we don't make a distinction between the iranian government and the iranian shia militia are around the middle east. the president spoke on that recently after attacks on our properties in basra. with respect to our work with the allies, i'm in regular touch not only with our european partners but met a couple of days ago with the moroccan foreign minister, in regular conversations with countries around the world who are increasingly worried about the missile proliferation threat. i think nations are increasingly uncomfortable limiting the scope of the discussion on iran to just the iran nuclear deal, and it's very important that nations become more aware of the dangers that this kind of proliferation presents to their own people. iron is not really constraining its missile development and its proliferation and its testing. if we want to have a stable and prosperous middle east, it starts with constraining iran. >> and you mentioned, you know, again, talking about that missile in particular that landed in saudi. we've been collecting, we've we've been collecting as a country have been c

you know on their mentality today is very iranian. today's iranian woman wants to express herself to show herself in the best possible light. that she is. a. chance when i turned forty or fifty years ago that didn't exist i mean everyone was emulating the west. today they're proud of themselves and that is a good thing so they used techniques his instruments for their works. but they want to express their own feelings. want to. call you up and this is an interconnection a marriage between iran and the west between east and west. is there was huge. shout of welcome. to the. dark as it was today more than ever the children of the revolution are emancipating themselves and questioning their role and that of the islamic republic not going to let us have. this that's the law as adults or at our generation dares to show itself more we women want to prove that if you men are allowed to have your way and do whatever you want and we women can do the same even though we have no place to do it we'll take it anyway yes our generation is definitel

hurting the iranian people. you're making a case for a war with iran.. -- ma'am -- ma'am -- >> you doing the same thing we did in the case of iraq, we don't want another war in the middle east. -- ma'am -- your part of the rapture now. -- ma'am -- ma'am -- let's get real, no more war, peace with iran . >> at least she had her coffee this morning. >> thank you, brian for those remarks. thank you. thank you all for your patience through that. so, brian, i think one of the things you said, possibly the most interesting thing you said was that, the iran deal which is supposed to have a moderating effect on the regime , in fact did not have that effect and the missile activity in particular was something that did not seem to be phased by this deal. that was one of the criticisms from those of us who were concerned about the deal, because the missile program went hand in glove, even if they abided by the deal, they could continue their missile program and if they broke out or cheated, they could then marriott, did you

themselves through iranian thinks it was after. the revolution many artists became revolutionaries. others who they were artists who took part in the revolution. and wanted to express things related to it you know their name and only a little more bloodshed and society stares or each and all these they were politically minded as you all see with them to his. pervious town of ali is for milieu or with the experiences of iranian artists in recent decades he is one of the most prominent internationally as well. he wants to teach his students it is not the iranian in their work that makes them artists but the art they carry within themselves. that has more you're going to have and that the focus is less on trying to get an iranian artist out of us than on trying to get us out of us he wants to know what we're capable of what makes up our essence. he wants to know why we should be turned into a new artist he wants to know what's inside of us and wants us to represent exactly that he has made it possible for us to believe in ourselves ba

even within the iranian. one of the things they have done some of the militias they addressed them up in syrian military clothes and gave them ids so they could be fighting next to the regime. this has not also helped. they didn't have the amount of people they could have had to carry-on this attack. so there are all of these different elements that have played within the question of where the international community had to come together and find a solution that was not based on military solution which has now created which we considered an opportunity for a real push for a political solution. because this is the crux. this is where it actually pushes the balance to a military solution or to a political solution and we have seen that it's the military push that has the regime used and russia and its allies. what we are seeing now is that there is international community involved specifically with the american involvement that there is a further push that we need to solve this politically. we're hoping this wi

the architect artist and collector left his homeland a year before the iranian revolution. dba knows the tehran collection more intimately than most for he was once closely associated with it and he still spends a lot of time thinking about what's become of it he is the architect who designed the tehran museum of contemporary art in the one nine hundred seventy s. . devo was also its first director the tehran museum of contemporary art held the largest and most valuable collection of contemporary art outside europe and north america. tehran the capital of iran in the one nine hundred seventy s. the city experienced a rapid transformation into a modern metropolis western consumer goods were readily available the surge in oil prices allowed the city to become a hug for international business and lifestyle. the only thing missing was a place to show modern art. empress. actively promoted culture and art in iran. because more than mccarthy. today she lives in paris she left iran for a life in exile on january sixteenth one thousand nine hundred seventy nine and headed to the ci

if what they actually want is is peace on their terms and to rid yemen of any iranian influence. no no this is not true i mean the piece the terms of the united nations resolution twenty two sixteen end of story and this is very clear why not the united nation or mr griffiths you know what cards to implement this your united nations resolution twenty two sixteen and the stand of the legitimate so you know governments and the allied forces i mean the. coalition that a coalition is ok the who thing you are not allowed to be in a two to control the whole yemen you are. a minority or you are in a part of the me yemenis people so if you want to get involved in that in the political process we are most welcome but as a military as a militia ok as a militia armed by iran. the sole enemy of the out of snow this is not accepted. the arabs allied forces they will not accept at all that the who thier will become like cause by law in lebanon or the militias in iraq no way no way they want not accept that at all so it's very clear if you want to do if you want to make peace if you are you kno

i listed 12 things the iranians have to do for us to get back in a relationship with them. when you read through them, they're nothing more than what we ask belgium to do. like stop launching rockets into major international airports, for starters. it seemed daunting, but at the end of the day, just be a normal country. it's not just sanctions. five capitals, right. beruit, and we are pushing back in each of those capitals, in each of those places with every tool available to achieve that goal, to get the iranian regime to behave like a normal nation. available to achieve that goal, to get the iranian regime to behave like a normal nation. >> do you want to address the others or i'll come back to them? >> i'll address them. >> the other one is how we can help israel further or what are the positives with the syrian kurds? >> we've worked closely with the syrian kurds in my time with this administration. they've been great partners. we are now driving to make sure they have a seat at the table. the political process that i referred, the hardest part we haven't made progress

to get the iranians out.and putin is understands this and so what he is saying to prime minister netanyahu is, hey look, we have common interests in syria, and my interests in syria are not identical with the iranians. in the long-term. in the short-term i have a shared interest with them in defeating the opposition to the assad regime. but in the long term i don't need syria to be an iranian military base in order to achieve russian interests. so work with me, don't do anything precipitous, and eventually i'll be able to work with you to come to an agreement that will be mutually satisfactory. of course he goes to tehran and he says, don't do anything to provoke the israelis because the priority is getting the sought after and it comes out and says something similar. the effect of all that is the gradual rehabilitation of the assad regime which is the primary goal of the russians. when i look at that and ask myself a couple questions is, ,f the assad regime is rehabilitated, continue to obstruct unconstituti

a norwegian citizen of iranian background has been arrested; a norwegian citizen of iranian backgroundnish intelligence service says he was working for tehran and planning to murder an iranian arab activist living in denmark. eliza philippidis reports. this report has ended weeks of speculation about why denmark shut down bridges and ferries to sweden, on september 28, during a manhunt that mobilised hundreds of police and the military. that operation was linked to this assassination plot. on tuesday, denmark recalled its ambassador to iran. translation: it is the assessment of denamrk‘s national intelligence and security authority that a foreign country's intelligence service has planned an assassination against a person on danish ground. let me make this very clear, it is totally unacceptable and it is very serious. it is hard to find words that can describe the seriousness of this case that we are looking at. last month police said they were looking at concrete threats against specific individuals. on tuesday, the head of danish intelligence unit said the man arrested is suspected o

. -- being pro-iranian. what the saudi's have done is otis the option of being the nationalist defenders of yemeni nationalism. a very foolish thing to do. not the they are nationalist heroes of yemen. the war has been portrayed in the media increasingly as the foreigner against the native. natives all the other who are not pro-iran. who are not pro-saudi. but who are lost in the midst because it has all come down to the foreigner acting here. actually in an inflection moment in u.s. saudi relations. -- this alliance has had many near-death experiences. this is where i plug my book. this is one of those near-death experiences. whether or not the trump administration wants to admit it or not. ,e need to address the question how does the united states and saudi arabia work together for our mutual interests, which is the stability of the region, minimizing the iranian meddling role in things like that. journalists and istanbul is not the way to go forward on that. istanbul is not the way to go on that. this adm

against the national council of iranian resistance a leading group opposing the ayatollahs. were you aware of that? was that a factor in any of the decisions you have made withdrawing from these two protocols? mr. bolton: these decisions were made before we were aware of the french decision. i have to say what the french have done is exactly the right thing they arrested, and other european governments arrested, acredited iranian diplomats, accredited iranian diplomats, for conspiracy to conduct this attempted assault on the rally in paris. so that tells you, i think, everything you need to know about how the government of iran views its responsibilities in connection with diplomatic relations and i hope it's a wakeup call across europe to the nature of the regime and the threat that they pose. >> what about the tension between the united states and iran and what's our intelligence regarding our nuclear weapons etc. at this moment? mr. bolton: i'm not going to get into what our intelligence states but the issue is protecting the united states against the politicized use of t

assassinate an iranian—arab activist on its soil.omments on birthright citizenship. earlier i spoke to david bier, an immigration policy analyst at the cato institute. i asked him what the truth of this birthright citizenship issue is. well, certainly it looks like this is a political move, rather than something of a serious legal policy consideration. very few legal scholars in the united states think that you can change birthright citizenship without amending the constitution, and virtually none think you can do it through an executive order. so president trump is really out on a limb here, and i think he's hoping that this plays well before the mid—term elections on 6 november. to assume for a moment that he is serious enough about it to consider trying to change the constitution, what are the chances of that? well, changing the constitution is not going to happen, and certainly not on a contentious point like this one. that would require both houses of congress to agree, as well as two—thirds of the states. so the idea that, you

with iranians. of course it's really politics, it's also domestic politics and the fact that the americans are sanctioning the european cooperations which were engaging to totally legitimate trade in iran, setting cars or the normal trade, as of course political consequences. our is to the entrce that the us report punish foreign companies doing business in a foreign country. >> is the reality of the american sanctions, more and more difficult to accept by the political opinion and we are also to take into account the european opinion so what we are telling the americans was okay, on one side the nuclear deal. this agreement which is agreed so let's see whether we can work together on the other issues, on the other issues. but it's also difficult on our side because of the medical opinion and it means also that we are expecting our american friends to make gestures. for instance, the humanitarian groups. course, humanitarian groups are notsanctioned . but the fact is that the banks are so terrified

most iranians believe the timing suits the purposes of iran's untag in the us and but in any case iranians are also very skeptical about the intentions of the french because the any case is a cult it is a terrorist organization they killed seventeen thousand the iranians in the one nine hundred eighty s. and then they fought for saddam hussein as mercenaries and when i was a teenager i recall a bomb explosion less than a kilometer away from our house where i think nine or eleven people were killed including an armenian family of four and all our windows were broken so iranians have very dark memories about the role that this group played in the support that western countries have given it so it's ironic that. the french are arresting iranians in order to acting the reality that they're harboring terrorists a but isn't just the m.e. k. that's the same is this the french government it's french diplomatic sources who are saying that they have what they're calling credible intelligence that the iranian ministry of intelligence is is behind this attack and you you're saying that people in iran

if what they actually want is is peace on their terms and to rid yemen of any iranian influence. no no this is not true i mean the peace the terms of the united nations resolution twenty two sixteen end of story and this is very clear why not the united nation or mr griffiths you know how our current to implement this your united nations resolution twenty two sixteen and the stand of the legitimate so you know governments and the allied forces i mean the. coalition that a coalition is ok the who you are not allowed to be in a two to control the whole yemen you are. a minority or you are in a part of the me yemenis people so if you want to get involved in that in the political process you're most welcome but as a military as a militia ok as a militia armed by iran that their sole enemy of the arabs know this is not accepted. the arabs allied forces they will not accept at all that the who theory will become like cause by law in lebanon or the militias in iraq no way no way they want not accept that at all so it's very clear if you want to do if you want to make peace if you are yo

and then assets being frozen with iranian intelligence and other iranian suspects. >> thank you for that. now to italy. the mayor of a small town in the south of the country, a man who became a symbol for welcoming migrants to italy has been placed under house arrest for allegedly aiding illegal immigration. our rome correspondent covering the story for a spirit she joins us from rome. give us the details on this things --it >> everyone across italy's is asking how is it possible that the mayor of -- come of this tiny town, domenico lugano could be accused of crimes. after a lengthy investigation by the police, they have accused him of aiding and of aiding illegal immigration, promoting marriages, and misusing public funds for the allocation of garbage contracts in this town. he has been a hero for many people, not only in italy, but around the world. he was named by fortune magazine as one of its top leaders in one of -- just a couple of years back. he has rebuilt what was essentially a ghost town, one of these towns where many people emigrated abroad and had a dying population. migrant

or pro-iranian media. so it is definitely a victory for iran to scale back the role of saudi arabia in yemen because there is so much i think emotional upheaval in terms of what is going on and rightly so. but we have to here think about the intention. and what is the overall strategy? what is it that the united states wants to do in the long term? if you want to drop yemen like a hot potato, that's fine. you know, it's going to have devastating consequences on yemen. what does that mean for the strategic relationship between saudi arabia and the united states? and i think it is much more of a really structural relationship. the united states depends on saudi for intelligence sharing, stopping crucial threats to the united states. one thing i wanted to mention briefly is that there is a conspiracy theory in the arab world that the war in yemen continues because the united states wants to extort saudi arabia and wants to get the biggest amount of money that it can have. you know, it is quite interesting, bu

if what they actually want is peace on their terms and to rid yemen of any iranian influence. no no this is not true i mean the piece the terms of the united nations resolution twenty two sixteen end of story and this is very clear why not the united nation or mr griffiths you know what cards to implement this your united nations resolution twenty two sixteen and the stand of the legitimate so you know governments and the allied forces i mean the. coalition that a coalition is ok the whole thing you are not allowed to be in a two to control the whole yemen you are. a minority or you are in a part of the me yemenis people so if you want to get involved in the in the political process you're most welcome but as a military as a militia ok as a militia armed by iran that their sole enemy of the out of snow this is not accepted. the arabs allied forces they will not accept at all that the who thing will become like cause by law in lebanon or the militias in iraq no way no way they want not accept that at all so it's very clear if you want to do if you want to make peace if you are

iranian expectation is that. the. next. task for the all sanctions that are threatening sanctioning iran is preventing american companies from doing business with iran is basically bullying the whole of the international community and saying we will punish anyone one who does. with iran and therefore the. violating the sovereignty of a country part of the world even their own allies and the european union and the united states is trying to strangle iran in order to make ordinary people suffer so that they could for pressure on iran just as what they're doing for example yemen though in their more that would work stream case where they're trying to create starvation . solution to get their way in our line is incredible we will try and keep talking a little bit further if we can side because i want to speak a little about the actual ruling because it is quite limited in what i'd say that talks about humanitarian issues and it only does not mean that the other aspects. are illegal are illegal against iran that iran is doing so

opposition rally in paris, resulting in the arrest of several iranian diplomats, really iranian intelligence agents. you saw in this country, indictments against iranian agents scoping out the israeli targets and jewish targets in yesterday, we saw the danish government announced the arrest of more iranian intelligence officials planning and assassination in denmark. awareness of this regime was not fundamentally changed by the 2015 nuclear deal , but it failed in its foundational premise, that if you could only solve the nuclear issue, everything else would be resolved. i think the pressure is growing and people understand there has to be fundamental change in the behavior of the iranian regime to get them to come back to the table and that is what they are after. to be clear, when the president , i readimum pressure that to mean "maximum pressure." >> we had a question here. >> my name is aaron o'malley with fox news. if you could say one thing -- o'malley, what is the agenda for the presidents meeting with putin next weekend? paris, thein armistice day celebration, it will be brief. looks

intention to move those elements out of syria until it is one individual from the pentagon put it all iranian elements are out of syria and he added perrin that ickle a and isis and other elements like isis or thoroughly defeated so that tells me that regardless of what president trump might want to have as a policy which i think is to eventually leave syria substantially we're there we're very much there we talk more about that what is the current american goal in syria because under obama it did seem like america didn't quite know what it wanted to do exactly the strength now what it wants there. it's a good question it's a question i asked my students about everything from u.s. russia policy to u.s. policy with regard to venezuela no one knows and this is the mystery of this administration it's a conundrum what trumps policy is from monday to tuesday to the end of the week so it's very difficult other than listening to strident voices like those of john bolton the neoconservative nutcase in my view or mike pompei o who is not far from that definition some other spokes person for the admini

which was deemed to be in violation of the iranian sanctions which busted iranian sanctions some time ago so they're looking for some sort of economic easy ride from the united states they don't want to be put under pressure and i suppose that possibly one of the reasons why they're upping the rhetoric and in order to make their bargaining position stronger. and so that they know at the end of the day will not embarrass the united states policy let's talk about you know i say his policy is called make us let's bring you and hey does the relationship between the trumpet ministration and mohamed bin solomon rather than saudi arabia need to be reset in the wake of this and why isn't the trumpet ministration really looking at that it seems to me that it's almost protect the crown prince at all costs. well because this administration at one level when we talk about donald trump inner circle they don't function as a normal bureaucracy they function very much on personal ties amongst a small elite which drawl ruben was talking about and the fact is even before donald trump took office there

a court case has begun in the netherlands which pits the united states against iran iranian lawyers at the international court of justice are trying to win back two billion dollars from the us government iran says the americans are violating in one thousand fifty five friendship treaty with the us which right that the us terminated days before the case began its lawyers argue iranian leaders have been coordinating worldwide attacks for decades they must be has more from tehran. it was nine hundred eighty three in the lebanese civil war had been fought for eight years in an attack the united states would blame on iran a truck bomb explosion killed two hundred forty one marines at their barracks in beirut. fast forward to two thousand and sixteen the us supreme court upheld a ruling in the case of bank markazi versus peterson the judges froze two billion dollars in iranian assets and held iran financially responsible for acts of so-called state sponsored terrorism. fights us is defending that decision at the international court of justice in the hague first iran comes to the corner with

lawyers argue iranian leaders have been coordinating worldwide attacks for decades and as robbie has mortal terror. it was nine hundred eighty three in the lebanese civil war had been fought for eight years in an attack the united states would blame on iran a truck bomb explosion killed two hundred forty one marines at their barracks in beirut. fast forward to two thousand and sixteen the u.s. supreme court upheld a ruling in the case of bank markazi versus peterson the judges froze two billion dollars in iranian assets and held iran financially responsible for acts of so-called state sponsored terrorism. identified the us is defending that decision at the international court of justice in the hague and iran comes to the corner with unclean hands. indeed it is a remarkable shown a bad face that iran now seeks relief from this court because of the outcome of the peterson proceeding which arose from iran's support for a brutal and deadly terrorist attack an act which the iranian leadership post in iran denied any involvement in the beirut blast but at the time celebrated the incident t

turkey, however, remains dependent on iranian oil and also has said the u.s. pullout from the nuclear deal was not justified, so turkey might retain its imports at roughly this level. my bottom line conclusion is that the administration's strategy will hinge on ultimately on what china and india do. together, these two buy 60% of iran's oil exports. if those two countries remain relatively defiant of the u.s. reimposition of sanctions, iran will likely be exporting enough oil to keep its economy a float. if china and india start complying with u.n. sanctions and cut their imports of iranian oil dramatically, then i would predict the administration might achieve its goal of imposing very severe damage on the iranian economy. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you so much. it's great to be here and i will broaden the topic again a little bit. thank you to the national council on u.s.-arab relations for this important gathering. it's great to be here from the state department, and i am really pleased to be able to talk about the outlook for energy relations between

revolutionary guard our correspondents in basra be live for us in the news out in the iranian capital tehran zain do you get the feeling where you are that this is this is as far as the iranian government is going to go with this well peter it's really hard to say at this point in time we've been hearing from leaders this morning and they've been suggesting that this is only the beginning now in terms of when this attack happened there was vows by the military by the iranian revolutionary guard corps saying that they would exact a tough revenge and that's exactly what they say they've done but in terms of what the civilian and military leaders in tehran have been saying they're suggesting that this kind of action signals the beginning of a trend not the culmination of the of the events of this last week just this morning foreign minister to me addressed a question about what message these missiles were meant to send and here's what he had to say. if there were supposed to be messages the i.r.g.c. would have said so in their statement but as anywhere in the world any measures taken by

we have nothing against the iranian people. iranian are good people. we have traded and socialized with them. we have welcomed them in our country. they are a poor people and oppressed people with little freedom. they live in fear. they should be empowered by all mean to write their own future. as for the iranian regime, support of terrorism it can be stopped by eliminating global terrorist hezbollah and also by empowering the iranian minorities who are -- who are abused and crushed by the revolutionary guard, in particular, the occupied people living in extreme poverty and stripped of their basic human right and freely practice their religion of the hezbollah criminal activities have spread out from lebanon to iraq, syria, yemen, south america and elsewhere, even in the united states. it is -- it is leaders hidden out is no security given. the patient with which iran is dealt surprises me. why are the united states and its western alliance so patient with iran? do they hope that iran is the son who will -- that is a pipe dream. iran defines the united

would have had to face it in iran or they all supported assad way before i suppose we can pretend iranian support assad began with isis no no we we have good relations with that but the reason i mean countries have good relations and saudi arabia had even better relations with the last from two thousand and three to two thousand and eleven so it's not the question of who supported who it's a question of who came to fight extremists ok now that the now that the fight against extremism is in its final stages it doesn't mean that extremism is gone now we need to do a number of things first we need to do it with the issue at hand and that is it we have done our best i went to ankara i went to damascus i we had a summit in tehran all within the space of less than a week and then the summit in sochi between turkey and russia to avoid bloodshed in it now we have achieved that we have a plan to have. a political not a political but a nonmilitary solution in that we are faced with a major problem and that is foreign fighters what to do with a large number of foreign fighters who are in it these ar

the iranian people have demonstrated their unwavering resilience during the past 40 years. despite the difficulties and constraints caused by sanctions and have shown that they can overcome this difficult phase as well. the multi-millennial history of our country demonstrates that iran and iranians have never broken in the face of a storm of events , not even -- i say here in clear unambiguous terms that the united states policy vis-@-vis their republic of iran has been wrong from the beginning. it's approach of resisting the wishes of the iranian people has manifested in numerous elections is doomed to failure. iran with its historical and civilizational longevity, rich cultural heritage, and foremost geopolitical position is an undeniable reality. the policy of engagement and cooperation with iran has produced positive outcomes for other nations as best reflected in iran's cooperation with friendly countries in the fight against terrorism. the united states understanding of international relations is authoritarian. in its estimation, might makes right. it's under -- this

it is having on the iranian economy.g on the iranian economym nuclear deal and the impact it is having on the iranian economy. it is a cute impact and the oil sanctions only kicked in on fourth november, it is the secondary sanctions, you can't do banking any more, you can't do in shorrocks, even if you want to buy iranian oil now, you have huge problems ensuring the shipment of cargo —— you problems ensuring the shipment of cargo —— you can't do in —— insurance. they have talked about coming up at other means, trade in local currencies, but from practical point of view it doesn't work. local currencies, but from practical point of view it doesn't workm doesn't work. let's say i am siemens andi doesn't work. let's say i am siemens and i do this in whatever currency, i still have operations in the us which i need to safeguard, and the iranian market is relatively small, it is 80 million people, and you have the huge us market, the largest economy in the world, so for any company it is a no—brainer where they will go becau

folks, the national iranian american council said if you'd read the notion of iranian ancestry you are hopelessly bigoted and unfit to serve in the u.s. senate were tens of millions of iranians and millions more -- >> if you know anything about me, name one person who's the bigger defender of the iranian people to fight back, it was a joke about the ayatollah's ancestry. the iranian people, brave and cultured, to my liberal friends or offended, at least i didn't vote for an agreement that gave $150 billion to a man who kills iranian's in the street because they are demanding freedom and a fair election.ot i said with the iranian people and will continue to do so. i have nothing but contempt for the ayatollah and this murderous regime. it was a joke, it was directed at the ayatollah, not the iranian people. if you know anything about me if you iranian dissidents i'm on your side. shannon: can you tell us? >> my grandmother was part cherokee indian. shannon: are you being facetious? >> i was told that but i will find out. all i got to do is be one 10th of 1%, i will win the prize between

which was deemed to be in violation of the iranian sanctions which plus the iranian sanctions some time ago so they're looking for some sort of economic easy ride from the united states they don't want to be put under pressure and i suppose that possibly one of the reasons why they're upping the rhetoric and in order to make their bargaining position stronger. and so that they at the end of the day will not embarrass the united states policy let's talk about you know i say his policy is called make us let's bring you and hair does the relationship between the trumpet ministration and mohamed bin salman rather than saudi arabia need to be reset in the wake of this and why isn't the trumpet ministration really looking at that it seems to me that it's almost protect the crown prince at all costs. well because this administration at one level when we talk about donald trump his inner circle they don't function as a normal bureaucracy they function very much on personal ties amongst a small elite which drawl ruben was talking about and the fact is even before donald trump took office there w

president donald trump tweeted that he had no plans to meet iranian president hassan rouhani at the u.n. but he would quote someday in the future i'm sure he's an absolutely lovely man but you actually don't want your president to meet with trump do you why not well we're not actually that eager to meet with him because the united states is not a reliable negotiating partner. they were always saying that we want a treaty with iran now they just withdrew from the only treaty that we have with the united states because in the international court of justice ruled against them that tells you that whatever you negotiate with this president and. this is ministration they're not going to be. bound by it and that is why we're not that eager to set aside a fully negotiated document which took us almost twelve years to years of intensive negotiations between iran and the united states and be negotiated every word of one hundred fifty page document not between two countries but between just seven countries plus the european union and then it became a resolution of the security council and presiden

i believe you are stating the frustration of the beach is a general prostration of the iranian peoplehan. the united states is not a reliable partner they believe that their belief and you has been now. accepted. but they were never found very clearly were they let's just be honest there were people in iran who didn't like the fact that you were negotiating you know that of course there were people in iran and now they feel vindicated they could be indicated and they say it's a good omen do you think it's a good omen well i don't agree with them and it's because they didn't with me but i was negotiating you think it's a bad omen that the u.s. i think it's not good for the international community that one country as powerful as the united states would decide to leave international agreements and it's not just you know that they left unesco day left the climate change agreement they left nothing day late date left turns traffic part are you going to follow them is the question we know the u.s. are now leaving all these treaties we're not in and nobody's defending the u.s. here is iran n
