deals that none of the aircraft exported will be used for terrorism or iran's weapons of mass destruction program. due to iran air's continued role in transporting materials used for terrorism, this one step that we should take to help hold lending institutions accountable for their support of aircraft exports to iran. mr. speaker, many of us in congress know how bad the iran deal was for our security and our allies' security. that is why there was bipartisan opposition to the deal last congress. while i

he is very anti—iran. steve always had this thing for iran.is a justification for being critical of the iranian regime, and particular of not wanting them to get nuclear weapons. but it is the idea of a huge conflict between iran and saudi. what you want to try to do is to prevent that from happening. but what is the alternative? to happening. but what is the alternative ? to go happening. but what is the alternative? to go to war against iran? it has a huge arsenal of missiles, also it has military wings like hezbollah in lebanon, so they can actually create a lot of problems. that is why the europeans are very reserved when it comes to iranians policy. there is a nuclear deal, signed after a brutal and lengthy negotiation. now, trump is then he will not accept this. what is the alternative? there is scepticism about this deal, about whether it would prevent iran from getting nuclear capability. so there isa getting nuclear capability. so there is a legitimate and justifiable school of thought that says the iran deal was a mistake, and that w

and iran is so iran is subject to the to the inspections and to the regulations of the n.p.t. what we have seen that actually while it was a member of n.p.t. they cheated and broken every and violated every commitment that they had israel does not have any commitments or obligations and simply this is the core of our national security policy because of the situation we are in treaty do national israel does have the same legal obligations iran does well precisely because israel is outside of the n.p.t. it makes it very difficult for israel to. this size the i.a.e.a. and their inspections of iran and what iran is doing would you essentially are saying is that the rest of the region is at the mercy of the goodwill of the israeli government the same argument that you falsely used against iran there's not a single report by the i.a.e.a. pointing out that israel's nuclear program is peaceful so the fact that the iranians have now signed this agreement is in allowing all of these inspections inside of their program is really putting israel in a very very uncomfortable position in whi

that is what we're talking about that is what iran is actively supporting. what is most revealing is what is not here. a short range ballistic missile missing the large stabilizer fins typically present on these kinds of missiles. the iranian missile is the only known short-range missile in the world that lacks such a stabilizer fin to include the nine vowels that you can see running along the length of the missile those are essentially the fingerprints on your walk through you also see missile debris stamped with the logo of an iranian manufacturer. path put those are just two of the evidence stating its origins made in iran been given to militants in yemen and fired at a civilian airport with a potential to kill hundreds of innocent civilians in saudi arabia. you will see more than that in this warehouse there is material from the anti-a guided missile with a range of over 2 miles and can destroy tanks and even buildings. material from an unmanned aerial vehicle known as a kamikaze drone to take down radar sites and materials from the explosive boat with a

he wanted to turn the region over to iran, yet iran has been advancing. while this administration has a very tough rhetorical position against iran, it has done very little on the ground in the first ten months to stop further iranian successes and we've had a series of them in the last several months, largely in reaction to mistakes by our allies. so why is it so hard? several reasons. first of all, look how iran operates. it doesn't challenge conventionally like saddam hussein did, but rather it infiltrates other countries, playing off of bad governance, failed states, ungoverned areas, terrorist groups. either they support or they use as an excuse to go in. they have people who know the region very well. they have a long-term strategy. it is all organized and supports each other. lebanon, yemen, syria, iraq, tomorrow ba rain and afghanistan. this requires a comprehensive response throughout the region with both us and our allies because we're not going to do this with hundreds of thousands of troops, and that gets to the problems with our allies. as we

that's what iran is actively supporting. what is most revealing about this missile is what is not here. this is a short-range ballistic missile. it's missing the large stabilizer fins that are typically present on these kinds of missiles. the iranian missile is the only known short-range ballistic missile in the world that lacks and includes nine vowels that you will see running along the length of the missile. those vowels are essentially raining fingerprints. you will also see missile debris stamped with the logo of an iranian manufacture. those are just two of the many pieces of evidence that tell us of this missile's iranian origins. it was made and iran and then sent to houthi militants in yemen. from there was sent from a airport with the potential to kill hundreds of innocent civilians in saudi arabia. you will see more than that. in this warehouse there is material from an antitank guided missile. such missiles have a range of over two miles and can destroy tanks and even buildings. you will see material from an unma

iran can retaliate. and article 37 with the process, and the veto in the un and leads to a un resolution essentially saying continue this agreement and if you veto it the agreement basically dies, the human aspect die which is tantamount to killing it so there are powerful tools we have in this ten year period but at the end of ten years president obama admitted it is a different ballgame and we have to figure out what to do then. >> i largely agree with. let me make three points some of which goes to senator king's question. which is first, the jcp oa was inadequate dealing with past military dimensions of iran's activity. they closed the file on that without going to the bottom of the issues that had been raised in the november 2011 report that outlined all the different problems. more than ten countries intelligence services had provided evidence about with regard to military activities. without that as a baseline it is difficult to verify the agreement. the provisions of the jcp oa itself were far fr

behavior in order to deal with iran. what you see from iran is a reaction to this mr you made the iranian physician pretty clear and i think it is not just iran that finds the actions or statements of the current american president quite disagreeable but i'm particularly that's why i'm particularly interested in what you make of the russian treatment of don't trust because i do think it's actually very very patient at least when you combine into account of how russia usually reacts to the united states how do you read it what do you think is most to pursuing in this sort of keep go off approach to donald trump well i believe russia has a prudent foreign policy and is pursuing its interests and i usually do not think gauge interfering in the internal or external affairs of other countries would agree that their strategic considerations also impact your position because everything in the world especially in the middle is this closely interlinked do you think there is any benefit iran to russia trying to play these sort of

iran's nuclear power and this reason as well as iran's missile power and iran's regional clout the first time they tried this an area was when. the israelis produced laptop documents and transferred it to the german intelligence agencies through the old the armed opposition of iran the terrorist organization and the according to american investigative journalism journalist. porter the chief of the intelligence community in berlin rejected the documents as soon as he saw it and said that it was a forgery so after a year they presented it to the u.s. officials and the u.s. officials agreed with that and verified that they were genuine why in order to demonize iran in order to promote iran a full be a throughout the world and to rally international support for sanctions it worked then but now it doesn't work because iran has been complying with the nuclear deal and the u.s. has been defined it's on the takings on the you know if you're going to russia china and many u.n. officials all now they are trying the program is just. point isn't it because how dangerous is it to actually sabotage th

an intentional effort to discourage international investment in iran, which would be viewed by iran and likely by the major world powers who joined us in the jcpoa as well as a violation of the u.s. expressed commitment under the nuclear deal not to interfere with the full realization of the relief provided to iran under the accord. when an identical version of this bill was considered last congress, the obama white house threatened to veto the bill stating that it would endanger iran's nuclear program is and remains scluse i havely peaceful. mover, the obama administration cautioned that the report called for in the bill would also compromise intelligence sources and methods. on that score, i would also note that the reporting requirement in the legislation calls for information about how sanctions, evasion and illicit conduct is practiced and potential countermeasures. it seems far from prudent to give tips to our adverse areas about how we learned about their misconduct and how we plan to respond. this legislation would have very limited practical utility despite the diversion of

nuclear deal because they do understand that iran. will not be able to develop a nuclear weapons you know for the next i have them and i mean that you know i mean there are a lot of different takes on that robbie's point was that well it's only a limited period of time then after that iran is free to do what it wants and that's a bad deal well i mean no i mean a nuclear weapon is not a bad deal for say but of course you know there is no infinite infinity in international agreements anyways but for the foreseeable future iran will not be able to produce a nuclear weapon and you also mentioned the i guess basically confirmation on that matter and secondly the problem is that you can criticize the iran nuclear deal that it's not enough because it didn't address iranian regional policies which is a fair point the but the problem is that the need to know government and also israel has not much credibility on this issue because they are themselves a nuclear power and outside of the n.p.t. so there should be some kind of arrangement beyond t

all of these weapons include parts made in iran, some by iran's government-run defense industry. all are proof that iran has defined the international community, and not just one time. this evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior in which iran sows conflict and extremism in direct violation of u.n. security council resolutions. in just a minute, laura seal from our defense department will walk you through the items gathered here and explain their connection to the tehran regime. we welcome a thorough examination of this material, not just by members of the press here today, but by the international community. several countries will be sending delegations here to view this material in the next few days. some have already been here. we are inviting the entire u.n. security council to see it for themselves. and we are inviting all members of congress to view it. this evidence is part of what has led the u.s. intelligence community to conclude unequivocally that these weapons were supplied by the iranian regime. the evidence is undeniable. the weapons might as well have had "made

than to iran. i think the president sees this as an opportunity, boris, to put iran in that box and to take its domestic issues and make them a broader global geopolitical issue. >> i want to shift the conversation back to domestic politics and look ahead to next month. the president set to host congressional leaders at camp david the first week of the new year, keeping the government funded probably going to be a topic of conversation, but lynn, what are the biggest hurdles for a budget deal right now? is it daca, the wall, potentially an infrastructure bill? >> well, linkage of daca to any other piece of legislation is what i think we should be looking out for. the proponents of helping the d.r.e.a.m.ers, the youths in the united states, illegally through no fault of their own, it would be ideal. but only in the abstract to have a stand-alone bill, but this is too valuable a piece of legislation for the republicans in congress and for president trump not to use it to leverage something. so, i wou

in a move to garner international pressure on iran the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has shifted attention from tehran's nuclear deal to its ballistic missile program nikki haley produced pieces of a short range weapon during a presentation claiming that it was made in a room and fired by hutu rebels in yemen a saudi arabia we have said multiple times that this is not just about the nuclear program this is about everything else they're doing because iran believes that they have been given a pass this evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior in which iran says conflict and extremism in direct violation of u.n. security council resolutions this is from the last two attacks that we saw. coming from yemen and so this is very recent this is not all these just happen and so that is the reason why we have that concern the nuclear deal is not something that we're focused on now is focusing on the threat that iran is posing as we know it the u.s. so long with saudi arabia accuser run of supplying weapons to yemen's hooty rebels however the u.n. which has studied missile deb

iran has always had good relations with the cuban revolution sanctions good for iran apart from says civil aviation of course but dissensions made countries stronger in their kind of drops in the sea. if a country makes clever political decisions than they would be able to turn the sanctions imposed on them into a golden opportunity to develop their nation and to rely upon themselves the developments that have taken place in iran whilst under sanctions may not have ever happened when if sanctions were not imposed on it in iran is one of five leading nations in terms of their scientific developments. and we believe that sanctions on russia could benefit them of course russia is a very strong nation and it's a superpower if you so the sanctions against russia by the u.s. . in some european nations will only make russia more independent and even cuba and other nations like finish off free and sovereign nations and they don't want to be on the americans controlled. kind of a grand ayatollah shaikh was an iraqi thank you very much. and that's it for one of your favorite shows of the seaso

iran, of course, was a big concern. although, i think over the years that has increased to the point where you remember tom friedman called it and obsession. i don't know whether anybody here in this room has seen the video that's just come out. if you've seen that of a saudi attack on iran, i tell you it is mind-boggling. i don't know quite the origin of that and why. it is worrisome. what it is, it is a mockup, all-digital, about an attack by iran on some saudi planes. and an attack by saudi arabia, not only on planes but on the country. on the capital, which is really something. i think the iran factor has increased over these years. on palestine, i did not meet with anybody out there during my years when the first subject was not palestine, and our policy since our lack of help on that, i was interested in your meeting with nbs and you said -- did not want to talk about jerusalem. i guess you asked him. i don't think that would have been the case when i was there. on the other hand, i have seen a couple of other sta

or with iran more generally? >> reporter: that's not entirely clear. what is clear is the president has formed pretty strong relationships with all of iran's traditional opponents, whether it's improving our relationship with israel, improving relationships with saudi arabia and the gulf states. so this white house has done an encirclement, almost, of iran, in strengthening iran's traditional antagonists. to what ends, to where you find the opportunity to take advantage of that and maybe reach out a hand down the line is not entirely clear, but what has been clear is the isolation of iran by surrounding it with strong allies now to the united states, particularly, think about that very first foreign trip to saudi arabia and to these middle eastern arab states, trying to firm up those alliances to stand against iran, potentially. >> garrett, great to speak with you. thank you very much for the update. garrett haake in west palm beach, florida, traveling with the president on his holiday vacation. >>> we want to up
