let's get some reaction now from tehran i'm joined by professor sayat mohammad marandi from the university of tehran on the line with us now thanks for being with us iran's president haasan rouhani says that iran will continue to stick to the nuclear deal but that iran could change its mind what does that mean. well trump by making this claim and parents badly weaken the nuclear agreement and if things continue like that if it could end up to be a worthless piece of paper if that becomes the case then iraq of the world cannot really leave the equipment so really the times on what happens from here on here on if congress and the senate try to violate the agreement. to be certified or true and close friendship that run again agreements then i think that is a fatal blow to the kremlin and also if the european union countries are not they could stand to defend their right. to override american threat and to protect their businesses and their business men and women if the europeans fail to do that then i think that is also a play to a fatal blow to the queen but at the european union stands up

to mohammad marandi political analyst and professor at the university of tehran joins me on the line now. it seems as though it's pretty clear he said he thought it was a bad deal it sounds like he just wants to have this whole thing ripped apart is that what he's trying to do now. i don't think so i think what he wants to do is basically constantly violate the agreement until basically the only thing that is left is for the iranians to continue with their side of the bargain where's the americans can sanction the whole of iran and that's simply not going to work that's not going to be acceptable at the united states under obama and trump they have violated the agreement time after time after time under obama they passed the iran sanctions they passed the visa restriction laws then under trump we had the presidential decree for restricting visa and the recent laws against russia and iran all of these were in direct violation of article twenty six twenty nine of the united states is supposed to facilitate the normalization of iranian trade that is an obligation the treasury department

the spirit of their agreement and well for more now on this story we're joined by professor mohammad marandi he's the dean of north american studies at the university of tehran thanks for talking with us professor we just heard donald trump there saying that iran isn't living up to the spirit of the nuclear deal what do you make of that. i think it's quite clear the fact that the and financial comic energy agency has repeatedly stated over the past couple of years that iran has fulfilled its side of the bargain shows that trump is not being honest and sickly is reasoning to a bad deal is not linked to any reality it's based upon his own personal wishes which are diverse. very right of course his typing. terrorism across the region is itself in conflict with reality because it is that has been leading the war against isis isis is outside the region have both grown actually as a result of u.s. policy in this region and according to the u.s. it has intelligence data to document the two thousand and twelve ok alex i'm sure we're going to hear a lot about it. i'm sure there's sort of the i just w

let's get more on this from professor syud mohammad marandi from the university of toronto welcome to day w m give us your initial reaction to mr trump's speech well i think. it was the usual trump he used fake in june he accused iran of being a lie. taleban where these organizations were hostile towards iran and we all know that there was the ideology is associated with so the arabia and the saudis and the americans helped create what they became outside and the taleban and . the right there is a. statement or more or less the same nature but what is important is that he violated greenman. what he is the certification was a major violation it harms the agreement because it runs against article twenty six to twenty nine. the green went as it stands it's moving closer and closer to becoming irrelevant unless european union countries make a major stand against from and protect the agreement through effect of action what's reaction do you think we are likely to say after say from the government in teheran. well if the united states basically make a change c.p.o. a meeting with piece of p

institution god's presence on land at sea and in the air around base political analyst side mohammad marandi says sanctioning the revolutionary guard will impede the fight against terrorism obviously sanctioning the revolutionary guards is itself an act in support of terrorism major force on the ground alongside the syrians and the russians and the iraqi army and has that stopped isis from taking over damascus and. for that matter is the revolutionary guards so the united states is in fact trying to weaken those forces that have been blocking terrorism. washington is building up its troops near russia's western border a move that according to moscow violates a key agreements the country has with nato viger borders the details earlier on. on thursday the un us announced the presence of a second regiment in the already very tense baltic region and that's a move which moscow claims violates a fundamental peace treaty signed between russia and nato years ago and that was designed to and decades of cold war tensions which of course right now are again on the rise and the russian defense ministry

earlier i spoke to the professor seyed mohammad marandi and asked him how likely it is that iran willtay the course? >> donald trump, by making this statement, has badly weekend -- weakened the nuclear agreement. if things continue like this it could end up being a worthless piece of paper. then iran will definitely leave the agreement. it really depends on what happens from here on. if congress and the senate tried to violate the agreement, and to decertify it, or impose sanctions that run against the agreement, then i think that is a fateful blow to the agreement. and also, if the european union countries do not take a stand to defend their right and to override the american threats and to protect their businesses and business men and women, if the europeans fail to do that then i think that is also a fateful blow to the agreement. sarah: we will go to washington to bring in our correspondent carsten von nahmen in our studio. we're also joined by max hofmann in brussels. carsten, let's start with you. donald trump has handed this back to congress, what are the options now? carsten:

nuclear deal for now but he said iran could change its mind earlier i spoke to professor sayyid mohammad marandi from the university of tehran and i asked him how likely it was that iran will stay the course. while chomped by making this statement we can get plea agreement and if things continue like this it could end up to be a worthless piece of paper if that becomes than iraq a little government bring me the equipment so really the comes on what happens from here on if congress and the senate. try to violate the agreement. to be sort of quiet or true at close range and want to transfer agreement then i think it is ok to close to the agreement. and also if european union countries did not take it. to defend their right. to override american threat and to protect their businesses and their business men and women. europeans trail to do that then i think there is also a freight train to upload to the creek let's cross to washington and bring in correspondent carson vaughn naaman he's in our d.c. studio we're also joined by our correspondent max hoffmann in brussels carson let's start with you tru
