behavior people may be unhappy in iran but they've been unhappy in iran for a long time and they mostly seem to be unhappy with america america finds itself in sanaa in the isolates and that may be a good political point for the president in the run up to the election but certainly if you look at the international perspective these actions appear to be having the opposite effect. well i would suggest that that's not fact the president of the united states just made us magnificent historical agreement between the u.a.e. israel and iran i believe that the world leaders are in favor of that they support that the isolation is really not a guess united states iran is isolated we don't see people running to the borders of iran saying look we're going to help you drew this storm that we're facing it's the complete opposite their leaders may be verbalizing somewhat this content with america but at the end of the day if you look at our history they all come running back to the united states that martin are with the united states i say so let me put that point sima stuff. iran can perhaps claim t

sanctions on iran. when the u.s. entered into the failed deal, the obama administration told the american people that the u.s. would always have the right to restore u.n. sanctions on a run, even without the approval of other nations. that provision was key to obtaining the u.s. approval for the jcpoa. president trump is now exercising our rights to protect america and allies. the iranian regime has repeatedly lied about its nuclear weapons program, tohive, and denied access international inspectors. these actions send a clear message that such conduct will not be tolerated. the is also sending a message to the international community that they must turn away from the malign activities of iran. rather than waste resources chasing after nuclear bombs, the iranian regime should provide the irani and people with what they want and deserve, a thriving and prosperous iran. a new dawn has arisen in the middle east. the abraham accords signed at the white house last week represent a significant step towards peace in the mid

is really not yes united states iran is isolated we don't see people running to the borders of iran saying look we're going to help you drew this storm that we're facing it's the complete opposite that leaders may be verbalizing somewhat discontent with america but at the end of the day if you look at our history they all come running back to the united states and that martyr with the united states i say so let me put that point c m a stuff a question iran can perhaps claim the moral high ground here but this latest episode but in practical terms this could kind of the whole vic's me because tice is sanctions a looming and what i lie 7 has left are being forced to pick sites in the steven rogers says when push comes to chuck of our allies going to sides with america he's more powerful or iran. well hello thanks for having me and for a matter of fact it's not denial there is no denial that the sanctions have made it difficult for virtually any and for me myself and many other citizens but this does not mean that 'd the united states has made a major breakthrough or has been successfu

is that the head of the i visited iran late last month and as a goodwill gesture iran allowed access to sites that the suspected that nuclear material is stored or used now iran has been blocking access to these sites but a goodwill gesture they allowed the i.a.e.a. to visit these sites where suspected something was taking place in early 2000 and iran will be upset that ruffled across the and the i.a.e.a. have gone away and said that iran is in breach of that 2015 nuclear deal because that's clearly not the position of iran here and iran has already said that they will return to those commitments if the europeans can find a way around those sanctions and return to their obligations to the 2015 nuclear deal. reporting live from tehran i said many thanks indeed. nato is calling on russia to cooperate with an international investigation into what happened to the kremlin critic alexina valmy doctors in germany is being treated say that he was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent but russia's government says that it has no evidence of any crime and was there as laurence lee reports the

now and anyone any aggressor thinking of attacking iran knows that iran is strong and will not back away from fighting and that again is a warning for anyone and especially the united states if iran doesn't see the united states as an aggressor that iran wall back down and if iran is attacked they will respond and that's a rallying call to the institutions to the military to the revolutionary guard and to the politicians to get on board and possibly get ready for tough times ahead so many things are so big in iraq. security forces in egypt to stage antigovernment protests the police fired tear gas in the capital cairo the demonstrators are calling for the president. to step down those protests continued into the night in the egyptian capital use a picture of a march through one neighborhood demonstrators were chanting slogans against the military. in egypt's 2nd biggest city alexandria there was a heavy police presence security had been heightened across the country after calls for mass gatherings by an exiled opposition figure mohamed ali the former contractor to the egyptian milit

the iran nuclear deal. they could reimpose those sanctions. the problem is the united states left that deal two years ago under president trump. the rest of the signatories to that deal and other members of the security council including some in the united states notoriously closed the allies. the european members of the council have chosen to preserve the deal and prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon as their primary focus. support from israel in the maximum pressure campaign against iran. but many of the closest allies here have outright rejected the u.s. position on international sanctions, choosing instead to try to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon and not focused on a conventional weapon. >> what was interesting earlier is neither the president or the secretary of state took part in marking this. >> absolutely. this was supposed to be the big kickoff for the 75th anniversary of the united nations general assembly. the united states had the honor spot at the beginning of the day. everyth

pressure campaign so iran's banking sector iran's oil sector iran can't sell its oil any revenues it has outside of the country from the early can't bring back into the country any assets iran has outside of its country it cannot get back into the country the economy is struggling the currency has lost its value considerably since the start of the krona virus pandemic so iran is under a lot of strain now what the united states is threatening is sanctioning. conover finding countries that deal with iran in the face of what the united states sees is the real position of these sanctions and when we were speaking to people on the streets they say they see how worse can it get it's already bad enough but there are some people think that actually it can get worse and that's a considerable fear coming out of the horizon if you 90 state starts or tries to impose these sanctions stopping you bring in ships finding other countries then it could get far worse for the iranian economy or a. rock. tens of thousands of time protesters have ended a new round of demonstrations by presenting a set of

mao denial of vote and we see in iran post khomeini iran why we're not in. any detail all israeli probably d. most determined state in fighting against their will i mean israel obviously was part of the iran contra deal allowing weapons to be exported to iran and as you say these are historical details but how many years ago but how many is it hurted how many years ago did netanyahu meet with a legit isis diasur al qaeda sympathizers in the nato back to war against president assad of syria. i should admit they don't understand the open fictional fi story we are talking we are facing major injuries right now and you are talking about. which happened over to you describe in them or where lie to give you the credit but these are the event form so do you have a goal for totally irrelevant to all type of now in the middle east for prime minister i'll still be there more from israel's former prime minister and defense minister after this break. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate transitions to susta

iran's u.n. ambassador has gone so far here to call the united states a bully for going back on this agreement and trying to get other countries to do the same and the theme for the general assembly this year kristen is multilateral is in many countries coming together but that's very much at all with the u.s. his latest sanctions move on iran. absolutely the united nations is using this occasion the 75th anniversary of the organization that was formed after world war 2 as a reaffirmation of multi-lateralism and calling on countries to come together and work together that's what the united nations was established for and they were hoping to reinvigorate countries in their response to things like the coronavirus to conflict to climate change to continue to work together instead what they have is the united states essentially going alone not only did it make this announcement president trav was expected to send an address to the delegations here today he'd never made that address instead this covet

sanctions on iran have snapped back to the iran nuclear deal 5 years ago the rest of the international community say oh no they haven't snapped back they say that the us pulled out of the iran deal 2 years ago so it doesn't have the ability to trigger this snapback mechanism that she likely to come out from president rouhani who i think is in a difficult position he has been a strong supporter reluctant initially even a strong supporter of the iran nuclear deal and there are hardliners in iran who are not so keen on the iran nuclear deal clearly going forward the big moment will not be this moment to the u.n. general assembly and they snap back or not snap back it'll be what happens on november the 3rd the u.s. presidential election because joe biden has said that if he's elected president he will in some form try and rejoin in iran nuclear deal even if it's a reformed iran nuclear deal if it's president trump then there's no way he's going to come back to that deal and it leaves very little place for foot foot for the 2 countries to go other than potentially towards conflict which is

said that if anyone was to attack this country they now know that iran will not back down and iran will fight so here is the message that he's sending today is not only just for normally rain is because he is the spiritual and political leader of this country he's talking trying to bring keep alive this memory of the iran iraq war this war that defined this country politically but also a warning to the united states they has been a military buildup in the region and he's talking about the strength of iran the strength of iran's missile program and the sacrifices of normal people but you also mentioned the revolutionary guard iran's revolutionary guard which was established by the former supreme leader ayatollah khomeini and this is a force that is one of the most now is one of the most powerful institutions in iran one of the most influential also in the region and he answers directly to the office of. the supreme leader so this is very much a a speech to rally the troops to get the public behind iran in these tough times the country is facing countries facing not only economically but

sanctions on iran is ignored by world powers. that are from doha everyone i'm come all santa maria this is the world news from al-jazeera student activists in bangkok of challenge the monarchy the symbolic clock declare in thailand belongs to the people. so i think we're going to start the brushes extremely. we'll have a nominee for. president trump says he could choose a successor to supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg as early as next week. more arrests in belarus as protesters marched for another day calling on the president to step down. so the u.s. has broken with the all other permanent members of the u.n. security council and declared so-called snapback sanctions on iran america's major allies britain france and germany have already written to the u.n. to say sanctions relief will remain in place all of this over the iran nuclear deal which washington pulled out of 2 years ago and so the other signatories say the u.s. can no longer or no longer has the legal power to force through any changes diplomatic editor james

takes that it has been shaped by that conflict the iran iraq war and how the west armed hussein so iran is still very suspicious and skeptical of the west and in terms of buying arms well yesterday divides the foreign minister said that iran hasn't bought had has had arms trade with the west since the 1979 revolution here and they're looking to friendly countries essentially russia and china but how many of the spiritual and political leader of the country also issued a warning he said that any aggressor should know that iran is that we know iran is and we can they would think twice before attacking the country because they know that iran won't be backing down from a fight or as a bait that. iran continue discussion that we have sound sharp joining us is a policy fellow at the european leadership network he's also a nuclear security specialist joins us from london good to have you with us as i'm sure you're aware the i.a.e.a. has been holding its meetings is the controversial u.s. announcement of reimposing u.n. sanctions impacting how the. can work and carry out its mandate. i thank yo

that is will compensate iran for the damages. withdrew from jcpoa without any reason. it incurred a lot of damages on the iranian people. you know, today iran is not able to even buy vaccines for influenza because the united states does not allow us to transfer the money. right now, as we speak, our order to buy back -- vaccines for the flu not covid, to pay our own money. we're not asking anybody for donation. so, i think the united states, whoever is president, it's not -- it's immaterial for us who sits in the white house. for us, what is important is how they behave. and the united states has behaved extremely irresponsibly, dangerously in the international community. so, it is up to the united states. the united states has to be -- take into account it is up to the united states to prove to the rest of jcpoa participants, particularly to iran, that it's going to act responsibly. it's not going to make demands outside the scope of the jcpoa and basically stop causing damage to iran and compensate us for all the damages, billi

iran will make a decision on a case by case basis iran will wait to see what the united states will do in practice there is nothing the us can do unless it resorts to piracy in open seas or intercepts iranian ships in international waters if that is going to happen then iran will react proportionately. the world. has opposed america's unilateral actions and iran will not watch if the united states is going to resort to intimidation and piracy in the open seas and iran. and iran will change its calculations on that basis and we'll react accordingly ok thank you so much for your time any there for us in tehran a researcher at these center for strategic studies. european union foreign ministers have failed to agree on sanctions against bella reuss officials suspected of election fraud or playing a part in the recent crackdown on protesters this summer about after belarusian opposition leader said planet to kind of skier spent the day meeting with top european union officials and brussels she called for sanctions on president alexander lukashenko the government in belarus is accusing the e

this is iran like you've never seen it before.020 and iran's top military general, qasem soleimani, has been assassinated by a us air strike at baghdad airport. it's a huge loss to the establishment. but his death has brought millions together in mourning. a show of strength for a regime recovering after weeks of anti—government protests. a funeral tour is held across the country. among those covering in the holy city of qom, is ali. a journalist and regime supporter who is documenting the crowd for his youtube channel qom news. little does he know that another killer has arrived on a plane from china. in mid—february, a video emerges on social media of a patient at qom hospital. a day later, the family announced that he has died. the government know that his death was caused by coronavirus but with an election looming, they deny it and cry fake news instead. to further suppress news of the pandemic, restrictions are placed on journalists. but ali continues to report for his youtube channel, qom news. he's backed by iran's religio

unilateral action against iran, they are opposed to it. the europeans see this as a motion by the u.s. to totally tarnish the jcpoa and disrupt every activity in the past that have been so successssful in containing the iranian nuclear activities. to begin with, the u.n. sanctions regime was already lifted by the jcpoa, but the americans are now trying to reinstate every resolution against iran. and this was voted against the motion earlier in august. and even following that, there was another attempt, and even prior to that there was another attempt by the u.s. to try to initiate a motion against the iranian activities knowing that the iranians had been adhering to it but still the americans considered it as sort of a violation to it. here it's more about the u.s. being isolated or itself by its own actions. >> well, concerning iran, though, it's dealing with the uae and israel normalizing ties. what are you looking for in the coming months? >> i think it's sort of a result of the iranian isolation in the region. this has a lot to do with

that iran is not seeking to use quality soil to target u.s. interests and and he was told by kuwaiti authorities that kuwait would not allow the u.s. to use its soil to carry out attacks against iran so a very complicated relationship and kuwait has been walking that tightrope between the g.c.c. the united states and iran assert thank you very much chance of being there reporting live from tehran let's bring in our own bashara he's our jazeera senior political analyst he joins us now on the line from paris mo on what will the amir's legacy how will it be remembered. well you know. i think it's a bit of a long 3 lines and that actually my sympathize summarize a lot of what but we've heard from our correspondents today and i would say that they on balance and they are stability and reform balance was born out of great suffering from the iraq invasion and i think one years ago kuwait was basically taken over completely it became a government that they want it that it was liberated and since then kuwait has traded a very fine line between regional

welcome back to worlds apart that iran's foreign minister. minister just before the break or it's touched upon. your attitude to the united states and. there is a bit more than a month left until the next year's presidential elections i know that you say that iran doesn't have a preferred candidate but as a kind of with a long tradition of strategic analysis i'm sure you have 2 or 4 seem different scenarios do you think there will be a difference in the u.s. policy of his over your country depending on who occupies the white house next year but. obviously there will be differences between various presidents and various points of views i doubt that any one will have extreme views such as president trump but at the end of the day be need to look at the policy not the personality in the white house i think the question that needs to be asked before even asking what the policy would be with regard to iran is whether there will be a peaceful transition in the united states if i was president by the election from what we heard from president trump

and iran iran believes it now has the upper hand so big al jazeera iran. the u.s. also says iran could soon be able to produce a nuclear weapon a senior u.s. official has told reuters news service that iran could have enough material for a weapon by the end of the year ron has also reportedly resumed cooperation with north korea on a long range missile project the official told reuters that the u.s. will now sanction more than 2 dozen people and entities involved in iran's weapons programs. of more on this we're joined by mayor lester in london she is an international sanctions lawyer brick court chambers thank you for your time. sir the u.s. says it's triggered this snapback the rest of the u.n. security council says no sorry you don't have the right to do that what does the law say well the law says that those who are allowed to trigger this so-called snap back mechanism under the un resolution our participants in the deal now the u.s. says it's a participant state because it's named in the resolution the other permanent members say well no you have pulled out an

with iran the iran nuclear deal now some of the powers the u.s. and france notably were somewhat concerned about what to do if if that iran didn't didn't come up with its commitments to this nuclear deal and so they built into this a mechanism called snap back the team of the secretary of state john kerry devised this which meant that rather than having if iran breached on the deal to bring back each of the different sanctions measures against iran in the u.n. security council they'd have a simple procedure the different iran didn't comply that they'd all snapped back at once and all it needed was one of the signatures of the nuclear deal to trigger that now of course what happened was 2 years ago the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal yet it still feels it can trigger that snap back and it did this weekend it says triggered that snapback it says all international sanctions should come back into force the problem for the u.s. is the rest of the u.n. security council and the rest of the international community it seems do not agree that's the

strategy of maximum pressure against iran achieving its goal this is inside story.

last month for the head of the gross he had visited iran over these 2 sites that iran had been blocking access to grossly met with president has and rouhani foreign minister divides the reef and other high ranking officials in that officials are now what came out of those meetings was that iran would grant access now the i.a.e.a. say that they have taken samples from one of these sites that allege that either nuclear material stored or used in the early 2000 so they've taken material from one of these sites and that will be analyzed and access to the 2nd site will take place later this month nice important to note that i already has access to iran's new to clear nuclear sites and they are under $24.00 seventh's online monitoring so if the united states were looking for some 4th of against iran why the i.a.e.a. well they haven't got that the i.a.e.a. saying that the way forward is diplomacy and that will be warmly received here in the iran because they rein in officials were keen to show that they were complying they were keen to show that this was a goodwill gesture in terms of granting

you refer to this trip to iran you undertook in august.ly fascinated because before the trip there was a degree of tension with your relationship with the iranian government but after you released the joint statement in tehran there was an outbreak of goodwill from all sides and if i am not wrong, you now believe the iranians acting in good faith with all your inspection programmes? let me say, you get it right in general. i think the non—proliferation effort is a co nsta nt the non—proliferation effort is a constant effort. you are never there, you always have to pick and prove everything is 0k. what happened this year is that i asked iran to let our inspectors access a couple of places. they did not want to so that led us to an impasse of sorts, which was not solved and i think people work solved that this would add up to other conflictual situation and debates around iran therefore it was important to solve this issue. i thought it was important to talk to them directly. they were kind enough in receiving us. i spoke to president hassan
