it did not address the broad range of iranian threats. now that we are out of the deal, we have a lot more diplomatic freedom to pursue the entire range of iran's threats. >> just a couple weeks ago, there was all this talk about meeting with iran without preconditions, being willing to do so. can you just clarify this now? you mentioned that iran first needs to show that it's serious. is that right? before you will engage iran, they need to do something to show that they're serious? what is the precondition? >> the president has spoken on this and so has the secretary. >> but it's never clear. >> we don't think it's unclear. the secretary has presented 12 areas where iran needs to change its behavior. that is our strategy. we have launched a campaign of maximum economic pressure and diplomatic isolation of iran in order to advance those 12 requirements. the president has also said that he is prepared to talk with the iranian regime. those two things occur on parallel track. >> so before that happens, iran needs to show that they are seri

israel it iranian facilities , almost all of iranian facilities on may 10. they wanted israelis to attack them, but they were not prepared . iran is not prepared to go to a major conflict or a major 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. i would like to basically -- 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

the americans want to crush the iranian people, they want to humiliate the iranian people and that'sgoing to work. you call it crushing, the americans would say a fundamental realignment of iran's foreign policy is in particular. it's interesting, is it not, mike pompeo, when he talked about the strongest sanctions in history being imposed also pointed to the 12 us conditions that would see those sanctions lifted and, in essence, if one gets to the heart of it, they demand that iran completely end the significant bulk of its nuclear programme, they end further ballistic missile development, end support for groups like hezbollah and the houthis in yemen, and conduct a complete withdrawal from syria. now, i suspect you're going to tell me absolutely none of that is going to happen, but in that case, iran is going to face indefinite and extremely punishing economic consequences. well, first of all, there are a host of countries that will continue to co—operate with iran, especially asian countries. and i think across the world, people are recognising that the united states is behaving i

still, iranians state in syria. parlay they wanted to their victory over the opposition into a permanent base in syria. to be a permanent presence in syria. and to challenge israeli power and influence in the region. the u.s. should say that is not acceptable to us either. and iran really has no place to permanently base itself inside syria. same thing in yemen. some commanders have started is behindt suleiman th the mischievous affairs of iran in the region. of course, we knew that. >> all of those things were happening inside -- >> all of that. so they have to translated into policy. aside from what the united states can do internally, i agree with my colleagues about how the sanctions can affect the behavior of the regime and can affect the protesters on the streets. but we should not forget about the regional that mention, the intervention of direct -- iran. if you want to hit iran, not being necessarily connect, hit politically, it militarily, you can do it in syria. you can do it in iraq, in yemen. do, you are

>> i would say there would be an effect on iranian economy. iranians definitely would be harmed. i have no doubt about it. already we have seen some negative consequences on the iranian economy. however, i need to mention perhaps three points. the first point is the fact that iran has been under u.s. sanctions for 40 years. therefore, i can say the iranians are the most experienced country and nation on the u.s. sanctions. they have been able to handle the u.s. sanctions, multilateral continue and survive, their strategies. domestically or regionally or internationally. the second point is that during the first term of president --ma, the u.s. were able international consensus to bring u.n. security council sanction iran. international consensus. russia agreed. china agreed. it was because there were six u.n. resolutions on the iranian nuclear program which iran was not ready to accept. however, this time while the deal has been achieved, while iran has signed, the u.s. signed, the other permanent members of the united nations security council signed, the u.n. passed resolution a

i think in the iranian mind said moving or pushing away the threats from the iranian borders has been a constant and it's very a strong and it can mobilize economic you know. forces and energy to tackle that and that's very strong and i don't think this will soon be removed from the iranian interests. in order to compensate the sense of strategic solitude that they experienced during those years. iran has developed to a thin metric defense of policy one as its ballistic missile program which given the fact that it doesn't have an air force is the only way that it can reach its rivals or enemies on their soil and the second is what they call a forward defense policy which is based on hiring partners and proxies away from its borders so that it can actually be terror direct attack on iranian soil. as well la is the crown jewel of this forward defense policy. his one year can do the slutty shit on hezbollah is a strategic ally of iran a good bit about how you look at this lebanese group has the same ideology as iran is would like to hit it to be. dead we see how so it is naturally a very

most of the iranians here are highly educa you'd almost think that every iranian studied to be a doctory. >> erdbrink: because all iranians study something really smart, right? >> yeah. >> erdbrin and you're going to be, like, doctor super-smart? >> hopefully a psychiatrist. >> erdbrink: why all iranians are so smart? >> i don't know-- because theyli had, like, a har in iran, so when they come here, they want to be the best they can be. and, like, i guess, a doctor is the best that you can be, educational-wise. ♪ >> erdbrin what is the american dream? get rich. and, if at all possible, get famous. iranian migrants, of course, want to achieve the same goals. and goorgen zargarian was successful in making it. he started a car repair shop, won the lottery, and also provei to be an a entertainer, when a video clip he made promoting his mpany went viral on the internet. >> hey, baby. how does your car run? do you have ouble with your transmission? ♪ shift it, shift it, in forward shift it, shift it, in reverse ♪ domestic or foreign. i please you with my service ♪ shift it, shift it, in forwa

my guest is iranian political analyst professor mohamed marandi. on the brink of an economic and political crisis? mohammad marandi, in tehran, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. there is a time delay on this line, but nonetheless, my first question isa simple but nonetheless, my first question is a simple one. there was a lot of hope around the re—election of president rouhani last year. it seems to have evaporated. why? well, obviously there are a host of difficulties that exist in iran, mostly economic. the dissatisfaction that exists in the country according to polls is focused on jobs and inflation. but we have to take into account the fact that the united states has not abided by its side of the bargain in the nuclear deal. when the iranians signed on to the nuclear deal, and gave significant concessions, they did this in order to ease tensions and to prevent the united states from continuing to have an excuse against iran and the americans were supposed to abide by their side of the bargain, and they didn't. under 0bama, they didn't. the united

issued back in may amounts to a complete capitulation on the part of the iranian government to every american demand i don't know going back to the foundation of the islamic republic so sanctions can work if the demands being being placed on the target country seem reasonable enough relative to the pain being endured but i think the problem with us. sanctions in general is that the united states believes that the that our economic pressure will will force many other countries to capitulate and i think the evidence with one important exception shows that countries do not capitulate the exception of course is the joint comprehensive plan of action the iran nuclear deal concluded in two thousand and fifteen where the iranians did agree to substantial restrictions on their nuclear program including on their civilian nuclear program in exchange for the relaxation of sanctions but even in that case the united states left in place many of the a number of critical economic restrictions that denied the iranian some of the benefits of the relaxation of sanctions and now of course the trump adm

i think iranian have a very cold-blooded approach. protesting tehran and you tell me at the protest over and they have the official blessing. and there is a number of journalist and so this is tailor-made to have that commitment and fighting israeli aggression. because they didn't want to be dragged into a more to have those citizens killed have the pressure put on the regime. but right now by a large and to act in the very careful way with that regional status quo and balance of power without having them spiraled out of control. i don't dismiss it but by a march mode -- by and large with what they don't want. that doesn't mean they don't escalate but then you have the attempted assassination but all the while the possibility and then to believe that is in their interest. but then with that miscalculation. >> it with that most severe internal situation. and to have that not the demonstration against the regime. or with that conflict. so that is the concern that i have but then all those others or the coast of yemen. that they hit a u.

the sanctions target the iranian financial system including government purchases of u.s. dollars the trading of gold and other precious metals and of industrial goods and software. they hit up the sales of iranian real the government bond sales and the automotive industry. in anticipation of the sanctions coming into effect the iranian real has been in freefall and that's already being felt on the streets of iran sanctions have definitely had an impact whether it's on currency exchange rate or the price of gold they have resulted in the loss of many jobs will be caught in good and if the dollar goes up the price of everything will go up but at the end people should have some patience and tolerance towards the sanctions. very good when you can own a house that i haven't but you know if it continues like this we won't have a good life in the future it will be better to have reforms and i hope our government will think about us people yes they did mass so it had to shift. that one does not want and don't have to fixate not a sentiment that washington hopes could draw to arou

iranian and global audiences recognize the iranian carpet as a piece of art. it has been a little painful for me that the price of the iranian carpets has risen a lot and now it's on affordable to everyone in the past it was common for people to cover every corner of their houses in carpets. and especially sad irony for carpet dealers is that the united states is their largest market in the medical procedure and latin america has put sanctions on iranian carpets but if you look at american buildings and family homes you see iranian carpets on the floor as i saw in a video i think even u.s. president donald trump's daughter has an iranian carpet in her room traditionally persian carpets are meant to portray the guardians of having iranian say the latest sanctions earn attack on the very fabric of iranian identity and an attempt by america to make trouble in paradise zain bus ravi carriage. time for us to take a look at the top stories here it out jazeera a plane has crashed on catch an island that's in the u.s. state of washington officials at the main airport
