most serious cases of poisoning in recent times sunny diagonal al-jazeera souls free iran's revolutionary guard says they're ready to carry out president haasan rouhani says threat to disrupt oil exports from the gulf rai said the measures could be taken if u.s. sanctions prevent his country from selling oil on global markets the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal in may and warned countries to stop importing iranian oil by november or face penalties alan fischer has more. the reunion president has been in a two day visit to switzerland one of the main topics of conversation the u.s. decision to violate the iran nuclear deal by pulling out now the u.s. wants countries to boycott really annoying this part of stronger international sanctions the president hassan rouhani has appeared to threaten oil exports from other middle eastern countries if the u.s. pushes ahead. it is incorrect in unwise to imagine that somebody or producer countries will be able to export their surplus oil in iran would not be able to export its oil now really and fishes have threatened to disrupt oil shipments in the

control of this country, and to be beholden to militias that have run directly by the arabian revolutionary guardhe russian pullout, the iranians are not going to give up the vantage point they have been able to establish and they're very strong presence in syria, going into lebanon, the helsinki summit, even if there was a agreement about assad, some of the other dynamics are left to be answered. what is the us administration's answer to that? who knows? i think, fundamentally, it is hard to understand what the us administrator is any more. because there's the president's tweets and his nomination, and there is the bureaucracy that works for him and they often are at loggerheads. 0n iran, it appears that the fulminations are more policy than they were with russia. john bolton said bad things about iran, at the same time the tweets went out, and the secretary of state did too. but there's all these other dynamics too. there is another sideshow with israel having an excellent relationship with russia, concerned with pulling back the militias from the israeli border. maybe for trump's own internal

stretches of water in the world and iran if pushed may cut it off president rouhani and the revolutionary guard are now talking about a possible block to the strait of hormuz in response to american threats of more sanctions alan fischer has more. the u.s. wants countries to boycott really you know oil is part of stronger international sanctions the president hassan rouhani has appeared to threaten the oil exports from other middle eastern countries if the u.s. pushes ahead as. it is incorrect in unwise to imagine that someday or produce a countries will be able to export their surplus oil and iran would not be able to export its oil. really and fish also threaten to disrupt oil shipments in the past to do so they would target the straits of hormuz that's a major shipping lane but it's also a small stretch of water between iran to the north and oman on the ribbon peninsula to the so at its narrowest point there are just fifty five kilometers between the two pieces of land twenty percent of the world's oil passes through here but i don't think iran will ever need to really exercise this threat w

resistance the entire iranian nation will resist these major general kassam silly money from iran's revolutionary guard said this on thursday quotes the red sea which was secure is no longer secure with the american presence trump should know that we are a nation of martyrdom and that we await him ok let's introduce our guests today joining us from london is dr mundo selami an international oil economist from washington d.c. we have al gore saying she's the c.e.o. of alcoa saying global strategy is a political and business firm both with projects in the u.s. and the middle east and we also have mustapha question a political commentator joining us live from tehran welcome to all of you men to sell them in london first quarter the hoofy rebels trying to achieve here they are trying to impact on saudi oil. exports and also two sure that they have the up out of in yemen. or in the m.m. has to be closely for a solid any bia and the united arab emirates and the proof is out of trying to assure the united the saudi any be a and that continuing the order will not give them and the benefit in the future. to com

well as a result there have been calls from iran's revolutionary guard to block the strait of hormuz used by gulf countries for exports the strait is controlled by iran to the north and in the south the us navy has already reacted by saying it's willing to provide security for trade in the region we are steve kane a professor of economics at kingston university whether the conflict could escalate . this particular incident of trump trying to control oil prices i think is really the beginning of the chaos of having a madman in control of a complex system so i think all bets are on if you try to control the oil price and push it down at the same time as run up push stock markets up and boost the economy all in one time it's like watching somebody trying to juggle thirty seven plates at once when they only now do it off one there's every possibility that he will enforce a blockade which around will have to respond to. yes i think conflict is quite feasible because oil prices are going to rise anyway given the pressure of demand with a recovering global economy process will rise well reg

have a different situation at this point they don't have nuclear weapons but they do have the revolutionary guard they do they are constitute a real threat a terrorist threat they have been gauging terrorist activities not only in the east but around the world so i think the notion that we're going to be able to just level a strike iran and prevent them from ever getting them into weapons is a bit optimistic and i think that we've got to be careful if there's a new deal that can be struck great but i don't know that by threatening that we're going to have fired fury is going to bring them to the table and hope it does but i think we'll just have to wait and see whether or not they're going to bend or whether or not the threats are going to harden the support for the clerical regime what's your reaction to where we are right now with north korea. well i'm still waiting for to hear from the north koreans you may recall that the language that was used we're going to insist upon a comprehensive. verifiable irreversible denuclearization. that was our position that was the bottom line we're going to si

there was regime collapse the people that would emerge from that are the worst people and the revolutionary guard>> president obama did not have a good personal relationship with prime minister netanyahu. now prime minister netanyahu is thrilled to bits because he thinks he has an ally in the white house. >> yes. >> do you see this middle east policy being directed by the israeli prime minister? >> i think the two most important people in american middle east policy are muhammad bin sal man and bibi netanyahu. >> the crown prince of saudi arabia. >> they are driving this. if you look at the gloves are off completely in yemen. the staff with qatar, and the prime minister of lebanon, that is muhammad bin salman's unconstrained with the full support of the united states and if you see the american embassy moving to jerusalem and then the killing of those palestinians in gaza, that is bibi netanyahu feeling unconstrained. so i do think in the absence of a lot of any -- any real vision or strategic clarity out of washington, that middle east policy -- >> do you take any sense of responsibility for tha

been bigger pro-government rally some people specifically mention general costs money a senior revolutionary guard commander who many here consider a national hero he's been part of iran's campaign against immortalized in this twenty seventeen animated film it depicts a military victory against u.s. naval forces with leading the charge. for many iranians this is the inevitable conclusion of american hostility towards their country and even peace makers here agree the closer these two sides come to open conflict. the harder it will be to walk. the older zero. and kimberly halakhah joins us live now from washington d.c. so camberley once again. words spoken strong words why is this happening now. well this is happening right now because there are sanctions that are about to be put into place and there are very strict sanctions in there even more coming and that's why we see this rhetoric going back and forth between both iran and the united states the sanctions in three weeks will hit the banking sector but it's the ones targeting the oil markets that are of the most concern to iran that's what we s
