we didn't see a lot of big people in tehran for some reason. it was popular after the resolution to have the beards that were well kept and closely shaved. i understand that that was a sign of being one of these people that fought in the revolution or supported the revolution. women dressed in a certain way. women had their head covered in public. what they'd do is have a ponytail or a bun. i'm a guess person to illustrate this. there would be a head covering and you'd see the back of their hair, their head, and most of the front of it. about a quarter or an eighth of their head would be covered. and you go to other areas where they were in a fedora, fully covered head to toe. we didn't see people with faces covered in iran. you saw variation in the women, those lightly covers had a fashionable sense about them. >>> there's a history of hostility between iran and the united states that spans decades, for americans, that history dates to 1979. >> there was more chanting and shouting. >> reporter: that's when radical students fired up by the revo

saudi arabia had ambassador in tehran but didn't have one in baghdad.it didn't make any sense but abdullah, king abdullah was immoveable on this subject. i think now the saudis are less immoveable but at the same time, remember that along the border between saudi arabia and iraq they're building a fence that donald trump would be proud of. [laughing] >> thanks. alex, might not have been direct questions but anything you would like to respond to in the questioning? >> no. i want to clarify the point i made about the shias and saudi arabia. the argument that the kingdom of saudi arabia is going against the shias is one hard-liners in tehran are putting forward. that is not one necessarily that mainstream islamic republic of iran subscribes to. even if they did, the likes of ayatollah rafsanjani, the godfather of the iraqi camp, making argument, we made it back in the 1990s. i mean, iran could, after, the very nasty 1980s when saudi arabia backed saddam hussein, founded in itself to go reach out to saudi arabia by the early 1990s much if they could do it a

nuclear watchdog wants iran to confirm whether it has built an extension to a military facility outside tehran. the country is suspected of having conducted tests at the site to develop nuclear weapons. officials with the international atomic energy agency distributed a report on iran's nuclear development to member states. it was the first update since iran and six world powers reached a final agreement last month to limit tehran's nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions. the u.n. agency says iran is broadly complying with the agreement. for example, it's providing information on allegations of past work on nuclear weapons by the agreed deadline. but the iaea officials says satellite imagery has revealed that an extension has been made to the parchin military site. they say such activity could undermine its ability to verify whether tests have been conducted there. western countries had urged iran to allow iaea inspectors to enter the facility, but the final agreement did not refer to inspections due to opposition from tehran. >>> the u.s. and south korean militaries have wra

they overran the facility, the uk shut down the embassy in tehran. they expelled iranian diplomats and shut down the iranian embassy in london. the british embassy in tehran and the iranian embassy in london have been shut. they reopened with a little fanfare. just as john kerry flew to havana to oversee the raising of the u.s. flag over our reopened embassy in havana, the brits sent their foreign secretary all the way to iran. they sent them to tehran to reopen the british embassy there. well, guess who he brought with him. this is the british foreign secretary, the equivalent of their secretary of state. guess who he brought with him? he brought with him to iran shell oil. he brought with him the vice president of shell oil. shell's executive vice president for commercial and new business development. that guy from shell oil went with phillip hammond. we're trying to figure out if that guy from shell bent on the same plane with the british foreign secretary. we think he did. we have asked shell for confirmation on that. shell quite possibly has los

phillip hammond, his visit to tehran is the first by a foreign secretary in 12 years. the two embassies have been closed for four years. reopening them is significant. what is also significant is the reason behind this. this is more than politics or diplomacy. the delegation to tehran comprices delegates to the foreign military and the treasury. senior representatives of energy, mining and electricity companies. the reality is there are billions of dollars of business that is likely to open up as relations thaw between britain and iran, and the british do not want to miss out on the dollars. >> reporter: planned talks between india and pakistan collapsed hours before they were due to start. pakistan pulled out staying it will not accept india's preconditions, it wants to discuss the dispute over kashmir's region, england wants the meeting between the national security advisors to focus on terrorism. we have more from the indian capital new delhi, but first let's hear from our correspondent in kashmir. >> although the indian prime minister narenda modi and the pakistani

congress should mitigate the risks attendant to an arrest and emboldened regime in tehran. these principles that could help inform a new strategy to address the dangers risk stemming from iran to u.s. could and should adopt aggressive financial constriction campaign focusing on the revolutionary guard and the the revolutionary guard and a core element of the regime that engage in terrorist financing, proliferation and human rights abuses. this could include secondary sanctions. the should every commitment to the elements of a nonproliferation regime focus on iran, reinforce our financial measures against the iranian banks using section 311 of the patriot act. the global attributes expansively to target finances and holdings of giving and receiving and those involving gross human rights violations on its behalf. these are just some of the measures that could be taken to confront the risk from iran and shape a new sanctions framework. just very quickly, when president rouhani came back to the negotiating table, a western diplomat based in tehran should we think that we had wo

embassy in tehran has been invaded and occupied by iranian students.de have been taken prisoner. >> i'll be honest with you. i was scared. who knows what a mob could do? >> the american hostages were blindfolded, handcuffed and marched out on the u.s. embassy's front steps by the revolutionary students. in return for their american hostages' freedom, they're demanding the united states give up the deposed shah of iran from his hospital bed in new york to stand trial before a people's court. >> amidst the iranian revolution, america's ally the shah of iran is toppled. both the shah and the united states seem to be aloof to the revolutionary fervor. >> the new iranian islamic republic would be inspired by the stern religious principles of islam, nothing else. >> ayatollah khomeini became the enemy of the united states the moment he replaced the shah. he gave a series of sermons that condemned the loss of iranian sovereignty. >> when ayatollah khomeini saw large groups supporting in front of the embassy, he made the decision, i'm not going to stand agains

two weeks ago, i traveled to iran -- tehran. do the iranians recognize how they are viewed in the region, particularly in the war in syria. they were the dominant outside layers in the levant.\ do they sense they had any role in the lives of islamic state in both countries? now, following the nuclear accords, what is iran, what kind of country is it? is it a status quo country or a revolution still unfolding question mark is change possible in the region and the fianna accords make that a pressing question. i will give you my observations as a list and we can discuss them later if you have weston's. -- questions. there is a historic moment here that everybody knows about and has to be seized and i am not white sure how it will be done. the first thing is to say it has happened. iran has come in from the cold. after 36 years of isolation after its revolution, the nuclear agreement am assuming it is fully implemented, will put iran back in the mainstream of international life. it will be going to geneva talks about syria and many

is it possible and feasible that we have agreed to tehran using its own inspectors?i think there's less than meets the eye. the best we can piece together from some pretty sketchy associated press reports suggest that the iaea, the inspectors, have agreed with tehran that the physical swiping of the samples and collecting of the samples will be done by iranian individuals but it will be under the very close supervision, monitoring and direction of the actual iaea inspectors, so if that's really the case and, again, i think that the reporting has been very sketchy on this, it's probably something that is not all that unusual. we have seen in the past i think in south africa other situations where the actual physical work has been done by people on the ground who live there but, again, under the very strict control, direction and physical proximity of the actual inspectors themselves -- >> right. >> -- so i'm trusting this is what's actually happened here. appears from the head of the iaea inspection program that that's what they're really talking about. >> congresswom

companies in europe and asia who are now going to find interlocutors and business partners in tehran conduct legitimate business and all things economic double not promote terrorism to build bridges and hospitals, who are they going to work with in europe? my take is they will work with a lot of higher gc companies that haven't been designated. half treasury and the state department administration as a whole decided to negotiate but at the same time continue to enforce sanctions that remained in the law books. not just iranians by the way and the business community outside the united states. one more example. the italian at the end of it as everybody else in europe sent a very high-profile delegation to tehran. but they were the third one they went last week and the foreign minister was fair and one of the ministers for the economy was fair. it is a huge high-level delegation of business leaders. they find all sorts of memorandums of understanding and agreements. when that was signed as a contract worth 500 million euro, about $557 million of exchange between one of the biggest publi
