official iranian narrative and i think that's a bit insulting what is quite clear is that the iranians are being. confronted with an aggressive regime the united states that is trying to destroy crush the country we see people like both democrats and republicans both saying so we saw that the m e k terrorist organization when they gathered in paris with the day we saw nancy pelosi support them as well as giuliani and. newt gingrich and giuliani admitted that the enemy k. there are people in albania they have thousands of people who fought for saddam hussein that they are they are trying to create unrest in iran so the unrest that we've seen that your american gas is alluding to is manufactured from abroad so we do have a war being waged on iran so nobody wanna do you saying that the clouds that keep that i've been saying and iran that we saw just last week you know the same week that opec decided to increase production have nothing to do with how tough living conditions are for iranians at the moment they that you're saying they completely manufactured from the outside. no i think we s

out of the market or trump's pressuring allies to stop buying iranian oil as a tactic to make iranian leaders negotiate a new nuclear deal after he pulled out of the two thousand and fifteen agreement two months ago iran says it will find ways to export its oil despite trump we'll get to our guests in just a moment but first heidi has more from washington d.c. . president donald trump increased his pressure on saudi arabia by appearing on fox news and saying that he was one hundred percent sure that opec is manipulating the oil market he went on to say that quote they better stop it because we're protecting those countries many of those countries and it is no secret that the country he is referring to there is saudi arabia trance appearance on fox news comes on the heels of a tweet he issued yesterday in which he claimed that the king of saudi arabia king solomon had promised him during a call or had agreed rather to increase saudi arabian oil production by as much as two million barrels a day the white house though quickly backpedaled on that assertion following trump's tweet with a

facilitiesranian almost all of iranian oldies on may 10. -- iranian facilities on may 10. wanted israelis to attack them, but they were not prepared iran is not prepared to go to a or a majorict superior military force. military to military conflict on foreign soil, it iran is not prepared for that. they have always preferred to operate in the gray zone. some of the operations they did in syria contradict that. for example, sending rockets into israeli golan is in direct contradiction of the gray zone. they do not think iran is ready for his prepared or has the forces to start a major conflict with israel on the syrian soil. that is one of the reasons it might be -- there might be room for some compromise. the big redline would be if israel attacks facilities in iran or attacks nuclear facilities in iran, that would be different. >> thank you. i would like to open it up now. basically --to before you ask your question, would you please identify yourself and if you are willing tell us what your affiliation is so we know where the question is coming from. front, andion was u

actually hurt ordinary iranians the most so you cannot on the one hand say that we're against the iranian government while sanctioning the people who are in essentially also we have to consider the fact that rowhani was elected during an election with over seventy percent participation rate and he got almost sixty percent of the vote so whether we like him or not he is the representative of the iranian people and we cannot essentially put on this face that we're supporting the reigning people but we're against the iranian government you know what are we to make of secretary of state barak prepares comments when he told that audience in california that the iranian people must determine the country's direction of the washington will support the long ignore the voice of the iranian people or the people there make of it. i don't think his words are taking very seriously in iran i they're seen as a form of propaganda like a said the sanctions are hurting ordinary iranians the loss of value of the rain in currency has led to massive inflation which also hurts the reigning people and also the un

i think that then they faced at the are making is that they think that because some iranians many iranians are critical of the islamic regime therefore they would they would they would open their arms to tromp on john bolton. and that's always nice etc etc i say goody-goody come on come on change decision because we don't like it i think that is. catastrophic mistake that. prevents our making made everybody. on the patio how did i know you were trying to get a little bit and go ahead what you want to add yeah i mean i would totally re a professor to see that our main to trump administration has been very arrogant in its approach towards iran and it hasn't been only towards iran i mean we just heard them make very there are a good three comments towards canada just a few weeks ago i mean this is an administration that is leaving the fires climate accord causing trouble with europe and of course leading the on nuclear deal now when it comes to who should we blame i would say that although a lot of iranians might be perhaps angry with the romney administration for not doing enough to perhaps

fightudi's want to iranians for the last americans. and in my mind, the susceptibility of the trump administration to pressure from these governments, it simply isn't likely that the endgame that trump has with these tweets is to drive things towards negotiatation. -explain who they are and whether pompeo is threatening regime change here? is the iranian opposition group founded in the 1960's and the first that started to use violence against the regime. they did use terrorism back then. primarily assassinating members of the government and americans. later on, they were part of the iranian revolution. they wanted to execute the american hostages that were eventually released by the government. they ended up siding with iran hussein,-- with saddam which caused them to be seen as traders. and then they ended up becoming part of the private militia used for cleansing in the north of iran. a well-fundedve machine in washington. list,hen they were on the they actually had offices in downtown d.c.. they did manage to get off the after argui

sanctions if that happens the iranians are vying to stop all exports from the gulf including from the number one supply of saudi arabia foreign ministers from france germany britain china and russia are expected to meet at radian diplomats on friday in vienna they'll be discussing how to salvage the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal which trump withdrew from two months ago from al-jazeera as alan fischer at washington. really in president has been a two day visit to switzerland one of the main topics of conversation the u.s. decision to violate the iran nuclear deal by pulling out now the u.s. wants countries to boycott really you know oil as part of stronger international sanctions the president has done rouhani has appeared to threaten the oil exports from other middle eastern countries if the u.s. pushes ahead as. it is incorrect in unwise to imagine that somebody or producer countries will be able to export their surplus oil and iran would not be able to export its oil now really and fishes have threatened to disrupt oil shipments in the past to do so they would target the straits

or iranian militias iranian backed forces with them initially it was thirty kilometers now the russians are offering hundred kilometers which israel says is not good enough we understand this meeting yesterday maps were shown lavrov came with the russian chief of staff showing the locations of the iranian positions iranian backed positions further back from this border but israel will tell you that it is not good enough it is now demanding all iranian troops and iranian backed troops to leave syria completely the iranian response you know recently has been that that's not that's not going to happen and only at the request of the syrian government they will leave ok just very briefly staff we know there was a lot of movement on the ground certainly with civilians who is all but moving where are they going. yes a couple of things that have changed here over the last week or so one of them was there was multiple many i.d.p. tens internally displaced along this border with the israeli occupied golan heights well yesterday when we arrived back they've all gotten so it seems that many of thos

millions of iranians are bracing for the impact of u.s. sanctions following the trumpet ministrations recent decision to abandon the iran nuclear deal. and your industry right now on al-jazeera and each will ask our panel what lies in store for iran's people and its leadership when the sanctions begin to bite send your comments via twitter facebook or the you tube live chat. living under sanctions has long been a fact of life in iran with the u.s. holding restrictions in place since the islamic republic was founded in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine but some are only instead to dream of a better future when many of those restrictions were lifted as part of a deal with major world powers on limiting iran's nuclear program but just three years after that agreement was signed the same sions are due to snap back into place after president donald trump pulled washington out of the accord the first package of sanctions is due in early august here's a look at what will be targeted over the coming months. i. i q part of our strategy is accu

government remains engaged in trying to shut down the iranian oil experts iranian officials have responded recently by threatening to block the strait of hormuz that's the water passage between the persian gulf and the gulf of oman which where roughly twenty percent of global oil passes through while such a move would create a possibility of armed conflict it's seen by observers as very unlikely however it does highlight the importance and significance of the matter to our rein in officials and to help us out in understanding all the ramifications of not only the iranian circumstance but other global oil's issues we are please once again to be joined by chris martenson the founder of peak prosperity dot com chris thanks for being with us what's your take on the iranian situation. well thanks for the invitation bart it's obviously pretty serious that the iranians in the united states have been going at it for a while along with saudi arabia as the proxy in this in this particular story and so as you just mentioned iran has said well you know if we can if you want to allow us to export oil w

has since found the conversation with the iranian man strange. on march the smugglers. oh yeah chacha he was so interested in me and what i had to say and will fight in week out again now as the i'm guessing that's how he makes his money. by shango shmita. n.g.o.s cannot say how many iranian tourists arriving in serbia actually have a different journey in mind. they have thirty days to stay here and be down to any reason like a tourist so there is a lot of people that never even come to our office or get in touch with us so we actually don't know how much how many of them stay khomeini's leaving for europe and how many of them is getting back after that has arrived at a refugee camp eighty kilometers outside of belgrade it's still his first day in serbia but he has already reached a decision for himself. and i hope that i will see my mother my father and my sister again some day but it will never be in iran. and i will never go back there ready to go on. we don't know. whether the thirty two year old will be staying in serbia or trying his luck in the e.u. is unclear wh

we gave the iranians everything up front, hoping that the iranians would later comply. the koreans say why can't we have that deal? why can't we get something for making concessions. and right now they want something from the united states. they figured they're the only ones giving something up. and, of course, i've always been concerned about the internal politics in north korea, because, you know, kim has to move very, very slowly here, because he's got different power contingency, and he's basically put out of business. if he gives up his nuclear weapons, his nuclear program, he's putting a lot of people out of work, angering people whose lives are devoted to this project. so he has to move slowly. so i think negotiation is a good thing. and i'm willing to give him a little more time to get this done. >> and poppy? >> yeah, ron -- your thoughts and -- go ahead. >> real quick. i mean, you see how the two stories interact, as well. iran made a deal with the world that doesn't have nuclear weapons. it wakes up today to threats of regime change. that is a reminder of why

iranian politicians have reacted with skepticism of the u.s. president donald trump offered to meet with the iranian president without preconditions trump made the remark at a white house news conference on monday but iran's deputy speaker of parliament says it's not the right time and to go shake hands with a humiliating while the interior minister says the u.s. cannot be trusted it comes off to the trouble ministration withdrew from the landmark nuclear accord with iran in may saying it was too generous when he also vowed to ramp up sanctions the first of which come into effect next week. well the u.s. secretary of state has already walked back some of china's comments my post says he's on board with meeting iran's president but he also listed several requirements before i could go ahead president wants to meet with folks to solve problems if the iranians demonstrate a commitment to make fundamental changes in how they treat their own people reduce their malign behavior can agree that it's ha'p'orth while to enter a nuclear agreement that act

our sanctions pressure the iranian regime and do not target the iranian people. the united states does not sanction exports or medicine to iran. in addition to building a campaign of strong economic pressure, the qatari pompeo has made it a priority to stand with the iranian people who are victims of the iranian regime. the average iranian today is struggling to afford basics like water and eggs. at the same time, they are squandering millions of dollars abroad. they serve no purpose other than childreng pain and elsewhere in the middle east. foreign direct investment is falling and we hit an all-time high against the dollar last week. on june 28, it was trading at -- against the dollar in the unofficial market. that is twice the official exchange rate. the initial and fall the regime received after the iran deal never benefited the iranian people. the iranian economy is too andorted by corruption pervasive presence in most key sectors. an economy create that works with the iranian people, they refused to meet standard international banking practices. iran accord

well the latest iranian official to add to a chorus of response to president trump. casual invitation has been the interior minister who no surprises here said that trump cannot be trusted and so we're not going to talk to him and this is really been the running theme ever since donald trump pulled out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal and we've been seeing the same thing repeated over and over again now this is a country that has said several times iranian officials. of all ranks have said they prefer conversation over escalation they would rather have negotiations then any sort of verbal or actual conflict but on this one issue when it comes to president trumps white house this american administration the iranians say that they've tried once before he pulled out of the nuclear deal he's proven he cannot be trusted and now they're back to square one in terms of post one thousand nine hundred eighty nine relations between the united states and iran now any time the administration throws iran a curveball especially when it comes to this nuclear deal president hassan

many iranians. are not saying the are worried what i'm saying they are concept you're deeply comes . about their fact of coming sanctions which which everyone expects. to to to go on to start november so that it will be all one word to describe the people around this informal poll so we get a sense of what life is like. anxious but help for ok because because because the situation is really stressing in it's putting a lot of pressure on the you know general mood of the people but still this is not the first time that the really people have to wait for. the u.s. or other countries to decide whether or not they're going to impose our new series of sanctions on iran right. i would say concerned but at the same time perhaps stronger and maybe even defiant i think there's a lot of anger directed at the trumpet ministration i mean iran has been upholding its side of the new cream and even after the united states the left has left the we meant so i think perhaps there is anger in the way donald trump is re

when you look at the iranian influence in syria, it is interspersed. what, in israel i have heard it referred it referred to and also other pieces is massive strategic failure. what i expected after withdrawing -- and what would make sense to me after withdrawing from the nuclear would put int you place a plan to roll back iranian influence in the region. the problem in that is that you need to develop military resources to doing that. at least in the case of syria, passively hold territory and keep it out of the hands of the outside regime so you can financially and other means strangle it. until now, this is still a matter of dispute, whether there was recently the deal between the israeli and and russians and jordanians over the southwest and there is the issue of what to do in eastern syria and should troops stay. it would seem to me that now that the license has been revoked, the united states would be in a good place to benefit and keep the forces there, both to keep isis down and use leverage points on the regime as we try to pull the iranians w

he was thanking the iranians. he defended the whole situation as evidence of an improved relationship with iran. that's living in an alternate version of reality. one fundamental question often misunderstood and many case is not even asked, what leverage could we have to move forward to threaten iran's actions if we eliminate the sanctions that bring them to the table in the first place. and president trump is correct to impose the toughest sanctions against iran, agents and affiliates. in order to regain the leverage that will brought the iranians to the table we must increase pressure so iran doesn't back terrorist groups across the world and keep their economy across the plote. secretary of state and john bolton are trying to counter iran's aggression when they say no path to a nuclear weapon, not now, not ever. the own us is on iran. if they like the sanctions relief, then the united states has a few reasonable requirements. the verification regime needs to be fixed. the sunset provisions need to be lifted and

[ cheers and applause ] >> that message from secretary pompeo to iran citizens, the united states is with you. but the message from pompeo's boss is the one dominating the he headlines, even as the white house struggles to explain exactly why the president sent that menacing tweet. sarah sanders telling reporters the president was responding to a sunday speech by the iranian speech. in that speech, he said iran prefers peace was prepared for, quote, the mother of all wars. but john bolton saying the president has been speaking about iran for days. president trump told me that if iran does anything to t

engaging war on ordinary iranians.uences of that are to limit shipping, that would bring you in contact with the fifth fleet, which would be suicidal. do not underestimate the power of iran. the united states knows well iran's defence capabilities, and across the persian gulf region are quite significant. and the oil trade is a very sensitive issue. sol and the oil trade is a very sensitive issue. so i think it would be very foolish for the americans to underestimate a run. of course, iran has no intention of stopping the oil trade, but if the americans and other countries think they can put that sort of pressure on iran and strangle the iranian people and get away with it, they are mistaken. and i think the iranians can also cause difficulty for the saudi regime, to a lesser degree, or increase pressure gradually. for example, there is the possibility that the iranians may begin stop and searches oi'i iranians may begin stop and searches on ships bound to and from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. remember th

secretary pompeo is speaking before a group of iranian americans on the topic of raising iranian voices. it's an open question what he's actually going to call for at that speech which is this weekend. to help us unpack this and talk a little bit about where they go from here, how does europe and russia and china respond to what the trump administration is doing regarding the sanctions, is there another strategy here at play. that's the conversation we will have. to kick it off, i'll start with john, but what is the trump ministrations that strategy on iran. >> i think it's more of a lack of a strategy than a strategy. some of things you mentioned about finding the voice of the iranian people and sort of economic warfare against iran, these are old tropes that officials can fall back on when they don't have the creative new strategy of their own. trumps opposition to iran and the run deal doesn't come from a rational assessment of the u.s. interest in the threats to our security. i think he has an intense hatred of the jcp away because it was a success of his predecessor, not because th

on their an iranian exile group that has close to zero support among the iranian population. so this nation that they are concerned about democracy in iran is bunk. it is silly. based on nothing except for a lack of policy at the top that has its origins in trumps opposition to the jcpoa for political and not substantive reasons. >> you of the president on the one hand to you saying and others say is motivated politically to unravel this deal. cousin of his predecessor. -- because of his predecessor and things like that. what about the rest of the administration? is there a coherent policy being put together outside of the purview of trump? whoever wants to answer. >> one point of incoherence before he handed off. it is kind of almost a perfect laboratory test to see whether or not trumps opposition to the substance.sed on he has gone to negotiate directly face-to-face with north korean leader kim jong-il and he is praised himself for those discussions. he says there is no longer north korean threat. they have made certain commitments to denuclearize and so on. criticism ofw,

outcome number one is, in fact, iranian capitulation.nly in the nuclear context, perhaps in the regional context and that would require some type of renegotiation. and outcome number two is the implosion of the iranian regime. i do think they have a strategy. i think there is also a huge gap between what they are trying to achieve and whatter th they arey to achieve. >> capitulation and implosion have been tried 40 years since the revolution and neither of which has happened. one thing has happened. during the tanker wars of the 1980s, there was disruption in the straits of hermes. i want you to walk us through the stakes. if the u.s. is saying toal its allies, no more buying of iranian oil, iran is saying if you threaten us we'll threaten yours, a third of all traffic goes through those straits of hermes. what is the likelihood of that being blocked? >> at moments of tension, they have threatened for decades on closing the straits of hormoos. it is strategic of a suicide bombing for iran. they would hurt other people but they would abov

this is an iranian exile group that has close to zero support among the iranian population. so this notion they're actually concerned about democracy in iran is bunk. it's silly, it's based on nothing except for a lack of policy at the top that has its origins in trump's oppositions to the jcpoa for political and not substantive reasons. >> to follow up on that, you've got the president on one hand who you say and others say is motivated politically to unravel this deal because of his predecessor and things like that. what about the rest of the administration? is there any coherent policy that is perhaps being put together outside the purview of trump, or is it just total incoherence? whoever wants to. >> just one point of incoherence before i hand it off. there is kind of almost a perfect laboratory test going on to see whether or not trump's opposition to the jcpoa is based on substance. he's gone to negotiate directly face to face with north korean leader kim jong-un, and he's praised himself for the success of those discussions. he says there is no longer a north korean

leaders but iranian people as well and so how this is going to play out how president hassan rouhani is government is likely to respond well we've heard in the past there is such a large trust deficit between to her own in washington at the moment that it is unlikely that the rouhani government will see this as a sincere overture from the united states and it's unlikely that these talks will happen so i must ravi that live from the iranian capital. syrian state television says government forces are attacking i sit on two fronts in the out of the base in a region close to the border with jordan. threatening to kill civilians on wednesday i saw fighters killed dozens of people and abducted eighteen more in attacks in some way the province the armed group only has a few pockets of territory in the south west. russia iran and turkey are brokering the latest round of talks on syria's war it's expected to focus on revising syria's constitution finding a political solution to end the seven year conflict hoda abdel-hamid is that this meeting insults you so how is day to expected to ravel wel
