u.s. national security advisor john bolton people that leaders into iran blame for pushing the united states towards conflict with iran are let's go live now to washington our correspondent there is alan fischer and so allan all the denials about this meeting then and what it could signify the meeting between dianne feinstein and everything iranian foreign minister but it does raise the possibility of there being at least some sort of back channel of negotiations taking place between the iranians and americans on certain levels. well no i think that's too big a leap to take and certainly you'd be in danger of breaking american law if you were doing that sort of thing it's not unusual for american politicians from both parties to go and meet diplomats from other countries slightly unusual for this is the iranian foreign minister certainly dianne feinstein's office is seeing that they told the state department before this happened the discussed at that point and u.s. relations know this meeting happened more than 3 or 4 weeks ago so things have changed between around in the u.s. since then the

u.s. national security advisor john bolton said it is not a coup attempt in venezuela as the u.s. supports quide but how much weight do you think those words carry and how legitimate is it. they carry no weight the u.s. also supported general pivot shit in chile this the u.s. supports coup d'etat is all the time this is another example that one has no power under the constitution of venezuela the fact the u.s. recognized them recognizes him is of no import the u.s. recognizes him because he has already agreed to privatizing venezuela's oil in the interest of u.s. companies that's why the u.s. recognizes him and that does not make him with them it this is an unfolding coup that the u.s. wants to push forward and we have to remember by the way the u.s. supported the coup in two thousand and two against hugo chavez and we're reluctant to call it a coup back there the fact that the u.s. wants to use semantics to cover up what it's doing it doesn't change the fact that this is a coup gabrielle is it a coup is it not a coup. you know this is very important for the for context purposes t

u.s. national security advisor john bolton just said yesterday when he claimed that naval mines almost certainly from iran are to blame for the damage to those tankers now on that point iran's foreign secretary has called that ridiculous and the country has consistently denied involvement in the attacks now the reason that pompei a may have made these statements today is he is about to visit with u.s. allies in europe who are caught in the middle of this escalation between us and iran the u.s. has the sanctions against buying iranian oil while the iran is threatening to restart its nuclear program if those countries in europe do not help it get out from under these u.s. sanctions so pointing the fingers now directly at iran for the oil tanker attack now maybe setting the tone for these talks between palm pale and the u.s. allies in europe a miser there seems to be some mixed messages coming from washington only u.s. strategy towards iran what is president been seeing. well that's right the latest comments from president trump when he was visiting japan was that he was open to renegotiating this
