by saying that you're wrong does not rule out the possibility of any negotiations with the united states iran has said if the united states returns to the nuclear deal and compensates its commitments under the nuclear deal and removes the sanctions that are supposed to be gone that the nuclear deal in that condition iran by the engage in talks with the americans are not ready for the absolutely and the americans say that they will be you know or you know more i'm sure you. know something everything they don't want to be doing so don't you think that perhaps iran and the united states. are behaving towards each other in pretty much the same. matter applying the tactic of maximum pressure asking for i'm realizing both things don't you think that in turn in certain terms you have very similar ok so who thought that you brought the you know america's vist through from the nuclear deal iran waited for over a year to see that the other parties and members of the nuclear deal to complain say that withdrawal what happened nothing. so now iran wants to gradually again in order to save the nuclear deal

namely, middle east policy, including towards iran, the damaging policy which the united states is adoptingatlantic disagreement over how best to contain iran's nuclear programme has been highlighted again this evening. the leaders of britain, france and germany have appealed jointly to both the united states and iran to stop the escalation of tensions activism dialogue. james is in the studio now with me. what is the significance of thisjoint appeal? with me. what is the significance of this joint appeal? it is very important, because i think it points out the level of division between europe and the united states over the iran policy. but it also of course point out the strong desire among european leaders to try and get people back into dialogue and wind this crisis down, not up. i will read you a key sentence... we are concerned by the risk, say theresa may, emmanuel macron and angela merkel. we are concerned about the risk that the nuclear agreement will further unravel under the strain of science and imposed by the strain of science and imposed by the united states and following iran'

president donald trump says the united states should not pay for this that it should be an international military force but that does present the potential for conflict with iran after all it was only weeks ago when the united states almost launched an air strike on iran that's according to president trump who says we were within 10 minutes of a conflict in that region meanwhile brian hooke the u.s. special representative for iran policy spoke to al jazeera this is what he had to say about sanctions we have taken iran to new lows in revenue and they're feeling it and they're hurting and their proxies are hurting and we want to deny this regime the revenue that it needs to export revolution to run an expansionist foreign policy that drives a lot of the sectarian violence we see in the middle east so the united states position has not softened meanwhile iran has announced it is violating the nuclear enrichment levels that it agreed to and that multinational agreement from which the u.s. has pulled out so that standoff intensifies and the potential for conflict only increases . to go live now to the iranian capital tehran so door says we as we mentioned top advis

how dangerous the situation really is this all comes on the heels of the nuclear deal with iran the united states withdrew from this deal in order to get iran back to the negotiating table to avoid iran having a nuclear bomb. and then and in a result in addition to that heightening economic sanctions which the foreign minister of iran shots in new york just a couple days ago called economic terrorism so the big fear of is that both countries will be running into a war that none of them really wants or corresponded oversell with on the story forged in washington tonight all over thank you. well tonight perhaps even trump thinks he's gone too far he's told reporters that he's not happy with the ugly chanting at a campaign rally in north carolina from yesterday and that he disagrees with it trump repeated his attack on a group of democratic congresswoman at the rally women that he is branded as unpatriotic and that's when the chanting started echoing racist tweets by trump posted earlier this week but in the cold light of the next day the u.s. leader tried to distance himself from what happened. it

iran. at the state department told me earlier today there is no direct communication meaning that everything that iran and the united states say to each other is done publicly for example by the president here in the east room of the white house. just a short while ago all by divides at joe what's a reef the iranian foreign minister when he also speaks publicly or speaks to the press so this is a way of provoking each other in a way because the last incident was less than a month ago after all. that was on the twentieth of june that's when at eightht u. . drone -- was shot down by iranian forces b because they sy it floww it flew in iranian *-*- space now at that moment less than a month ago the two countries got awfully close to a military confrontation because us president donald trump was ready to take military action. against iran at that time it was only because of a change of heart a decision by the president not to intervene militarily that this. possible war as to what's the reef the iranian foreign minister would call it didn't happen inn thehe end these kindf provocations are covered this much and i'll dis

talking about the old would march of a totalitarian world order led by the united states deep division in the room pressure still on iranquestionable what the united states has achieved by this. china indiana. saddam has begun restoring internet access to mobile phones following a court order the telecoms companies to end a week's long blackouts services were cut last month after more than $100.00 people were killed by government forces during a peaceful sit in while the resumption of services means civilians are now able to find out more about what happened how taylor has had a young reports. thank you for the 1st time in more than a month these type of images are be shared through mobile phone. they show the aftermath of sudan's military crackdown on protesters during a peaceful sit in in khartoum more than 100 people were killed by sudan's military joint on june 3rd was much of the violence was recorded on cell phone videos internet services were cut shortly after on the orders of sudan's transitional military council. lawyer adela seem hazan filed a lawsuit requesting the internet be restored the court agreed servic

or iran not being a normal country. the united states' behavior has been in the wrong direction. it's not been normal. that's the reason we're in this pickle. the disparity of power between the united states and iran is immense. and iran is retaliating for the misdeeds inflicted on them as they see them, with some justification, using the power they have. that involves taking liberties with international law, which, of course, is wrong. this is a political situation, which has to be addressed politically, through negotiations. first, defusing the maritime crisis. then, moving on to resume the nuclear de-escalation talks, which were led a fortnight ago by president macron. and if we get through those two stages and have still got a jcpoa in force, moving on to dealing with the long-term strategic questions that vexed the united states and all of the states in the region, including iran. >> and you've been ambassador to iran. you understand iran more than most. we know that hard liners are taking these positions that we've seen. we've seen

left the negotiation table they have been there it's the united states that a got out of the know from the negotiating table and try to bring iran on its own terms to another negotiating tables so this is clear the united states violated the deal then imposed the sanctions that were lifted as part of the deal and then forced others to you know abide by those sanctions and now is in a ratcheting up the pressure the maximum pressure and i'm in the the point that your guest from washington brought up that everybody's boxed in i think that's correct but the party that is suffering is iran it's not the e.u. it's not the united states so iran sees the way that the e.u. is dealing with u.s. sanctions as. as a violation of it of its own commitment within the deal so it's basically it's not working against the e.u. it's basically doing what the e.u. and the united states is doing that they basically got back from their commitments they got back to the 1st square where the negotiations started and led to the j.c. a and iran basically is i think is heading back as well to the 1st where to be equal i mean to deal with them on equal footing

the un's atomic energy agency called by the united states iran's envoy gave an interview to the german newspaper confirming that iran's actions. in upscaling its enrichment activities were in response to the failure to meet commitments by the other. countries signatory to the j c p o all of this could be reversed in an hour the envoy said if only they meet their commitments with that's not the sort of rapprochement the united states is looking for in calling this meeting the u.s. would like nothing more than for the i.a.e.a. to declare iran in full breach of the deal that's unlikely to happen at this meeting there is on the one hand the european powers the so-called eat 3 britain france and the united kingdom still fighting for what remains of this deal they're not ready to trigger the dispute mechanism under the deal that could lead to a finding of full breach the the consensus seems to be that these enrichment activities are still fairly marginal in terms of the deal and on the other hand other signatories of course russia and china are also in the room where they tend to take the vi

indicate any form of noncompliance by iran before the united states unilaterally withdrew from the deal last year now the us i'm sure would like nothing more than for the i.a.e.a. with one voice to declare iran in full breach of the deal now the us ambassador jackie walcott in a statement calling for this meeting called on the international community to hold iran's regime accountable but diplomats are briefing that it is unclear what this meeting can hope to achieve on the one hand you've got the european powers signatory to the j c p o 8 britain france and germany he 3 they're known as along with the e.u. who are clearly not ready to trigger the full dispute resolution mechanism under the deal these increases in richmond by iran are considered fairly marginal that called for a joint commission of the parties instead with the hope of deescalating tensions remember they're trying to keep the deal alive and on the other hand you've got russia and china also signatories to the deal also members of the i.a.e.a. who tend to take iran's view on this that their response is a legitimate one in

the last thing they want is open hostilities between iran and the united states or western countries. on the other hand, they also feel that iran has been very poorly treated. after all, the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal and reposed sanctions while iran was in full compliae, and we were not seeing these sorts of incidents on the persian gulf. nada: barbara slavin, thank you so much for joining us. barbara: y're welcome. for months, president trump has been fighting to get a contentious citizenship question added to the 2020 census. but after legal setbacks, he may be ready to back down. but he will take executive action to get the information by other mean the president is speaking out at the rose garden.

. >>> the rising tension between the united states and iran continues, and it's the significant deadline. but fox news correspondent has the story tonight from jerusalem. >> amid tensions between the united states and iran, the deadline laid out by the iranian for breaching their stockpile limit is just ten days away. this comes after a failed attempt this week by the remaining parties on the iran nuclear deal. a spokesperson for iran's will uranium enrichment breaking the record of 6.7% and the 300 kilogram laid out in the nuclear deal. the trump administration continues to sanction the iranian regime in an effort to discourage their nuclear production and provocative military action. earlier in the week iran's supreme leader and eight revolutionary guard commanders were sanctioned by the administration after a launch shot down a u.s. drone earlier this month. president trump said he was in no rush to deal with iran. british prime minister, theresa may, also attended the senate and expressed a need for diplomacy. it's been two weeks since iran or proxies have carried out an attack in th

iran. the idea that u.k.'s waning power doing the bidding of the united states is one that is routinely routinely thrown a london and to an extent i can understand why it is but i think recently what we've seen is that the british tensions with iran independent of the united states really really escalated following the seizure of the tankers that your package earlier was talking about and that draws on longstanding tensions between the u.k. and iran that are that are independent of the united states dating back to the time of persia or an oil in persia so there's a complex there's a complexity to all of this historical complexity and a more contemporary complexity independent of the united states meanwhile around foreign minister has been speaking that's missing of the nonaligned movement in caracas he accused the u.s. governments of using sanctions to undermine many countries including iran basically non us u.s. government run using a term in other g. that has lost one partner who says economic pearl was a pure and simple we need to be good again and again we know not negotiate with perps. they do not negotiate

looked at their at their you know bottom lines and said it is not worth it to stay in iran under threat of the united states so you're a pest and we tried to put in place the mechanisms to protect iran but for example brant at the moment sanctions have reduced iran's oil exports to about 400000 barrels a day iran says it needs 1500000000 to break even it's very deeply in debt and i can't see how europe can can do enough can can do it have enough boost to the economic khana me to the to the economy of iran to really bring it back to an even level and tonight we're still talking about the e.u. europe as the in a position where it wants to say this deal that it wants to help iran when do we reach the place that europe sees iran violating this deal and then says enough is enough we want to reimpose sanctions on iran. i think the e.u. has been very patient and will continue to be very patient on this deal it's not only because it very much worries that there isn't going to be any broader deal like the united states talks about that will take the nuclear components into account and again stop iran from from enric

the united states says iran will not gain a nuclear weapon and has even threatened it with more sanctions and greater isolation this is after attack iran announced it would enrich uranium to levels greater than agreed as part of the 2015 nuclear deal until now iran has kept the maximum level of uranium purity let's call it at 3.7 percent which is enough to make electricity uranium only becomes nuclear bomb grade material if it goes up to 90 percent enrichment and the iranians deny wanting nuclear weapons at all even so it. we reducing compliance with the deal every 2 months unless other signatories work to stop us sanctions the deal does have a dispute resolution mechanism in france says that won't be triggered at least for now but if the dispute can't be resolved the new and sanctions could follow reaction to this coming up in a moment let's start with this report there from the internet. it is the boldest step iran has taken so far in its choreographed campaign to reduce compliance with a 2015 nuclear deal on sunday morning it announced it would start enriching uranium to higher levels

finally, the final audience is probably the united states. it is iraning every 60 days we're going to do something, we're not going away. we're not going to lie down and let you kick us. we're going to push back. it is that dynamic, action reaction that we're looking at for the next several months. mike: president trump thought long and hard about a military response after the iranians shot down a u.s. navy drone, what are your concerns about a possible military strike by the u.s. at some point? >> well, we talked about this. i am concerned. and i'm more concerned after what happened this past week. the president went on tv and said listen -- he was asked about an attack on iran. he said look, it is not boots on the ground. it is going to be air power, you know, airstrikes, missiles, bombs, and that will be easy and i don't need an exit strategy. that's what he said at a meeting with reporters. i think that misunderstands the situation. if you strike iran's nuclear facilities, their most likely response will be to wake up the next day and say oh, yeah?

sanctions, it could try to create a better negotiation platform if it is going to sit down with the united states. iransons to do this but i think unfortunately if iran is not willing to negotiate with the united states, it is probably headed towards to snap back sanctions by the eu and it continues down this path. it does not mean it will be military action. i don't think this is about military action at all. i don't think iran is risking it. it is risking much greater sanctions if it continues down this path. >> how much capabilities does iran has to get to nuclear weapon. can they do it with the stuff they got? >> yes, unfortunately, another chi chilling fact that emerged recently in teheran. they seized it in early 2018 and my institute studies significant portions of those documents over the last year and iran has a much more advance nuclear weapon program that was known at the time it was negotiated and it can reconstitute that effort and maintaining that carchive. the united states can argue that the iran is violating jpoa. it means that iran can build nuclear weapons and it knows how to enrich

president donald trump says the united states should not pay for this that it should be an international military force but that does present the potential for conflict with iran after all it was only weeks ago when the united states almost launched an air strike on iran that's according to president trump who says we were within 10 minutes of a conflict in that region meanwhile brian hook the u.s. special representative for iran policy spoke to al jazeera this is what he had to say about sanctions we have taken iran to new lows in revenue and they're feeling it and they're hurting and their proxies are hurting and we want to deny this regime the revenue that it needs to export revolution to run an expansionist foreign policy that drives a lot of the sectarian violence we see in the middle east so the united states position has not softened meanwhile iran has announced it is violating the nuclear enrichment levels that it agreed to and that multinational agreement from which the u.s. has pulled out so that standoff intensifies and the potential for conflict only increases in the french president among the top diplomatic adviser is in 10 romm e.u. countries tha

exercised about the failure of what he sees as the international community outside of the united states to do enough to help iran chinese, japanese, all of them don't allow the united states to bully them into abiding by these decisions, will the us really go to destroy the global economy, to put out sanctions on all of them? it is a good rhetorical point, but it doesn't work that way. it's about what would happen to the individual entities — the chinese company which wants to trade with iran but also has dollar trades. a russian company in the same position. so the possibility the united states would not propose sanctions against the other five world powers involved — it doesn't have to. i am looking at the analysis of matthew bey, who studies the iranian economy for stratfor consultancy. he said the level of financial pain is that the iranians are going now face as a result of the toughening us sanctions is unprecedented. i do not think, he says, we can rule out a humanitarian crisis. no, i think that's absolutely right. just before the sanctions were imposed, iran was exporting about 2.5 million barrels of oi

japanese—registered oil tankers which you have said iran had nothing to do with, the attacks on those tankers. but the suspicion is by the united stateskingdom and others that iran was involved. and we've also seen the recent tensions between britain and iran over the seizure of grace 1, your vessel, what do you think the possibility of you stumbling into an accidental war in the gulf are? well, again, it's the persian gulf because it's next to our borders. it's a body of water that iran has protected, iran has maintained the security of freedom of navigation in the persian gulf and the strait of hormuz for millennia and we will continue to do that. we are a major power in that region. those who have come to our region have not, those who have come to the persian gulf and brought their naval vessels to the persian gulf are not helping secure this body of waters. what do you think is the possibility or the likelihood of stumbling into some conflict? of course there is. of course there is a possibility of an accident but we cannot leave our own neighbourhood. those outside have to decide why are they in that neighbourhood and whether th

iran it has asked that if the interest of iran are ignored then there can be a new regional stability and also this maximum pressure being pushed by the united states on iran is not beneficial for anyone so basically russia has gone from this strong ally but the other hand there are some reports about some cracks between the 2 countries especially on their cooperation in syria in recent weeks of course the interests of russia and iran a very different in syria for russia for woods and it's more putting pressure and influence on the middle east and increasing its role there for iran it's a very different political battle also because the relationship with neighboring countries like israel is very different russia has very good relations with israel and increasingly so so while russia is confirming its support for iran it's not carved in stone that this coalition will hold on forever turkey's foreign ministry is rejecting statements by greek and european union officials who said turkish drilling for gas and oil around cyprus is illegitimate the u.s. state department says turkey is being provocative by sending 2 ships to explore off the coast of the p

iran's participation would provoke negative reactions from the western countries especially the united states in terms of kind of military action against syria or something like that and another reason is that iran those last ones to for world war 2 sensitivities because they are working with each other in terms of circumventing do you reconcile actions against iraq. others say iran is sending a message to its russian allies who have not stopped israeli strikes against iranian targets in syria whatever the reason the syrian government is struggling and iran is proving its value in the war effort is not the only active product line i still remains a threat in central syria major problem. even so we. talk about that. basically every day if there is a. syrian president bashar assad has restored control over more than 60 percent of the country but his army is exhausted overstretched and it seems too weak to recapture remaining rebel held areas without the help of iranian backed militias many of the fighters on the frontline fighting on behalf of the regime have been recruited forcefully from coun

remains open to talks with iran but that the united statesnt trump recently warned that tehran had better be careful. we have team fox coverage. rich edson from the state department. first trey yingst from the mideast newsroom. >> that's right, iran has surpassed the uranium enrichment threshold laid out in the 2015 nuclear deal another country is threatening or provocative action. a running media today reporting that tehran is now enriching uranium at 4.5%, the limit the nuclear deal is 3.67%. this brings the country closer to weapons grade material. speaking today in tehran, the spokesman for iran's atomic energy department said iran could increase the number of centrifuges that has or reinstall other nuclear equipment, both breaches of the agreement. the spokesman added that iran has options to push enrichment level higher as the terms of the deal continue to be broken. >> translator: yes, 20% is an option. even higher than that is an option. these are all options. at the appropriate time. today the country needs something sawyer not wanti
