if iran does not extend the limits the time that the limits are due to apply to iran and that amounts to a unilateral attempt to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal and that's why iran the europeans are saying that they're going to stand by the agreement they're not going to stand for a unilateral attempt to renegotiate the terms of this international accord now what congress does we're not quite sure we're going to have a months long debate here in washington that my organization the arms control association is going to be deeply engaged in so the future of the iran nuclear deal does hang in the balance so i need to be clear nothing has actually happened to that deal i remember i was there in vienna with you when when it was signed back in september twenty fifteen nothing's actually happened under that deal this is the act of congress that was there to scrutinize. the deal and president. reporting back to congress what's your understanding of exactly the legislation president. is he trying now. to actually have a second mechanism. the judge's compliance. look i think the iran nuclear agreement review act that was passed under the ob

iran. iran closely throughout my career, including n my current capacity as the co-chair of the iran task force. a report r we issued on the need to restore u.s. leverage to confront the full of iran's menacing behaviors. focused on theis jcpoa and whether adherence to national erves our interests. our task force has been an outspoken critic of this which gives iran den ary and geopolitical fits while robbing u.s. of the previous leverage. effective strategy must estore our lost leverage and i applaud which commitment to explore the range of options. urgent because the deal laces iran on a trajectory to become as intractable as challenge as north korea is worse.and very possibly sanctions relief is bringing renewed foreign investment to capital and technology for increased spending on ballistic missiles operations in places like and yemen. council resolution 2231 gives iran and specifically irgc a major opportunity to nuclear came blt -- capability. allowing the irgc to become an dealer.ional arms the irgc's ability to inflect and costs on our forces deny our access to the region ill grow signi

where we were before we didn't even talk to iran. >> is there any signal that european countries and the other signatories to the iran deal are willing to talk to iran to resolve the problems they have with the ballistic missiles while addressing iranian national security, the grievances that iran has, to come to some sort of an agreement? >> absolutely. the european union has already engage with counterpart and iran on a number of these issues get europeans have effectively started this process talking to iran and seeing what the next steps in building a more constructive relationship would be. backing from the u.s. would actually make this and much more fruitful process and would throw some way towards reassuring that range that we're not just going to walk away from the deal. >> [inaudible] -- are not americans lead to go in and inspect these facilities? why we excluded from these inspections. that seems to me an easy, and look see for yourself, and then that right there. >> the way the deal was negotiated, basically put the inspections in the hands of the international atomic energy agency, to some extent this was a concession. this is iran iran

[inaudible] watch are not americans lead to go in and inspect these facilities? why we excluded from these inspections. that seems to me an easy, and look see for yourself, and then that right there. >> the way the deal was negotiated, basically put the inspections in the hands of the international atomic energy agency, to some extent this was a concession. this is iran

iran nuclear deal is working as intended. it has put a lid on iran's nuclear program and blocking iran's pathways to a bomb. of course, it's not a perfect agreement. we got what we need to achieve the purposes of the deal. thousands have been dismantled. iran's plutonium has been neutralized. 98% of uranium has been shipped out of the country. international inspectors have new and unprecedented access to compliance. all of this was achieved by diplomacy backed by pressure implemented by this committee without the united states having to fire a single shot. today the iaea, u.s. intelligence community and israeli security establishment assessed that iran is complying with the deal. secretary mattis has testified it is in interest so it makes no sense for president trump to decline to certify. the deal does not solve all problems for all time but solves a key problem at this point. the nuclear deal does not preclude the united states from taking decisive steps. the fact that the jcpoa does not address sponsorship of terrorism or regional aggression is -- this is not a treaty of good will and we design the deal

deal on iran's nuclear program don trump says tehran hasn't lived up to the two thousand and fifteen agreement which restricts iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions iran's president hassan rouhani has responded to trump speech he called it a pile of delusional allegations and the leaders of france germany and britain are warning the u.s. against undermining the accord well in a moment we'll have more reaction from there on but first here's our report by white house correspondent kimberly hulk it he's often threatened to tear out the landmark deal with iran but in the end u.s. president donald trump stopped short of pulling out of the twenty fifteen agreement to limit its nuclear program for now and even though his own administration has twice certify that iran is complying with the deal he now says he won't do it again i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout that is why i am directing my administration to work closely with congress for months trump has accused his predecessor ba

have a point when it says that the way that the iran deal is structured it will make iran stronger economically and that once certain limits are lifted on iranhat it will be able to return to some sort of nuclear program while being stronger? so why or why not ask congress to step in and address this and that these flaws and then pressure the international community to devise a new approach to a ran? why not? john: it's certainly true that the sanctions that were lifted under the deal will allow iran to build its economy and improve things for itself. but this notion that -- i think there's a bias among i think both sides in american politics that there's this picture of iran of being implacably in pursuit of a nuclear weapon. and i don't think that's actually the case. i think they've actually kind of made a decision here which is that they go the route of greater engagement with the world, they can develop more trade with europe, both east and west actually, they can improve things domestically for themselves, and, you know, get sanctions lifted and this kind of stuff by not pursuing a nuclear weapon. or, they could go another route which

iran's malign activities in the region. the fact that the jcpoa does not address iran's sponsorship of terrorism is no concession to iran. this was an arms control agreement, not a treaty of goodwill, and we specifically designed the deal to preserve our right and our capacity to counter iran on all of these fronts. today, we maintain the means to pursue a multidimensional whole of government strategy to counter iran's malign activities across the board. we can impose costs for their continued pursuit of ballistic missiles, deter and disrupt their financing of terrorism, work with our allies and partners to curb their regional aggression and support the aspirations of the iranian people. can all take steps to address the continued detention of americans in iran. and we can do this while relentlessly enforcing the iran nuclear deal. this brings me to my third point. the best strategy to counter the full range of iranian threats is to commit to the deal and to borrow a phrase from the chairman, enforce the hell out of it. not cast it into doubt and raise questions about america's credibility. e credibility. we want our part

iran. the whole idea with secondary sanctions is not to punish iran, it is punish firms outside of iran that might want to do business with iran. so if congress reimposes those sanctions, that is the stick they hold over companies in europe, the idea they will get punished and kept out of the u.s. system if they do business with iran. that is a big, significant point. i want to make sure people understand that. trita, please go ahead. trita parsi: not about giving recommendation, i want to share what i think they are likely to do. part i think is perhaps good in the sense of making sure that the deal doesn't get killed, ultimately, i think that would be bad if it was. right now, notice they are keeping relatively low profile, i think that is because of their calculation that trump is shooting himself in the foot, isolating the united states and as a result, they have no interest in interfering while he's doing that. the area i really worry about, particularly when combined with the suggestions, some of them quite explicit about regime change, that will lead to much, much tougher position of

iran. we will suremum, that iran can't move without us knowing right away. that is better than the alternative. the past reparations of iran's military country -- military operations were addressed. there was no evidence of suspected -- suspected activity taking place in the country. if that evidence is put forward, and the country says, no. this is a real problem if is not resolved, and we are in our rights to say iran has violated they deal. if iran barred us to military sites, that is one thing. but no one has come up with that evidence. this is similar to the iraq situation. and we have to be careful of being manipulated. >> i don't want to see anything bad happen to israel. commentsnetanyahu's get more attention of the attention- get more than the experts, people are going to say things. >> i am the director of policy and government relations in americans for peace now. it is a pro-israeli organization. to flipion is, i want this question on its head. advise opponents of the deal to kill it? as someone with an organization working to save the steel, -- save this deal, what advice might you have about which in mine canni

iran did iran did get you know as of factually in history that iran did get a lot of its beginning missile technology from north korea and but and has then go on ahead and proceed with their own development programs. but that that's aside from the new killers that aspects. i think that what's going to happen by the by point out of this agreement if it ultimately comes to that is to certify now but if you terminates us role then that's really going to show not only the europeans but even the north koreans if we intend to do anything with them short of going to nuclear war is that you cannot trust the united states to come to any and that this is going to have a debilitating effect on our ability to conduct foreign policy frankly ok i think we can actually listen to a sound bite of president trump talking about the violations he claims have been carried out this even to listen to that now. officials and military leaders have repeatedly claimed they will not allow inspectors on to military it's even though the international community suspects some of those sites were part of iran's thailand n

the kurdish issue turkey and iran are on the same page right now however that being said iran's relations with p.k. k. for example is also complicated it's no secret that iran had connections with. commanders and there there had been regular meetings between iranian intelligence officers and p.k. k. high commanders. and in the past iran used p.k. k. as a leverage against turkey but today as iran is visiting iran it seems that both countries share a common purse pectin when it comes to the territorial integrity in both syria and iraq and must warrant that doesn't mean that these countries will keep on but more and if i can bring you in here now if they can be on the same page about the kurds what about the issue of syrian president bashar al assad which they've been on opposing sides of you know have the military successes of the kurds and syria which have greatly worried turkey and with crucial support from the u.s. have they pushed turkey to re-evaluate their priorities and syria were pushing back against kurdish gains you know is more important now than regime. change which they have been very silent on recently i think there is an issue to address before

is the thing driving me crazy about this discussion, is that, you know, you guys keep saying iran, iran, iran. the iranian government is make up of various factions, i mean, who is really in charge? i guess i'm just -- >> this is exactly the point. iran has dynamic domestic political situation, so if you're trying to think to yourself, how do we improve iranian behavior or get them to make concessions on our interests, the question is how do you do it. there are people who believe that only browbeating, hostile rhetoric, threats of war are likely to get a positive response, they are just -- they either capitulate, or continue to be pains in the butt. there are more sober minded people who understand inside domestic situation, there are hard liners and moderates and if you do things that concede certain things to the other side when you make compromises, it tends to empower moderates who can do the compromises. now with trump, as trita wisely said, the hard liners in iran are bolstered because they are proving right, these guys warned against trusting the united states from the beginning and w

iran do? he suggested the united states will suffer credibility issues. what about iran? >> we will make the appropriate decision based on the circumstances. irant the monitor. i did not make the decision, nor will anybody else. we will have a debate in iran about the consequences. we will have a variety of views. even today, there are people in iran who believe the united states has been less than compliant with other aspects of the deal. and therefore, iran should not stay committed to the deal. that is an argument being made the citrus the in iran -- vociferously in iran by a vocal minority. that argument has gained greater had the and support united states decided to leave the deal. charlie: what sides are winning in iran? reelected.ouhani was does that mean moderates are on the ascendancy? would you describe him as a moderate in terms of iranian politics? >> well, i believe he had a platform. , and he triedorm to explain that platform, domestic and global agenda. he received the support of the most population. it was not certain he would win. he did. next election -- charlie: i am asking about the trend of where iran is going. >> it depend

iran nuclear deal, and to develop for the first time a holistic strategy to address the iran an menace. i applaud this sound choice which prioritizes the safety and security of our citizens and the american homeland. predictably the flawed deal with iran has done nothing to stem that rogue nation's aggression and misbehavior domestically in the middle east and throughout the globe. quite to the contrary, by front loading the benefits to iran, the iran nuclear deal is

the iran nuclear deal which was a suspension by iran of its efforts to get nuclear weapon in return for an easing of nuclear sanctions that was easing of nuclear sanctions it was a wrap allowing iran to have its own money back. and so james the white house now wants to make changes to the legislation this is domestic u.s. law that. basically takes care of the iran deal they want more intrusive inspections and they want a change to these so-called sunset provisions that were in the deal if you could just tell us you know how important those provisions are. well the deal that was done remember and i think it's worth telling you this was not just a deal between the u.s. and iran it was a deal in july twenty fifteen with six world powers and iran painstaking negotiations now in the end they came out with this this plan of action as they call that they don't call it a treaty because president obama knew that if he had a treaty on his hands that the u.s. constitution says he has to get it ratified by congress so congress then had this deal that had been done wasn't entirely happy about it and said well we're going to watch this really closely so they came up with legislation to monitor

iran under iran's agreement with the i.a.e.a. pursuant to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and then there are separate mental inspections under the joint comprehensive plan of action and i.a.e.a. already has the authority under iran's voluntary implementation of its additional protocol to seek access to sites that are not declared as nuclear but there is a mechanism under which iran can provide satisfaction to their concerns short of providing access and there is something called managed access underweight juran good except visits to military sites. on specific for specific purposes purposes so to speak a frog or as i do would you like to respond to that's my guest from vienna and also tell us does this in any way if the deal worth one raval if a tram does decertified and then congress imposes sanctions does this encourage iran then to restart its nuclear program. yes i think if the u.s. gets out of the nixon in agreement it would be difficult for the iranian government to a say in it because after all the major sanctions that we have are u.s. sanctions and because of the snapback mccann ism and the un us will have the ability to bring the u.n. sanctions back as well so this is not going to be acceptable for you an

iran. when saddam was invading kuwait, he wanted iran to join and suggested if he was successful that iran and kuwait and iraq would share the spoils. >> and he sent all his fighter jets to iran, but we did not take the bait. we did not join the coalition, but we helped kuwait. we were the first country to condemn the iraqi invasion of kuwait. equally important historical fact for people to remember. charlie: characterize your relationship with the united states today. [laughter] >> do i need to? charlie: please do. >> i think the united states is making a strategic mistake of sending a message to the world it is not reliable as a negotiating partner. in any deal, to reach a deal, you give concessions and you take concessions on the other side. no deal will be sustainable if you take concessions and ask for more after. nobody else will negotiate with the united states. the united states will become known as an unreliable partner. i believe even europeans are saying if the united states were to break the deal, nobody else would trust them. i think the united states has to prove it is a relia

iran controlled or iran itself. not only iraqi military represented but militia forces. there was hezbollah from lebanon representative in the meeting. and also an iranian presumably from the quds force. and the -- iran has made great progress in influencing iraq generally but there was a pocket where the kurds, particularly the kdp kurds, the barzani kurds who are more independent of iran, and they want to bring them to heel. and it's very important that in the aftermath of what the president has announced our new iran strategy the iranians are pushing forward, not being restrained, not being deterred but that they are being more aggressive. and it's very important that in my view that we look at these militia forces in iraq. some of them have acquired american weapons, and i don't know whether anybody from the congress are still here. it's very important that we demand that those american equipment such as abram tanks are not allowed to be kr0e8d or owned by the militia forces. they either need to be returned to the iraqi regular forces or we need to disable them. >> but they're also with the peshmerga, too right? >> well, the peshmerga have some equipment. less capable equipment than the iraqi for

iran is ready to fall, did you know that? and then we came in and bolstered that. he talks about the money the way to iran. it's iran's money picky doesn't tell the american people the money that went to iran is iran's money that they had challenged us into international court on that we would've lost and it would have cost more. sowell is a bit of, i don't even call it knowledge, but stuff is a dangerous thing when you are not giving the public the whole truth. if that were not enough for the day, last night as you know, in the past 24 hours the president has taken radical and reckless steps that imperil the security of our nation. we discussed that, and health of the american people. make no mistake, last night the president single-handedly decided to raise america's health premiums for no reasons, except spite and cruelty. cost-sharing reduction payments are essential to lowering health insurance costs. because of president trump's decision to cut them off, these cost-sharing payments, premiums will soar according to nonpartisan cbo, headed by a republican appointee, appointed by the republicans in congress, the cb

iran was ready to fall. did you know that? and we came in and bolstered them. the other -- he talks about the money that went to iran. it's iran's money. he doesn't tell the american people the money that went to iran was iran's money. that they had challenged us in international court on, that we would have lost and it would have cost more. so, a little bit of -- i don't ven call it knowledge, but stuff is a dangerous thing when you're not giving the public the whole truth. if that weren't enough for the day, last night as you know, past 24 hours, the president is taking radical and reckless steps that imperil the security of our nation, we discussed that. and the health of the american people. make no mistake, last night the president single-handedly decided to raise america's health premiums for no reason except spite and cruelty. cost sharing reduction payments are essential to lowering health insurance costs. because of president trump's decision to cut them off, these st sharing payments -- premiums will sore according to a nonpartisan c.b.o. headed by a republican appointee, republicanned -- appointed by a republican in c

the sovereignty of the of the people of iran the day in your opinion how much does israel's animosity towards iran have to do with trying to certifying the iran deal given its close relationship to netanyahu it's very clear that the europeans are uncomfortable with this attempt to decide to fire on after all your a relies on energy from iran its sources of energy in russia have been cut off its sources of energy from libya have been compromised so the european partners are not interested in deserted trying iran and going back to a position of sanctions the israelis are very interested in such a policy largely because israel sees iran as a major strategic problem in the region so it's you know should be fairly clear therefore that the united states is following as it were the israel advice regarding iran and not the european advice certainly israel is playing a major role in the trump white house. on this run a good policy regarding iran v.j. iran's missile program is to deter foreign aggression especially as it is encircled by u.s. bases and to run afghanistan and israel now is this deterrent capability one that worries israel but i mean don'

iran's destructive actions u.s. president on john threatens the landmark international nuclear deal with iran. iran's president heads back at trans peace judge saying it was for a fake accusations but reiterated commitment to the agreement. and i'm chained up and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up opposition protesters defied ban on demonstrations in kenya two are shot dead by police in the west of the country. and a change of guard at the top of the un's cultural body unesco but challenges lie ahead. u.s. president donald trump has laid out an aggressive new strategy on iran he says he won't certify to harangues compliance with the two thousand and fifteen new kid deal and he's calling on congress to put more pressure on iran's missile program kimberly helka reports from washington d.c. he's often threatened to tear up the landmark deal with iran but in the end u.s. president donald trump stopped short of pulling out of the two thousand and fifteen agreement to limit its nuclear program for now and even though his own administration has twice certified that iran is complying with the d

iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal. so today, in recognition of the increasing men ace imposed by iran and after extensive consultations with our allies, i'm announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions. first, we will work with our importantly, iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal. so today, in recognition of the increasing men ace imposed by iran and after extensive consultations with our allies, i'm announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions. first, we will work with our allies to counter the regime's destabilizing activity and support for terrorists' proxies in the region. second, we will place additional sanctions on the regime to block their financing of terror. third, we will address the regime's proliferation of missiles and weapons that threaten its neighbors. and finally we will deny the regime, all paths to a nuclear weapon. today, i'm also announcing several major steps my administration is taking in pursuit of this strategy. the execution of our strategy begins with the long overdue step of imposing tough sanctions on iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. the revolutionary guard is the iranian supr

iran's economic growth. despite what trump said tonight and the unholy ghost of politicians, the people of iran will continue to make efforts to develop this country economically. god on bless you all. announcer: later, nancy pelosi voiced her opposition to the president's decision to decertify the iran nuclear agreement. >> say the nuclear agreement, the iran nuclear agreement, was the best way to prevent iran from becoming a nuclear armed to state. president trump's refusal to recertify is a grave mistake that threatens america's security, credibility, at a very critical time. the president is ignoring the overwhelming consensus of nuclear scientists, national security experts, generals, and his own, including reportedly the secretary of defense and the secretary of state. iran remains in compliance with the nuclear agreement. if they did not come up we would not the supporting recertification. if they were not in compliance, our allies would walk away. they are not. supporters of the

iran's nuclear program. the flaws in the deal also include insufficient enforcement and near total silence on iran's missile programs. congress has already begun the work to address these problems. key house and senate leaders are drafting legislation that would amend the iran nuclear agreement review act to strengthen enforcement, prevent iran from developing -- and this is so totally important -- an intercontinental ballistic missile and make all restrictions on iran's nuclear activity permanent under u.s. law. so important. i support these initiatives. however, in the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies, then the agreement will be terminated. it is under continuous review and our participation can be canceled by me as president at any time. as we have seen in north korea, the longer we ignore a threat, the worse that threat becomes. it is why we are determined that the world's leading sponsor of terrorism will never obtain nuclear weapons. in this effort, we stand in total solidarity with the iranian regime's longest suffering victims, its own people. the citizens of iran have paid a heavy price for the violence and extremism of their leaders. the iranian people long to and they just are longing to reclaim their

iran would cheat. if it was complying with that depreement. first iran, will be allowed an arsenal of nuclear weapons in 10 years under the very temperatures of this agreement. iran was not denied a nuclear weapon. the path was phased for iran to ave a nuclear weapon withing sanks. it was not required and it was allowed to continue research and development on advanced centrifuges and it will be allowed to continue to require intercontinental ballistic missiles. why do you need those missiles if you have peaceful designs for your nuclear program? ladies and gentlemen, those of you who are listening at home, remember this, an intercontinental ballistic missile is not a missile designed for tell aviv. it is designed for new york city and washington, d.c. and atlanta, georgia and los angeles, california and seattle, washington and chicago. our homeland security has been jeopardized because of this flawed agreement. nd iran will receive a sanctions-relief jackpot and received $100 billion. and in our capacity as the chairman of the subcommittee at oversees the treasury department, we have heard the reporting as a result of this agreement, iran has accelerated its supp

iran's nuclear program is not diverted for military purposes the leaders added that they were worried and willing to act over iran's ballistic missile program and what they described as its regional activities iran has sent a formal letter of protest to the un secretary general it says the islamic republic of iran will not be the first to withdraw from the deal but if its rights and interests in the deal are not respected it will stop implementing all its commitments and will resume its peaceful nuclear program without any restrictions the greatest concern that iran itself withdraws from the deal shifting what was an internationally monitored and restrained nuclear process back into the darkness mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. now former u.n. secretary general kofi annan is calling on me and maher to ensuring the refugees can safely return to their homes more than half a million are in neighboring bangladesh trying to escape from the crackdown in iraq and state kofi annan is chairman of an international commission on the state was established by the mainland government the international community is prepared to engage me him and work on a common road map. used in the reporter there are kin

iran is supporting extremism and is threatening israel well indeed the u.s. executive and congress always has something to throw at iran and they know for sure that iran is in compliance i mean this is the seventh quarter or seventh six month period that iran has been in compliance by the international atomic energy association. has certified again that iran is in compliance they've destroyed two thirds of the some nine hundred centrifuges all of their rainy i'm they've done everything that the international community has asked them to do and yet that's not good enough for the trumpet ministrations so here you have all of these other things that will be coming up about terrorism extremism and all of that . now it's feared that a president trumpy to certify i did certify the iran deal and think sions iran it could lead iran to pursue nuclear weapons which could in turn increase the chances of nuclear war i therefore in your view who is a bigger threat to global security well indeed what the u.s. has been doing i mean when the united states is bombing seven countries right now that's pretty destabilizing. the united states the certification does not mean that that treat

iran deal came to be born? it focused specifically on the iran nuclear program. it's a couple dated issue. of whatthe other issues irans doing around the region, if you take the nuclear issue off the table, it becomes easier to address the other issues. it was never real sick -- it was never realistic to think you can include those other issues. -- now just a making you're just making addressing all the other issues harder. david: we know rex tillerson was having discussions with his counterparts in the u.k. if the u.s. were to remove itself from the deal, if president trump canceled the deal as he suggested he can do, what does it mean for integrity overall? french companies have sold airplanes to iran. could the deal continue in perpetuity without the u.s.? >> this is an international deal, not just between the u.s. and iran. president trump unilaterally cancel it is not true. the reason why sanctions in's iran working the first place is because you had entire international community together on this issue. i think it's almost certain that the eu is not going to go along with this. if the u.s. tries to pressure them

iran and the jcpoa. they want to stop iran's economic growth. despite what trump said tonight and the unholy ghost of u.s. politicians, the people of iran will continue to make efforts to develop this country economically. god bless you all. >> later, nancy pelosi voiced her opposition to the president's decision to decertify the iran agreement in her capitol hill briefing. >> i say the nuclear agreement, the iran nuclear agreement, was the best way to prevent iran from becoming a nuclear armed state. president trump's refusal to recertify is a grave mistake that threatens america's security and our credibility at a very critical time. the president is ignoring the overwhelming consensus of nuclear scientists, national security experts, generals and his own come in courting -- his own cabinet, including reportedly the secretary of state. remains in, iran compliance with the nuclear agreement. if they did not, we would not be supporting certification. compliance, not in our allies would walk away, they are not. supporters of the agreement harbor no illusions about the iranian regime. that is why the agreement is based on proof, not trust

the national council of resistance iran claims iran is still creating an arsenal of nukes with the help of north korean scientists. iran has also kept a heavy stockpile and changed designs to a reactor that can produce plutonium and the obama state department listed iran at the top of its list of the worst state sponsors of terror. now since the deal iran increasingly threatened u.s. navy warships bias much as 60%. it shows footage on tv of humiliated u.s. troops that had temporarily seized for entering its waters and since the deal the u.s. found a $1.7 billion all cash payment to iran by the obama white house. the obama administration gave iran $100 billion back in oil profits that were frozen over the years due to sanctions on the nuclear program. iran continues to test intercontinental ballistic missiles too since president trump took office and iran regularly showcases its weapons in military parades. president rohanivowing to boost the country's missile capables and let's not forget the raw ten video of iran chanting while burning u.s. flags and there's more like revealing the obama administration dropping charge
