decisions had been made about nazi germany already at tehran. was important for a combined military strategy and the so-called second front was being decided upon because stalin insisted on it. if you think about it, the united states had landed in africa and then in italy, making theiíç in 1943.bootx the soviets had already defeated moscow in 1943. so while these vital -- while this vital progress was being made on the ?fç;battlefield, he they decided, finally, we're going to open up a second front, six months after the end of -- six months after the tehran conference. so in that sense, the second front had been a sore issue between the western powers and stalin for two years. it was first promised in may of 1942, and now, finally, stalin insisted that it came about because he wanted to relief his armies in the east and upon stalin's insistence, it finally was promised that there would be a landing in france, operational overlord, and another landing in the south of france, operation anvil. and this would force hitler into a two-front war. he

in tehran, the important second front decision was made.unconditional surrender of casablanca was reaffirmed by the soviets as whale -- as well. i would definitely think that tehran was the most important meeting by the sheer fact that all three of the met. >> i will get to the question to your left near the middle. >> three quick questions. one -- firstly, thank you for your wonderful presentation. how did roosevelt and truman travel? secondly, in the post world configuration of germany, how did france get involved when they were in the top three? and finally, in the percentage arrangement, for example hungary was 50%. how did it finally work out that the soviets funny took over? how did that work? >> those are three big questions. with regard to how did hall and truman travel, i told you how roosevelt got to yalta. it was very difficult to get there. how i think -- halter can airplane i think. truman still took a ship. if you think about symmetry, it was also being made possible by more comfortable traveling arrangements that they can mak

six months after the end of tehran conference. so in that sense the second front had been a sore issue between the western powers and stalin for two years. if was first promised in may of 1942, and he insist thad it came about because of stalin's insistence. they have landed in france, another landing in the south of france, and this would force hitler into a war and he would have to fight in the west, too. there was three or four fronts already going on because he was fighting in italy. he was fighting in scandinavia, he had armies all over. so the big three met in tehran, in persia in 1943, not only did the big three meet, but their combined chiefs of staff met there as well. the military leaders of the british and the americans. so you sort of see that the military matters were important as diplomatic matters for the post world order. so the polish issue was beginning to be discussed again. they will talk about it later on at yalta later on. one of the chief issues, so poland's boundaries and future government, this is an issue

the current political climate iran finds itself in mainly the rhetoric that's been coming out of tehran towards washington and their behavior in the region as iran puts it it's seriously significant because it shows that iran is actually fed up with this nuclear deal and there was supposed to be a grace period of 2 months from early december until early february when this law was passed in parliament demanding that iran's atomic energy agency resume 20 percent enrichment levels as a result of the united states leaving the nuclear deal and imposing sanctions on iran this bill was called sanctions relief bill so since that hasn't happened the problem in terror is who are very conservative voice in the country that said that iran needs to take further steps president hassan rouhani didn't completely agree with it but it appears now he has actually decided to go ahead with this because legally his bound to but the iranians have told the i am december 30th that he intended to do this but they haven't given the time we understood it to mean that iran was giving the incoming u.s. administratio

summits mousavi is a professor of political science at tehran university he joins us by skype from tehran thanks for your time what do you think it's changed in iran longer term as a result the sentiment is to. well i think it has really high tensions between iran and the united states i mean iran and the united states have had hostile relations in the past 4 decades nevertheless relations have never been so bad you have to understand the awesome stealing money wasn't just a normal military general he was very close to your wrong sue crean leader and he was sort of like a celebrity in the monkey reigne and as you just pointed out he was instrumental in defeating isis and as a result of that assassinating him while the 2 countries were actually not at war was the crossing of a major red line a major red line and i think that will be very difficult to bridge once biden comes into power what about the wrong influence in iraq so the money his death had any longer term impact on that front. also so when the americans assassinated awesome soleimani the calculation was that it would serve a seve

administration warning against closer ties with tehran to 10 general. says he's ordered his forces to step up preparations for possible military action in the coming year is also urging president joe biden to step back from any return to the 2050 nuclear deal. i had instructed the army to prepare a number of operational plans to the existing ones we are taking care of these plants and developing that in the coming year those who decide on cutting them out of course but the political leaders but these plans have to be on the table and practiced. on tension between israel and iran has only been getting worse last january israel defended the us after it killed gus emslie money the head of iran's elite force the israeli military was then put on high alert after iran threatened revenge then in november iran's top nuclear scientists most infact resigned he was killed in tehran iran blamed israel for the attack but it never issued a a comment then just last week israel launched an attack against iranian links in syria israel was intensifying its a campaign the

in tehran in 1979 also had grand ambitions beyond just iran and the community in his own country and beyond. so you have two countries, saudi arabia, one shia suddenly vying for leadership of the muslim world and that is not only the change of the politics in the region started slow growth of sectarian language as both countries yielded those identities and their efforts to dominate the region and rally the people to their side and in that battle, they both distort and exclude religion and the pursuit any leader would understand and that is raw power, but that is the constant from 1979 to this day. i believe nothing has changed as deeply and fundamentally as the events of 1979 and the ways that started after those events. other pivotal moments and or start wars. they began a process that transformed the society. i think it's important to understand when they ripple across not just years but several decades over time people's memories of what came before. but it didn't begin as an effort to bring theocracy to the country. they rode that wave and came out on top. the story that i tell

has more now on the iranian reaction from tehran. but the position here is that these are seen as it really desperate attempts in the final days of the trump administration to try and really further destabilize this region and that's something that they have not been successful in doing to spite the numerous efforts that they've undertaken over the past 4 years but what was significant about the specifics speech by the secretary of state was that he drew the links between these 2 between these 2 groups iran and al qaeda when they are very very different ideologies they have very different goals and iran has said in the past that these claims are simply false when it came to the assassination of the so-called al-qaeda leader on the streets of tehran in august the foreign minister zarif said in the past recently that he knows president like joe biden from his years of being a diplomat the reigning. representative to the united nations. had met joe biden on a number of occasions welter of both working at the united nations so they do ha

after flying to tehran, he had problems with his, year and he was afraid to do that.ictators he was quite paranoid in the sense that he didn't want to go anywhere where he wasn't under the protection. and tehran was the place that was half occupied by the red army, it was taking place in the territory, completely occupied, yalta wasn't exception. he also bogged the promises which helped with the negotiation. but why did the leaders of the western world decide to go through all of that trouble, and travel as far as yalta. professor bischof already mentioned that fdr couldn't fly above a certain level. those were conditions, really and pressurized, so it is very difficult, especially with his health condition at the time. why did they do that? well, the reason was that they actually needed something from stalin. they were there to negotiate not just the end of the war, but also peace after the war, before the soviets were in berlin. before the soviets fully solidified their control of eastern and central europe. that was also one of the reasons why churchill blue to mos

it was not clear and obvious at tehran.ost of these soldiers on the western side that were on the front lines, they were british. now, the americans after d-day outnumbered the british. the british are the junior partner already in this alliance that's working in the west, and when you bring installing, that actually diminishes the british negotiation of power. and he wants a lot. he wants really to, he gave away the balkans to a degree to stall in 1944, but he is not prepared to do the same. so the future of germany, the role of france as a great power with great britain to ally in the future and help to keep western and central europe away from the soviet union are very important for him. so there is a long list of things that he wants to achieve, but his negotiation power has diminished it yalta compared to what's happened before that. and this is the map that that helps us to understand why those two western leaders are at yalta, and also help us to understand the first day of the discussions that was dedicated to the s

had reza golems out as head of the public diplomacy research institute he joins us via skype from tehran good to have you with us what do you think of this appointment of robert malley thank you very much for having me. appointment up robert malley can be a positive signal to iranians since the person has been in the negotiation a long white ministration and he had the constructing a particular approach toward the wine and he has a good understanding of irani i actually because a major problem that has been between iran and the united states for decades has been the issue dead the 2 sides don't seem to have a quick understanding from each other especially to mary counts from the rain so misunderstanding was a great hindrance in negotiations or talks or any relations between the 2 countries so if the person who always now is appointed now is familiar with what you are scenes and you're in your mind certainly ring in demand then the talks can be constructing a fruitful so if it was because she you know if it is seen as a goodwill appointment how might might tehran respond. well there's a p

successful to a limited extent in that way but the question will be what this latest decision in tehran what reaction that will provoke prior to this announcement we know that the german foreign minister hochul muss has said that he believed there was one last window of opportunity in the new year i.e. now for some sort of decision to be arrived at which would keep the deal going but he said that it was important that teheran didn't overplay its hand well quite what mr marks will make of what's happening now in tehran while we wait to see that has not been an official reaction so far the other thing to point out here is that the european side of things is very much being of the opinion behind the scenes at least that they would wait to see what the incoming president after january 20th would make of that that joe biden president elect joe biden might well take a different view to that of president donald trump regarding this deal certainly that's been the hope amongst the 3 european countries that with perhaps a different president in the white house that might be a different attitude t

but tehran's announcement is part of a much bigger danger brewing in the region.sions are running high as the iranians mark the one-year anniversary of the killing of general qassem soleimani. now, at the time, iran retaliated with fury at his assassination by carrying out a ballistic missile attack on a u.s. military base in western iraq that left dozens of american troops injured. just hours later, in what was described as a "horrifying mistake," iranian forces shot down a ukrainian passenger jet killing all 176 on board. since then, the tensions with the trump administration, even now in its final days, have continued to boil, and this nuclear announcement isn't helping. >> diaz: so, what signal is iran trying to send to the world by increasing its uranium enrichment? >> reporter: well, tehran wants the world to know, despite president trump's "maximum pressure" campaign of crippling tanding and still has leverage standing and still has leverage. but when we consider the assassination of the top nuclear scientist, the killing tehran blames on israel, and u.s. w
