the other thing, iran doesn't -- karen said -- iran said the taliban is a product of saudi arabia iran doesn't talk about , this taliban in the same way, and this is part of this wait-and-see keep your options open. we heard about security before, iran is playing that card very carefully. when there was a suggestion that some of the fighters will be pulled from syria, the iranian state media was very quick to say that was not going to happen. iran does not want to go there. not yet. obviously isis-k is a different issue, but it does not seem to be the primary concern right now for the iranians although , obviously iran will always have to worry about elements emerging, that was the reason why they went to iraq and syria. if they believe isis will find a firm foothold in afghanistan, it will be tough for them ideologically to not do anything about it. time will show. i want to make sure that we have time for questions so let me go through my last set of points. iranians do not think the taliban can run afghanistan. they are saying to the pakistanis, which from the iran perspective is th

iran does need more allies. pakistan is more closer to the taliban than iran, so iran itself in the current situation. it makes a lot of sense for iran to have a close relationship with them. we will have to wait and see. >> thank you so much. it was very comprehensive, and i'm sure there's a great deal to discuss, and mustafa will take you in that direction. >> thank you very much for having me on this timely discussion. as you know, after 20 years of war, and this has raised many questions and concerns both inside and outside afghanistan. what will happen next and what the future will hold for them, at the regional level, as the doctor mentioned, many stakeholders including iran, they have their own stakes and interests. they were repeatedly calling for a responsible use withdrawal from afghanistan. on interpretation of the phrase with sponsor for -- responsible withdrawal is for them to not be plunged into another bloody civil war and further instability and not should begin -- become a safe haven for natural

i will start with iran's strategy. a couple of months back i was looking at the role of the regional powers, and it struck me of knowing that how these powers are trying to -- i will come to that at the end, but let me start with some major strategy against iran around the ideology and economy. -- strategy of interest in iran around the ideology and economy. and the trends that iran will also see, ideology, security and -- the threats that iran also sees from afghanistan are around these three major areas, ideology, security, and economy. let me start with the security element, and that is so much connected to the ideology element. iran has always welcomed these -- the departure of the u.s. forces, there is no doubt. but it has consumed the path of tension with the taliban back in -- the reemergence of sunni she at tension with the taliban back in power. -- shia tension with the taliban back in power. the threats relating to the taliban takeover and the emergent of anti-iran sentiment, it is something that is a major t

pummeling iran's democratic government to iran taking hostage of u.s. diplomats and so on and so forth. the reality again, that we have much broader problems with iran is should we have to tackle everything at the same time? the trump administration imposed 12 conditions onas i said, the . it did not really managed to achieve all of its -- any of its strategic objectives. that is why i think tackling the most urgent issue with iran is important. although this will be an imperfect agreement, you usually start with the first deal and start building on it. if you destroy it completely, it is more difficult to bring a stronger deal forward and built on the ruins of the original agreement. i think that is the mistake that was committed. host: ali vaez today the house is considering legislation to address sentencing dispairs for crack cocaine and powder cocaine. house speaker nancy pelosi said they'll vote on the bill thursday. when the house is back in session find live coverage here on c-span.

they get their funding from iran. they get their training from iran. they get their weapons from iran. aaron's -- iran's great goal is crystal clear to anybody who cares to open their eyes. iran seeks to dominate the region and seeks to do so under a nuclear umbrella. for the past three decades, iran has spread its carnage and destruction around the middle east, country after country. lebanon, iraq. syria. yemen. gaza. what do all these places have in common? well, they're all falling apart. their citizens hungry and suffering. their economies collapsing. lucky the midas touch, iran's regime has -- every place iran touches fails and if you think iranian proper is con finalledded to israel, you're wrong. -- confined to israel, you're wrong. let me tell you some news -- just in year, iran made operation m.i.a. a new deadly terror units, a start-up. swarms of killer u.a.v.'s armed with lethal weapons that can attack any place at in i time. they plan to blanket the skies of the middle east with this lethal force. iran has already used these deadly u.a.v.'s

this is epic iran.tion is very unusual, in that it traces the history and cultural development of iran from the beginning of history, which we reckon to be about 3200 bc — that's when the first rudimentary writing appears in iran — right up until now. so that's a 5,000—year continuum. the first section starts at 3200 bc, with the introduction of writing, and it goes on until the start of the achaemenid empire in 550. so that in itself covers a very long period. we call that "emerging iran". there are some very interesting pieces in the first part of the exhibition showing the advanced and prosperous civilisations in some of those centres. particularly, for example, in ilam, in southwestern iran, i draw your attention to a very fine little bronze group which shows a man and a woman, possibly a king and a queen. they are worshipping figures, and it was undoubtedly something that was put into a shrine in order to represent the supplicants in perpetuity. also some very interesting gold vessels from the mali

let's start with iran. president said the us intends to return to full compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal with iran that president trump tore up. your mandate is to inhibit the use of nuclear power for military purposes. how worried in general are you about iran's nuclear programme? it’s general are you about iran's nuclear programme? it's good to be with you. _ nuclear programme? it's good to be with you, thank _ nuclear programme? it's good to be with you, thank you. - nuclear programme? it's good to be with you, thank you. we - nuclear programme? it's good to be with you, thank you. we are l be with you, thank you. we are as worried as we should be, no more, no less. we have a vision, we have inspections to carry out, and these inspections have to do with the entire nuclear programme of the islamic republic of iran and as you are saying, this is in connection, deeply interconnected with the possibility or not to return to the famous gc poa, signed in 2015 which the united states withdrew from in 2018,

well, i think russia does not want to run with a nuclear weapon and does not. iran does not want iran to get into a ministry competition with the united states or israel. so that's why it would eventually push iran to play a more constructive role and engage the i e a and get back to the j c p. away. so i think there is, you're right. there is a limit to russia patient the question we don't have an answer to is what it is also a limit to china, patient. because china is now in a cold war with the united states and see this iran card as one that it can play against the us. so that will be the most determining factor here. i think olivers, we appreciate your being with us and i'll just need to thank you very much indeed for your time. so i pleasure. ah, in the 1st secret document to the f. b, i investigation into the september 11th attacks has been released after a long campaign by the victims families. the nearly declassified paper is come on the 20th anniversary and describe contact the hijackers had with saudi associates in the us. but the 16 page report offers no evidence that the s

this is not a trap that iran will fall into iran is by enough not to fall in this trap. so iran will wait to see how are they going to act if they're going to slaughter the, the asking if they are very slow to the she i, if they're going to close the border with iran and top trade transaction, a strong action again. iran definitely iran will react strongly. afghan it's done is going to turn into paradise for terrorist organization. indeed, i'm not sure everyone will be watching all of that very, very closely. indeed, randy the research at the al jazeera center studies speaking to us from terror on thanks so much, holly. well, plenty more ads here. this news are including putting pressure on wildly this to acts on climate change. key international organizations need to decide on a call to action. new zealand announces another 20 percent of our cases, all and its largest. se 104 will hear from the canadian teenagers celebrating a career high after us. ah. well, members of guineas, outgoing cabinet, have gathered at parliament after being summoned by the crew leader kennedy

but given what you been saying about the sponsorship of terrorism against iran, how does iran, and i know it has a new government now even negotiate over the j. c, p u, a nuclear treaty with people who, you know, are arming, attacks on iran. i mean, now iran is closer to china, closer to russia, close to his whaler. all these other the international community. why does it continue even negotiating with a g p. o, a with job buttons administration for us live ocean is, is the, the main approach that we have 2 or international differences that we have the, the other country. therefore, if we can resolve something through negotiations visible to and then i'm going to do anything about the increased enrichment that is being reported on j. c. p i v have had some some issues that they think we have to resolve it. the other part is of the j. c p. a. one is that we need to go and t that if again, somebody like president from is not the not station they are not withdrawing and destroying what the rec ocean if you need them. therefore, they need the kind of guarantee for that. secondly, we don'

a which of course would include iran as well. he said there's a new government in iran. he had certain agreements with previous administrations, but he needed to have discussions with the new government i want to bring in. i sat back, he's joining tonight. he's reported extensively on iran for us. so those are the technical details. we're getting a little bit more information about what, what has been agreed. let's talk more broadly. why is this visit happening? not because if i understand correctly, there was a certain amount of pushback from iran against this happening. yes, the, the, this visit happened now is because there's a board of governors meeting at the i a e, where we were expecting a european powers that wanted essential iran. and iran had threatened that if they had been censure. they wouldn't return to the negotiating table to continue to discuss the 2015 nuclear deal. but when you listen to ref, grosse, this is very much, amanda seems an organization that seems that is playing a balancing act, a balancing act between the united states and the european pow

he's saying that the a had no problems with iran because the i a doesn't believe that iran is currently in compliance. j. c p, about 0 nuclear deal. but of course neither is the us because the u. s. is pulled out of that deal and it's worth also telling you, nick, that we had thought that perhaps that be some movement here in new york. certainly some ambassadors, western ambassadors that, that would've been very beneficial if they've been further meetings involving those that are still in the nuclear deal. the full amount of the security council plus germany and iran, if they'd had a meeting. or even if that been a meeting between the us and the iranians here, possibly with the new radian foreign minister in the us, secretary of state. well, there is going to be no meeting between the new us and the iranians. there is going to be no meeting of the participants of the nuclear deal. we are now learning what is going on is some of the other participants individually. the u. k. for example, germany, france, will be meeting with the iranian foreign minister. we expect the russians and chines

and swipe basing was more than happy for iran to be admitted. but even more important than that's, iran has a strategic partnership with the russian federation. that's on its own has changed the dynamics has changed the dimensions of the made the waste. because no longer is iran face in america on its own like it for the during the 19 eighties and during the 1990s. so of course, the kremlin was very happy to see its strategic partner admitted to the s c other. and the americans and the british who are very much in afghanistan, and of course, the taliban will continue to do the bidding on behalf of their western patrons to feel fractions because it's just russia and china and iran, as dmitri directly said, india and pakistan are also members of the i see, so the americans can't help, but feel somewhat strengthened by these countries being in the s c o because they are surrounding they all surround in africa song. and it's no coincidence. i have a pizza that just stays after taliban conquerors africana song. the taliban announced that they would g

discuss century iran for non compliance. iran had threatened if he had been censured, it would not return to negotiations on the 2015 nuclear deal. well, yes, it's enough to avoid censure. it doesn't do anything else. hardly. i mean, it just, it averts a crisis. that's the big step to reverse that crisis. it doesn't solve anything. i think it's just that they're going to be able to replace the memory cards and service the equipment, make sure it's all working. i don't think they will be able to take back the, the, the old memory cards, the 2050 nuclear deal or j. c, p o, a is still stalled. and although there's a new government in the her on, headed by conservative brain, right. you see iranian policy hasn't changed. that's ultimately decided by the supreme needa. iran has always made its demands clear the lifting of volt sanctions imposed by former us president donald trump. the united states is willing to lift all the sanctions that would impede implementation of the j. c. p. away. but not things that are extraneous, like sanctions or human rights totally relevant. there are couple of o

ah, iran eases restrictions you put on international nuclear inspectors after crucial talks into iran. ah, i'm hasn't speaker this is edges live from the whole. so coming up cost us foreign minister visits afghanistan for talks with the new taliban leadership, and the former president had caused a call for aid in sudan off the floods destroyed dozens of villages during the rainy season. part of a drive towards green transport for east coaches on getting an easy ride in oslo. ah. but the head of the you, a nuclear watchdog has returned from talks into iran with an agreement that nuclear inspectors will be allowed access to facilities. it's being how you as a step towards easing international tension over iran nuclear program. i said, beg reports, months of no movement, but now a small break through iran has agreed to allow inspectors to change memory cards and cameras at some of its nuclear facilities. that came a, c, u, a nuclear chief, made his 1st visit to the country following presidential elections and a new government taking this, let me continue with the of the operation of the

and again, and again, iran has extended that deadline and that shows that iran wants to revive this deal . that iran is willing to compromise on some things. but those, those specific demands from iran, the old us sanctions, must be lifted before iran comes back into compliance with that 2015 nuclear deal hasn't changed. now that's the difficult part because those sanctions imposed by former president donald trump are still in place under the biden administration. and iran does not seem to want to budge on that and also the unwilling to negotiate directly with the united states. but they've been negotiating with the europeans, but not directly with the united states. so yes, they are willing to compromise on some things, but not the real key issues. i said vague with the latest on that from a doha said, thank you. i got that us foreign minister as hell talks in ghana, son with the taliban leadership mohammed. then up to rahman funny is the most senior official from any country to visit since the groups takeover also met with former president. i made cars i and former chief executive

you want to make a point before we talk about iran and it's diplomatic initiatives. you go ahead just the thing as well. so all of the ones that are under pressure for all the west russia to build a pipeline to pull up, you know, through the late nineties to school, y'all like europe. and the russian suggestion was to connect this fire bar into the ukrainians. wow. and the ball used for job, for reasons they said this can be used against your brain. so this is why that's why russia had to build this huge bible and you won't examine why the world would be spend so much money because of all. and i would say very intransigent and very absurd position. and just to remind our, our, our us how we know the status of all the projects. how can the invite states impose sanctions on something between russian, germany, what was happening for ashley and sanctions on the pipeline between mexico and the states. okay. other than doing that, imagine what a scandal would be, or this is except that the western society just something normal that the country that has nothing to do with t

and yet iran not only has withstood the boss but iran has grown stronger and stronger. and its recent admission to the s c o demonstrates that iran is more than just a regional player now. and it also goes to show how, how close iran's relations, political, economic, and military relations with both russia and china all because of course, moscow and beijing off the factory lasers. ready that's indisputable. iran has a very close relationship with china. and slide paging was more than happy for iran to be admitted. but even more important than that's, iran has a strategic partnership with the russian federation. that's on its own has changed, the dynamics has changed the dimensions of the made the waste because no longer is iran face in america on its own like it for you in the 19 eighties and during the 1990s. so of course the kremlin was very happy to see its strategic partner. it made it to the s c other and the americans and the british who are very much in afghanistan. and of course, the taliban will continue to do the bidding on behalf of their western patrons to f

well, iran, the l sanctions have caused so many problems for iran.tiate and it will come to the negotiations and it will look positively at working with the i a e a and of look positively at working with the ia e a and of course in particular with the g c 0 i ia e a and of course in particular withthegco i e ia e a and of course in particular with the g c 0 i e participants, there is no question there, but we have a new team in place in iran, a new nuclear team, we have ahead of an atomic energy organisation who is an atomic energy organisation who is a novice in the field and it will take a while for them to actually find their way but it has been a positive step, actually,. he is a diplomat and has done something very positive and this is a beginning of perhaps hopefully a restoration of good relations with the iaea and hopefully towards reviving the iran nuclear deal of thejc hopefully towards reviving the iran nuclear deal of the jc p hopefully towards reviving the iran nuclear deal of thejc p 0 ea. goad nuclear deal of the jc p 0 ea. good to tal

ah, iran easiest restrictions. it put on international nuclear inspectors after crucial talks and to around. ah, hello, i'm having to speak of this is i just ship and the former president and it cause now the floods destroy dozens of villages during the rainy season. it's part of the drive towards green transport, but east is on getting an easy ride. and also i as return from talk seem to her on with an agreement that nuclear inspectors will be allowed access to facilities. it's being held as a step towards easing international tension. over iran's nuclear program, i said, beg reports, months of no movement, but now a small breakthrough. iran has agreed to allow i. e, a inspectors to change memory cards and cameras at some of its nuclear facilities. that came as a u, a nuclear chief, made the 1st visit to the country following presidential elections and a new government taking office. the continuity of the operation of the agencies equipment here, which is indispensable for us to provide the necessary guarantees an

then the board would have boarded on a resolution censuring iran, and that would have led to iran in a half mat agreed to go back into talk. so this was, this is very important that grossi was able to achieve this today. it really was the last minute. so i will not go, i recall when you are in vienna, you are, i believe in charge of liaison with the i a this know that with the now to cooperation from tehran. is it enough? do you think to as a step, to avoid censure for iran up that meeting next week? oh yeah, it's enough to avoid since you're, it doesn't do anything else. hardly. i mean, it just, it averts a crisis. that's a big step today versus crisis. it doesn't solve anything because the issues are all still ongoing. and as you mentioned, russia was involved in this arrangement. so was the united states actually all the parties to the j. c. p. a. worked together behind the scenes, to arrange for go see to be able to get to be well just to be clear about what's happened v i. e. a is going to be able to switch out its memory cards, but isn't actually going to be allowed to take hom

., �* ., administration dealing with iran? �* ., ., , iran?ade a pledge that he would restore - iran? joe biden made a pledge that he would restore the - that he would restore thejcpoa in january. that he would restore thejcpoa injanuary. he did not move very quickly on it because he had so many things he had to do, including getting appointees through a very divided congress. in february, he started and they got talks going eventually but he is not getting to the point where he is wondering whether or not this deals with saving because every day that passes, as iran accumulates more uranium gets more knowledge about how to make it further enriched, it reduces the value of this deal. so, i'm not entirely sure that the biden administration is ready to make the compromises that iran is demanding. state media in north korea is reporting that the country has carried out a series of long—range cruise missile tests. they took place over the weekend — and they're the first such tests sincejoe biden took office in the united states. talks between the

they're heavily partner with, with iran. and so if the united states strikes, i re nice raise tax strike and tell me a bit me and china and russia have the all our open door to be able to strike the united states and our ward will be started. so right now we're at a standstill way to see what iran does, waiting to see what the taliban, russia and china at the same time. but, you know, today this is what we get for voted in a week leaders. a lot of people, america, they voted with bowden, with bowden, with what's best for the united states and this, the position, unfortunately, that the majority of america is put america and well, and i think everybody just looking at each other going ok what, who is going to be the next move joe. great, always to talk with you. thanks for joining us. now when we return, law enforcement can be checking out your social media profiles. what are they looking for, and what can they do with the information they find after the break? ah ah ah me when i will show the wrong, when all just don't the r

we stress that iran nuclear program must remain peaceful. and there must also be a sense of reassurance on these doubts, as well as threats that iran may pose ah, in now the 1st secret documents, the eyes investigation into the september 11th attacks has been released. after a long campaign by victims families, the newly declassified papers come on the 20th anniversary and describe contact that the hijackers had with saudi associates in the us. but the 16 page report offers no evidence that the saudi government was complicit in the plot. the president biden signed an executive order to release those documents a week before the commemorations. well, mike, hannah is in washington with more on just what those papers reveal. now this is a 1st tranche of documents to be dropped released on the f. b, i's website to a short while ago, and it's 16 pages. it doesn't provide any real revolutionary material. and also it is very heavily redacted. so very difficult to understand exactly what it is saying . in essence, what it does is deals with a 2015 in

i iran eases restrictions, it put on international nuclear inspectors after crucial talks into iran. ah, hello, i hadn't speaking this is i just did i live on the whole. so coming up, cost us foreign minister visits afghanistan for talks with the new taliban leadership and the former president hammock cause a call for aid in sudan after floods destroyed dozens of villages during the rainy season. part of the drive towards green transport, but y e scooters aren't getting an easy ride. and although i but the head of the you, a nuclear watchdog has returned from talks into her on with an agreement that nuclear inspectors will be allowed access to facilities. it's being held a step towards easing international tension away. ron's nuclear program asset bay groups months of no movement. but now a small break through iran has agreed to allow a inspectors to change memory cards and cameras at some of its nuclear facilities that came as a u. a nuclear chief made the 1st visit to the country following presidential elections and a new government taking office. the continuity of the operation of

it will be held in iran and only when an agreement is achieved in vienna. that will be handed over to the i. e. a. currently that footage, those memory cods have been the, have been, i'd like to change those. they've been sealed by both iran and the under would be handed over if an agreement is reached. those are the standing issues of the unexplained nuclear materials, find undeclared sites that iran so on. so as to the, i haven't been satisfactory. according to the i a e a and this still carrying on with those questions. so yes, there are still standing issues, but in the short term, it's given time for iran and the european powers to sit down and return to the negotiating table and hopefully reach an agreement or so many countries were involved in making that a visit to tara happen yesterday, do we yet have a sense of when those indirect talks and negotiations might actually review? well, we've heard several reports out of iran and we expect them to take some to take some taste sometime in october, but it's still uncertain. this is a new administration o

countries will never believe that iran is to be trusted.certainly, what we have in iran now, in terms of the new government is notjust a conservative government but also a government which is virtually an extension of the establishment which really rules the country. and that being the case the hardline will continue. what they have permitted, and i do admit is monitoring of their nuclear plants, but that said, there is a dispute which remains to be resolved and that dispute is about undeclared, unexplained uranium particles found by the international atomic energy agency and that, iran continues to deny. whereas those particles have been found by the agency and they are in talks at the moment but there does not seem to be an immediate agreement as far as the current talks are concerned. that is a problem and as far as reviving the treaty which was the major nuclear deal in which several countries were involved and which were sabotaged by president trump in 2018, i think that will be a more difficult one to revive because it will mean a lot

pummeling iran's democratic government to iran taking hostage of u.s.lomats and so on and so forth. the reality again, that we have much broader problems with iran is should we have to tackle everything at the same time? the trump administration imposed 12 conditions onas i said, the . it did not really managed to achieve all of its -- any of its strategic objectives. that is why i think tackling the most urgent issue with iran is important. although this will be an imperfect agreement, you usually start with the first deal and start building on it. if you destroy it completely, it is more difficult to bring a stronger deal forward and built on the ruins of the original agreement. i think that is the mistake that was committed. host: ali vaez is the iran project director at the international crisis group. ask for joining us this morning. ahead, we will talk about the doctor shortage and medical worker burnout. we are joined next by dr. brian miller to discuss covid related burnout in the medical community and the looming doctor shortage in the united st
