foreign minister, yas yasmin vossoughian has a question for you, mr. that president trump said he would meet with president rouhani with no preconditions involved should be meeting with him? >> well, the president in making that declaration, i'm sure, has the best interests of the region at heart. and is continuing to work towards the stability, security and maintaining the peace in the region. whether that meet will go materialize or not remains to be seen. the initial reactions of the iranians was not forthcoming. we believe that discussions, negotiations, communication can always lead to a greater understanding. and agreements related how best to deal with the challenges and the threats of the region. >> i just want to talk to you about your human rights record in your country, mr. foreign minister. the u.s. real lease $195 million in military aid making that decision to the end of july. we know that money has been withheld because of your human rights record. human rights watch says your ghost continues to preside over the worst human rights crisis
