the voice of the voiceless, press tv. hello and welcome to press tv spotlight, i'm marza hashimi, thanks so much for being with us, well iran will never submit to hegemonic demands of depriving the country of its rights, that's according to foreign minister abosadok chi, now this as the collective west.

continue to accuse iran of not abiding by its nuclear commitments, there's much irony in all of this, as of course it was a united states, which left the 2015 nuclear agreement with iran, and it was the europeans which did not abide by their part of that same agreement, and it was iran which stayed on with the agreement even after the us left it, so what is all this really about? stay with us as we take a look at all of this on the spotlight, like to welcome my guests to the programath author and west asia expert out of belfast and ali hammi writer and political analys out of south lebanon. welcome both the view to the program. let's start it off with sab and belfast and sab that the us.

said that iran cannot have a nuclear enrichment program, now iran's foreign minister has said that iranian people will not accept halting enrichment, and has reiterated that an integral part of the islamic republic's foreign policy is the rejection of foreign domination, your thoughts on this, and and do you think us officials really think that iran would stop enriching uranium? hello to you and to your guests and your audience, you see uh today uh we notice the united statess of america is back to what we call the realism politics from the new liberalism before which is dominated the globe and in that kind today the international hierarchical power doesn't exist, there is no kind of even in international bodies who can go and support weaker nation and deny any rogue state or...

a superpower of imposing its higomony on the international arena and that's what iran is is alluding to lately, so today any power, any country want to exist, it's need to maxsimize its own powers and defense capacity and its military assets, so at least it can defend itself and defend its people, iran legitimate. titled self-defense is not negotiable in here, so that's why iran was when started negotiating about the the the nuclear program is rejected the demands of the of the americans of dismantling the ballistic and cruise and hypersonic missile system and iran said it's only the talks and here have to focus on two main issues, the nuclear program and

lifting the sanctions, so renouncing the the the foreign domination here, it's it's a must and it's it's it's a clear indication, iran understand what the west is is after, the west in here, i can put it after with all of this negotiation and and even when they heard long ago the leader of the islamic revolution, issued the... which a religious decree clearly prohibits islamic, the islamic republic of iran of seeking any nuclear weapons, so that's that's kind of statements, they reject, they don't want to to let iran be able to develop itself and to be sovereign and to be able to compete with neighboring countries, okay, stay with me, sab, stay with me, sab, let me get ali in on this conversation, i mean.

why would the us have such expectations when it is iran's international right to be able to enrich uranium? thanks for having me with you and... and greetings to you and to your guest. i would like to start saying that this personal and what's going on is by the denial and cancelling on 2018 by donald trump, which was reached as agreement in 2015 by the democratic party and especially obama administration, and then donald trump came to cancel the whole agreements and to impose more sanctions. against the islamic republic of iran, now he's going back to the same agreement, he's trying to do it to impose his way in this agreement to say that he is reaching an agreement with iran which was not done right by biden or by obama's

administration and especially the whole democratic party was wrong by imposing such agreement. on the usa and iran at the same at that time, now we are seeing that the same, the same exact terms and the same exact conditions he's trying to do with high ceilings of conditions, this is usually what happen in any negotiations, the americans way is trying to to go as far as they can, but this is not will not pass. through the iranian diplomacy, we know that, i know the american knows and the iranian knows also that the iranian is prohibited for them to produce nuclear weapon, and they are trying to say that we continue our negotiations in case iran

will not produce any nuclear warhead, so it means that we agree up to now, that there will be no nuclear weapons or bombs in iran, then they move to another stage, they trying to say, okay, this is we agree on, and we know that you don't have any program for having any nuclear weapon, but what about the percentage of reachment of uranium, and why you have to do it inside iran, while you can buy it from outside, this is the iranian will not, under understand to accept and they will continue in their rejections to such conditions, because because it's not at the at all means in any way logic, for what you want us to do is to

not to have nuclear weapon, who will not have nuclear weapon, it's religious in religious way, in our constitution it's prohibited to have such... uh program, i'm talking about weapon program or military program for in our nuclear program, so it means now i think this this negotiation is a need for the american at the same level as the iranian needs to have such agreements will reach will be reached at the at the end. okay, well sab, when we look at the claim. against iran and we go back to the early 2000s and we've had entities and countries that have made claims against iran's peaceful nuclear program, do you find it a bit ironic that it's the same countries or entities like the israeli regime that

actually possess nuclear weapons themselves? it's not just that, thank you for the question, they declassified documents about the assassination. of president jf kennedy indicates it clearly that the zianist entity carried out the assassination since kennedy demanded from bangorion to open their program activities and research center to the international community to be investigated and warned from having any nuclear weapons at the time the latters exchange. between kennedy and bengorian has been out in the public domain for a long time, but the the this new refresh and declassified information is out to the public lately by the trump administration themselves indicate that the same forces

who have over 240 nuclear head demanding to destroy the iranian nuclear weapons according to the uh what they call it the model, the libian model, which they dismantled the whole program in in libya and took it with even the not some bolts outside of libya, that shows. "we are dealing with hagonical powers like the united states of america and its imperialist arms in the region, the zionist or the west europeans who are parking right now heavy in the area, they wanted to take iran to the international what they call united nations security council to to to activate this snapback kind mechanism of putting all the the..." the the sanctions been previously in 2015 being hold

stopped, so this hypocracy of all of them, none of them is committing itself to the noneblable program, the western europeans having massive arsenals of the nuclear powers, all of that is part of a program to uh to contain iran and to reach a major goal at the end, which i believe... myself is going to be what they call a change regime change, they want to be able to dismantle the achievement of the islamic revolution of iran to control the country, to load the country, to install a regime in there within the policy of the saying we change the face of the middle east, which is netanyahu keep bragging about as he says claiming he is the one who dismantled the assad regime and and and and so we are what's happening in the negotiation room is something and what happening on the ground is something else, we

can see the western allies from germany, france, britain and as well design entity and the us want to impose the their well, we know the iran said the nuclear energy is an unayable right for the iranian people, even the iranian president said to an arabic media, i think it's omani media, tv, iran will not relinquish its nuclear rights under any circumstances, so iran rejected all along the demands of the united states of america dismentaling it's a nuclear facilities and stop the r enrichment above 3%, and iran say there is so many countries around the world have their program civil programs in their country. with enrichment as well program in their country, why iran cannot have the same and the americans were asking uh the

iran to hand over 276 kilograms of 60% in rich uranium before, and the iia came to us on the 17th of may, he said iran ammens over four over 400 kilograms, 408 i think kilograms of uranium enrich up to. 60% and it's moving a closer to the 90% thrish hold needed for weapons a great material, all of that is like trying to corner iran, and the this is where ar he said the statement that you should not carry enrichment in in the country in itself is a political domination and that iran shouldn't you know be a part of that political game, iran shouldn't

have should shouldn't, we have as he said enrichment program, this is absolutely unacceptable to the iranian people, they should have their own program of rich in uranium, and that's i believe myself, all of that is part of the the stock pile, accumulating that stock pile is of reaching kind of utility to be deployed with the iranians in negotiation with the united states of america, since the iranian were very clear, they are not gonna organize their program and they are not, as ali said, after developing nuclear bombs or weaponize in it, so it's they're going to reach a kind of negotiation compromise with that kind of b. okay, well i, i mean, iran has condemned as politically motivated recently. by the international atomic energy agency, which was critical of tehran's level of cooperation with the watchdog,

um, with the backdrop of what is happening in the world, especially the last almost 20 months now, with the genocide in the region, do you think that the people of the world are more aware of the lies by international organizations, that they use it, that they are definitely very much politically motivated, how do you see the... overall awareness level of the people of the world now, for example with the iaea and what it's saying about iran, due to what has been going on the last 20 months. "let's say if we take the whole world as a in one hand and we see that there is problems in europe, in china, very far east, in the west asia, in africa, in all the whole regions in the world, there is troubles and there is problems a problem, so

it means the united state is trying to jump over the obstacles in the middle east so..." "all the oil and the energy fluid will be going in a smooth way exported to the whole world and to also to dominate the straight of hormos, babel mandab, suas canal and also jibaltar. the problem is whenever there is an agreement will be reached by united state and any country in the region." "the israelis will oppose it and try by their lobbies to put pressure on the american administration not to go as far as they want and especially with iran or any negotiation going on to have a peaceful area in or peaceful peaceful agreement in

the region so the israel is trying to oppose. such negotiations, the main goal of the american in the in this negotiation is to stop iran from going into acceleration in their industrial and technology and technology progress and program, not the weapon or the nuclear war head, because they know exactly that iran will, they want they will not have because they don't want to, and it's prohibit prohibited to to... have such weapon, nuclear weapon, so the problem is israel is trying to drag the united state to have more war and to stay in state of war in the region, because at any time that the united state will leave the middle east or to postpone all the conflicts in the region and go far east or to europe again and i think they will trans

this problems to to europe again, because the situation is very critical and especially with estonia, latvia and lithuania, the problem is now the the russian exposed that they know and they discovered that there is some nuclear weapon installed in and missiles and in those three states, which is like very close to moscow, so the... problem in europe is accumulating, united states is trying to finish or postpone all the problems in the middle east, but the the israeli won't let the united state to succeed in such negotiation, so there is a problem now by which is must be first, there is priorities to the israelis to stay in conflict

in the middle east, there is a priority. to united state to move forward to to have any negotiations or toic war or to military war, to be very fully alert and ready for any escalations that will happen in in europe and it's going to, so the problem is in the israelis is trying to put so many obstacles. between the iranians and the usa from having any successful negotiations, right? i i think the benefits for united states, as i said before, time is not with us side, the priorities, as j.d. vence said last week, that we will not go for the benefits

of any state, unless it's we have a benefits for us in it. so i think he meant israel, i know they will not let israel down, but stay with me because i want to get, i want to in with that thought stay with me, i let me get side back in on this, i mean sat in expost on saturday, iran's foreign minister, has tweeted that the omani foreign minister paid a short visit to tehran today to present elements of a us proposal, and he said that iran would be responding basically in line with its principles, natural national interests and the rights of the... your thoughts in general, do you believe that the united states really wants to reach an agreement with iran? it's a master for united states. all what the united states is doing at the minute, they want to freeze kind of a problems in the at the region, they try, they try to freeze the conflict in ukraine because of the

administration of the trump understand, it's the the its competition and and world hegomony and domination is with the chinese and they wanted to play what we call the... verse of what they done in 19 early 70s with the chinese when they appeased the chinese to dismantle the soviet union after that so they are reversing the same they are they playing it like uh now uh they're going to reverse the whole thing and with iran i don't agree that much with what ali is saying about the united states of america want a and the zinist entity is mish and wanted b no what's the designist entity is the advanced base for the united states of america, whatever the tactics you can see, they they did differ here and there, the strategy is one and within that

strategy design is entity act and the the the strategy, as i said earlier on, it's regime change in iran, and the strategy is to dismantle the nuclear program in iran, and iran find itself in a position, it have... to maximize its own kind of military assets and the defense asset to to protect it so so let me just jump in here so what you're saying basically is that you feel that all of this is still about regime change that's the goal the goal is regime change at the end of the day regime change engaging engaging iran in in nuclear talks from the start okay final thought. your your final thoughts, do you think an agreement can be reached? yes, strongly, and i think this is for the american interest right now, if we go back to the the book of madelin

olbright in 2007, it says that at any time united states is in dilemma with europe or with china, it must be a friendly talks with iran, because iran and... geography position of iran, it's very strategic, the whole area, the whole source of energy, oil, gas and now we know that the area is full of phosphate and is full of also uranium in the region, so they want this area to be postponed, the priorities for the united states is to move on and to have cold war in the region. because they think that they reached some place which they could not think that uh they could they could have it. now

they see that the region is a little bit stable according to their thinking and they can reach a small agreement under that domination in gaza or in lebanon, so iran, if we have a talk with iran and we reach any agreement, it means they can't they they will be free to to deal with china and on that note so sorry we have have to interrupt but we're out of time appreciate both of you being with me saib and west asia expert out of belfast andy writer and political analyst out of south lebanon and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashim, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye.

america should be ashamed for deporting veterans, they really don't know how many vets have been deported, we're talking about 25 years uh since 1996, hardly anybody knows a mooy even. we even exist, i mean nobody knows, i lost my family during my time spending afghanistan, my wife left, uh, took the kids, so when i came home i didn't have a family, i came home to nothing, 22 veterans kill themselves every day, i think about that every day and i try not to be a part of that statistic. a lot of people don't know no country in the world they pour their military personnel, no country, just the united states.

"childish dreams morph into the ugly reality of the grown-ups world cuz my dad's usually like we got to school and then he gets to our house and he's the one to takes me to practices now i can't go to practice he takes my brother" in the first week of 2017 alone, when trump took office as us president, 20,00 immigrants were deported. hemos visto como el incremento de familias que no tienen récord criminal están siendo paradas y empiezan con su proceso de deportación. the majority of those deported were neither criminals nor members of street gangs or sex offenders. on the contrary, the majority of them were mothers and fathers who go to the immigration office on.
