it has accused iran of breaching the deal known as the jcpoa. the u.s. withdrew from it two years ago. >> the delegations expreress thr posisition that the u.s. beiein country that has withdrdrawn fr the jcpoa does not have the legal ground or legal standing to trigger. >> meanwhile iran seems to be looking for a way forwarard. they agreed to two inspections by the international atomic energy agency. it had earlier denied access to the sites. the new country cheering the u.n. security council is sticking with last month's decision on the u.s. claim. 13 members of the counsel have opposed it. nyjer's ambassador to the u.n. says it will take no further action. for more details, my colleague spoke earlier to a professor at ko university and an expert on iran and the middle east. >> the u.s. seems to be pressuring other members of the international community to isolate iran, but the other nuclear deal members don't seem to be coming along with this. how do you see the situation? >> well, the europeans to begin with are not totally satisfied with the iranian

>> well, i think that iran as a participant in the jcpoa, which has observed the rules of jcpoa, which of restraint and patience is in a position to say how we want to proceed. not the united states. the united states has an extremely bad record. i think it is the united states that has to show that it's committed to this deed, that it will not violate it again, that it will not make demands outside the scope of the deal, that it will compensate iran for the damages. the united states withdrew from jcpoa for no reason. it incurred damages on the iranian people. today iran is not able to even buy vaccines for influenza because the united states does not allow us to transfer the money. right now, as we speak, our order to buy vaccines for influenza, not for covid, vaccines for influenza, is waiting for an authorization by the united states to pay our own money. not to pay their money, we're not asking anybody for donation. so the united states, whoever is the president, it is immaterial for us who sits in the white house. for us what is important is how they behave. and the united states

approval for the jcpoa. president trump is now exercising our rights to protect america and allies. the iranian regime has repeatedly lied about its nuclear weapons program, tohive, and denied access international inspectors. these actions send a clear message that such conduct will not be tolerated. the is also sending a message to the international community that they must turn away from the malign activities of iran. rather than waste resources chasing after nuclear bombs, the iranian regime should provide the irani and people with what they want and deserve, a thriving and prosperous iran. a new dawn has arisen in the middle east. the abraham accords signed at the white house last week represent a significant step towards peace in the middle east. iran should use this moment in history, they should forswear terror, hegemony, and the pursuit of nuclear weapons and put away old grievances. iran should join its neighbors, facing a better future based on progress, shared interests, and shared goals. the president has made it clear that if iran is willing to choose the path of peace,

it really boils down to runs behavior- even while it wawas negotiating the jcpoa. and before the u. s. began to impose reimpose some sanctions inin two thousand eighteen. iran was engngaging in many many different forms of behavior that often you know acceptable to all of us. building it's a missile program intervening in lebanon and syria- in yemen supporting terrorist groups- supporting us as a nation efforts all over the world over the last few years- its interventions in the ararabian gulf agagainst the freedom of navigation links i in all of ths on the part of iraq. and that is why the presidedent pulled ot of the jcpoa what we would like is a really comprehensive. the rod that deals with all of those aspects of iran's behavior. i can see what you're saying about about the need for a broader approach to this will matter but honing in again on. the j. c. p. o. a. the nuclear deal of twenty fifteen and that decision by donald trump to pull up any date- even if the u. n. tomek agency didn't see any problems about what iran is doing effects that they were. at hearings allll the- th

certainly, biden would immediately begin working with allies in the jcpoa to get back where we were. iranian supreme leader would suddenly approve it, not with near-term iranian presidential elections coming up because that would support the moderate, and he has no intention of bailing out. it would take pressure off, no question. over time, i think you would move to a more cooperative stance. conversation, wish we could have you on for maybe another hour. thank you as always, ian bremmer. much more, next. this is bloomberg. ♪ kevin: this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television and radio. from washington, d.c. i'm kevin cirilli. taylor: from new york, i'm taylor riggs. i want to get to some of the key economic data out today. with us right now is mike mckee. helpd 9:45, you were so all with the market pmi data. and then we had those crucial ism manufacturing data. looking better than expected. mike: both coming in at a reasonable level. certainly for the ism data, better than expected. 56 on the index, which is the best we have had since 2018. there is strength in manufacturing

and its european participant, or e3, tweeted you iran's uranium stoce is more than set by the jcpoa.er nations must wake up to the reality that the nuclear deal is history and join us in opposing strong sanctions. pressure and competence of talks are the only path forward. so far the u.s. hasn't had luck getting other countries to go along with so-called snapback sanctions aimed to be put in place with if iran pilots nuclear deal. set to expire in october, it's up to washington's unilateral sanctions to get the pressure on a still-defiant tehran. >> iranians are going to continue with their nuclear program at least until what they see happens with the american election. >> and that's a wild card. whoever is the winner in november to face a dangerous challenge in iran that most say will take more talking and pressure to resolve. bret. >> bret: greg palkot in london, thanks. tonight at 11:00 p.m., shannon bream has an exclusive interview with secretary of state mike pompeo. don't want to miss that. up next, controversial new diversity rules for the oscars. ♪ veterans like liz and mike.

position, i will be firm with them, but fair, so i cannot start taking political sides and say that jcpoa no, we provide with a mutual technical assessment that allows eventually those world powers to come to those right decisions. but you know what, mr grossi, this is fascinating because it gets to the heart about whether multilateral institutions like yours can actually function in the 21st century world because on the one hand the americans are saying is that what the iranians are doing is outrageous and that anyone who still backs the international agreement and does not impose sanctions, is, to quote the secretary of state mike pompeo, "choosing to side with the ayatollahs," this is the american position. 0n the other hand, you have the chinese and russians, saying, "absolutely no way. we won't countenance reimposition of sanctions and if the iaea dares to suggest there are problems with iran that suggest the americans are right, then they will withdraw support from you. you are caught in the middle. you are in a desperate squeeze. i don't think so. yeah, i am caught between a rock a

so i cannot start taking political sides and saying jcpoa is good or bad, sanctions, yes or no.essment that allows, eventually, those world powers that you are mentioning to come to the right decision. yeah, but you know what, mr grossi? this is fascinating, because it gets to the heart of whether multilateral institutions such as yours can actually function in the 21st—century world, because on the one hand, the americans are now saying that what the iranians are doing is outrageous and that anybody who still backs the international agreement and doesn't impose sanctions is, to quote the secretary of state, mike pompeo, choosing to side with the ayatollahs. that's the american position. and on the other hand, you've got the chinese and the russians who are saying, "absolutely no way, "we won't countenance the reimposition of sanctions". and if the iaea dares to suggest that there are problems with iran that suggest the americans are right, then they will withdraw their support from you. so you're caught in the middle, you're in a desperate squeeze. i don't think so. yeah, i'm c

as explicitly listed under article 31, which names out what they consider to be the jcpoa participantsave a right to youth lies that snapback. if not, we can utilize the nonproliferation act, the war against the united states terror act, but we can also look at domestic sanctioning and also hold the un members accountable to try to continue to trade deals as well as security cooperation or any other circumvention of those sanctions, we can utilize domestic retaliation as a result of that. todd: the u.s. army boosted its presence in syria, says isis still poses a threat. we've been distracted in the united states over the course of the last eight months. has isis come back? how worried should we be about isis? >> i think from a regionally global perspective we should be concerned with terrorism. the change and the shift is with the tactics that isis is continuing to use. originally they were using a large land craft, more conventional force fighting. when we saw them grow to nearly the size of the united kingdom. they are using a guerrilla war fare tactic. i think having this resurgence

it would open up the possibility that with the jcpoa, the next republican administration could simplylk away from it. i think biden wants to reassure allies that the u.s. has moved out of this kind of ratcheting back and forth between extreme democratic and republican division, and moving more towards consensus position on arguably the biggest foreign policy issue of the day. jonathan: it all comes back to one question. what is the best way to try to influence the behavior of the chinese communist party? have we learned any lessons in the last 20 years? what is the best way? jacob: i don't know that there is a best way. there have been things that have been modestly effective at certain times, but the fundamental problem for the u.s. is china's more powerful than it was 20 years ago. increasingly, they are willing to take sides in disputes. even that is a greater degree than it was 20 years ago. relationships have been severely , butned the last few years i think reinforcing that is probably the best the u.s. can hope for. jonathan: jacob, great to catch up. parakilas is a london asso

the jcpoa did not improve any of this bad behavior. it ignored iran's nonnuclear aggression, it let iran continue r&d on enriched uranium. if anything, iran's behavior has gotten worse. that bad deal is do going, it will have a security council resolution that kept iran from buying weapons. the votes of russia and china refuse to extend this 13-year-old embargo. returning to the jcpoa has become a sort of mantra for our political left here in the united states. but, really, the reflex to oppose everything president trump does can be a gift to our adversaries. former vice president biden promises to force into a bag deal -- bad deal. he proposes to renegotiate the bad deal from the inside of it after tossing away any leverage in advance. there's one right way to deal with regimes like iran, toughness and resolve. that's why president trump successfully restored an important measure of deterrence when he removed iran's top terrorist solomony from the battlefield forever. even though tehran is weakened by sanctions and economic unease, th

elliot: if you look at the jcpoa, it is a pathway for iran to get a nuclear weapon. what it can do after five years, here is what it can do after eight years, 10 years. 15 years. it is a pathway to a nuclear weapon. what we are saying is we are going to keep this pressure on until iran is willing to negotiate a company as of deal that actually close the door to a nuclear weapon for iran. nick: what the message that iranian lders should draw from explosions across iran? do you believe those work accidental? elliot: you are asking meo comment on stuff that, yes that is close to classified information. what they should conclude is that there is a peer's determination on the part of many people -- there is a fierce determination on the part of many people around the world to prevent them from getting a weapon. these sections are another way of delivering the same message. very serious about it. nick: does that suggest a u.s. ally or israel are behind some of these explosions? elliot: it does not suggest anything. but it suggests that iran will not be fitted to t a nuclea

iran is under tremendous pressure, because of the sanctions that have been reimposed based on the jcpoawere putting on the regime for the behavior outside of that agreement already. this year long proxy war with the united states. you have to recognize he is the shop window for the supreme leader and the islamic revolution and guards corps who are keepers of the ideology of the revolution. so iran has been determined since 1979 to export that revolution across the middle east and what iran really wants to do is they want hegemonic control and influence across the middle east. the first step in doing that is to force the u.s. out of the region of the second step in doing that is to really place a proxy army on the border of israel. that's what they are trying to do by applying the hezbollah model broadly across the region and that something worth getting behind in terms of stopping them from pursuing their hegemonic designs. they are hurting financially now. >> shannon: i think the economic data that we can figure out, we can say. we have to leave it there, thanks for stopping in. new gu

to stand it on its head, to say we're going to open the economic gates, that's what rejoining the jcpoaould do. jillian: president trump withdrew from the deal in 2018 saying it failed to address iran's ballistic missile program. todd: a week three in the nfl, aaron rodgers threw for over 300 yards, three touchdowns to lifts the packers over drew brees and the saints. let's go to say seattle. russell wilson threw five touchdowns. jillian: the atlanta falcons blew a fourth quarter lead. the bears had a comeback. >> third down and 8. the bears are in field goal range. the pass is caught in the end zone for a touchdown by anthony miller. jillian: chicago scores 20 unanswered points to win 30-26. a family reunion in pittsburgh, jj watts playing against brothers tj and derek. he posted a caption, started in the backyard. steelers beat the texans. all three met on the field after the game. todd: interesting. your team tied which is interested around the and they d football in new york city because the jets and giants don't have professional teams anymore. jillian: neither does philadelphia ri

jcpoa, it is a pathway for iran to get a nuclear weapon.e is what it can do after five yeanrs, and the eight and a half years, and after 10 years, and here is what it can do. after 50 yea it is a pathway to a nuclear weapon. we're going to ep this pressure on untiln is willing to negotiate a deal thatsiv actually closes the door for a nuclear weapon for iran. >> i want to take you back to this summer. what is the message thath iran leadersuld draw from explosions across iran, including at their nuclear facility. do you believe that the explosions were accidental or deliberate? >> you're asking me to comment on stuff that gets us close to information. i think, though, what they should conclude is that there is a fierce determination on the part of many people around the world to prevent them from and as of u.s.ear weapon. presidents, including president trump, have said we will not permit them to get to a nuclear weapon. now, these sanctions are anheway of delivering the same message:e are very serious about it, and others in the world are v

kuwait to austria this week told the iaea that they are concerned over the constant breaching of the jcpoa and today have you discussed where they stand this week as we go into u.n., as the united states tries to extend sanctions on iran. >> they just left my office, as you know, the oval office and we have a very good meeting with the appemir. they're very excited about a lot of things happening in the middle east. they're so excited that we signed the first two countries and i think they'll end up fairly quickly being a part of it. i would have seven or eight countries that want to be a part of it without even working very easily very quickly. nobody thought this would happen and not only is it happening, it is happening rather easily. we discuss that very briefly because that is an easy one, believe it or not, that whole thing is now a beautiful puzzle coming together very nicely. but we are talking to them and others about various aspects of the middle east. the middle east is straightening out with all of this happening. we've brought a lot of troops back, and a lot are coming back in

one, you have to return to the jcpoa even though it has very little time left. you have to renegotiate a tougher deal with allied buyin. that's the secret. everyone agreed that iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon and that we will work together to stop it from doing so. and you know the president did a very good thing in brokering the uae/israel deal. that puts added pressure on iran to come to the table. so ironically if biden has leverage it will be because of the deal that president trump made to further isolate iran. >> julie: judy miller, thank you very much. great to see you as always. have a great weekend. >> trace: twitter is back in hot water accused of political bias for refusing to pull a joe biden ad that has some fact checkers crying foul. plus cleanup is underway along the panhandle in the wake of hurricane sally. why the recovery may take a lot longer than anyone expected. the showdown on capitol hill over a new covid relief deal while democrats pressure nancy pelosi to keep negotiating, how she is responding to that next. apps are used everywhere

>> well, biden has said that he intends to return to the jcpoa, the iran deal, and he will wait for irany would vote. they can't stand trump. iran is in the worst position its been in for 40 years. they want joe biden and they're going to make this deal again to the detriment not just of israel but of everybody in the region. brian: so you write did you think he's going to be a tele prompter president and somebody else is drafting those words and loading the tele prompter. do you think other people share your concerns? >> sure they do, of course. part of what i said is this environment in which you have to be afraid to say these things, that in fact, you can no longer say i don't trust the democratic party i'm very worried about it. i'm very worried about where they're going without being labeled all sorts of terrible things that should be beyond the pale of rational debate, being called a racist, a hater just because one disagrees, you know, that shouldn't be the nature of debate in our country about the highest office in the land. it just shouldn't be. brian: and danielle do you know w

one, he pulled out of the jcpoa a year later because he knew it was a miserable deal for the reasonse ly that is a big deal for them because that told all the arabs in the region and israel that this country truly has their back. appeasement policy are over with , and we are now going to confront. we don't want a war with iran but we're going to isolate that country and bring them to their knees economically so that they come and make it a deal to help stabilize the region. brian: so general i know you don't read but how is this resonating with the iranian people who are great, well- educated and they deserve better but their government isn't. how is this resonating knowing that more countries are in the hopper to join this peace train? two things are going to happen as a result of this. it's going to further inspire the iranian people that are living under this tyranny and ten at it six, 1,500 have been killed in the last year, protesting against the regime, 12,000 of them are in the iranian jail cells being tortured on a regular basis. you saw what happened to that wrestler who pro
