if so as i said i think this is this is really going to be a devastating thing you know senator mark kirk has already indicated that that the response should be pretty harsh from the united states that we should should look to basically bring down the iranian central bank bank or kasi. so i think those are the types of responses we should be looking for in the in the days and weeks and weeks ahead as the details of this case come out do we know if this well if this was anything more than a guy in mexico talking to a dea agent. i think that's the question the sort of all of us are wondering if it sort of boggles the imagination this idea that the somebody working for the for the i r g c made contact with the mexican drug cartels to solicit a murder for hire of the saudi ambassador in washington. it if if if this is the case it really is quite a fascinating and really is as i say devastating. set of allegations and the case against these two individuals will definitely have a resounding impact both in washington but a little also and in tehran and riyadh iran and saudi arabia are bold bitte

powerful and would be potentially devastating to iran's economy as my colleague ali has written senator mark kirk has rather openly spoken about promoting multilateral sanctions on bank markazi the iranian central bank now that could have the effect of affectively collapsing the iranian currency and devastating their economy if it's anything like what happened in iraq that brought up the infant mortality rate dramatically so i think it really will have to see what the details are of what's proposed right now i think that we're still just trying to look at the details of the allegations and and see where this goes but you are talking about those sanctions on iran's central bank would they really have the desired effect or would they prove to be really highly provocative whereby i understand that some iranian officials have said they would consider that as an act of war now is that exactly what the u.s. is trying to get out of tehran that sort of retaliatory response. well you're right i mean there's no other way to see that the definitely a provocative act the united states in the administration's

today and so you have everything from those calls to the calls of people like i think some of our mark kirk from illinois who while he said that we shouldn't react militarily to this he did use it as a means to try and promote his new iran sanctions against iran which are aimed at the central bank with the explicit purpose that the sanctions are designed to cripple and collapse iran's currency and bring economic hardship on to ordinary iranians and he said today use as an interview last night about it on the radio i just read about this something progress today he was asked if these sanctions targeting iran and take food off the plates of ordinary iranians and he said he thinks it's ok to take food off the plates of ordinary iranians that. they whose governments planned bombings on u.s. soil and so i think that there's no doubt that this is pushing forward efforts of people that really want to her ordinary iranians who are already embattled enough under their own government as well as potentially pushing the u.s. closer to a confrontation from iran which. experts universally agree will be a
