have played in that protests the millions or billions of dollars spent with that involvement in yemen or lebanon. with the question if that is a backlash or perhaps those reforms inside saudi arabia to cause them to look critically how repress women continue for example. >> but that foreign policy abroad plays in the backlash. but elsewhere in the middle east to make iran great again. >> but also remember what iran is doing now is very similar to the shaw's policy before the revolution. and that which was promoted in order to keep the enemy away from your borders and have alliances and that is why israel had good relations. in order to contain the surrounding areas. and also iran intervened with other countries. . . . . more people are unemployed. they knew that have, one out of 70 lives under the poverty line. when they see that iranians are helping the lebanese whose houses were destroyed by israel, it just creates a resentment. it just creates a resentment of their own government, but also in what is happening and also they look at the more sophisticated argument of what is happening in syria

whether that be the implementation of resolution twenty two thirty one or discussions on actions pertaining to lebanon syria yemen or iraq. in this commentary most our role indeed our responsibility is to do all that we can to find a solution to the flashpoints in the quite seal's in the middle east. and it is in that understanding. that we must commit to a fully up holding the nuclear agreement with iran on the joint command so plan of action i j c p o m and we must also commit to fully promoting its implementation to the lesson with this was the approach that enjoyed consensus during the council's meeting on the nineteenth of december last year the letter said nuclear agreement with iran concerns each and every one of us on the matter at hand is to ensure that it is rigorously implemented with the agreement is one of the cornerstones of stability of the region of the middle east as a whole to lose this hard one ground to which the agreement would be a major setback not just for the region for the region but also for the entire international community and for the nonproliferation regime of the un the consequence

whether it is the lebanon or iraq or yemen. yes.lled into all of these losses that people of the region suffered. you are right in that saudi arabia can be a counterweight, but they are not alone. many people want to say that as well. power in an area which is already suffering from huge instability, that is not going to lead to anywhere other than making it more unstable than it already is. any prediction about the middle east, there is so much emerging, so much embryonic situations. what kind of iraq are we going to see at the end of isis? what kind of syria will emerge? nobody has an answer. projecting military power into this cauldron is futile. to your point about syria... still huge activity on the border in turkey. huge. the continued flow of refugees, one of the pressing things is that you see very few people in europe talk about the refugee issue beyond saying this was a crisis that came to europe we have to push back. reality is that we have heard of a family of nine syrians freezing to death in lebanon because they've had

whether that is put to 231 or actions pertaining to lebanon, syria, yemen. our role is to do all that we can to find a solution to the flashpoint in the crisis in the middle east. that weat understanding must commit to fully upholding the nuclear agreement with iran. fullyt also commit to promoting its implementation. this is the approach that enjoyed consensus to the council's meeting of last year. the said nuclear agreement concerns each and every one of us. and the laster of hand is to ensure is rigorously implemented. the agreement was one of the cornerstones of stability in the region and the middle east. to lose this hard-won ground would be a major setback not just for the region, but for us the entire international community, and for the non-proliferation regime. under consequences -- and the consequences and fallout may be heavy. we must also pursue a realistic and robusta -- and robust dialogue. risksure it doesn't pose a of regional instability. engage in the discussion with iran so that with terror and we can address the concern pertaining to the

being inspired or following donald trump mr whaley the protesters also have been very critical of the iranians intervention in regional affairs particular places like yemen syria and lebanon saying enough is enough we don't care about syria we care about our own selves the protests are they likely to put more pressure on the iranian government to. further in intervene of those places i think what's important about the slogan is the fact that the government stablish with the veteran has failed to convince its own people that it is for foreign policy was going and that i that action that slogan those confirm that you know the media with what was broadcast in through the media in iran what's been said by officials what's been publicized that iran has presence in syria or in iraq and m. and is in favor of iran is of protecting iran in reality was not really convincing to the iranians iranians see on those we're seeing on those the mistaken that we need you to take care of us though basically all of the was being said well not really because has not been convincing to the people the second point i think in that context we have to mention that again the stablish meant did not c

about how our government, our relatives, can't eat or can't pay for their gasoline to get to work, meanwhile we're conducting wars in what, yemen, lebanon, syria. they don't like it. >> right. and just to be clear here, i mean, unemployment is a big issue. 13% overall. that's the headline number. the perhaps more telling number as my producer points out to me is almost 30% youth unemployment. you've got a lot of young people on the streets leading this protests? >> a lot of young people who have been hearing these complaints or promises for years and not seeing results and not seeing a way out. the backlash against them will come, though, when these protests ebb because one of the things that you'll see a lot of people in the crowd and some of the video that's been smuggled out are videoing each other. some of those people are state security. they will be watching for the ring leaders and in the weeks and months to come, those people will be taken away for questioning to make sure they never protest again. >> again, a fifth day of protest is under way right now across iran. kimberly, thank you for the analysis on both fronts. >>> back t

raised about the millions or even billions of dollars spent by iran on the citing basically the civil war next door in syria. its involvement in yemen. its involvement in lebanon. the question whether this is a backlash to this, number one. number two, perhaps the reforms inside of saudi arabia, some people have suggested have caused iranians to look critically at their own country when it comes to how repressed women continue to be, for example. so i'm curious, what both of you think about the role that the iranian foreign policy is, adventurism abroad, played in the backlash at home. people spending all the money elsewhere in the middle east. it sort of made iran great again. >> one of the main slowing -- slogans in every city not gaza, lebanon, to i dedicate myself to die for iran. what we have to remember what iran is doing now is similar to the shah's policy before the revolution which was very similar to the israeli foreign policy which was promoted by ben-gurion, that you have to support and have good relations with other states in order to keep the enemy away from your borders and you have to take the, you have to have alliances with other states and w

or to live apart in peace, which may be more realistic. >> the middle east is aflame. there are civil wars in libya and yemen and syria and arguably in lebanon and iraq and afghanistan, in turkey, there is a near civil war, sinai has something close to a civil war, anarchy, problems all over. it is remarkable that we're still talking about a problem that is 70 or 100 years old when there's so much going on, when -- i mean, think of the syrian refugees. half of the syrian population, 22 million, has been displaced internally or become refugees outside the country. huge numbers. far beyond the numbers of palestinians, which have 600,000 back in 1949. and this is not 1949. this is 2018. so given this fact, given the iranian rampage of aggression, given the fact that turkey has become close to a rogue state, given the dramatic developments taking place in saudi arabia where i think mohamed bin salman is undertaking a transformation, wishes to undertake a transformation as deep as the ottoturk period in turkey, given all that's going on, i would say let's outsource the palestinian issue to the israelis, let them take care of it, and let's focus o
