itself which everyone is dealing with on the other hand iran's adversaries countries like saudi review have been badly damaged the united states its economic capacity and therefore relatively speaking iran's position in the region is and its allies by extension is much greater than before ok mohammed thank you for that jill you want to come in that yeah i think that's completely inaccurate and dangerous to say that iran has not been impacted by the coronavirus iran has over 100000 cases according to the world. helped organise thousands died many iranian americans met met many many iranian americans here are very deeply concerned about their family members in iran and iran has also been seen as the source of the virus in parts of europe so we need to have that debate i'm not i'm not going i'm not going to debate whether or not iran. regional perspective right now as a result of the saudi move has gained a bit of an advantage but coronavirus not something we should be playing politics with let's go to mexico it was windy here in doha will the relationship come back not given whatever washington does not given whatever the crown

from a shortage of fuel in their country among other things so it's asked iran to try and help them out but then the united states stepped in and warned iran that if it sent. shipments of all the venezuela the united states would stop them and turn them around see iran went ahead and kept its promise to about as well anyway and sent 5 tankers to caracas which arrived there sometime this week centrally ignoring the u.s. threat so what's going on joining us now to talk about this are some well moncada is venezuela's ambassador to the united nations he's good enough to join us mr ambassador thank you sir for joining us thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule maybe we start with this do you have any sense of what the u.s. will do given that they've made this threat and are you worried. it's my worry because the tracy party talks are the top of the garbage thing in the united states and they are being just parking being actually. i.c.c. 18 our economy you see in some of the use of military force really miss it he said the last made the actually a mess not a force that is. tackling this one and i mean the

iran has every legitimate right to call on the international community including europe to pressure the united states to lift the inhuman sanctions at a time iran is fighting the spread of coraline us so. on the one side iran has the legitimate right to ask for the lifting of sanctions and if the u.s. doesn't show any willingness to do so which it has not then reveals how cruel the united states is treating iran and it has no disregard for human life at the same time iran is not waiting for the u.s. to lift sanctions that has taken. major efforts to control and spread and slow down the spread of the spread of coron of virus and generally speaking it has been around the response has been acceptable when you compare iran's response to cordon of iris with with that of the united states and europe so iran has not been waiting for the lifting of sanctions while it has pushed for that because it is entirely inhuman and against all international law to impose economic sanctions and use economy as and u.s. even medicine as a as an instrument to achieve foreign policy goals ok iran must we must draw our conve
