next year marks the 40th anniversary of the islamic republic revolution in iran. at this milestone, we have to ask, what has the iranian revolution given to the iranian people? the regime reaps a harvest of suffering and death in the middle east at the expense of its own citizens. iran's economy is stagnant and without direction and about to get worse. its young people are withering under the weight of frustrated ambitions. they are longing to pursue the freedoms and opportunities of the 21st century. iran's leaders can change all of this if they choose to do so. khomeini has been supreme leader since 1989. he will not live forever. nor will the iranian people abide the rigid rules of tyrants forever. for two generations the iranian regime has exacted a heavy toll on its own people and the world. the hard grip of repression is all the millions of iranians have ever known. now is the time for the supreme leader and the iranian regime to summon the courage to do something historically beneficial for its own people. for this ancient and proud nation. as for the united

so the world's biggest economy really imposes sanctions on the islamic republic of iran it's a decision which has implications for the global oil market and multibillion dollar business deals on this week's show will look at who will pay the economic price european companies like total air bus siemens and run zero on nervously looking at their options they could risk losing access to the u.s. market and face fines if they choose to do business with iran the u.s. decision to walk away from the twenty fifteen nuclear deal also threatens to cut off a chunk of the world's crude oil supply and that's sending oil prices up we'll be looking at befall out and what sectors of the global economy are taking the biggest hits in just a few moments but first zain has the reaction from tehran. god the day after the united states tore up the nuclear deal iran set it on fire members of parliament into one burned a printout of the international pact and the american flag a show of anger and disappointment over what they say is a mistake by washington i doubt a little problem at all you more him miss nett

are taking place i don't think israel the united states or for that matter of course the islamic republic of iran really care very much about the syrian people and i think these days two things are happening in parallel and they don't necessarily overlap the other overwhelming reality is that much of the you know rebel opposition in syria has been crushed as a result of the brutality of the assad regime that by russia and iran so the chance of a flare up in any part of syria i think you know is significantly reduced now particularly after the conquest of east ghouta given the situation that we're covering at the moment what is the risk that we're going to see an escalation in this and it's going to spill out. i think that risk is quite you know significant and i think the big turning point was donald trump's speech yesterday which could have been written by benjamin netanyahu i think there is a plan in place between washington israel and saudi arabia to to really try and go after iran in the region to provoke a conflict with iran and we're seeing this happening before our eyes iran is most weakes

i gave some remarks yesterday on the president's strategy with respect to the islamic republic of iran. i think it is important that i reemphasize that the tasks that iran needs to undertake aren't that difficult. i have seen reports that these are fantasy, and that they can't happen. we ask for things that are very simple, that most nations of the world engaged in. we ask them to stop firing missiles into riyadh. that is not a fantasy to imagine asking the iranians not to fire missiles into another nation and threaten american lives to travel through that airport. it is not a fantasy to ask them to cease engaging in terror. these were all demands we put on the rest of the world. if it was the case that some other country in the middle east desired to build a nuclear weapons system, we would work to stop them too. these are a set of simple requirements that the iranian regime could easily comply with, and it would benefit the iranian people to an enormous extent. frankly, what we laid out seems like a pretty straightforward set of requirements we would put on any country in the world t

al assad in the country's civil war israel fears this is part of iran's strategic expansion in the middle east. tribute of the islamic republic of iran the us was recently revealed by an intelligence operation is the greatest threat to the peace of mankind in general and the middle east and israel in particular. israel says that strikes were retaliation for rocket attack on territory occupies on the golan heights according to israel iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach the target. it's the most serious direct military confrontation and that between israel and iran. and. here at russia the u.s. and the u.n. cling for restraint. no he's getting more done there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid them that's what i told the reigning president rouhani and i'll pass on the message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin who in the statements in recent days seems to share the goal of stability and avoiding escalation steady still need to get. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. ok was this escalation

region saudi arabia doesn't exist in a vacuum it's a vital region they're very hostile to the islamic republic of iran so a lot of questions are being asked about saudi arabia and what's really going on and how things are changing that is a great fantastic cliff note we appreciate it r.t. correspondent and thanks for your time as always. the trump administration has delayed a critical decision on whether to apply tariffs on imported metals to the european union and other allies president trump has kicked the can down the road for a month to make to before he makes that call prolonging uncertainty for many nations which produce steel and aluminum this is irritated some u.s. allies while causing problems for a number of american businesses here at home as we've discussed last week french president manual mccrone and then and then also driven chancellor angela merkel were in washington depressed their case against tariffs impacting the european union directly to president trump for more on this we're joined by our correspondent alex were high live in toronto alex what's the latest. well you remember the

anya's remarks from the white house donald trump made quite a few accusations against the islamic republic of iran he accused them of killing and torturing americans he called them the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and he referred to their activities in syria as quote sinister now it's important to note that as centrally in syria the iranian revolutionary guard corps has been there supporting the syrian government and out they've been key in some of the key operations driving i still from the country and defeating the i.c.l. al nasra terrorists this is some of what donald trump had to say about why he was withdrawing the united states from the iran nuclear agreement. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the a rand nuclear deal in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating u.s. nuclear sanctions on the uranium regime. now essentially trump is doing what he said he would do on the campaign trail he said he was going to rip up the iran deal which he referred to as a quote bad deal he seems to be fulfilling his campaign promise almo

so i am very hopeful that they will join us in our effort to cease that activity by the islamic republic of iran thank you thank you mr chairman about today's lawmakers speaking to my pompei of the u.s. secretary of state flattering questions really between the situation as regards north korea and also the iran deal speaking about how he hopes the european allies will join him let's cross to victory victory's been good enough to stay with as we've been speaking about what's been happening in north korea and about america's . failed really mission to go through at the summit in june next year victor victor is director of the china national association of international studies victor one of the most i catch ing remarks about the whole situation was a but washington saying that if they're not perfect the situation north korea is going to turn in to libya the north african state which is in a state of conflict the capital tripoli in a very bad way what do you think was meant by that. not think this is exactly the wrong message that the united states is to the. rest of the world the libya situation i

to the decision to move the embassy and from there she proceeded to point a finger at the islamic republic of iran to blame iran for unrest and difficulties throughout the region we later heard from the united kingdom the united kingdom was supportive of israel but was not in agreement with the united states about the need the embassy moving said that the determination of where embassies should be and what israel's capital would be would be determined in negotiations and we heard from bolivia a longtime critic of israel that was very critical of israel's actions and we've heard from sweden other countries are also speaking out this is a bold meeting and all eyes at this point are on the security council as different countries step up and speak on this resolution put forward by kuwait and there have been widespread condemnations of israel's recent actions this u.n. security council meeting seems to be reflective of a lot of the sentiments in the international community which are harshly critical of what israel has recently done against protesters. officials have been calling for an international re

, we will insist that there should be onextraterritorial influence other partners of the islamic republic of iran. there are w.t.o. rules about that. far are other measures as as i understand, our european partners want to use this out of the approach with the u.s. partners. i don't know if this will work. i just want to stress that this is not just about germany, france, the u.k., but to all the parties involved in this deal. t would be proper for one or two or three countries out of this group to seek to be exempt from that. ignoring the effect that there are also other parties, other countries involved in the deal. and it's not just six countries that trade with iran. most countries in the world trade with iran, so we should think about those countries and your second question was on what -- agh, the minister stall meeting and when it might happen. we support the initiative but we need to prepare for this meeting and as far as a specific date, we need to work something out. i hope that it will not be postponed for a long time. we need to find a date that everybody will be happy with. and this
