iran and the creation of the iran action group. from the state department, this is 15 minutes. sec. pompeo: good afternoon, everyone. today, i'm happy to announce the creation of the iran action group. the iran action group will be responsible for directing, reviewing and coordinating all aspects of the state department's iran related activity. they will report directly to me. for nearly 40 years the regime in tehran has been responsible for a torrent of violent and destabilizing behavior toward the united states, allies, partners and the iranian people themselves. in may of this year, president trump withdrew from the iran nuclear deal which failed to restrain iran's nuclear progress or its campaigns of violence abroad. in its place, president trump has instituted a campaign of pressure, deterrence and solidarity with the long-suffering iranian people. our hope is that one day soon we can reach a new agreement with iran, but we must see major changes in the regime's behavior both inside and outside of its borders. the iranian people and the world are demanding iran finally act like a normal nation. the iran action group will drive daily progress on these objectives an

iran could help over time. change iran's foreign policy as opposed to always just containing iran and being against iran. in the declarations made by the supreme leader and other senior figures. there was this idea that if the nuclear deal work correctly applied and everyone respected their commitments and promises then it would bring concrete results i mean. it would be possible to enter into other negotiations on other issues on the basis of this excess power for jewish bits seem. from here on iran hope to normalize its relations with the west but the country was then confronted with a syria and iran crises which would give it the opportunity to use other methods than diplomacy to once again become a major player in the middle east. behest as a cemetery in tehran is the biggest in the country. the man known as post was named. day he was an officer in the revolutionary guard who was killed in september two thousand and sixteen in syria. the revolutionary guard corps created in one nine hundred seventy nine is the most powerful security organization in the country it's the tehran regime's praetorian guard

iran. europe will do nothing for iran, that is pretty clear. certainly the united states won't, even though trump says he will now negotiate with anyone in iran, they certainly don't believe him. that leaves russia. iran does not have anywhere to turn except russia and possibly china and while china may give it money, it cannot give it the political and military support it needs against the west. therefore, russia is in a position, or so it believes, to deliver, if i may use that term, iran in some sense, but it is not strong enough or willing to enforce the situation where a -- iranian gets kicked out of syria altogether because it cannot do that and knows it would simply further destabilized syria and undermine everything moscow has accomplished. so it is in a strategically fortunate decision. -- position. it is now the primary interlocutor between israel and iran and the united states has been forced to accept russia on its terms. which is the way the russians saw the helsinki summit. it is also the primary interlocutor between syria and jordan, as the recent agreement shows, and also, it is, as we will discuss later today, fully active in n

iran and the u.s. the second is 1981 accord between iran and the u.s. after 25 years of u.s. support for the shaw in iran, dictatorship dominating koran, there was a resolution. iranians took some americans hostage in iran. there was a big problem. ultimately, iran and the u.s. in 1981 met each other in all jerry a and they signed -- algeria and they signed an accord to finding how iran and the u.s. can have normal relations based on mutual respect and noninterference. this accord was signed between iran and the u.s. right after the semester, iran freed the hostages and the u.s., rather than implementing this accord for a normal relation with iran, the u.s. cut the relation with iran and went to support saddam hussein invading iran, participated in a war against iran. the third criteria is the nuclear deal, signed by the u.s., approved by united nations security council. president trump should tell iranians, each of these treaty agreements, records, going to be criteria for the future of iran and the u.s. i think the iran and the u.s. have two major chords, which relation,d rate a new can be foundation f

iran will be enormously consequential. for the future of iran and stability of the islamic republic and for the capacity of iran to continue casting such a wide influence across the region we simply don't know how succession will play out but often in iran the most powerful institution at the time of the transition will determine what comes next and the most powerful institution at the moment is the revolutionary guards in iran with the. economic power and influence. the revolutionary guard is particularly keen to prevent another protagonist wielding influence in the internal political debates of the country these are the protagonist being the iranian people. at the end of december two thousand and seventeen tens of thousands of them took to the streets in eighty towns and cities across the country. despite the repression leaving twenty five people killed and three thousand seven hundred arrested they denounce the deterioration in their standard of living widespread cronyism and corruption amongst the leadership with cries of down with hezbollah and not guards or not lebannon my soul is for iran. these demonstrators addres

iran has become a stronger. sanction the complaint that the u.s. has is that iran's influence in the region is too much and iran has big missiles which have the sanctions have put an economic strain on iran's economy haven't they we have seen protests in some iranian cities of people unhappy with the economic situation how badly do you think this round of sanctions will make the situation for the average iranian. it's going to be difficult as a person through and they said we're going to have children or people that are going to have difficulties there are no restrictions on medicine but since we are going to have banking this direction and iran would not be able to pay for the medicine that it needs from outside iran is producing some of the stuff that that that iran needs for example ninety five percent of the medicine is produced a mystically there are certain types of medicine that it's upon from outside. so it's going to be difficult for the iranian people they are going to be people that may not like the situation they may have protests also which is you know you have protests in europe and asia and other

with iran those sanctions will come into effect on november fifth those will include sanctions on iran's energy sector transactions by foreign financial institutions with the central bank of iran iran shipping in shipbuilding sectors among others the first rounds of new sanctions when activists of this month after president trump announced a u.s. withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal the sanctions perhaps iran from using the u.s. dollar this tricks trading in precious metals it's also limits the rainy and currency flows as well as imposing constraints on the also trades the u.s. move is widely opposed by european countries. a free c.r.b. former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiating team says the u.s. is lacking broad support for its measures against iran. the united states unilaterally and very illegally reimport sanctions that have been lifted by the international community u.n. security council resolution. you know two thousand and fifteen so the question is how can the u.s. justify. rationalization for do sanctions that don't have the backing of the international community if the u.s. proceeds threaten. their lives in europe in particular but also in asia there will distort

iran nuclear deal. the fa ct he hates the iran nuclear deal. the fact is this was a horrible one—sided deal that should never, ever have been made. when he pulled out of three months ago he said iranons. any nation that helps iran in its quest to nuclear weapons could be strongly sanctioned why the united states. iran will no longer be able to buy american dollars, it won't be a will to trade in gold, aluminium and steel are also on the list, as is the country's currency. in three months‘ time, the country‘s currency. in three months‘ time, there will be more sanctions. iran‘s oil industry, shipping and insurance and the central bank. iranian 's are very frustrated and angry, there are protests morphing around the country. this has been ongoing since december and january and the government has very limited tools to really protect itself from the domestic instability. they can a lwa ys domestic instability. they can always crackdown. they are in trouble. this is going to be a tough period to them. this is precisely what mr trump wants. he says the nuclear deal did little to curb iranian behaviour around the middle east. its port for dalit and groups in lebanon and gaza, its involve

sanctions on iran have come into force it's now ninety days since president dog trump renamed on the iran nuclear deal iran's president is accusing washington of waging psychological warfare the european union's foreign policy chief has called on companies to do even more business with iran to counteract those u.s. sanctions we are encouraging small and medium enterprises and particular to increase business with iran. as part of something that for us is a security priority i want to make this very clear because we're talking about trade and economic relations with iran because this is part integral part of the nuclear. saudi arabia state airline is suspending flights to and from toronto in an intensifying diplomatic route with canada on sunday riyadh froze new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador it was in retaliation for canada urging saudi arabia to free human rights activists rescue workers in indonesia have pulled a survivor from a mosque that collapsed in sunday's earthquake on lombok island have been using heavy machinery to clear the rubble the magnitude six point nine quake kille

iran come has been iran and the russian federation. so in a way i think it implied that some of the subsequent problems that she talked about the threats coming from iran that syria could potentially be a a launchpad for those problems, part of the general concern up iran project its power to the mediterranean and the other. >> let me ask you because i was sort of struck and speech that often stuck during this discussion on nonproliferation issues, technical, a lot of acronyms but, of course, behind all of this is our humanitarian issues that in syria are stunning. is it fair to say that our syria policy, broadly speaking, has been an abysmal bipartisan failure? and despite all the speeches given and all the sanctions issued and a limited military strikes, bashar al-assad has won the syrian civil war. he did so using the most horrendous tactics, both chemical weapons and using conventional weapons. there's, what, half million people dead, 1 million, and emerge out of this not only victorious but in winning this victory, what nonproliferation norms? what norms are left? >> it's a very good point. first of all in my opinion, this is not a secret, i am we

with iran for those sanctions will come into effect on november fifth those will include sanctions on iran's energy sector transactions by foreign financial institutions with the central bank of iran iran shipping and ship building sectors among others were new down to around sanctions were enacted earlier this month after president trump announced the country has the country's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal the sanctions prohibit iran from using the us dollar and restricts trading in precious metals to it also limits iranian currency flows as well as imposing constraints on the auto trade the u.s. move is widely opposed though by european countries so let's get some analysis a with. he's a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiator and he joins this is saving new very welcome thanks for coming on firstly what do you think this action group will achieve. i really don't think you will hear much of anything because the united states unilaterally and very illegally remain poor sanctions that have been lifted by the international community u.n. security council resolution. of two thousand and fifteen so the question is how can the u.s. justify. rationalization for these sancti

iran and the oil situation, if china steps in and takes the oil, how effective will the sanctions be? >> that is the case today. the u.s. is asking all of iran's major customers to cut back significantly on purchases from irana has said no. china accounts for one fourth of iran's oil exports. that will make the ability of the u.s. sanctions to really squeeze the iranian economy much more difficult. i suspect this will play out in the context of the broader u.s. china trade tensions and we are likely to see things get rougher between the u.s. and china in the weeks and to come. >> on a smaller level with respect to turkey, we hear that qatar has stepped in. there is a leak in the bucket. the u.s. does not seem to be adept at bringing together multilateral groups for sanctions. with regard to turkey the sanctions are a small part of the story. is commercialry that problems in turkey and the political issues involved between the u.s. and turkey. in iran, the need for international cooperation is much more important. we are seeing a situation far more different than years ago. gatheredu.s. and eu together a strong coalition, squeezed the iranian economy, and led iranian officials to come to the negotiating tabl

leaders have also shown support to iran about this and they have said they were committed to protect the european companies which are doing business with or in iran. iran's parliament has voted to impeach the labor minister there rabin the iranian president hassan rouhani is under pressure from politicians to reshuffle his economics team unemployment in iran remains high despite sanctions relief following the twenty fifty nuclear deal this is parliament's third attempt to be removed. so bubblies main opposition party says it will challenge the results of last week's presidential election in court lawyers for the m.d.c. alliance say they have what they call quotes mammoth evidence of electoral fraud the current president eminem and gaga issued jewel to be reintegrated on sunday after merging as the winner in last sunday's vote but the opposition says he can't be sworn in or facing this legal challenge the log addition poses in the rules that if justice the chief justice is also in there they and the head of the constitutional court so it is not possible. for him in the integrity. of that money for a minute to experience or for chief justice. to preside ov

the iran nuclear deal which was agreed with will powers back in twenty fifteen iran's president is accused washington and waging psychological warfare well the sanctions on life is to weaken iran's currency which has been in freefall since trump's decision and also a block iran from getting access to american dollars the u.s. will stop imports from iran including food cars and carpets and the sanctions will also limit iran's ability to buy rumor tearooms like steel and coal as well as precious metals and then at the start of november more sanctions will kick in and they'll include measures specifically targeting the oil sector and foreign banks the do business with iran can really help get reports from washington. the united states says iran is a threat and it wants to punish the country's government by isolating it from the global financial system starting tuesday u.s. sanctions will be reimposed to target a raid. of sectors blocking iran from purchasing u.s. banknotes and trading in gold and metals like aluminum and steel it will also limit iran's access to software and automotive sectors will blocking its ability to purchase commercial aircraft or trade in food and other good

iran militarily iran's. reach and military ability is at the level that the cost of attacking iran is going to be very very big so you need on at least for the short medium and. we don't have this out of us as the u.s. is going to attack iran militarily bigart to having a regional security outage and actually iran has been asking for that for a long time iran has argued that the countries of this region should be able to. provide for their own security does not think the united states or other countries from outside this region should be here providing security for countries that can do their own so this is an argument that. the problem we have with this issue of what they call them out of nato is that they actually countries like saudi arabia want to create this and get help from israelis to fight iran which is going to be a disaster when i say fight i don't mean necessarily a military confrontation but just confronting iran and given the recent history of saudi foreign policy disaster they have in yemen killing innocent women and children the disaster they have the neighbor in. the mess they made in syria an

iran's of currency which has dropped sharply since trump's decision the u.s. has stopped imports from iran including food cars and carpets the sanctions also limit iran's ability to buy raw materials like steel and coal as well as precious metals and then at the start of november more sanctions will kick in as will target iran's oil industry and foreign banks that do business with the country so we begin our coverage now with same bus ravi in tehran. in a televised interview on the eve of u.s. sanctions snapping back into place iran's president admonished america praised his european allies and asked his people for a little more time to fix the country's economy and that to push that are they going to have him standing we need more solidarity we should be more united i'm telling my dear people god willing with your help we will get through this problem these problems won't be long term problems if we become united if we stay together to increase our exports to increase our production to be good to each other to fight corruption to have more transparency we will get through these problems america is not able to do anything to bring us to our knees. he mentioned

just too raising pressure on top of that is true later to term strategy in iran and russia if trump wants to harm russia and iran iran even more with his sanctions he would like turkey to join him as they're importing most of their oil from the two countries so sending the turkish lira further down this just a cool letter will damage the trump does not care about the turkish president today told donald trump the bullying board work as have others like the canadian prime minister for example what do people on wall street make of the behavior of the u.s. president. well i would say they consider it as pretty effective china and russia are suffering their financial markets are as well as their economies the most current stuff exchange drifted into a bear market and it might hit their fangs and then look at their economy rashness everett she groped hovers between one point eight percent and two point six percent in the absence of any theory is restructuring the economy russia is due to steadily fall behind the rest of the world whose economies are growing at a way higher rate every year looking over to china the trade wa

iran iran says it wants to make the u.s. sorry for what it has done, the big question is whether or not these sanctions will pull iran back tohe negotiationine table or push iran closer to making a nuclear weapon. >> tracie potts, thank you >> let's head to tehran for reaction from the ground ali arouzi is there. >>> good morning the trump administration's unremitting pressure on iran is having tangible effects on the ground authorities are describing it as psychological warfare and an all-out attack on iran >> it looks like we're having trouble with that shot if we can, we'll get it back up to you ali, can you hear me all right. if we get that shot live -- a lot of stuff goes into these shots, we'll bring that to you >>> also new overnight china blasting president trump again over the ongoing trade dispute between d.c. and beijing let's get to eunice yoon live in china with more. eunice >> thank you very much, brian. the chinese state media has not let up its criticism of president trump. two official papers have been mocking the weekend tweet of the president which has suggested that the fall of the chinese stock market co

iran. reimposing these sanctions is really part of a us effort to try and change some of iran's behaviour in the region. the us views and irana source of a lot of destabilising activity in the region and it wants to push iran to negotiate away some of the things that it does in the region as well as renegotiating the nuclear deal. these are sanctions to try and bring the iran to the table. this first round of sanctionss that goes into effect in the next couple of hours is affecting the sale of uranium and american banknotes, as well as raw materials, steel, aluminium, car parts and the oil—related sanctions in november that are set to be reimposed. this will heap economic pain on tehran and put downward pressure on their currency and the us is trying to weaken the government's hold on its population and to try and force them to come to the table. and if it increases unrest in iran, it is likely to surelt damage the more moderate factions in the iranian leadership and strengthen the hardliners? right now we're seeing a lot of discourse and debate in the iranian establishment about what should they do economically to ride out

trump's trump offer of face to face meeting with iran, iran take the upper hand, saying it sees no value in a face-to-face meeting. >> trevor: wow, iranmean, i know iran seems extreme but i get why they're not eager to meet with trump. you have to admit, he blows hot and cold like a psychoboyfriend. iran! you will suffer consequences the likes no one in history suffered before! i'm sorry, iran. i haven't had my big mack today. want to meet? west meet. let's talk before i bomb you int!want to get a puppy? let's get a puppy. crazy. ( applause ) i understand why iran would think a meeting with trump would be unproductive. he's totally unreliable. but if they take a page out of north korea's book, iran might be able to use that to their advantage. >> north korea, evidence it may be building new long range missiles. these new satellite images according to "the washington post" showing construction of one or possibly two liquid fueled icbms at a facility on the outskirts of pyongyang. >> this would seem to validate concerns north korea had absolutely no intention of getting rid of nuclear weapons despite kim's very big promises following th

for iran to come to a negotiation table with the us president but the pressure is domestically are huge since january two thousand and eighteen we've seen unrest and we've seen that iran economy iran market is in panic that's why we observe the depreciation of uranium currency so iran is pushed from domestic affairs and also from foreign affairs to somehow come to a negotiation but the thing is that. well it's somehow a kind of war economic war so when you are in real economic war you should consider all economic options and also all possible measures and iran is doing that as well so one of the measures is negotiating with the united states but we don't know how it will happen saudi arabia states airline has suspended flights to toronto in an intensifying diplomatic row with canada riyadh for us trade and investment deals on monday and expelled the canadian ambassador that's in retaliation for canada's call for saudi arabia to release human rights activists his alexy abroad among those detained in saudi arabia is the sister of this man six years ago blogger. to a thousand lashes to be administered over twenty weeks for criticizing saudi arabian clerics. now his sister summer is a

iran u.s. sanctions against iran being told there's going to be a second wave in november which is targeting iran's oil exports and of course iran is boil rather is a is a big part of iran's economy what effect is that going to have made that is that their president. is having he wants to bring get oil explorer to nail which is probably not happening as i mentioned to chinese will buy indians will buy and are already very large buyouts then any way versus will probably not have in the past and i don't see why given that they've to situations they'll get to be well into and to. have to adjust again to the same measures have scaping learnt and the iranians are also rather well trained in handling same shoes andrea streisand thanks very much for being with us thank you. all right still to come on counting the cost a pledge to stamp out colombia's cocaine addiction. but first the turkish lira has hit an all time low versus the dollar concerns about worsening relations with the u.s. sparked the latest sell off the currency has lost more than one third of its value this year analysts say concerns are gro

iran, the latest fallout after u.s. plans to slap sanctions on companies doing business in iran. iran's oil minister made that announcement today, saying thee1 process to replace total with another company is underway. the u.s. continues to hold a hard line on enron. national security adviser john bolton slammed today what he called the "wretcced iran hisear deal." he made comments during talksswith netanyahahu. question of the -punited states that iran nevvr get a deliverable nuclear weapons capability. it is why president trumpp6 c131 withdrew from the wretched iran nuclear deal. it is why he israel imposing economic saactions. to worry we continue about iran's role as the central bankee of international terrorism. i wwuld worry about iran's belligerent military activity wwth syria, with hezbollah, and in yemen. genie: we will go to bruce uu from seoul. tell us more about this historic meeting that is happening for some of these families who ave now had their first meeting. what do we know about what happened today? some of the scenes were incredible. i saw s some live streams from ko

the iran sanctions are just a trigger and europe is well aware that they won't likely won't pull this off until november when it would need to be in place to salvage the iran deal for salvaging the iran do ya think we very much have to rely on china providing a lifeline to iran by increasing our securing the oil oil exports and also using an independent payment systems that the chinese have but clearly this is triggered a rethink in europe actually a rethink that was predicted by u.s. secretary treasury secretary jack lew during the obama administration he said like he warned of sanctions overreach i do think that this weaponize ing of interdependency and choke points and swift is one swift maybe a european institution but it's at the mercy of of american pressure and we've seen that many times with regard to iran that's why it is indeed important for europe to develop these alternative payment channels the u.s. will certainly try to prevent this by playing divide and rule mr moss himself as the devil is in a thousand details this is something you announce once and then you quietly go about trying to pull this off this will be very hard to pull this off but to it's worth trying well

will not be able to change its foreign policy because iran's policy in syria and iran is what prevented isis from coming into iran iran stop the extremists that western governments helped create with the saudis, look at the intelligence agency document of 2012. the most important military intelligence organisation in the world, the pentagon, stated from early on in syria the dominant militant forces were the extremists and they would create a salafist entity between syria and iraq. and the regional regimes that were allied to the united states were supporting this. and then general flynn later on in an interview admitted... he was the head of that organisation, he admitted the united states took a wilful decision to help its regional allies do this. what was the group that later made a regime between syria and iraq? it was isis. the united states helped the extremists. how can you stand back and allow syria or damascus have the black flags raise over them ? you may make that point, i'm more interested in what this means for iran. there's no question, it's quite obvious that iran's strategic commitment to its supp

iran and i'm did ministration has continued to elevate its policy focus of confronting iran's regional influence how's that focus resulted in any diminishment of its proxies reach so far and what new actions is the u.s. military taking in order to constrain iran's proxy proxy activity you know on iran what are we excuse me on yemen what are we doing differently mr one one point i would make is where we've been successful there is no news and we have seen a much more rigorous targeting process for the deliberate targeting one that takes into account the areas where you are most likely to have collateral damage and that's why they imposed no fire areas restricted fire areas we have seen pilots with a much more attuned approach to their own missions and how they carry out those missions we've seen pilots as i mentioned earlier who declined to drop so i would tell you that to say that it hasn't worked. we recognize we are not going to achieve perfection that's why we're waiting now to get the investigation to find out what specifically did not work here now granted that was not a deliberate targeted location that was a dynamic target as i understand it we are still waiting on the investigation and as a result the pilots in the air when the threat i
