iran to respond to the u.s. decision with restraint and continue to observe its .ommitments under the jcp away 0a.ave always been -- jcp the u.k. has acted to counter iran's destabilizing behavior in the region and we will continue to do so. we remain adamant that a nuclear armed iran would never be acceptable to the united kingdom. indeed, iran's obligation not to seek, develop, or acquire nuclear weapons of years without any tone of it on the first page oh ae preamble of the jcp -- jcp oa. i have no difficulty whatever with that goal. the question is how does the u.s. propose to achieve it. now that the trump administration has left the jcp oa, the responsibility falls on them how washington will prepare a new settlement that will iran, russia, china, and countries in the region. renton stands ready to support that task. in the meantime, we will strive to preserve the games -- the gains made by the agreement. you.'s thank let me thank the foreign secretary for his statement. i'm sure there will come a time to

iran lied. big time. after signing the deal, iran intensified efforts to hide its secret nuclear files. in 2017, iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in southern tehran. this is the shorabad district. this is where they kept the atomic archives. right here. few iranians knew where it was. very few. and also a few israelis.ay . from the outside, this was an innocent looking compound. it looks like a dilapidated warehouse. but from the inside, it contained iran's secret archives -- secret atomic archives locked in massive files. actually, they are bigger than this. a few weeks ago, in a great intelligence achievement, israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. and here is what we got -- 55,000 pages. another 55,000 files on 183 cd's. everything you are about to see is an exact copy of the iranian material. you may want to know where are the originals. i can say they are now in a very safe place. here's what the files included -- incriminating documents incrim

great things can happen for iran. and great things can happen for the peace and stability that we all want in the middle east. there has been enough suffering, death, and destruction. let it end now. thank you. god bless you. thank you. >>> mr. president, how does this make america safer? how does this make america safer? >> thank you very much. this will make america much safer. thank you very much. >> is secretary pompeo bringing the detainees home? >> secretary pompeo is right now going to north korea. he will be there in virtually an hour. he has meetings set up. we have our meeting schedule. we have our meeting set. the location is picked. the time and date. everything is picked. and we look forward to having a very great success. we think relationships are building with north korea. we will see how it all works out. maybe it will. maybe it won't. but it can be a great thing for north korea, south korea, japan, and the entire world. we hope it all works out. thank you very much. >> are the americans being freed?

of iran possess. this is all on top of a well documented terror and torture that the regime has inflicted for decades on those who dissent from the regime's ideology. the iranian regime is going to ultimately have to look itself in the mirror. the iranian people, especially its youth, are increasingly eager for economic, political and social change. the united states stands with those who are longing for a country of economic opportunity, government transparency, fairness, and greater liberty. we hope, indeed we expect that the iranian regime will come to its senses and support, not suppress, the aspirations of its own citizens. we're open to new steps. not only with our allies and partners, but with iran as well. but only if iran is willing to make major changes. as president trump said two weeks ago, he's ready, willing and able to negotiate a new deal. but the deal is not the objective. our goal is to protect the american people. any new agreement will make sure iran never acquires a nuclear weapon

investment in iran. that is his main complaint. the united states is not asking europe to invest in iran. that is the key to the whole iran deal. now that we are -- again, europe was afraid to go in to the iran deal because of u.s. secondary sanctions. they are key because the islamic revolution regard corps -- revolutionary guard corps. irgc backed out of the economic sanctions on the domestic front and the economy, again, the rgc budget tripled. the iranian protesters complain squandered the benefits of the jcpoa. we would still have an iran deal. they have been using this money, you are arguing, for a proxy war in yemen, in syria against israel, without the iran deal in place, is there a risk that the united states gets dragged into these proxy wars? guest: i have been hearing what russia is saying about this you had european countries yesterday condemning iran's 20-missile barrage on israel. urging both sides to stop. but there was a message. this will not be tolerated. we cannot back you up, iran, i

iran supports terrorism. iran has ballistic missiles. iran tramples on human rights. as the leader said, no one doubts that iran is a bad player. the question is, how do you answer it? yes, there are some parts of a jcpoa that are problematic. but how do you fix them? do you fix them by staying in the deal? or do you fix them by walking away from the deal? i think it's clear that if you want to fix them, you stay in the deal and try to get others who are in the deal to work with us. we needed to work with our partners to extend the life of the deal because the sunset provision were problematic. we need to work with our partners to dial up pressure on iran. we walk away now. we have no pressure. instead of iran being isolated, the united states is isolated. we've lost all leverage. we've lost the goodwill of our partners. it seems to me that at this particular time, walking away from this deal is the worst thing we could do. we've also lost credibility on the world stage. at a time when we're going into serious negotiations with north korea. who would want to negotiate

and iran impossible and i think donald trump has essentially become the amen version inside of iran's politics now where it is going to be borderline impossible for any iranian official to go into a national security council meeting and argue with any kind of veracity and accuracy that iran can do business with this so this is what makes it even more important for the europeans the russians the chinese the indians the japanese the south koreans the rest of the world to really step up and prevent the donald trumps and the john bolton's and the might pomp ayos from achieving for what they've been the last thing after for so long now they've said it in their own words regime change in war for i do believe that the white house is actively pursuing regime change in iran and would that even be possible. it is not going to be possible they have been they the reaming vision change for about forty years since the one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution. it is not going to be possible but if you look at the hearing that mike. had for his secretary of state confirmation he was asked thi

trade with iran.unlike the united states they have companies that for many years, since our own unilateral sanctions went into effect many years ago, they have had trading relations with iran. they like making money on iran. the companies see a market they can do business in. so long as they can come up with parameters that kept the united states in the deal, kept the united states secondary sanctions as they are called which would apply to their companies and their banks from saying off, that can continue. what were the 3 leader that i had declared, similar to its fatima, that it would never develop nuclear weapons, they would limit range with her missiles to 2000 km. guess where the negotiations came on ballistic missiles? anything over a 2000 km missile tests, a missile capable of traveling farther than 2000 km, would win international sanctions would anything in their existing arsenal would not so iran gets to keep the delivery mechanisms michael told you about. with regard to inspections, one of

she has been locked up up inside iran. she has been locked upfor up inside iran.han two years, she faces a five—year jail sentence up for more than two years, she faces a five—yearjail sentence for plotting against the regime at a trial which the british government saw as completely unjust and unacceptable, and now we have the iranian attorney general saying that a second case filed against this woman is still open and her sentence might even be elongated. if the iranians need the europeans, why on earth would they be doing this sort of thing? we always have had other disputes on human rights, on the peace process, on weapons of mass destruction, on regional issues. this is not only one case, therefore we need to have a broader dialogue between iran and the eu, like the model they use for the deal. jcpoa really is a good model because only one of the disputes between iran and the european union and the us and international community... it is about trust though. it is about trust, isn't it? yeah, it is about trust. but how can the europeans trust. but how can the e

iran lied. big time. after signing the nuclear deal in 2015, iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear files. in 2017 iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in tehran. this is the district in southern tehran. this is where they kept the atomic archives, right here. few iranians knew where it was. very few. and also a few israelis. now from the outside this was an innocent looking compound. it looks like a dilapidated warehouse. but from the inside, iran's secret archives locked in massive files. actually they're bigger than this. a few weeks ago in a great intelligence achievement israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. and here's what we got. 55,000 pages. another 55,000 files on 183 cds. everything you're about to see is an exact copy of the original iranian material. you may want to know where are the originals. well, i can say they're now in a very safe place. here's what the files included. incriminating documents, incriminating charts,

and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran or combine that ticket and we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions further violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles. iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of their being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost interchangeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east remains of people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing the do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s. embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem shuttled for the fourteenth of may the day the israeli state was declared seventy years ago maintain that final boundaries within jerusalem were up for

in the iran deal, would join up and work with iran on energy.ified about the president's decision. five republican senators met with president trump earlier today about the trade relationship with china. that plays a role head of the north korea talks as well. so many moving parts and a situation that has had increased volatility in the oil market. marty, what are the chances that other countries not just china but russia would take over in fill the gap that the u.s. leaves? that would be very difficult for those countries to negotiate. any company or government that does business with iran whether it be china or russia or any european countries would face secondary sanctions. difficulty, given and process. they would have to seek waivers, and i cannot think this president is intending to continue business with iran. that would be a difficult thing to pull off. amanda: one of the original motivations for this accord was to increase a level of scrutiny on nuclear armament and nuclear of places- capacity like iran. how does this change that? marty

countries for dealing with iran. they use also trying to protect its own companies now because the sanctions. unilaterally imposed by the united states and trump also threaten that other countries would be affected by this know that you would come up with some measures to work around this and some models you can apply it to protect your own companies from this and the last weeks and months we will see that that you words to try to do that so that the u.s. sanctions will not be as fit as effective as they have been when they've applied internationally let's go to washington where we join correspondent declare richest and pledge just to flesh out some of that sound bite that we heard from donald trump what is the u.s. proposing. clever sorry if i didn't hear that question all right so we have just heard donald trump say that the united states is going to be withdrawing from the iran deal which is a momentous decision in u.s. foreign policy the treasury's going to start implementing ninety and one hundred eighty day win

iran deal. bad dealhis is a because we didn't make any money off of it. i was a former political officer. it's not a bad deal because we aren't making any money off of it, he said it's a bad deal because iran is an aggressive actor. had an increased his ballistic missile launch and wouldn with his militia probably have an iran deal with the president not cable of giving an argument that iran is an actor you can't trust. clicks in washington, a republican. -- >> in washington, a republican. >> i support our president 100%, except maybe his ego. but he is a strategic player. i'm going to play devil's advocate. caa --derstand it, our article.wrote an was elected by their rainy and people democratically at the time to string up the mess between the british ,etroleum company contract which was only giving iran 3% or less of the oil profits. he was democratically elected and our deep state decided it was more beneficial to the u.s. to put a dictator in place to help our industrial complex. while i lov

statesreement clearly iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons. unequivocal statement. ensure iran- and to never does, this agreement provided for ongoing inspections. they were not just inspecting obvious places. they were inspecting the entire supply chain that iran would have to go to to make a weapon. secretary of energy under obama has received recognition for his expertise. he sat at the table because he knew what would take to develop a nuclear weapon. he put into the agreement that president trump is walking away from the kind of access for inspection gives us the insurance that iran could not cheat. anyone who argues that iran could build a weapon under this agreement is simply wrong. each time, i asked what his experience had been in iran. if your inspectors want to go through a certain door or inside a certain facility. where you stopped by a ron -- iran? stoppedme that if we they opened the door. that iran repeatedly was in compliance with the theear agreement and that inspectors were able to resolve any areas wher

out of the iran nuclear deal.mp signed a presidential memorandum reinstating sanctions against iran after calling the agreement a quote, horrible, one-sided deal that did not bring peace and never will. in an address before signing that document, trump called iran the leading state sponsor of terror. trump had previously resisted lobbying from the seven other signatories to the deal, insisting that it had to be changed to keep the u.s. on board. let's listen in to part of what the u.s. president had to say just a few hours ago. >> at the heart of the iran deal was a giant fiction that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program. today, we have definitive proof that this iranian promise was a lie. brent: all right. we have team coverage of this story tonight. we want to go first to clear richardson in washington. -- claire richardson. what was the biggest take away from this announcement today? clare: there is a lot to unpack in what was truly perhaps the most monumental foreign-policy decisio

brave people of iran. islamic iran. you know i'm not sure we missed. him he would be very important historic experience about how more. according to what was said forty years ago. and we have kept repeating the same thing on iran and what and that was the iran daughter for can accomplish its agreements. called cash value and the us a is a country or daughter which has never. kept his promises. for two years experience history and even the past time has shown us that milat it was the us has got. no respect for. countries in the region and have been hostile towards them. you can tell. from the. look. you can tell from. a lot of action on i could attack against. the presidency and the regime. support of saddam. so yeah how. about he he also. managed to shut down because he. and you rain in. past just killing innocent people. also have done a lot of bad things against people in afghanistan iraq and yemen. and other people in the. middle east and north africa that. they have done the same thing against other nations in the war. americans announced tonight a

the iran nuclear deal was built on iran's lies on the issue. at a minimum the revelations will increase pressure for stronger inspections and verification measures and perhaps even a precise target for iaea, but the revelations also make it much more likely that the administration will scrap the nuclear deal entirely. given the crumbling foundations of this agreement, should the u.s. walk away or should they try to fix the agreement? to answer these and other questions for we are fortunate to have with us today a panel of distinguished experts including richard goldberg, a foundation of defensive democracies and Élan berman of the american foreign policy council. i will introduce them each in turn, but our first speaker is michael rubin. he is a resident scholar of the american enterprise institute and a former iran desk officer in the office of the secretary of defense. he's a senior lecturer at the naval postgraduate school department of state affairs and a foreign studies office. in addition to his policy work he has authored a number of boo

in iran. and unemployment there. they are not exactly spending the money that they got from the iran nuclear deal on filling potholes and infrastructure and creating jobs. it has been spent a lot on military and ballistic missiles. and there may be problems internally for iran so the outreached hand may be something they pick up on. >> dana: i'm thinking about the european ally that have been through town to try to get the president to change his mind. they were not successful. surely they were watching the president's speech just now. there is not a lot of room, in my opinion, for them to go on their own to do this deal with iran without the united states. he was extremely clear. there is not any sort of gray area here. he is saying that the sanctions and more -- he said, "sanctions and more" will be placed on iran because of their activities. >> it's cut and dry. tell me a european country or a multinational company that wants to do business in an iran that is now facing the prospect of july

out of the iran's nuclear deal trump signed a presidential memorandum reinstating sanctions against iran after calling the agreement quote a horror. one sign a deal that didn't bring peace and never will in an address before signing that document trump called iran the leading state sponsor of terror trump had previously resisted lobbying from the seven other signatories to the deal insisting that it had to be changed to keep the u.s. on board let's listen in to part of what the u.s. president had to say just a few hours ago at the heart of the iran deal was a giant fiction that a murder's regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program today we have definitive proof that this arabian promise was a lie all right we have team coverage of this story tonight we want to go first suit claire richardson she is in washington but richard is in brussels force good evening to both of you claire i'll ask you what was the biggest takeaway from this announcement today. hi brant there's a lot to unpack in what was a truly perhaps the most monumental foreign policy decision that we've seen in gene

threat to pull out of the iran nuclear deal iran destabilizes this entire region that supports proxy militias and terrorist groups. it is an arms dealer to the who the rebels. and iran conducts cyber action kept dates. that supports the murderous assad regime as well compares arrival in riyadh followed a barrage of eight ballistic missiles fired into saudi territory by hooty fighters in yemen the u.s. and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran or combine that ticket and we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions further violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles. iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of their being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost interchangeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle ea

iran has two armies. there is a standing conventional force that fought the iraqis and it has a clerical army knowing as the islamic revolutionary which are -- for lack of a better explanation -- this is the varsity. these are the guys who control the ballistic missile arsenal, the nuclear arsenal, expeditionary terrorist acts abroad, things like that. the revolutionary guard has been instrumental in establishing a third foreign legion for the iranians, made up of shiites from afghanistan, shiites from pakistan and syria, that they have deployed into the syrian space and the scope of this legion varies, the u.s. intelligence community estimates that it is roughly 40,000 estimate the israelis it at double that, 80,000 or 82,000 fighters. you haveer you stack, to understand this is a significant threat and significant force multiplier. it is something that will need to be addressed by the u.s. military and by our allies as we begin to think strategically about this. ticket item that we need to think about i

would pull out of the iran nuclear deal. he called the agreement a one-sided deal that should have never been made. this is about 15 minutes. president trump: my fellow americans. today, i want to update the world on our efforts from preventing iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. the iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terror. it exports dangerous missiles, fuels conflicts across the middle east, and supports terrorist proxies and militias such as hezbollah, hamas, the taliban and al qaeda. over the years, iran and its proxies have bombed american embassies and military installations, murdered hundreds of american service members, and kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured american citizens. the iranian regime has funded its long reign of chaos and terror by plundering the wealth of its own people. no action taken by the regime has been more dangerous than its pursuit of nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them. in 2015, the previous administration joined with other nations in a deal regarding iran's nuclear

iran is complying with that info. yes, there are other important matters the most be addressed, its regional activities, plastic missile programs and its record on human rights but the foundation on which arrangements could be reached was the nuclear deal. instead, by seeking other deals donald trump has destroyed the future progress and will trigger a nuclear andres in the middle east any power to the iran and pushing them back to isolation. donald trump is taking all those risks without a single care and without the slightest justification without the simplest rational thought as to what will come next. in doing so he is also sending a message to north korea that any agreement reached with the us will be worthless. and while we can talk all day about the recklessness and idiocy of what trump is done the key question is this -- how shall world react? three challenges. firstly, the challenge for the other signatories about how to best preserve the deal. britain, france, germany, china, russia, this is urgent and finan

most of iran's 80 million citizens have sadly never known an iran that prospered in peace with its neighbors and commanded the admiration of the world. t the future of iran belongs to its people. they are the rightful heirs to a rich culture and an ancient land. and they deserve a nation that does justice to their dreams, honor to their history and glory to god. iran's leaders will naturally say that they refuse to negotiate a new deal, they refuse. and that's fine. i'd probably say the same thing if i was in their position. but the fact is, they are going to want to make a new and lasting deal. one that benefits all of iran and the iranian people. when they do, i am ready, willing and able. great things can happen for iran and great things can happen for the peace and stability that we all want in the middle east. there has been enough suffering , death and destruction. let it end now. thank you. god bless you. thank you. reporter: mr. president, how does this make america safer? how does this make america safer? [inaudible] president trump: thank you very much. this will make america much

iran does iran have any recourse they are i mean europe cannot pick up the slack if the u.s. cuts off all financial sources for tehran. you know this is it goes back to what we heard just earlier and i totally agree with that sentiment today's speech was not about what are we going to be able to have a better new clear agreement coming forward in the next few weeks unless that's really not intentions behind it out and spent what president truong and his key advisers some of whom include very hawkish voices on the question ironically had a national security council john bolton and you say your state might be a these are heartened anti iran voices didn't stumble into this issue yesterday in ways that president trump that because it was a campaign promise they have been at this for decades stay don't want to see the syrian regime in place and now if you're sitting in europe what does that tell you that tells you this is not really about a nuclear agreement this is about an american administration that wants regime change i what do europeans need to do is to convince themselves d

then they would push iran to leave the deal but iran is a member of non—proliferation treaty.proliferation treaty. the main criteria is non—proliferation treaty. as long as iran is going to be member of non—proliferation treaty, as long as iran is going to permit the iaea inspectors to visit its nuclear programme based on safeguards and iaea regulations, therefore, why there should be a war? and the other members of npt, 180 members of npt, they are already complying with safeguard agreements foreseen in iaea regulations... let's quickly move on, we don't have much time, to syria. after the trump announcement, we then saw tensions rise very rapidly inside syria, notably between israel and iran. the iranian forces, and there are believed to be 30,000 or so personnel directly answerable to tehran inside syria, they fired some rockets towards the occupied golan heights. in return, the israeli airforce launched strikes against a whole series of iranian military targets. how worried is the tehran government right now about spiralling direct military confrontation with israel? i bel

is withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal trump said that he will reinstate sanctions against iran and add the highest of economic sanctions as well blasted the obama administration for signing a deal that he described as rotten to the core and he said that the u.s. will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail now his decision follows through on a campaign promise that he made to voters and it flies in the face. of america's european allies for weeks now leaders including the french president and the german chancellor have been lobbying mr trump to stick with the deal even if it means trying to negotiate renegotiate some of its terms or tehran has been clear that there will be no new negotiations adding that any violation of the agreement by washington would kill the deal there have also been warnings that the end of the agreement would trigger an immediate resumption of iran's nuclear weapons research and that is where we have arrived on this tuesday may we have complete coverage of the united states reneging on a deal that it crafted with its own friends and foes alike here is how t

do business with iran iran will not get the economic benefits and then that is likely to encourage the iranians to completely pull out of this deal and restart their nuclear program and mean that diplomacy slides away and we look towards yet more military conflict in the middle east what about the wider consequences for diplomacy this decision comes at a time when the child administration is trying to track a tackle the nuclei ization on the korean peninsula how does this affect the the u.s. position and their credibility in trying to achieve that. well i think it makes it potentially more difficult because north korea wants to come up with a binding deal with the u.s. not just on its nuclear program but it wants a guarantee that they'll no never be any regime change they'll be a sort of norm aggression deal with the united states and many diplomats here are saying would you really trust the united states now after you've seen president trump tear off a deal that the u.s. was central in negotiating its interesting that might prompt the u.s. secretary of state is now on his way again to

pulling out of the iran deal means that the u.s. will be in violation of the iran deal. the president did not explicitly say there that iran was in violation of the deal, but he sort of turned the whole purpose of the deal on its head, saying that the jcpoa allowed iran to pursue nua nuclear weapon. >> this will make america much safer. >> this will make america much safer is what the president -- >> secretary pompeo is headed to iran and iran -- korea, we have our meeting set, the location is picked, the time and the date, everything is picked. and we look forward to having great success, we think relationships are building with north korea. we'll see how it all works out. maybe it will, maybe it won't. but it can be a great thing for north korea, south korea and jar japan and the entire world. >> are the americans being freed? >> are the americans being released? >> we'll all soon be finding out. we will soon be finding out. it would be a great thing if they are. we'll soon be finding out. thank you very much. >> donald trump being vague on other things as he normally

iran must release all u.s. citizens as well as citizens of 0 your partners and allies, each of them detained on spurious charges. iran must end support to middle east terrorist groups bug middle east hezbollah, hamas and palestinian-islamic jihad. iran must respect the sovereignty of the iraqi government and permit remobilization and reintegration of shia militias. and must end support of the houthi militia and work for a peaceful settlement in yemen. iran must withdraw all forces under iranian command throughout the entirety of syria. iran, too, must end support for the taliban and other terrorist groups in the region and cease harboring senior al qaeda leaders. iran, too, must end the rig forces for terrorists and militant partners around the world and, too, iran must end its threatening behavior against its neighbors, many of whom are u.s. allies,this includes are the threats to israel and missiles in the united arab emirates and end cyber attacks. the list is pretty long, but if you look at it these are 12

getting nuclear weapons he also did refer to iran's ballistic missile program now this is iran's program of ballistic missiles that it uses for self-defense or according to donald trump these ballistic missiles could be armed with nuclear weapons potentially if iran were to develop and carry out nuclear proliferation so based on that he announced that the usa will with. draw from the nuclear deal and that the usa would be reinstating the nuclear sanctions against iran and it would be the highest level of international sanctions now this is certainly a huge turn from what we saw under the obama administration where the deal was signed a huge amount of sanctions on iran were lifted so donald trump is fulfilling his campaign promise it appears that he did announce that he is indeed ripping up the iran nuclear deal as he said he would do many times on the campaign trail now it'll be interesting to see now it's also important to note in donald trump's speech he did make reference to his upcoming meeting with kim jong un the leader of north korea so that with that that's interesting he did ind

iran doesn't iran give what most of its leverage. if there if you are going to be negotiations i think the iranians will have to reconstitute the leverage that the loss. that's what we're likely to get into another cycle of isolation is is to completely collapses. at the end of the day north korea has a security guarantor. iran doesn't. that's with is another rift, which i think if the europeans manage to keep the deal alive with china and russia, and those who were seeking to kill the deal, and do not succeed, their plan b might be to raise tensions in the region so that there is more friction between iran and the u.s., in yemen and syria, iran, u.s. and its allies by the way, not just the u.s. in this way we move for some kind of confrontation that within make assisting the deal between the europeans and iranians an impossibility. the last point i make is the lessons, people most talked about the lessons the north koreans would learn from this experience with the iran deal. i'm more worried about the lessons that iranians learned f

nuclear deal israel accused iran of firing rockets on the golan heights which israel occupies so iran says those claims are baseless israel responded by striking dozens of iranian positions in syria the two sides have exchanged hostile rhetoric for years but now there are signs of an open military conflict putting the region on edge we have a lot to get to with our guests but first harry fawcett reports from the occupied golan heights. cockpit video from israeli warplanes is they carried out the largest and most prolonged air strike in syria since the start of its civil war israel says it hit dozens of iranian military targets as well as five syrian anti-aircraft installations israel says it was a response after iranian forces launched twenty rockets at israeli targets in the occupied golan heights we have made it very clear that we are here to defend ourselves those who started this round of violence were the ring ins who attacked israel we responded accordingly and we are now waiting to see how the iranians will respond israeli forces in the occupied golan heights were on alert for

may be thousands of kilometers away from iran syria. syria and iran countries that are right. in the four winds of a host who. no one thinks the deal is perfect but european leaders argue that it's better than nothing if iran is to be prevented from developing nuclear weapons and cancelling the agreement would split the west down the middle. it's our job as europeans and as signatories to try everything we can to keep it you know together with the with the chinese and the russia's this is one of the side effects of what trump is doing pushing this to the arms of the chinese and the russians trumps decision will also have economic implications for both iran and germany but they pale in comparison with the fears that if the deal is scrapped it could cause a nuclear arms race in the middle east. all right so our correspondents i mean young is here at the big table to help me and practice tori plus the iran expert at none how about high he joins us from our studios in bonn to both of you gentleman good evening simon the new u.s. ambassador to germany richard grinnell he posted a t
