u.n. so we are particularly grateful to you for making the time. kelly craft hails from the great state of kentucky and served as our permanent representative to the united nations since september of 2019. before then she was the u.s. ambassador to canada for two years and during that time, very complex time, she worked on the revisiting of the nafta treaty now known as the u.s.-mexico canada agreement. to interview the ambassador we , have a columnist at bloomberg opinion covering national security and foreign policy. ambassador craft, we look forward to hearing your views on the trump administration's engagement with the united nations and other international institutions, the critical upcoming vote, possibly extending the iran arms embargo and all your great efforts to restore aid to syria in spite of chinese and russian opposition, over to you, thanks. eli: thank you for doing this. i thought i would start with a question having to deal with the 75th anniversary of the united nations,

u.n. sanctions against iran so the strategy from iran very much has been to carry on in this diplomatic battle now last friday they won a small battle when the united states tried to extend the arms embargo that was seen as a victory here into her arm because the united states only managed to get one vote but this next stage is far more complicated far more contentious where we have russia and china backing iran and the reviewer p n 3 germany france and the u.k. saying that they cannot support the united states in this move now if these sanctions are bought back it will force iran's hand this deal is already on its last legs and iran has started scaling back its commitments to that nuclear deal to 2015 nuclear deal a year after donald trump pulled the united states out of it in 2018 so iran said that they would be they waited for a year to try to see if there was a way around u.s. sanctions that didn't happen and according to iran they are well within their rights within that 2015 nuclear

the new u.n. is only a strong as the u.n. security council actors how and how to exercise that pizza and influence with the mission i think it's not inoculated it's not immune from being swayed one way or the other and we shouldn't we should remember that the government of national accord today that sense is a party to this conflict was supposed to be the solution to the last complex and it was supposed to be you know made up of a unity government made up of the different sides of the military factions of the political wings and trends that were moving around a bit so you know we have a track record and a president an imperfect solution and he's invented solutions or was just good enough and you know everything gets brushed under the carpet so i think that's my main fear here is that whilst there seems to be some really great efforts and some are. great talk by the u.n. and by others that are supporting this initiative it's so easy for unilateral policies made by you know states of the u.n. security council level to turn a bl

was that restores all u.n. sanctions on iran well we'll have the reaction from us and begun terror on the moment but 1st let's speak to kristen salumi at u.n. headquarters in new york kristin so this u.s. sponsored vote has failed was this expected and talk us through what happened. yes we just had a very quick meeting of the u.n. security council in which the results were announced and it's not a surprise that the resolution failed china and russia had voiced strong opposition to it prior to this what is a surprise is that the united states only had one other vote in support of this resolution so 2 votes in favor of the resolution 2 against china and russia an every other member of the u.n. security council abstained from this vote which sought to extend the iranian arms embargo indefinitely the united states in an attempt to get more support excuse me and force the russians and chinese to use their veto reduced the length of this resolution from 7 pages down to 4 paragraphs they were calling for just a straig

theo way or u.n. security council 2031 signatory still has the snap back measure under paragraph 11 but based on the fact that these violations a place prior to 2018 the korean left the deal this is the thing how can the united states dumond's. changes or the snap back as they call it on a deal which it's no longer a possible. well the reality is that the events that took place bear in mind that the reason the united states hadn't you know decided to leave the j.c. p.o. a in 2018 is because they feel very strongly that there's been violations committed by iran and the parameters for and if the you know it's very much like the i.n.f. treaty if the you know other party was not going to hear to the program then what was the point remaining him play. do you think that these other countries the likes of germany france and the u.k. of one eye on november and are actually thinking well we need to actually see what happens in u.s. politics given that joe biden has talked about rejoining the disappear way yes

positions whether it be to u.n. position both which are crucial in libya but if you don't have any consistency in those things and the best example of this is that there were actors that were sanctioned and condemned them and you know and brought to justice and so to speak. in september of 2018 when they attacked. tripoli in fact in the piece we're going to tell it but after that it's wonderful to be true to not only was ignored and was it was a massive sense of the middle east or later turns out that it was going to be owning up to her and i would like to get to our other guests as well it seems to me that you are actually in agreement in many ways with jonathan winer in d.c. you want to avoid this idea that the tensions are frozen and that people have these spheres of influence which won't bring about a lost and less allouni i just want to get your thoughts on this do you think the united nations all there for the people to negotiate a long term lost in peace. i mean that's the monday and that's what they should b

says it will seek to trigger a return of all u.n. sanctions on iran in the coming days al-jazeera as questions to me has more now from the united nations headquarters in new york catch here is that the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal 2 years ago and so members of the council are arguing particularly russia and china that the united states doesn't have standing to make such a claim because it withdrew from the deal unilaterally it can't now come back and claim to invoke part of that so there's no clear legal mechanism to settle this dispute in the council if the united states decides to go forward in that way this could be really. to malta was time for the security council and there is no clear mechanism for resolving the dispute well this comes as the u.s. says it seized iranian fuel headed to venezuela it claims the cargo one for tank has amounts to more than a 1000000 barrels of petrol its biggest ever seizure iran's denied any connection with the shipment both iran and venezuela under u.s. sanctions. tens of thousands

the u.n. security council resolution in the near future where we will offer to extend this. this was one of the central failings of the jcpoa was to have only a five-year ban on the iranian capacity to purchase weapons systems to build out air defense systems to protect a nuclear program should they continue down that path but also to sell weapons around the world and become again as they were before one of the world's largest arms dealers. we're going to do everything we can. we believe we have the capacity to do this at the united nations. we hope the u.n. counsel will conclude extending this arms embargo is the right thing. in the event they don't we're going to use every tool we have on our fingerprints. we think it decreases stability in the middle east. we think that would threaten israel. >> onto religious freedom sam brownback for religious freedom recently wrote humanity is why religious freedom will always win out against government and nonstate actors seeking to suppress and control
