and again in the context of the jcpoa a lot of these hard-line figures really thought the jcpoa was a threat to the islamic republic because if you had a nuclear deal and sanctions relief that myth western business were going to come through. that meant iranians would get to have a taste of what it's like to have these western opportunities to an extent, and that meant that that iranians would start asking for more. the situation in the country would be better arguably and so they would ask more from the government. that's why they celebrate when the jcpoa was still happen under the data withdrawn under the top administration. part of it had a paper version of the jcpoa and they set on fire and were chanting in celebration. so to them these are threats to the clerical establishment. >> i mean, polite disagreements, cash and sanctions relief is a major threat to us enhance of the clerical establishment that we will agree to disagree there. but it do what you guys to make a slightly more conversation now, and correct me in a view i have of this movement a cycle of boom and bust cycle of

so are we safer now or are we safer under the jcpoa?et me say, this bill would have debater consequences across the entire middle east, particularly in iraq which this bill would focus on iranian energy and i remind us again, let's not be shortsighted, no energy, chaos in iraq, what happened before, isis was created. blackouts across iraq would sow societal chaos in iraq. does that help serve our national security objectives in the region? i don't think so. if implemented, this bill would undermine the stability that iraq has sought to establish. is it perfect now? no. four years is a short period of time when we are trying to do some major accomplishments here. and importantly, this measure may also cost our ability to do what? to monitor and control the iranian funds in qatar and elsewhere. and we want to lose control, then you want this bill. smart sanctions. a smart sanctions policy has a purpose. it's not a blunt to reduce regime change. that does not work and has never worked when it was used just to try to have regime change. our

suffer the fate of the jcpoa . alhamdulillah, so far, i have said that we are more than following up to make this work come true. we should give a new and special credit here. sources of credits and power and possibilities of this if the device is gathered together, it means that if the school renovation organization is going to build 3 schools in one east. if the population of this neighborhood is one-third, a school should be built here, and it should be directed in this direction , as well as service companies that are appropriate to the population living in these areas, which until now have been sometimes insured and discriminated against . inshallah, during the program seventh, it can be compensated with the good cooperation and companionship of the city, especially the municipalities , the member and support system that the honorable majlis becomes islamic on the basis of this work in the project in the industrial budgets and next year. he was a mayor who became a commander, that is, he left the municipality

the jcpoa and so on.refore, the propaganda that america is doing now is that yes, some of their publications told me. they should create this mentality for a person like you, god bless the american father there are people who are standing in front of netanyahu, for example , they say that we used me as an example, not people like you, for example , he is younger and interested in these discussions. he should think like this, even though you may hate america, even though you know that america is a criminal , but in the end, this come to the conclusion that it is good that they are because they are not, for example, what is natanya doing in that literature. the softness of americans is still tickling for some people, especially those whose historical memory is not so strong now, or they like to limit their historical memory too much , do not remember domestic politics, have friends. they have to vote in the next elections. these people listen to the american words and accept them for many reasons, but my su

well, the one-way road of the westerners in using the concessions of the jcpoa was going ahead of the five steps approved by the supreme national security council. i don't know that the time was going on, the parliament clarified the duty of the country and the negotiators in the law it passed. i, as the head of the commission. national security, i was a member of the nuclear committee that was formed in the supreme council at the end of the last government. the law was not approved . when the law was approved, the hands of the negotiators and the government were opened and filled, and we were able to negotiate with more papers. teacher's day held, this law was praised as one of the famous laws. we would like to inform you that the organizations that are in the armed forces and other organizations were able to reconcile with two organizations in the commission, one was the sepand organization, which was the same organization that martyr fakhrizadeh was responsible for. we became strong and powerful and this was one of the approvals of the commission, an organization was formed and est

definitely take advantage of the first opportunity, about opportunities, by the way, remember the jcpoae joint plan of action, which... well, who will now trust the united states of america? after trump came said: “everything that happened before me remains before me, a new administration, new rules.” uncle, what are you doing? therefore, now many have no special illusions about his possible election. “we will introduce you to people who have found their calling. in russia there was a master of veterinary sciences, evseen, who said: “medicine treats humans, and veterinary medicine treats humanity, we also train pharmacists, this is our only university that trains specialists in this profile. we suggest spending one day with specialists. watch on the belarus 24 tv channel so that yes to pay tribute to the veterinary profession and those specialists who take care of the health of animals every day, it’s not for nothing that they say that artists should be like children, naive, to remain at this childhood age, oddly enough, the role of mary poppins is here.. “the hall gave me a push to thi

well , you know that we were in the nuclear negotiations, which became known as the revival of the jcpoall, in the past years, something happened almost. the hands of our negotiators were empty, well, the one-way road used by the westerners the concessions of the jcpoa were moving forward with the five steps that the supreme national security council had approved . they were also continuing with flaws and i don't know if the time was stretched. national security commission , i was a member of the nuclear committee when hazrat agha passed away. the previous government was formed in the supreme council , our hands were not really full there, and the law was not yet approved. when the law was approved , the negotiators' and the government's hands were opened and filled, and we were able to negotiate with more agencies. hazrat agha announced this twice in his own statements and in one of the conferences that was held under the name of "teacher's day", this law was praised as one of the famous laws . there are other organizations in the armed forces and we were able to approve two organizatio

it will be the same story of 8 years that the country has been waiting for the jcpoa and the fruit of the jcpoa, and this is why the propaganda that america is doing now is that yes, some of their publications said that nathan was taking off the planes. kurdish towards iran, then we said no , don't do this, you saw it in these funny movies he comes, then someone comes and says no, for example, there is a show , they are playing a theater, well, you see, sometimes in the same movies, they say, let him come and see what he is doing, he is acting in a movie and he is taking himself off, well, the zionist regime knows if he wanted an answer. let him come by plane, for example , hit somewhere in iran, the next failure of iran , as said, would be much more and stronger than what you are seeing now, which is what is happening because of the fact that the americans are trying to, but because of the problems they have in their own country there are elections, the problems that the public opinion of the people of the world have, in a way , create this mentality for someone like you, god teach t

that, they would come and say that a certain candidate had come to join the jcpoa, for example , or to bring about some change in foreign policy , so that he would get votes, but when the polls in we looked inside america and saw that the agent fourth fifth yes, not as the first and second factor , but an opinion that if yes, i think they will broadcast it now, friends, according to this survey, well , now, foreign policy and foreign policy discussion after the economy, in a way, the americans in this survey announced that it should be the biggest the priority of the american government in 2024 should be, well, look at one issue that is mainly the foreign policy now , almost all analysts agree to point to this issue in the united states. the war in gaza is because before october we also had the issue of ukraine, but foreign policy never had such a weight in the american political space, but now it has come and after the economy, it is placed in the second place and the concern of the voter. the result should be on november 20, 24, and we saw some signs of it, that is , the primary e

in 2016, we had jcpoa, the nuclear agreement. why did they have four nuclear agreements? because the regime is constantly breaching, and they breached the jcpoa funnel they signed that and they are doing every thing they can to reach nuclear weapons. we can stop them and target their side. we sent a message to the iranians, we are with you, and give them motivation and support and put great fear in the regime that is a force behind the iranian people. just have this in your mind. in the next 24 hours we announce we will target ill at terry basis -- target military bases. men of the rgc another's they don't believe in the regime. if there's going to be a price for them, they will separate themselves from the regime. i said what is the shortest way? thank you and i am open to any questions now. [applause] >> if anybody has any questions, let me know. >> first of all, i wanted to thank you for being here today, it was incredible to hear from you. i'm currently a masters student studying national security and am very interested in middle eastern history and politics. my quest

from... this is my specialty, as they say, and i know a lot about it, and the same thing with the jcpoaso on, the supreme leader was against, yeah, few people know, but the supreme leader was against and repeatedly stated this, but there is also a dualism of power, there is , as it were, a secular part of power, there is a president, here is the previous president rouhani, who did career on this comprehensive, collaborative , comprehensive plan of action. they got burned, they made a mistake, the iranian dad has nowhere to rush, he’s there for life, as it were, he has time, he looked, well, your americans helped you, what do you say now, your poles helped you, yes, yes, that’s it, and i assure you, today not a single person in his right mind, no matter how he views the islamic revolution, the supreme leader, and so on, but not a single one will trust the united states of america, after what happened. you know, we have magnificent parallels, i’ll give them just two examples, maybe you know them very well, in 1994, when we withdrew 1993, 1994, and removed nuclear weapons, but we were guar

we have been appeasing iran ever since the jcpoa deal , iran ever since the jcpoa deal, as it's knownd this was the deal that president obama put together with, of course, joe biden as the vice president, supported enthusiastically by the european union and indeed by the european union and indeed by the british government and the idea was we remove sanctions. we free up tens of billions of dollars of frozen money, and in return, iran will not continue to build a nuclear weapon. and what have they done with that money? well, it has helped them, of course, to fund hamas. it has helped them to fund hezbollah. it's helped them to fund the houthis, and it directly helped them to fund the rocket attacks on israel last night. we have got this wrong at every level. i have been against this deal from day one. i was delighted when trump was president in america that he pulled the americans out of it. but you would have thought, wouldn't you? after that response last night, that the west might have learned its lesson, but oh, no. unbelievably, the european union high representative for foreign a

the only time we've actually got something we wanted which was jcpoa was a combination of sanctions that were significant but focused on a very specific goal which was getting into that nuclear deal. they were effective also because they were signed onto by a wide assortment of countries that had influence on iran like russia, china, europe and the united states. even that had a pretty limited focus. that was the reason why the trump administration walked away from it. now i would say that we have to reestablish deterrence. we wake up every morning and the iranians or their proxies of done something to us or our allies that we react to. that's not a deterrent. deterrent is evaporated. to reestablish deterrence, you have two assume massive economic pressure on iran. the oil sanctions to my knowledge are not being implemented. we can do that and we did do it and we should return to that. we should be doing much more to prevent the export of arms by iran to various countries including russia. we should be doing everything we can to sever the conductivity between the regional proxies and ira

or starting with the previous one, starting with the countries of the region or starting with the jcpoaese are actually doubles, all false doubles. because all these topics that we are talking about we are talking, we are discussing, in today's world there is an entanglement that without understanding and understanding this entanglement of issues, we will not be able to understand the new developments in the international and regional arena. for this reason, in my view, no vision , in fact, the regional approach takes precedence over the relationship with the countries of western europe, western europe, not the discussion. the relationship with the great powers in the eastern axis is prioritized over the relationship with the western axis because we are witnessing fundamental changes and transformations in the field of the international system and international relations, which are basically the concepts of the previous assumptions. it is not new to explain and interpret these developments. if i want to serve you with some examples, i will speak a little more concretely. in the world to

the jcpoa was a multilateral diplomacy tool which helped reduce the prospects of conflict between iran its rivals in the region. it is widely considered one of president obama's most important international diplomacy achievements. for all intents and purposes, the deal was working. in 2016 and 2017 the international atomic energy agency certified that iran had met its preliminary pledges, agreeing not to produce uranium to the point of nuclear enrichment. but in 2018, president donald trump pulled the u.s. out of the agreement. unraveling the deal, rendering it ineffective and causing a ripple effect for years to come. trump called the deal quote, rotten and one-sided and reinstated devastating backing of oil sanctions on iran that crippled its economy once again. iran and all the other signatories to the deal kept their part of the bargain. america didn't. so in 2019, iran began enriching uranium at higher levels and developed new centrifuges for uranium enrichment. and last year, the united nations inspectors found around was enriching uranium to close to weapons grade levels. but ir

relationship with the east or start with the west , start with the countries of the region or start with the jcpoaese are actually dualities, all false dualities because all these issues we are talking about let's discuss in today's world , there is an entanglement without understanding. in the interweaving of issues, we will not be able to understand the new developments in the international and regional arena. for this reason, in my point of view, the regional approach takes precedence over the relationship with western european countries, not the discussion. the relationship with the great powers in the eastern axis is prioritized over the relationship with the western axis because we are witnessing fundamental changes and developments in the field of the international system and international relations, which basically the concepts of the previous assumptions are able to explain and interpret these new developments. is not. if i want to serve you with a few examples, i will speak a little more concretely. in the world today, we are witnessing the war in ukraine. for the war in ukraine or again

though the bbc and england are abusing this operation and our missile power, they are turning to the jcpoaateful to you. i see this final discussion of your speech as related to the first part, which was about the series of resignations, so the operation of the promise of sadiq is also related to this failure, with the details you mentioned, on the morale of the zionist officials and commanders, with the fear of the operations of the resistance groups on the eve of passover. he deployed 3,000 occupying troops in occupied jerusalem, west bank siege and war he destroyed the house, electricity lines, water and sewage pipes. the palestinian reporter says that the aim of the occupation is to damage the social base of the resistance. the west bank has become another gaza. my house and my children's lives were sacrificed for the resistance. in the reports of the israeli intelligence agencies , the weakness of the security forces of the israeli regime is always severely criticized. they do not have the ability to deal with popular resistance in the west bank. these days , the west bank is a breedi

our negotiators were almost empty the one-way road of the westerners in using the concessions of the jcpoa was moving ahead of the five steps that the supreme national security council had approved, and they were continuing with defects and with unknown delay in the law that the parliament approved . the duty of the country clarified the negotiators . as the head of the national security commission, i was a member of the nuclear committee that was formed by the supreme council at the end of the last government. the hands of the negotiators and the government were opened and filled and we we were able to use more papers in our negotiations, which i told you, sir , they announced this twice in their statements. in one of the conferences that was held under the name of teacher's day, this law was praised as one of the famous laws. your area of ​​service is to state that the organizations that are in the armed forces and other institutions , we were able to approve the organization in the commission . sepand was the same organization where shahid fakhrizadeh was responsible. we turned it into

relationship with the east or start with the west, start with the countries of the region or start with the jcpoaese are actually dualities , all false dualities, because all these issues that we are talking about are discussed in the world is suffering today. there is an entanglement that without understanding and understanding this entanglement of issues, we will not be able to understand the new developments in the international and regional arena. for this reason, from my point of view, in fact, the regional approach takes precedence over the relationship with western european countries. no discussion of communication with great powers in the axis. the east gets priority over the relationship with the west axis because we are witnessing fundamental changes and developments in the field of the international system and international relations, which basically the concepts of previous assumptions are not able to explain and interpret these new developments. if i want to give you a few examples, if i want to speak a little more concretely, we in the world today: well, we are witnessing the war in

. >> yes, it was an extraordinary achievement of the obama administration to get the jcpoa deal. for those of you who don't know, the person who worked also with ben and others on that deal is now suspended from the state department. has not been told why he has been suspended. but these tragedies continue to unfold. let's hope that in a future administration, that jcpoa, iran , is one of the most profound civilizations in human history, can come back to some sort of effectuation. ben, there was a question, but because we have around eight minutes, anyone please chime in. it says ben brought up that nationalism is now the guiding principle in domestic and international policy rather than the liberal international order. is there a scenario where nationalism can be harnessed for good? can nationalism be productive, and can it be useful? and if not, how do we defuse it? ece: he was not a nationalist. for example, in terms of currency. also, he is very committed with obstructionist policies around this. with bolivia, chile, and argentina. so, he's a person who wants to get rid of an

in another year, i don't know, you will get the jcpoa once, i don't know, once the income, for example, the price of oil to be fair, i am saying the opposite. today, when i am talking to you, according to the horizontal conditions and , of course, from above, the market conditions, the industry conditions, and the employment conditions in the country, this car import now has different levels. our misfortune is not one or two. the car is a waste of oil . i would like to remind you that the imports that are being made right now are not from reputable car manufacturers. they mainly did not have a contract with a reputable car manufacturer. they are importing cars into the country , which means that they do not have the necessary guarantees. we even had a lot of people go and import. but what happened after that, what service do these after-sales service networks give to people for imported cars , so i remind you that what is happening in the name of imports does not create competition or industrial development, mr. haddadi, what do you think ? what is the reason for importing? in the name

iran, since this is my specialty, as they say, and i know a lot about it, and the same thing with the jcpoa, supreme leader was against it, yeah, few people know, but the supreme leader was against it and repeatedly stated this, but there is also a dualism of power, there is, as it were, a secular one. part power has a president, the previous president rouhani, who made a career on this comprehensive joint comprehensive plan of action, and was re-elected for a second term. he was in favor, and many western-oriented politicians in iran, there are also such there, were in favor, they wanted rapprochement with the west, the iranian dad said, what are you guys doing, well, you can’t come to an agreement with them, you, you are making a mistake, no, we want, okay, that's how father is, well do it, let it be your mistake, come on, if you don't learn from other people's mistakes, let it be you you learn from your mistakes, you got burned, you made a mistake. the iranian dad has nowhere to rush, he is there for life, as it were, he has time, he looked, well, your americans helped you, what do you s

definitely take advantage of the first opportunity, about opportunities, by the way. remember the jcpoaf action that was concluded, the obama administration accepted everything, then trump came and destroyed everything, yes, so, the very opportunity i’m talking about arose, remember the reaction of the europeans, how they rushed to iran, how they grabbed this opportunity with their teeth , they started investing, trump came and destroyed everything, this is also about the issue, by the way, and... inadequacy and loss of control over the situation, because, well, who will trust the united states of america now, after trump came he said: " everything that came before me remains before me, new administration, new rules, uncle, what are you doing, so now many do not have any special illusions about his possible election." the television news agency presents: in the public domain, we have no secrets from our people. peredodzen 1974. soyuz-13 in space. on the space watch, the crew took over from warehouse commander pyatr klimuk and flight attendant valentsin lebedev. pyotr klimuk. i want to s

supposed to waive pursuant to their continued adherence to the 2015 iran nuclear deal, called the jcpoaed those, but now they have to build on those. and washington needs to be able to help europe come up with new targets that it itself has already sanctioned. and socialize them across the pond in the atlantic to create a new web of missile sanctions, to put more pressure on the regime's missile, military and drone programs. beyond that, they need to come up with a strategy at the united nations, particularly at the united nations security council, to snap back and restore older multilateral penalties on iran. that include a permanent arms ban to and from the islamic republic, permanent ballistic missile testing and transfer injunction on the islamic republic. these things used to exist. they lapsed with the 2015 iran nuclear deal and now with russia poised to be iran's lawyer on the security council, essentially until kingdom come, we have only until october 2025 to snap back or reset. that. so a strategy for snapback has to be set as well, as well as for rigorous oral sanctions enforc

definitely take advantage of the first opportunity , about the possibilities, by the way, remember the jcpoa administration accepted everything, then trump came to iran, how they grabbed this opportunity with their teeth. started investing, trump came and destroyed everything, this is also relevant to the question, by the way, about inadequacy about the loss of control over the situation, because who will trust the united states of america now, after trump came he said: everything that happened before me remains before me, a new administration, new rules, dude, what are you doing, therefore, now many do not have any special illusions about his possible election. trade and new cooperation projects in industry are the main topic of negotiations between the prime ministers of belarus and russia. the meeting in a 1:1 format was preceded by negotiations in a broad format. this year in 2 months mutual trade has already increased by 2.8%. and this is in addition to the high base of last year, when trade turnover exceeded $53 billion. today it is important to maintain the momentum and launch new pro

doesn't happen overnight it is three years policies chasing iran around the world begging them back in jcpoat us where we are today. >> speaker, it goes further than that, you've got a public fight, with bibi netanyahu in plain site in public view with chuck schumer saying we want new elections, you know, netanyahu no longer serves people of them israel, you know even though biden said you know our support of israel is ironclad adds but we will not be part any of retaliation to iran. >>. newt: they called iranians -- >> the administration, gone back to obama, the john kerry secretary of state consistently prior iranian they consistently bent over backyards for iranians tolerated iranian proxies shooting at killing americans tolerated houthis, backed by iranians, no matter what iranians do always one more excuse from biden for american inaction, but again imagine you are the ayatollah sitting in tehran fired 300 missiles, other against israel nothing happens there there are no consequences? you are going to facing -- people beyond being paper tigers you are going to think they are clowns no s

as vice president along with their friends in the european union in brussels who put in place the jcpoang so they remove sanctions, they freed up tens of billions of dollars in diary and use that money to fund the trance choose to fund hezbollah and hamas than 350 missiles and drones being aimed at mainland israel. it seems that we have magnesium of how iran got its trough on self strong enough of where it is. >> do you think israel should retaliate directly and attack iran? >> i think israel should retaliate cleverly. i don't think just sending back hundreds of weather shells or bombing raids whatever it is, no, they should be selective in doing what trump was going to do when he was american president by trying to take out some of the senior leading figures, there is no doubt within iran itself the regime is not very popular and it stays there through brute force through use of the army, israel should retaliate and it should be clever, the other extraordinary thing biden has said what happened last night in israel was a win. in sporting terms it was a withdraw, not having 350 missiles

the jcpoa should never have been re-engaged. it has not created any positive outcomes in the region. can anybody disagree with that? are we better in the middle east today than when we had the abraham accords thriving? no. anybody who is honest knows that. if you want to be israel's ally you cannot continue to pander to iran. it's not the recipe for success. that's not just the israeli point of view. it's from the arab point of view. we want the biden administration to recognize that. that's what we are doing this week, having several measures to hold iran responsible. we'll continue to support israel and ensure they have what they need to defend themselves. mr. speaker, thank you very much, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. under the speaker's announced policy of january 9, 2023, the gentlewoman from illinois, mrs. ramirez is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. ms.mrs. ramirez: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to

the jcpoa effectively shut off every pathway to iran nan nuclear weapon before it was unwisely torn down in 2018, leaving us in the dangerous position we are now. in the i.s.a. is the only major iran sanctions statute that contains a sunset provision. and in general, sunset provisions have value. they force congress to re-evaluate and reconsider sanctions to adjust to new situations. so we must all ask ourselves an important question. under what circumstances can congress envision the necessity of abandoning our sanctions infrastructure while this regime is in power? even in the instance a new iran deal is reached, and successfully implemented, i believe it would warrant this sanctions infrastruckture -- infrastructure in place just as it was under the jcpoa so iran and the international community knows what awaits them if progress is not made. furthermore, if congress loses this sanctions infrastructure, we will be ceding even more of our authority to the executive branch of government, who will sorely -- solely rely on its executive powers to implement sanctions, unbound by the program

the united states made a devastating mistake by withdrawing from the jcpoa, the iran peace deal. the iran nuclear deal. that was a mistake, but it is not a mistake that can be undone . i don't think there is a chance of the united states and iran going back to that sort of a deal. anyway, if the iranians do get a weapon, then what would worry political scientists is a phenomenon that they call socialization, which is something -- it is a phenomenon that they detect in sort of the period after a country goes nuclear. it becomes a nuclear weapon state. by socialization, the process of understanding what the uses of such a weapon are, what they can be used for and what they really cannot be used for. the answer to what they can be used for his deterrence, to deter other people from using them, but they are not good for war fighting. but generally, the thinking goes that after a huge effort, costly effort to develop these weapons, you think now i really have the special sauce, aha. nobody can mess with me. then you begin to take risks that ultimately expose you to greater danger and

so a nuear program has be growi exponentially since the trump administration's withdrawal from the jcpoaar deal but it hasn't made the political decision to weaponize or to convert its civilian program into one of military nature >> and you can >> potentially see ron holding this over. >> the whole conflict. it has loomed large about iran's potential to break out and so that's i think the nuclear dimension of the conflict it's not so much a nuclear strike either by israel or iran, potentially weaponizing and responding in that sense. >> yeah, thereby, by some estimates, iran already as the fissile material to make, perhaps more than one nuclear weapon if it were to decide to make that leap. but nicole great. thanks. so much for joining us this evening >> thank you for having me >> well, daylight is now revealing what damage around was able to inflict with its direct attack on israeli territory coming up, we're going to take a look at what this day could bring ones waiting >> for something new in kept wanting more and they'll be tuesday on tbs is here all right numbers begins tuesday at 7

that ultimately is what produced the jpo way and the jcpoa. this idea of this is the most risky most dangerous issue, nuclear issue, let's just sort of did it but to the side so we can then pursue the middle east strategy with what we want which is decreasing commitment to the region. that's a strategy that in some ways have changed the united states still is looking to increase our footprint in middle east for sure. that's been a matter of bipartisan consensus but obvious if their approach towards iran has changed because there's been a few that that strategy of, well, let's engage in diplomacy to avoid war hasn't really been successful. i think that's not just a republican view, not just a trump view but you can see that from the biden administration to some extent as well. the sense that the idea that summer we would come to a nuclear agreement and that would lead to a warming of relations between the united states and arrest as we sort of gone away. so in a way we are back to this idea of a dual track policy, and dangling the idea of diplo

israel has been saying and other countries have been saying for some time, is that despite the 2015 jcpoa, there are nuclear deal where iran was going to limit its enrichment of uranium, to less than 5%. it has rich, enriched uranium at the moment, according to international atomic energy agency, the un nuclear watchdog is enriched it to 60%, which is way above those thresholds, takes it much closer to make it turning that enriched uranium into a potential weapons. so the message from israel would be where you are performing this enriching uranium. we can reach you. that would appear to be the message. now, does iran move facilities? does it change tactics? that's not clear, but in terms of the building escalation because of what's happened over the past 2.5 weeks thanks. between iran and israel at the moment, it appears to be on pause. there are perennial, plenty of other points of contacts with iran's proxies, hezbollah in lebanon, the houthis in yemen, for example, both still actively involved in firing missiles, drones, et cetera, into, into israel's there are plenty of points of conf

and thema obama administration before adm, continuously empowering the mullahs, getting into this jcpoang in diplomatic relations on unfreezing $150 billion, billions and billions more in these hostagions ie deals that e repeatedly warned them would result in more regional and domestic terrorism that have brought us to this moment where wttino e are at a juncture that, you know none of us know how to get out of this at this point. you know, i don't want a to war against my country and my people. myntry a to put my people's livs at risk. and this is exactly what the republicans to blame must be. >> but the mullahs in charge of your country launched thiscon attack against israel. iftrs atta israel does not resp, it'll be viewed as as weakness. wed as understand that. and i think they have they have a moral obligation in tol respond so that otherwise this will keep happening again. en againdo you support israel ad their right to fire back at the regime that took them on?>>' >> it's really hard to answers that question. i feel that the tensions are going to keep escalating and i think this

you know, appeasement, maybe we're going to get back into the jcpoa they thought. jake sullivan, the president of the united states, they'll all admit it. here's the results, as a result, the amount of oil iran exports over the last three years has been up every year, and it's about over three million barrels a day. 200,000 barrels a day at the end of trump, three million barrels a day now. foreign reserves that the iranians have are about $75 billion. 4 billion at the end of trump, 75 billion right now during the biden administration. of course, the terrorist leadership of iran is using this windfall, as everybody knew they would, to fund their terrorist proxies -- hamas, hezbollah, the houthis. remember, you don't have those proxy terrorist groups at all if you don't have iran. iran funds them. they train them. they resupply them with mi missiles. so these groups are not only vowing to wipe israel off the face of the earth, but aggressively targeting the u.s. navy, sailors, and marines in the red sea. so that's happened. china is buying about 80% of that iran oil

it's actually the jcpoa agreement, which donald trump was totally against.ell, there were many, many arguments against it. and i had many arguments. one of them it never actually even them was it never actually even talked missiles talked about ballistic missiles from the iran side. now, those ballistic missiles could already hit israel. they can hit anywhere in the middle east. they can actually hit eastern europe. those ballistic missiles, which iran are making right are not the middle right now are not for the middle east. they're not for israel. it's for berlin, paris, it's actually for berlin, paris, london dc . and london and washington dc. and once the war starts to rise up and start talking about this and looking for that date to hit, we're in a 1930s moment right now. and this 1930s moment is that chamberlain feeling is, let's not upset adolf hitler. let's not push this . we just let's not push this. we just come out of a world war. we just don't want to do this. >> great. so fascinating stuff. thanks for your input there. that's james marlowe, fore
