a lot of talk has gone for the tehran research reactor and its needs for the fuel. i think that this is an artificial need for a number of reasons. in 2003 when iran disclosed to the iaea that it's building a heavy watt reactor to iraq which is another concern because of its plutonium production capabilities, the argument at this time was they needed this heavy reactor because the tehran research reactor is aging, it's not any more safe. and then besides that, they also acknowledge that it's located in earthquake-prone area, and almost in the middle of town because tehran has grown tremendously since 1960s when this reactor was built. so in 2003, they felt that this reactor is not needed. and i think it's in a way true still today, because if you think this has been built in 1960s, the location is not the best. so if i had to do this, i would build a reactor somewhere else. outside of tehran. i don't need to produce 20% enriched uranium to have a fuel for that. russia has still as a legacy from the cold war 100 tons of highly enriched uranium and i'm sure they're ha

speech at the military parade near tehran.t was apparently directed at western countries and israel. ahmadinejad said foreign interference will bring nothing but destructive in the region. he added that the enemy will regret any act of aggression towards his country. the u.s. and european nations are tightening sanctions against iran over its nuclear programs. israel says it will not rule out an attack on iranian nuclear facilities if necessary. iran and some western nations agreed last week to continue nuclear talks to achieve a diplomatic resolution. but with no tangible result in sight, israel is criticizing iran for buying time. it's unclear whether the talks will help ease military tensions. mojibate sanite, nhk world, tehran. >>> tokyo governor shintar shintaro ishihara says the metropolitan gft will proceed with the purchase of the senkaku islands. the 79-year-old politician and novelist exerts a strong influence on public opinion. ishihara spoke to reporters in washington on tuesday, one day after he announced the plan

the brazilian president he accepted the framework of what was actually alternately signed in the tehran declaration immediately afterwards he backed away and went for new sanctions so the u.s. has lost credibility the united states president said is discredited and the iranians only then produce enrich uranium at twenty percent and are now putting a fuel into the tehran reactor so the cancer patients could survive only when you think about that it sounds pretty peaceful there but we have plenty of people in western media and western capitals that want war ok i mean we keep hearing that this is the last chance the last chance before war this is new we even get out of jail time administration go right ahead that's why you're on the program my friend going to correct you. i don't i don't think that i don't think that it's fair to characterize the western a the western capitals as driving to war in fact if there's a criticism of them it's that for instance in the face of two now two i.e. reports identifying weaponization work in iran they've gone out of their way to dismiss those and to fin

new york city that was six thousand one hundred and seven miles now in case you're wondering from tehran the d.c. is sixth out. as in three hundred and thirty three miles so we can wants the u.s. to invest millions at a defense sense defense missiles as an excuse me the repair for a missile that does not even exists and is dangerous noah shachtman points out the u.s. is notorious for getting their run i.c.b.m. predictions all wrong first they said two thousand and three then it was twenty ten now it's twenty fifty eight out of that the sixteen u.s. intelligence agencies saying that iran is not nor are they planning on developing nuclear weapons the nuclear weapons which presumably would be on these nonexistence i think p.m.'s that are headed to the east coast then of course there's the un's i.e. a report that came out last year in november which lacked any evidence of the country developing the materials for their nuclear weapons program but who cares about the evidence right we've got money to burn and fake threats to build up again so let's be honest the chances of iran tripling the di

we report from tehran. >> reporter: the foreign ministers of the six-member gulf cooperation council met in doha, qatar, at the request of the uae. they issued a statement condemning the visit by the iranian president as provocative. they also said it was in clear violation of the uae sovereignty over the islands. iran has controlled the islands since 1971 after britain withdrew from the region. since then, an and the united arab emirates claimed sovereignty over the islands. president ahmadinejad remains firm on iran's claim. he stressed that the iranian army will not allow any hostile act on his territory. on wednesday, iran's foreign ministry told reporters that the statement by the persian gulf nations is groundless and interferes in iran's internal affairs. iran's parliament also issued a condemnation of the country's latest move. iran and the gulf nations are already at odds over iran's nuclear development. the latest route over the islands could further increase tensions between the persian gulf nations. nhk world, tehran. >>> afghanistan says it's going to need a huge amount

it is actually enough for the tehran research reactor for the next 10 years. more recently, iran has perhaps prepared the public opinion by also selling a one to export these materials. -- by telling that they want to export these materials. if you remember when president ahmadinejad was here in new york, he mentioned this is not economically viable. so it is a little odd that you produce something but it's not economically attractive. so why would you continue to produce? also, 3.5% in its uranium -- actually, there's very little need for iran on that as well, because they have secured the production --or secured fuel for the next 10 years. if you have enriched uranium and you have enough, manufacturing is not an easy thing. i think the gentleman can tell you more about it. you need to have all the specifications and such kind of deeds in order to manufacture this fuel safely. you cannot do all of this yourself. if you want to have it, this centrifuge is to produce fuel for pushel, pushel needs 20 tons of the richest uranium every year. so you need 10 times i

another round of negotiations are set for next month in baghdad and will the new negotiations with tehran be enough to prevent a potential iranian nuclear bomb and stave off a possible military strike on tehran's nuclear facilities. joining us, is the former u.n. ambassador, and fox news contributor, john bolton. >> good morning. >> eric: all the diplomats coming out of the meetings are enthusiastic with their smiley face on, they are happy iran is sitting down and talking. do you have your smiley face on? >> no. despite laughing. you know, look. this is really delusional. i mean, that is the only way to describe it. what iran has won here is five weeks delay until the next meeting. and, only in desperation can people believe that agreeing to another meeting is a real sign of success. what iran is doing here, exactly, as was predictable, is they are playing for time. they are stringing the negotiation out and the big concession they made, the reason for the positive atmosphere, described by the western diplomats, is, they actually talked about their nuclear program for the first time in a

we have a recent case study which is when the iranians turned down the tehran research deal after first accepting it, it allowed the united states to create a normous -- an enormous coalition. i think we're playing it about right, which it's not diplomacy as just in checking the box and that we're serious and if we're not serious, then we pivot towards a different approach. >> next question. >> my name is stephen davis. let's introduce another element into this equation. visiting the iaea web site today, they have an eight-minute introductory film. one of the commentators was henry kissinger who said, if we are standing with the podium with 20,000 nuclear weapons under our feet, it's very difficult to ask another nation not to develop one. if we are going to be serious about a nuclear-free world, do we not have to be serious about disarming ourselves? >> look, i think ultimately the nuclear none proliferation committee has reciprocal commitments. and states like the united states and the soviet union and others that signed the treaty initially as nuclear states, they have an obligation

from the university of tehran. there's a long list of things that iran is. unhappy about killing five iranian nuclear scientist in the last. thing the sanctions they. ordinary people in iran sanctioning. commodities like gas and being unhappy about sanctioning the central bank which is basically iranian bank which is basically a country trades with international companies in fact that some got surprising that iranian government officials go to these meetings and basically listen to the other side which is more or less repeating the same demands that are. not really acceptable to the iranian side asking iran to assault its its nuclear program and then iran asks why do you want us to do that they say that they think you are making it very clear by and at the same time we hear from the intelligence agencies or these countries united states even israel that iran is not a personal nuclear threat and so there's a lot of contradictory signals that are coming from the side and that is making the situation somewhat confusing. stay with us here on r t still to come in

tehran has deep difficulties acquiring equipment and technology for its nuclear missile -- nuclear and missile program. it's increasingly cut off financial system, unable to do the most basic financial transangsts as their economy has been grievously wounded. and the worst is still to come. in june a european embargo on imports of oil kicks in. folks, look, as a result of this unprecedented pressure, iran is back to the negotiating table. it can't predict what the end result will be, but they're back to the table. governor romney has called for what he calls a, quote, very different policy, end of quote, on iran. but for the life of me, it's hard to understand what the governor means by a "very different policy." here's what he says. he says we need "krcrippling sanctions." apparently unaware that through president obama's leadership we've produced just that, crippling sanctions. the emphasizes need for "a credible military option" and "a regular presence of aircraft carrier groups" in the region. apparently ignorant of the fact that's exactly what our policy is and what we're doing. t

tehran now claiming that it has actually cracked the codes of our u.s. spy drone they captured last year and iran says it is beginning to build an exact camy of the american drone. it is the sophisticated aircraft called the rq-170 sentinel and, iran says it shot down the drone last december and u.s. officials say that it now functions and it accidentally landed -- malfunctioned and accidentally landed automatically and since then, tehran has flaunted its capture and putting it out during a news conference, saying they are able to exploit the technology they've captured in that drone and they plan to use it against the united states. joining us now is former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, john bolton, a fox news contributor. and joins us every sunday, at this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric, glad to be here. >> eric: what will they do with the drone they are copying to use against us? >> well, i think everything that the regime in iran says with a grain of salt but, there is almost no doubt that they have made this drone ava

my question is, how is that heard in tehran? does it make a difference? >> one of the arguments is that we have to present realistic military option towards iran, that if there's no military threat, that iran would not come to the table. i think actually looking at the iranian nuclear program it is motivated by insecurity and fear. fear of u.s. military capabilities. so i don't think necessarily that the threat of attacking iran's facilities by the united states or israel is necessarily productive. you can argue that that threat actually make compel iran to weaponize its program in the future. even i think sanctions, we don't entirely know if sanctions will have the effect of dissuading iraq from weaponizing. it could get to a point, if the regime feels that its in peril, it could see a nuclear weapons capability as a solution to its problems. so threats when it comes to iran i think have a very limited effect. iran is already under the impression that it faces a military threat by the united states and israel. i think reiterating that constantly is not n

from tehran's perspective the u.s. is now winning in afghanistan. and the time will come when the united states will depart afghanistan, iran has pressured the afghan government not to assign a status of forces agreement with the united states. iran does not want a permanent presence, a u.s. presence in afghanistan. there is a good chance once the u.s. departs that iran will go back to its traditional policy of supporting groups against the taliban. i think iran is realistic enough to realize they will have a lot of influence in afghanistan and may dominate parts of the country. but it's also interested in maintaining its own zone of influence in western afghanistan. i think as long as western afghanistan is largely stable, this is okay with iran. as long as iran maintains some influence, it will not be a loss. it will be a win. at the same time iran's policy is nuanced, as was mentioned they have engaged the taliban before former president, afghan president was assassinated he was in charge of the peace negotiations with the taliban. he was visitin

tehran has where really you welcomed a recent report that the u.s. could allow iran to continue enriching uranium if the islamic republic agrees to unrestricted inspections this comes after talks resume between tehran and world has . been calling for a directive. that is artie's garniture can reports the cry for conflict remains louder your thirty six the number of u.s. lawmakers have proposed a bill to end the no contact policy between the u.s. and iran after three decades of diplomatic silence congressman dennis kucinich is one of them he says the old approach when washington wants to resolve differences with iran through not talking to them is unsustainable we're being tall we should have any contact with them we're being told that we shouldn't be negotiating with them we're being told. to get ready for war all of that is wrong what we need to do is to have direct negotiations. we need to be talking with iran and we need to stop this vainglorious notion that somehow we can settle our differences with iran through war how many people share your vie

iranians only then produce enrich uranium at twenty percent and are now putting in fuel into the tehran reactor so the cancer patients could survive no matter what you think about that it sounds pretty peaceful there but we have plenty of people in western media and western capitals that want war ok i mean we keep hearing that this is the last chance the last chance before a war this is what you even you know even have that have made mistakes go right ahead that's why you're on the program my friend going to correct you i don't i don't think that i don't think that it's fair to characterize the western nation the western capitals as dragged into war in fact if there's a criticism of them it's that for instance in the face. to now to i.a.e.a. reports identifying weaponization work in iran they've gone out of their way to dismiss those and to find other explanations in the same way that the professor is doing in lebanon and i don't think that it's fair to characterize contre the rest of the international community's consensus the fordo facility as being merely peaceful in fact the kind of

of silence and suspicion the world powers meet with the wrong to discuss its nuclear program which tehran insists is peaceful. and the people of new delhi are said to vote in regional elections but it could end up being a choice between alleged murderers and fraudsters of many candidates marred by a criminal process. but from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he's now it's good to have you with us six pm here in the russian capital five pm in damascus and the third day of cease fire in syria is being prepped for the test with reports of shellings and killings the un security council is expected to vote on saturday over deploying an observer mission to monitor the troops well anti-government rallies have resumed across the country but there's concern they're being hijacked by rebels that's unavoidable reports from the syrian capital. it was good friday for syrian orthodox christians but it didn't bode well for the country at large three people lost their lives in demonstrations nationwide threatening the fragile ceasefire before it even reached the end of its se

it really what about this nuclear she hit all the the sanctions the pressure we're seeing on the tehran government is there a wider agenda here. well i think that threatening iran has sort of gained a momentum of its own and it's sort of an end unto itself i don't know that. anyone really wants to start attacking them and i'm sure there are some people in both the u.s. and israeli governments would like to see that but i think. what do they want to see her must feel so i'm going to briefly did i want to see a region regime change like that trying to see in syria and let me just briefly oh they certainly want to but i don't think it's realistically going to happen jason when he with their thanks so much your thoughts jason did news editor that you would call thanks for telling us you. hear of his present three hundred twenty million dollars worth of assets belonging to form the tycoons on the run from russian authorities among those who've had the acid seized as for only got bodies but is off skate currently living in asylum in london and not brussels correspond to us it has more on the

but we have a recent case study, which is when the iranians turned down the tehran research reactor deal at the end of 2009 after first accepting it, it allowed the united states to create an enormous coalition to pass a security council resolution against the iranians in the spring of 2010 which is the most severe sanctions iran has ever faced by the international community. so i think we're playing it about right, which is that it's not diplomacy as just checking the box, like the bush administration did in 2002, but that we actually mean it and that the onus is on iran to show they're serious and if they're not serious, then we pivot towards a different approach. >> next question. >> yes. my name is stephen davis. let's introduce another element into this equation. visiting the i-aer, website today, they have an eight-minute introductory film. one commentator is henry kissinger who said if we are standing at the podium with 20,000 nuclear weapons under our feet, it's very difficult to ask another nation not to develop one. if we are going to be serious about a nuclear free world, do w
