tired of the lack of freedom in the islamic republic, they say conversion offers a new start. it's a much needed boost to dutch church congregations. every week two traditional churches are closing in this country. but converting to christianity can carry a heavy penalty in iran and some say the refugees are onlyjoining the church so they won't be sent back. i lied to them. most iranians regard this to be the best way, it's not just me. the difficulty is that we can't look into people's minds and hearts. i've been reporting on refugee stories for many years and now i'm in the netherlands to find out why so many iranians are converting to christianity. are they born again or simply praying for asylum 7 it's a sunday morning near dorne, in the central netherlands and preparations are under way for a special ceremony. orif, an iranian student, in his 20s, is getting ready to be baptised. converting to christianity can be punished by death in iran and he's scared to show his face on camera in case it causes problems for his family back home. orif came to the netherlands over a yea

work has ranged across all of the crises familiar with the world including putin's russia, the islamic republic of iran, and of course terrorism that has deeply impacted our world. two weeks ago when i journaled to langley to interview cia director mike pompeo, i was not surprised to discover that the director was a reader of silva's. in fact, i'm more surprised when i find anyone in the world of espionage and international terror who has not read silva. daniel silva, welcome. great to have you here. >> so nice to be here, thank you. >> i wanted a novelist because a week that includes north korea with an icbm, putin, and trump in russia, and the fall of isis maybe, i thought maybe we need imagination. isis is on the ropes, raqqah has been breached, novel down to 200 yards. your book, "house of spies," is about isis. will isis be dead when raqqah and mosul are in non-isis hands? >> no. in fact, isis has been preparing for the loss of the physical caliphate or terrestrial caliphate for at least a year. they've seen that this is going to be the outcome. once the west got fully engaged in this. and

what iran has done and hasn't done, we have to remember that this is a sweetheart deal for the islamic republic is an agreement that is enormously favorable to the iranian regime. it's given them tremendous economic offsets and economic benefits. the iranians are certainly complying with the letter of the deal as the trump administration has a certified already wants and is likely to certify next week, but the iranians aren't complying with the spirit of the agreement. >> leland: shocking. >> exactly. the obama admin attrition made an enormous gamble. the answer is, we haven't done anything like that. we've given them the offsets. they reached enormous benefits, but the iranian behavior is bad ends getting worse as a result of the deal. >> leland: we saw president obama make the point that you just made, if we give the iranians are good enough deal, suddenly they will see the error of their ways and life will be grand in the middle eas middle east. it has been more than five months since president donald trump declared that he was putting a run on notice. that's turning it into a rather comfort

. >> the new iranian islamic republic would be inspired by the stern religious principles of islam, nothingbecame the enemy of the united states the moment he replaced the shah. he gave a series of sermons that condemned the loss of iranian sovereignty. >> when khomeini saw large crowds gathering in support in front of the embassy, he made the decision. i'm not going to stand against this wave. i'm going to ride it. >> there has been a persistent belief in many quarters here in iran that the united states government was plotting to restore the shah to power here. >> from the iranian standpoint, it wasn't terrorism. they looked at the embassy as an occupying force. the embassy was actually the agent for controlling iranian politics. >> khomeini issued a new warning. he said if the americans try military force to rescue the hostages, the students will kill them all and blow up the embassy. >> because of the distance from tehran to the arabian sea, a an entebbe typ raid to rescue the hostages is considered unlikely. how much longer can you go on doing this? >> we are ready to go on until marty

unlike isis, the islamic republic of iran is a powerful nationstate that remains the largest state-sponsor of terrorism. it increased, in recent years. when you look at what is happening in syria, yemen, and iraq, you can see the threat. aspires to be the power in the region. presents our biggest challenge over the long-term, and the cia will form a central role pushing back against this threat. state ande confronted nonstate actors speaking to a rogue democracy and rule of law around the world. this includes groups like a service that recruits spies, rewards those who steal secrets, and use that westernion to subvert democracies. it includes the russian government, the world foremost practitioner of measures. it has been going on for decades. the cyber domain has greatly an accelerated these activities. ofinstead -- instead of attacks, they send rows of ones and zeros. there is much work to do. youbottom line is that cannot sit in the director's chair and not see a dangerous world. the threat to the several eyes to world is real. i come from kansas, the heartland, and there is evil in the

day president trump is supposed to decide on a key matter deciding the nuclear deal with the islamic republica decision that could come at any minute. rich edson is at the state department. >> we expect that official decision shortly pray this is, as princeton university says, the student was in iran conducting research. iran says he assumed the role of a student so he could infiltrate their archives and send sensitive information to the west. iran arrested the student, 37-year-old graduate student last summer, xiyue wang. it's the provocative behavior the u.s. says continues two years after the previous administration signed a nuclear deal with iran and several other countries. congress requires the administration to certify every 90 days whether iran is complying with that agreement. the latest deadline is today. the state department says the u.s. will continue to comply with the nuclear agreement while he reviews the entire u.s. policy towards iran. president trump opposes the iran deal though iran has already received tens of billions of dollars in unfrozen assets as part of the agreement

unlike isis and its mirage of a caliphate, the is lannett republic o -- islamic republic of iran is the largest sponsor of terrorism. when you look at what is happening today in syria, yemen, and iraq, you can see the threat. buyers to be the hegemonic power of the region. iran represents our biggest need east challenge in a long-term. the cia will perform a central role in pushing back against this threat. finally, we confronted adversaries, states and nonstate actors who seek to erode democracy and the wilrule of law. this includes wikileaks that recruit spies, rewards people to steel secrets and uses that . it includes the russian government which has long been the world's foremost practitioner o. active measures. domain has greatly facilitated and accelerated these activities. instead of having to rely on agents, they can sit in a room and do us harm. it is much easier for authoritarian governments to use these tools and then it is for democracies. there is much work to do. the bottom line is it is hard to sit in the director's chair and not see a world that is dangerous. the threat

to learn how he went from here to guantanamo and back again, we traveled to the islamic republic of mauritania tribal and deeply religious nation of nearly four million people, where the sahara desert meets the sea. about the size of texas and new mexico combined, the country is due east of cuba, separated from slahi's old prison home by the width of the atlantic. you know what's there? >> slahi: yes. >> williams: guantanamo. >> slahi: guantanamo bay. >> williams: about 3,800 miles-- >> slahi: yes. >> williams: in that direction? >> slahi: i say, "goodbye. i hope never to see you again." >> williams: before we explain how slahi ended up in guantanamo in the first place, we'll tell you how a talent for languages helped him survive there. how much english did you speak when you landed in guantanamo? >> slahi: almost none. >> williams: in the office of his new apartment in mauritania, mohamedou slahi showed us how he learned english in guantanamo. he reads and writes his fourth language with some help from the u.s. navy. where did you get those glasses? >> slahi: these glasses i got from navy hos

unlike isis and its mirage of a caliphate, the islamic republic of iran is a powerful nation state that remains the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. its strength and influence continue to increase, most notably in recent years. when you look at what's happening today in syria, in yemen and in iraq, you can see the threat. tehran clearly aspires to be the hegemonic power in the region. and though we're currently focused on destroying isis, iran presents our biggest mideast challenge over the long term. and the cia will perform a central role in pushing back against this threat. and finally, we confronted adversaries, state and nonstate actors that seek to erode democracy and the rule of law around the world. this includes groups like wikileaks, a non-state hostile intelligence service that recruits spies, rewards people who steal legitimate secrets and uses that information to subvert western democracies. and it certainly includes the russian government, which has long been the world's foremost practitioner of active measures. it's been going on for decades. the cyber domain h

he's accused of spying by the islamic republic. he's been sentenced to ten years in principle.ow retired lieutenant colonel tony shafer with the london center for policy research. what do you make of the timing of this? >> well, the timing is very much made into building an advantage with the iranians. let's be clear here. this was a bad deal from the beginning. the iranians were timely able to obtain wealth from us to have the last set of prisoner released. let's remember that the obama administration did actually get caught and loretta linearly was tied up in this paying money and resources to the iranian government for their release of u.s. citizens. we paid ransom. so of course, the iranians saw that this scammed worked before. i think that they're going to try it again, and it's happening right here at the anniversary of the so-called iran nuclear deal. liz: colonel, it's been two years since the iran nuclear deal. it's not a treaty. again, it's a deal. >> correct. liz: we have four republican senators. they sent a letter to secretary of state tillerson saying you know wha

many people who thought that the iranian government, the revolutionary government in iran, the islamic republic, had influence with shia groups in beirut, as elsewhere in the middle east. iran is the major shia muslim power in the region, really in the world, and in this fractious and bloody civil war in lebanon, there were shia factions, as well as sunni muslim and nonmuslim christian factions. the most important of the militant shia factions in lebanon was hezbollah. and there were a lot of people that thought iran specifically had influence with hezbollah. i'm not going to go into detail about all of the terrible strife that occurred in beirut and lebanon in the early and mid-1980's, as well as all of the other intrigue, the violence, the terrorism, the counterterrorism, that played out across the middle east in this time. it's a large discussion. i can only touch on it here. suffice it to say that, as part of this bloody drama unfolding throughout the region, there was chaos in lebanon, and people were taken hostage because clearly those who took them hostage thought they were valuable to h

and this is the latest of tense encounters between the us and islam i can republic, navy reported 35 unsafe interactions with the iranians last year. >> keep getting closer and closer. 620:67:89 more hurdles to repeal and replace obama care. >> senators started their debate about possible options, but their first attempt at passing one did fail. but the senate rejected the plan, late last night, in the first vote on amendment to the healthcare bill. the vote 57 to 43, included nine defecting republicans, earlier in the day. senator john mccain received a standing ovation after returning to the capitol after revealing he's suffering from brain cancer he rallied for his colleagues in congress to work together. >> stop listening to the bombbasti of the loud mouths on the television and the internet. to hell with them. >> (applause). >> they don't want anything done for the public good. our inch capacity is their livlihood. let's trust each other. let's return to regular order. >> listen to him. house and senate lead letters gather later this morning, to try and negotiate a mutually acce

desantis: no funds made available by this act may be used to purchase heavy water from the islamic republic of iran. why are we doing this? you remember the jcpoa provided iran with $150 billions in sanctions relief and added the spectacle of hauling in $1.7 billion in cold hard cash dropped off in tehran, so this regime has been flush with money with the nuclear deal done with the obama station. one of the frustrating things about that was even after that deal was enacted and after all this money is flowing as a result of the deal, the obama administration -- this wasn't required by the deal, spent millions of dollars, sent millions of dollars to iran in order to get heavy water. that was a gratuitious transaction and provided more economic lifeline to iran. this is still to this day the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. there is discord in the middle east. they fund hamas in the gaza strip. they have major control over the show eat leaders are run ingram pant. and they were probably the leading source of u.s. service member deaths in iraq during the iraq campaign. they funded sh

republic. and then the third religious movement, the third wave of islamism is a gulen movement. very different. less islam, it is more about the powers, less piety, more control. the gulen movement also represents the success of kemalism in turkey. this is another contradiction we need to unpack. now, i have five minutes. let me move very fast to move to the second argument that is the work of correlation posters. i was a the second argument doesn't make sense because the gulenists would never trust kemalists or nationalists to even organize something such imports. because one of the key terms in the gulen movement is -- in turkey means caution or to be very careful, and the gulenists would never sit together with the kemalists officers to discuss organize, or the nationalists, such a critical thing. i think it doesn't, both the argument do not make much sense by knowing how the gulenists networks function. but there are some generals, i think, are a number of other people, they didn't know what to do. i would never consider them as a gulenist of what i know and what i read of h
