persian and his staff to their departure point. it should come as no surprise to anyone that marshall was in a depressed state of mind at being left behind. he didn't have to wait long before learning that brigadier general well william l. cyberhad requested the services of marsha marshall. over the next few days, marshall worked to make the preparations for his departure to france. marshall boarded his transport vessel on june 10, set to work organizing the first division. in the course of his work he learned that many men in the division had only received their rifles after they completed their training and were boarding the trains to their transports. more troubling for marshall was the fact that the division was about 20% of the original. the rest of the regiment has been taken to form new regiments. recalling the situation many years later, marshall said, so all but 20% of these regiments were recruits and it was quite a messed up affair when they arrived. they had no knowledge of how to drill, no knowledge of how to handle th

years it's all created by the foreign enemies it's all created by the americans or the british or persian language channels and of course it's not it's actually iranian people who have these concerns so you've got the iranian people who don't necessarily want the overthrow of the system but they want an accountable system that addresses their concerns being caught in between washington and the islamic republic salit at this point must have a let me bring you and now because i do want to talk more about trump's motion of for his actions and what he's been saying to woods opaque because they're not just about squeezing iran but also about keeping oil prices low as those midterm elections approach in november. how much you know is that a fact. i think it's a really big factor particularly at moment we're going into the big u.s. hole it's a driving season in the summer months so there's always one eye on domestic fuel prices he's trying to ensure that opec is listening in making sure they ramp up oil production and you know as holiday i'll follow the saudi energy minister said when we were al

i don't know if the persians remember cyrus the great, but the jews do. he is inscribed in our internal book and has been carried for millennia in our collective memory. trump's president decision will never be forgotten. was the ninth day of the hebrew month. like so many jews around the world, i fasted and mourned the destruction of the two temples. today i have the privilege to be here as israel's ambassador to the united states. not only to hope for next year in jerusalem, but to thank president trump for what america .id this year in jerusalem those two decisions alone, to withdraw from the nuclear deal and to recognize jerusalem is would be moreal, than enough to demonstrate that under president trump the relationship between america and israel is closer than ever. there is so much more. i see the administration's support for israel in so many ways. i see their unwavering commitment to israel's self-defense. i see it in the way that president trump respects israel's sovereignty and is committed to israel's security. i see the tremendous support rece

with iran now thirty years ago we came to an end of what was called then that tankers wars in the persian gulf when iran started attacking all sorts of ships that get out of iraq or kuwait and other places forcing the kuwaitis to ask the americans to fly their own tankers of oil entering a whole new phase a dangerous phase in the persian or the gulf so all in all this is a serious escalation and we've been there before i mentioned this earlier mowen but it was almost in passing now that i think about it i mentioned the iranian revolutionary guard can you explain for of us the significance of when the revolutionary guard actually speaks up on a topic. well look i mean we have to differentiate between two things what the thrum administration is doing at this point in time is more of an economic war on iran some really imposing sanctions and then secondary sanctions which means that all sorts of regional and international economies will have to sanction iran otherwise the united states their nonsense will sanction them they will also of course sanction the revolutionary guards on the other h

from the persian gulf. the larger extent of that is for iran is getting ready some kind of operation in the region if the time comes that they follow the threats they have made in the past few weeks. you have on one hand, the s and unrestblem in iran. you have another front in the persian gulf and in yemen that might open up. limittwo could very well iran's desire to stay in syria permanently, and could be the factor that can push iran to come to some kind of copper mines in syria. i will get to that in a second. permanently,ria to all is really's intentions -- israelis intentions. it is very clear that israel did not want to have any iranian military formations permanently stationed in syria. they has said so publicly. they rejected the russians offer of 100 kilometers and a buffer between iranian forces and the forces under the command of iran including hezbollah, and the borders of israel. not that they don't want to have that, but from the israeli point of view, it was not enough for them. iran can stil

his tweet follow's president rouhani's response about disrupting oil shipments in the persian gulf isans try to block exports. quote, america should know peace with iran is the mother of all peace and war with iran is the mother of all wars. so, could the escalating war of words lay the groundwork for a new diplomatic overture between the united states and iran or could it head to another showdown in the persian gulf area? >>> a expert at the carnegie endowment. welcome to the program. >> thank you. >> what are we to make of this? is this some dressed up attempt at bringing iran to the negotiating table or is this real? >> with president trump it's always difficult to tell, christiane because he's more impulsive than strategic. if you look at what happened with north korea, he did taunt kim jong-un a number of months before meeting him in singapore, and then he actually sang his praises. and so it's conceivable that he has a similar vision in mind with regards to iran. and, in fact, iranian officials leaked last week that president trump had actually tried to see president hassan rouh

southeast asia, africa, central america, the persian gulf, and the middle east. the withdrawal of soviet troops from afghanistan, of course, represents an historic step in itself, one that the general secretary and i agreed could serve as a model for settling other regional conflicts. a key part of my agenda for this moscow summit, as for my previous meetings with the general secretary, involved human rights. recently, the soviets have begun to show somewhat more respect for human rights. in the past year, for example, they have released some 300 political detainees from detention. it's my hope that what took place in my moscow visit will lead to still greater individual freedom for the peoples of the soviet union. you see, in addition to my meetings with mr. gorbachev, i held other meetings with monks at a monastery in moscow, with monastery in moscow, with nearly 100 dissidents and refuseniks, men and women who worked for years and freedom to speak, to assemble and to travel. at moscow university with students, indeed with the very students likely to become the

responded recently by threatening to block the strait of hormuz that's the water passage between the persian gulf and the gulf of oman which where roughly twenty percent of global oil passes through while such a move would create a possibility of armed conflict it's seen by observers as very unlikely however it does highlight the importance and significance of the matter to our rein in officials and to help us out in understanding all the ramifications of not only the iranian circumstance but other global oil's issues we are please once again to be joined by chris martenson the founder of peak prosperity dot com chris thanks for being with us what's your take on the iranian situation. well thanks for the invitation bart it's obviously pretty serious that the iranians in the united states have been going at it for a while along with saudi arabia as the proxy in this in this particular story and so as you just mentioned iran has said well you know if we can if you want to allow us to export oil will shut the strait of hormuz down you know this is a very narrow choke point as you mentioned twen

in the persian gulf after some of its own shipping was was attacked during the iraq iran war and some of those ships started carrying american flags and in america got involved in that tankers war in the persian gulf and that certainly put the entire oil production the world oil production at a risk so today the iranians the on the one hand they can deter the united states by saying that on the other hand they can also inflate the oil prices because that's after all what person trump is trying to do lower it ok when you say deterring the united states i mean it seems unlikely from everything we've heard from president trump about the iranian to leave before they've pulled out of it that they would be deterred by this i mean you likened it to a declaration of war where could this lead well this is the thing now so on friday we have the meeting of rouhani perhaps as foreign minister with the forum for five foreign ministers of france england germany russia. and china in the hope that they would come up with some kind of a deal that would revive the iran nuclear deal with iran making som
