inspectors that president rouhani and he's administration struck a deal with the i.a.e.a. for 3 months and then was accused by parliament of not abiding by that bill so time is running out but ultimately those negotiators will have to come back to tehran and discuss with the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei who is the political and spiritual leader of the country and put to him what's on the table and he will have the final say or a stay with us because just before those negotiations resume there's been an important development now south korea saying iran has freed one of its oil tankers and the captive iran sees the south korean flag ship in january accusing its crew of oil pollution there's been tension though between the 2 sides since south korea froze $7000000000.00 of iran's money as part of u.s. sanctions the obvious question then as said is there any sign of a link between the $2.00 issues. certainly is a coincidence isn't it that this ship is being released while these talks in vienna are taking place it could be that this is a sign from iran to show to the west t

yes very delicate president hassan rouhani speaking a cabinet meeting this morning he said that it was a success he boasted about his government's handling of the economy over the last 2 to 3 years in the face of sanctions and what he called an economic war a view that may not be shared by many hearing. because the economy has struggled he was very beaten he actually said that is the united states that is seeking in direct and direct talks and it's the united states that's been humbled and it is the united states that wants to repent for its past mistakes and wants to rejoin the g 8 but the context for this is that there are presidential elections set to take place in june he's terminal soon and he doesn't want to be known as a president that resided over a failed nuclear deal and was unable to deliver on his promise of getting u.s. sanctions lifted on iran but there still is a very long way to go iran doesn't seem to be compromising on its demands that all sanctions must be lifted before iran reverses any measures taken in its nuclear program so we'll see those talks are still ongoing

. -- hassan rouhani.idents like this one reduce the appetite to be bold and make courageousecisns and let go of some of the hardened positions. this is what, i believe, is behind this. i would for now assume that iran will not so easily leave the table in vienna. this goes back to what you said earlier, that the iranians are saying that they will respond in due time, which means that they are not going to respond immediately. brent: we will definitely be looking at those talks, which are resuming this week in vienna, to see if there is any impact. as always, it's good to see you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. >> my pleasure. brent: let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the global chemical weapons watchdog says it has reasonable grounds to believe the syrian regime used chemical weapons in a 2018 attack on idlib. a report found the syrian airports dropped a bomb that the syrian government has consistently denied using in the countr

for another round of talks aimed at reviving the nuclear deal with while powers president hassan rouhani made the announcement during a virtual meeting on iran's and you knew nuclear technology day the country's been steadily moving away from the terms of the 2050 nuclear deal since the united states pulled out under former president donald trump the european union's been acting as a go between to try and facilitate some sort of negotiating process well as a big as intact ron and says iran has not changed path. this is a national day of nuclear chief this day came about back in 2006 when iran managed . to about 3.5 percent using centrifuges made in the country now we were expecting over $130.00 announcements of new achievements in relation to its nuclear program now iran is using more advanced centrifuges and feeding into them but it's also began production of the 6 centrifuges that's important because under the 2015 nuclear deal iran is restricted to using older and less efficient centrifuges not these ones but also. apparently the production of the centrifuges was damaged because of ap

the towns there is a great deal of pressure on foreign minister devolves refund president hassan rouhani and the reformist government to act and to act right now if you look at some of the headlines one of the headlines was. the power of diplomatic. power over the talks and laughter because there's been many images of foreign minister divides raef laughing and smiling with foreign ministers and he's been criticized for that they conservatives inside the country believe that he should be acting tougher that iran should take a tougher stance and time is running out because we have that presidential election coming up in june and the president hassan rouhani is administration will come to an end later this year and the u.s. and europe may be faced with ministration here in iran is much less likely to want to talk to the united states and the europeans and much much less likely want to return to that deal but for foreigners to also did say that if the united states thinks that they can get concessions from iran through sanctions or encouraging acts of terrorism by israel against iran they're

will come back into compliance with that 2015 nuclear deal in fact this morning president has been rouhani has been speaking and he said that iran has the capability to enrich to 90 percent now that's weapons grade but he did add that iran's nuclear program is peaceful and that iran doesn't want a nuclear weapon he pointed to the united states without mentioning them he said it is you who have nuclear weapons and store them and said that iran would return to that 3.67 percent enrichment level stipulated by the 2015 nuclear deal if those sanctions were lifted now one of the head negotiators for iran has been speaking and what he has said that took place in that meeting in vienna is that he started off by condemning that attack that act of sabotage as he called it nuclear terrorism that took place at natanz on sunday and he criticized the europeans for not condemning it said it was a weak response and he continued to say that iran is not after wasting time but talks will continue and that's something that's been echoed by the supreme leader here at the last how many he said that he is not op

internal politics taking place there's a presidential election coming up in june president hassan rouhani his 2nd term will come to an end and he doesn't want to be remembered as the president that resided over a failed deal and he was unable to deliver on his promise of lifting getting those u.s. sanctions lifted but the issue of the nuclear deal is expected to pay play a major role in those presidential debates and the reformists are going to be attacked by the conservatives and the conservatives who dominate parliament they were never for the agreement in the 1st place so yes the president rouhani has said that he's optimistic but the final decision will build rests with the supreme leader. irish premier british prime minister calling for calm in northern ireland after 7 times of violence between pro british loyalists and republican nationalists more than 70 police officers were injured in clashes reports. first. another night of violence in belfast with rioters hurling rocks and shooting fireworks at police in turn the police used water cannon on demonstrators for the 1st time in year

so there's reason to be hopeful knowing that on both the iranian side under the rouhani administrationen administration there's an impetus to want to come back to the deal. yes. the state of iran's economy suggests that iran would like sanctions to be lifted. but there are plenty, aren't there, in terms of domestic politics, who benefit in a way from a kind of cold war with the united states. and with elections coming up that could get complicated. and that's why this window of opportunity is so important. elections are coming up injune in iran. under this administration, the rouhani administration, they really stake their administration on detante with united states, on diplomacy, and on this deal. so this is the perfect window of opportunity for the united, keeping in mind that how this negotiation goes, how the us actually reacts to lifting sanctions will have an impact on the election itself. so we can't predict 100% what's going to happen an election in iran, and the same way that you can't predict an election anywhere else. and in terms of having, you know, a diverse political op

but many people are spoken to say that this really is a good stocks the iranian president hassan rouhani has praised the efforts to revive the 2050 nuclear deal this new success his country met the signatories to the pact in vienna on tuesday the u.s. took part in directly but as the talks continue an iranian ship was attacked off the coast of japan said big reports now from the iranian capital. a coincidence or an attempt to sabotage the nuclear talks an attack on an iranian ship in the red sea iran says the m.v. was being used as a base to support the just an anti piracy operations but it's long been believed the cargo ship was used by iran's revolutionary guards and israel quickly emerged as a possible suspect for the attack last month israel had accused iran of targeting one of its vessels but neither country is admitting responsibility for either incident in the case of the m.v. sevis it's believed the miners attached to the ship as a nuclear talks in vienna got under way it's hard to consider this a coincidence maybe it is but you know the good news is that the entire world support

attacked that they will have enemies within the region and this is a very difficult time for the rouhani administration so yes those talks are set to take place and this adds an extra layer of conflict complexity and also makes that more difficult than it already is as the lines there from. let's go over now to harry and west jerusalem and how i've been hearing some very strong words from iran any response so far from israel. no as we've come to expect at these sorts of times the israeli comment is none neither confirming nor denying this officially but there is a lot of reporting in the israeli media and in the foreign media based seemingly on pretty extensive leaking and briefing behind the scenes from israeli and other intelligence sources and not for the 1st time the new york times is leading the way on some of this through it's extremely well connected israeli security reporter ronen bergman an article new york times saying that this was an explosion at the isolated protected power supply of the natanz enrichment facility totally destroying that power supply and setting the accordin

being lifted and he said that the united states that must show actions now the president has and rouhani has said that the last few years have been some of the most difficult he has ever seen that's quite a statement considering this country had a war with iraq over 8 years and they were missiles raining down on the iran now that's an admission but also the iranians believe that they have seen through the worst of this that they have a resistance economy that the maximum pressure campaign has failed so iran is in no hurry to negotiate or compromise but president hassan rouhani is term does come to an end in a few months time after the presidential elections and he doesn't want to be remembered as a president that resided over a failed agreement and he wasn't able to deliver on his promise of lifting sanctions but even if he and his administration wants to have these negotiations or direct talks or in direct talks it's the supreme leader khamenei who really counts and what he has said that iran will take no steps no actions until all those sanctions are lifted now this could be a tactic t

iran's president has held progress in these latest efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal hassan rouhani has called tuesday's talks in vienna a new success for his government to working groups of in session to discuss the possible lifting of u.s. sanctions as well as tehran's commitment to the deal and also on tuesday and iranian navy ship was attacked in the red sea it's still unclear who is responsible let's speak now to us a big case in the iranian capital tehran for us as of starting with this ship attack i know the details are sketchy but. what more do we know at this stage. what we do know is that this ship was attacked sometime yesterday morning now is raining state t.v. is saying that this ship belonged to the iranian navy it was used as a base in the red sea it's been there for a number of years and it supports commandos that carry out operations to protect iranian merchant vessels and world tankers what the iranian state t.v. says is from piracy we believe that this there was a mine attached to this ship that caused an explosion and this is a number of attacks have taken place

he told politicians to work on the premise that sanctions will not be lifted and president hasn't rouhani has said that the last few years have been the toughest he has ever seen that's quite a statement when you take into account there was an 8 year war with iraq when they were missiles raining down here on the iran and the reason the iranians are taking that position is because they believe that the maximum pressure campaign has failed the supreme leader has said so ranking politicians have said so they believe in their resistance economy in fact the central bank here says that the economy has grown 2.2 percent in the last 9 months so they believe they've seen through the worst of it but president hassan rouhani is term comes to an end in a few months time after the presidential elections and he doesn't want to be remembered as the president that reigned over a failed 2050 nuclear deal and he wasn't able to deliver on his promise of lifting u.s. sanctions so he is keen but so far the person that really counts is the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei and he's position remains unchang

that's a 2015 nuclear deal and the reason president hassan rouhani is saying this is because there's a presidential election coming up in june and he's term will come to an end later this year and he doesn't want to be remembered as the president that resided over a failed nuclear deal and was unable to deliver on his promise of getting the u.s. sanctions lifted on iran's but that's the context of what he's saying and yes he is hopeful and he is optimistic because it means political capital for him and he's reformists reformist supporters but there's still a long way to go because iran's position still hasn't changed iran is sticking to its guns and saying that all u.s. sanctions must be lifted before iran begins to reverse any measures it's taken a spin in its nuclear program ok lots to keep an eye on there will let you get back to it and said big there life for us and to her and as a thank you now turkish courts is handed down life sentences for 4 soldiers for their involvement in the 2016 could attempt they're charged with plotting to overthrow president richard typer to $11.00 of

their eyes open now that issue around that time frame has both been highlighted by president hassan rouhani and foreign minister zarif who both have said that time is running out because the reality on the ground here is that the presidential elections take place in june this administration's time in office ends in august so any deal would be binding on the next government and if there isn't a deal the next government may be less likely to want to engage negotiate around that 2015 nuclear deal. as had big reporting live from tehran let's get the thoughts of 000 senior political analyst mullen bashara is is with us now on the mood music surrounding the resumption of these talks doesn't exactly inspire confidence that's the terms attack as when he put a spanner in the works doesn't it when you know it's raw going to predictable aegean in a sense that we know that both of them have come to you know really new deal that is in tatters a lot of things have happened since the last 4 years in some ways president biden is trying to exploit the measures of the sanctions taken by his predecessor trump
