it is one that relates to iran. the united states has been involved with talks with that country over its nuclear program and those thoughts have been indirect in europe. your own views on this process. anything you recommend that we do differently when it comes to the entities -- as the number one red in the industry. -- that's in the industry. whether any good in the previous administrations -- pressure policy? >> if you look at the maximum pressure campaign and i know there is a lot of debate on how effective and the withdrawal from the jp poa -- look at a couple of metrics. the thing that the regime in iran cares about is not its own people but it's wallet. the bad business empire that the irgc is behind. the vast empire that the regime is behind, financially, that was truly under threat under the maximum pressure campaign. he saw the iranian courtesy tanking. we saw the federal reserves at a record low. their exports of oil dropped from about 4 billion barrels per day to less than 400,000. they were treading wa

all of iran's actions. my first question to mr. secretary is can you tell us and by the way one last thing on this whether there is a jcpoa or not and whether the deal that was struck or not in everything i described. let's start by asking if i can define what our policy is with respect to iran the country whose have taken all of these actions consistently now. >> you are exactly right. whether or not there is a jcpoa all of the actions and activities he described will continue. one question for us in iraq within nuclear weapon is likely to act with greater impunity to all of these things which is one of the reasons want to do everything we can. having said that your point is an important one which is why irrespective of that agreement or not we are working with allies and partners and their partners with israel and others to make sure we have in place the means necessary to do with all these challenges. long-range bomber overflight, corp. to interdict sanctioning to relevant iranian actors posting the capa

let's talk iran. as you know iran's the world's top state sponsor of terrorism. and the islamic revolutionary guard corps is their premiere terrorist organization. as the state department noted in 2019 iran is an outlaw regime that uses terrorism as a key tool of states craft and the i.r.g.c. has engaged in terrorist activity or terrorism since its inception 40 years ago. the i.r.g. support for terrorism is quote, foundational and institutional. the i.r.g.c. has killed over #00 americans in iraq. they control vast parts of the iranian economy and use them for financing terrorism. right now the irgc is actively trying to murder additional americans. including former trump administration officials. we know from public reports that the state department spends $2 million every month protecting former officials, including former secretary of state pompeo. and the secret service is providing similar protection to protect former national security advisor bolten. because of such activity, the trump administration rightly designated the irgc as a foreign terrorist organiz

s. market is to great. iran cells, most of its exported oil to china rather than use currency. iran and china have agreed to an oil for goods deal, a kind of barter transaction. yet iran hardly needs chinese goods. machines from europe would be much more important for the economy of a country with a population of $83000000.00 young entities. and iran especially has a huge problem with foreign exchange. if this crude oil is sold via international payments, then you now trulia foreign exchange and, and you can make better use of foreign exchange. if you're able to import other products to inputs, you make the latest nuclear negotiations with iran, which could and the u. s. sanctions have made progress, but the remaining points of contention are tough. on one side to ron insists that the ron's revolutionary guards no longer be classified as a terrorist organization. but for the u. s. this is a red line. also at the negotiating table is russia and russia is not interested in making it easier for iranian oil to replace russian oil in the global market. and that's it for me. and the dw busine

is expressing concerns about the speed at which iran is developing nuclear weapons. what's the context of all this? them well, a few hours after that statement there by antony, blinkin at the white house press secretary, jennifer, saki was asked precisely the same question. and she said very clearly, the biden administration is very worried about the apparent speed with which iran is developing its nuclear weapons. capability she to attributed this to the fact that the previous president donald trump pulled out of the iran program in terms of which iran agreed to stop nuclear development or weaponized nuclear development. in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. i jumped the saki making very clear the administration's belief at that because of this. basically, iran was lost control of it, developed or continued develop its nuclear weapons program, a direct consequence of the decision to pull out of the joint comprehensive plan of action that was taken by president trump. this she says is why president biden immediately came into office, started attempts to get this

what should i get when brand new cars in iran have an accident? spare parts cannot be found or would not come on time. we have to be self sufficient. we have to repair that piece ourselves, find repair, paint, and deliver like new to the satisfaction of our customer with the talents we found within ourselves. because it can take more time to be able to go there and bring the parts. and amid the sanctions, we have been under for 10 years. that was not possible for our work. and we could not do it. we have to be self sufficient and do the work ourselves. the you as sanctions effect and access to medicines in iran was once a big deal, not any more. the maryan, the medicine sanctions, are a subset of economic warfare and they have both negative and positive effects. if we look at it, generally, the positive effects of sanctions are that the country is moving toward self sufficiency. moving toward self reliance, moving towards consumption management and managing waste in the pharmaceutical sector and so on. we are producing the best medicines and our d

>> well, carl, the team in iran is world champion in engaging moneylaundering. they have set up this clast stein sanctions busting sanctions and vladimir putin, who as you know is under punishing sanctions because of his invasion of ukraine. the irans are standing by to have this architecture available to putin so he can move 10s of billions of dollars and circumvent u.s. and western sanctions. >> what does the west need to do to keep this from happening? and wouldn't this sort of undo whatever progress we appear to be making in iran nuclear deal >> well, it certainly would. president biden is poised to reenter the deal that president trump withdrew from in 2018. and in doing so is going to be withdrawing sanctions, including on iran's central bank, which president trump designated for supporting terrorism in 2019 and so you have a situation where iran is going to shake free of these sanctions. but in doing so, it can really do a favor for its russian ally in allowing russian banks and russian energy companies to ply back into the financial and energy system thr

the dice: obama's diplomacy with iran." recently wrote an article headlined "without the iran nuclear deal, war is on the horizon." talk about what happened this week and if you do see a deal inside. >> i do see ideal in sight. alst all of the issues have been resolved. the key remaining sticking point is the iranian demand the irgc be taken off one of the united states' terrorist list that it was added on by the trump administration in a deliberate act to make it difficult for a future president to come back into the deal. we have to be frank. district west by the iranians is rather meaningless in the sense that does not carryuch substance. even if ere taken on that list, they remain on other u.s. terrorist lists, still treated as such by united states as well as by international businesses. for the iranians, they are not gaining much. the thing for the u.s., will be a high political cost, doing so in washington, protests from hawkish lawmakers in congress as well as some centrists. the issue at the end of this, more or le

a secretary of state has also warned that iran that could be the position to develop a nuclear weapon in weeks that's down from previous assessments of about a year. and in the blink, and it says, a return to the 2015 nuclear deal is a best way to reduce any threat. you also said that terran has accelerated its nuclear program in recent years. why cannot, has more in this, from washington dc while the setting in which the secretary of state chose to make us information public was in a senate committee hearing the secretary of state essentially defending the bite and administration's policy to re engage with iran to attempt to put back into place that joint comprehensive plan of action, which was established in 2015 and then abolished by then president trump. in 2018. later in the day we heard from the press secretary jennifer saki who made very clear that the administration was deeply worried about this increased pace with which iran appears to be improving it's nuclear weapons program. at the same time, she said this was a consequence of the previous administration, and this is why w

and by any measure, iran con, seems to have lost the majority. he does not have the numbers anymore in parliament . a 172 m. p 's are required to elect the leader of the house. there are 177 people under 76 who are sitting on the opposition benches. according to the italy, they see iran fund is hiding behind this facade off a foreign conspiracy against him. and trying to delay this world of no confidence which is going to be inevitable. and he is going to be no longer be the prime minister. focus on and his policy members saying that there's an international conspiracy. there is money that is coming from abroad. and that's why people have been able to buy votes against iran con. so all of that, it drama is going to take place throughout the day at the national assembly. and we are going to keep you updated on when this vote takes place. and if even on con, goes out as a prime minister fucking the man accused of masterminding attacks in the indian city of mon buying 2008 has been sentenced to 31 years in jail on new charges, half he said, was conv

we helped oil producers produce more oil to compete with iran. at that time, as you mentioned already, russians were taking crimea while you were negotiating the iran deal but now we have russia aiding in part the united states negotiate the iran deal. totally different situation. so i want to start with the first point, what can you say that this administration -- something you said was so crucial for credible negotiation with them, what can you say this administration does to array our military in such a way that they are taken serious so that the iranians know that if nothing else works that we will take military action and use weapons that would penetrate fordo? secretary sherman: congressman, i believe that diplomacy is often supported by a credible threat of force. and i think that everybody in this room would agree that the united states military is the finest, strongest, broadest, deepest military on the face of the earth. mr. mast: agreed, ma'am. >> you can see the rest of this if you go to c-span.org or on the c-span now video app. righ

but, in iran, they are oppressed. it is not easy to be baha'i... in iran, the baha'i, most of their rights are taken away, they can't go to university, they can't even work in some cases. but the basic tenant of the baha'i faith is what we call the twofold moral purpose, that we are here on this planet, we are spiritual beings, to try and become better but at the same time make society better. we are quite activist, in a sense, we get involved in society, we try and raise the level of discussion so, for me, being a baha'i absolutely drives what i do because it is not about making fun of racism, religions, it is about absolutely saying the oneness of humanity is a fact, it is not even a nice idea. so, all the stuff about identity politics is interesting because of course we can be ajew, or you can be lgbtq or you can be whoever you are, as long as we understand we are all fundamentally one. if we understand that, then the comedy will be easier to do. you are currently making comedy in farsi. how is your farsi? not very good. well, it better improve,

for more than 40 years, iran has been living under a western economic blockade. the richest people in general, the managed to continue their motor segments of society. in fact, they do facebook ha, generally around the world. sanctions were seen as a response to religious fanatics taking power, but it wasn't that simple. of the iran statelamic revolution in 1979, the pro western shore was overthrown. the later fled the country, taking a considerable part of the treasury with him, purchased as in terror, responded by seizing the american embassy. they took 66 stuff hostage and demanded washington extradite the fugitive leader. the sheer clergy, led by ayatollah khomeini, had to take power into their own hands. u. s. president jimmy carter ordered a rainy oil imports to be seized. irena was, it's in american banks with frozen sales ability goes to a band breaking diplomatic relations. the us band, all the exports, including food and medicine, a william la, 2 heaters with their answers point a porter. there is a controller financing extensive or near a machine near

ah, iran has set new conditions for the u. s. to resume the nuclear deal to runs. foreign minister added president biden should lift sanctions to show quote goodwill . if biden has intentions to lift sanctions and return to the nuclear deal, he should issue an executive order to show his goodwill instead of applying sanctions on natural and legal persons in iran, negotiations towards renewing the nuclear agreement between iran and the us have sold both countries blame each other for failing to meet commitments. the deal was signed in 2015 and lifted sanctions imposed by the bomber administration. but former us president donald trump left the deal, and iran then violated it ramping up its nuclear program. thrown on washington also continue to sanction each other. iran has added 24 american officials or the terrorism on human rights violations of iranians. we discussed prospects for a renewal of the nuclear deal with side mohammed moran. the a to ron university professor. he thinks radians are tired of trying to safety agreement to

you also said to iran has accelerated its nuclear program in recent years. we've now the test, the 2 propositions. one was the nuclear agreement. it was originally reached. and that significantly set back iranian capabilities to pursue a nuclear weapon, particularly the facade material for such weapons. and that agreement was working by all objective accounts. we've tested the other proposition, which is pulling out of the agreement, trying to exert more pressure. and we've also seen the result and the result has been that that nuclear program, which had pushed back the breakout time to a year in terms of being able to produce his material for a weapon. that's now down to a matter of weeks when i can or has more or less from washington d. c. while the setting in which the secretary of state chose to make us information public was in a senate committee hearing the secretary of state essentially defending the bite and administration's policy to re engage with iran to attempt to put back into place that joint comprehensive plan of action which was established i

let's talk a little bit about the iran deal because talks have resumed to implement the iran, the also known as the j. c, p o. r. when trump withdrew from the deal in 262018, excuse me, you called disastrous. and you said it was officially a pretext for the us to wage war on iran. do anticipate a return to the iran deal and from a global security standpoint of what's at stake if the deal fails? well, when the trump administration withdrew from the treaty, it had a very sort of, i think so malicious intent with that it was a functioning deal. it really had strict verification and sure that iran was not developing nuclear weapons. and the u. s. just intentionally sabotaged that, but this standard that was in the round, it was the highest that we've ever seen. an international agreement with verification on nuclear energy facilities. and i. e, a verified that iran was implementing it. they are not developing nuclear plants. we know what they're doing. so i think that was just intentionally trying to portray the treaty as bad when it was actually a very high standard treaty. i was really a

we urge iran to do the same. we urge iran to without u.s. citizens to return home to their loved ones. >> [indiscernible] pakistan has said it once better relations with the united states to secure development in the region. do you see this as an opportunity? >> you probably saw what we released from the secretary last night regarding the selection of the prime minister for almost 75 years. the relationship is been a vital one. we look forward to continuing that work with pakistan's government to promote peace and prosperity in pakistan and the broader region, and in that spirit we have congratulated the prime minister on his election by the pakistani parliament and look forward to working with him and his government. >> whack's supporters organizing anti-u.s. protests? his supporters attacks on american journalists who disagree with them. do you have any a message for them who were organizing anti-u.s. protests in america? >> our message has been clear and consistent on this, there is no truth whatsoever to the allegation that has been put

iran is out, how are they going to react? now iran, if he takes to the streets as the thing to do, that he aggressively continues to say, is i, i bought it right to the last one of the match. if he does that, then that may continue to unite the spot. he's, if he doesn't, if he goes quietly, which doesn't seem to be the case, then this group, this group will have a problem. so again, a very, very interesting couple of weeks ahead and again need a lot of caution. lots of sense. good sense for the leaders of park central and they critical situation because we want to never forget the box is a come to 220000000 people. it's nuclear. it's situated in a very sensitive geopolitical location for the whole was. so it is something to watch for the next few weeks. sadly former ambassador, that is the final ball in all right, full the interview. thank you very much for your time. and for joining us here on out to say thank you. still had head on out there about the rest, we travel to keep where the wall has led to a booby local businesse

nuclear deal. -- benefit from the iran nuclear deal. your thoughts. >> that's exactly right, maria. he's sitting here slow-rolling this war, and russia's goal was to take mariupol which is the coastway and also to take over odesa in the black sea. again, their idea between vladimir putin and chairman xi is to achieve and and advance the one road, one belt initiative. that essentially means they had to expand out the eurasian border, take over africa to recreate a silked road. you see china putting billions of collars into portage -- dollars into portage and and overland railways so so they can control the supply chain. they want to cut off the horn of africa, the mediterranean, the red sea, the persian gulf, control resources and at the same time they want to eliminate the u.s. dollar from being the probably currency. we see this as chai -- china is advancing talks to replace the metro dollar with the petrol yuan. we have to look at how russia, china, iran and north korea have launched wars against america over the past two and a half i

warned that iran could develop a nuclear weapon in weeks. it says a return to the 2015 nuclear deal is the best way to reduce any threat. >> the fact is that right now iran's breakout time is shorter than we would like. were we to reenter the jcpoa and were iran to once again be subject to the stringent monitoring regime, that breakout time would be extended. lauren: mike, what more does the white house have to say about this? mike: the white house press secretary addressed this issue directly during the daily briefing, saying this does worry the biden administration. she said the fact that biden started working toward resuscitating that agreement, the jcpoa, was because iran was accelerating nuclear weapons development after the u.s. walked away under trump from that deal. jen psaki saying this is one of the reasons the u.s. wants to get back to this deal. she was echoing something said by the secretary of state earlier in the day. antony blinken was giving evidence to a senate committee. he said the matter of time in which iran could devel

but it wasn't that simple of the iran statelamic revolution. in 1979, the pro western shore was overthrown. the later fled the country, taking a considerable part of the treasury with him, purchased as in terror, responded by seizing the american embassy. they took 66 stuff hostage and demanded washington extradite the fugitive leader. the sheer clergy, led by ayatollah khomeini, had to take power into their own hands. us president jimmy carter ordered iranian oil imports to be seized. irena deposits in american banks were frozen sales of military goods were band breaking diplomatic relations. the u. s. band on exports, including food and medicine. hello tortures for my daughter while you're false. hey, the bad denija would be my very false thought on was in the face before wasa. i'm good. mm hm. dog paid homage. a william law to heaters meetings a around says boys, a porter, there's football controller finance, so extensive or near a machine near me at the new ssl dock. we're proposing the bullying thing to consider are yet the guy yesterday w

you have what is going on with russia, ukraine, china, north korea, iran. can you believe they want a new ironic nuclear deal? and -- iran nuclear deal? they want to pack the courts, they want to federalize elections. they want to pack the courts so they can take away your free speech, your religious liberty, your second amendment rights. they are all about abortion. that is what they have spent their year on. the way i look at it, they have an agenda. you know what we have? we have a vision. we have a vision that, if we focus on our founding principles, if we stay true to what this nation was founded on, if every day we are that happy warrior for faith, family, freedom, hope, opportunity for all, this great nation's best days are ahead of us. they are not behind us. [applause] sen. blackburn: that is one of the big differences between the democrats and their agenda, and us and our agenda. so many times when i am at home in tennessee, and i am out and about, someone will come up to me and go through this agenda of everything that is going on. the issue of t

let's start with iran alone. let's deal with iran that would give them tens of billions of dollars, reportedly take the revolutionary guard off the no-fly list, reportedly allow vladimir putin, who is negotiating the deal, to build a nuclear facility. importing oil from the iranians. would you ever make that deal with the iranian government? >> ended a terrible deal, but it was better the one and they are looking to do now. they are looking to do a deal even worse, if that's possible. the one thing you did say is that israel is in tremendous peril, tremendous danger if this happens. it is a very quick road map for them to have a nuclear weapon, a lot of nuclear weapons. i can't imagine that it is going to be allowed to happen, what they are doing in congress, and what biden is doing. i can't imagine that they would allow this to happen, sean. this could very well be the end of israel. a lot of people are saying that too. i must perhaps something happens where israel is going to have to take up the fight. but it i

i'm expecting an update on what is happening with the jcpoa, negotiations with iran. we were told february was the date we needed to conclude an agreement. it is the end of april. we look forward to hearing about that, as well as iran's malign actions across the region. i'm pleased that funding for israel is fully funded in this request, but i am concerned by security cuts in iraq as we transition to bilateral diplomacy. in tunisia, we'd love to hear a strategy confronting democratic backsliding, and in south and central asia, we need clarity on whether the administration will waive sanctions for india's purchase of the russian air defense system, and what role will they play in the quad? in the wake of the taliban's broken promise to allow girls to attend secondary school, their crackdown on the media, and the unfolding humanitarian situation, we need an update on the administration's diplomatic strategy. we are facing multiple humanitarian challenges, refugee crises on several continents, one of the worst food and security crises we've seen in a generation. consider

because we all know iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. but what is the plan to prevent them from doing so? i think we are in the dark about that. returning to this idea we could have a jcpoa especially when iran is demanding we delist the ir gc which the trump administration really correctly put on the state sponsorship of terrorism and iran is demanding we pull back on that. i think that would be a horrifically bad stop on our part to. >> carley: so iran will acquire nuclear weapons within weeks. they are the number one state sponsor of terrorism. how nervous should america be that they could use that weapon against us? >> well, the fact that they have a breakout. mike of three weeks is very disconcerting. the first impact you will feel is the region. saudi arabia and other nations will certainly look to build out their own nuclear program. then iran will be able to launch attacks using their proxy militia hezbollah, yemen, proxy militia in iraq was even greater impunity knowing they have the nuclear capability. look what russia has done

why is iran con, facing this? no confident today? why is he lost support when in the last 3 and a half years or what has happened in pakistan? is emron con, promised millions of jobs, millions of homes are bringing down inflation, strengthening the loopy, and the opposite of that has happened for on the ground for people. because he had to go for a i, m. f, bailout for the economy. he had to squeeze the bug expending. he had to increase taxes, and that has been the case where he's lost a lot of support on the ground from the people of pakistan. and then also there is, as i mentioned, the rule of the military establishment, the military submission was, seemed to be backing him non con. and that's no longer seems to be the case where the opposition have pounced on the opportunity and went to all of these dissidence . these people who had broken from opposition party then joined amazon hans party and got them on board with them. we are here because boxed on it's facing, not just a myriad of challenges which are political and constitutio

the iran deal you spoke of. it was worked out with one administration and another and -- i administration decides he doesn't like them. he tears it up. it makes america look indecisive. they could be just. it could be an improvement of policy and methods on our part or on the part of who is in the white house. the problem is we do not have a continuous policy. therefore, we are still going to be running around as each administration changes. you say we have a trump or obama or bush part c or a clinton policy. why don't we have a u.s. policy that is continuous and has some consistency to it? host: thanks, james. guest: you raise an interesting point but that is the difference between a democracy and a monarchy. if you had a dictatorship -- chinese policy has been consistent over 50 years. russian policy over 20 years. democracy is messy and god bless us for it. we do not have the ability and should not have the ability to have one president tied the hand of another. if he -- the president could not mess with it,

for the last for the years. iran has managed to go around. most of those sanctions and young has been able to actually survive and also progress under the section. then of course, you realize that american aggressive behaviors will continue no matter what you do, you know, has been receiving end of american edition for the last 40 years. or that does it for me this hour, i will be back and let's say 30 minutes with another full and fresh look to news. this is our teacher national. but that was for is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what whole make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to some with direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depth.

we know from our experts within the iea that iran was abiding by its commitments under the jcpoa. in the protocols that were in place to verifiably impermanent to prevent iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon were working. now, since 2018 iran has been in position to accelerate the nuclear program in ways that would have been darker, would have been prevented by the jcpoa when it is in full effect. and with that that breakout time from where it started to a point where we can measure it in weeks rather than months. to us that is unacceptable as a long-term proposition. the only long-term proposition that it's acceptable to us is the fact iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. we continue to believe best means to achieve that right now is through eight mutual return to compliance with the ironic deal. eventually, that will no longer be the case when the iranian nuclear program goes beyond the points. >> the possible military clarification of that issue a precondition to moving on to the deal is that something that can happen after words the jcpoa? >> we defer to
