as you know the broader role of iran in the region analysts say while checking iran's behavior is important the trumpet ministration is taking a risk i would hope that there would be more evidence put forward in general and for that matter for that's really obvious it's important she claims to have evidence evidence for that haley made it clear the u.s. is doing what needs to be done for the sake of national security you will see us build a coalition to really push back against iran and what they're doing well i warning to tell han at least for now on supply cross alone jordan al-jazeera washington and . ok let's bring in our panel from tehran for what is a professor of well studies at the university of tehran is specializes in u.s. iran relations via skype from geneva john locke rickly head of global risk at the geneva sense of a security policy from washington d.c. i've seen a ron alice of the international crisis group welcome all of you gentleman for if i can start with you the u.s. says this is concrete evidence that it now has that iran is supplying weapons to the fight says in the ye

nuclear deal because they do understand that iran. will not be able to develop a nuclear weapons you know for the next i have them and i mean that you know i mean there are a lot of different takes on that most obvious point was that well it's only a limited period of time then after that iran is free to do what it wants and that's a bad deal well i mean no i mean a nuclear weapon is not a bad deal to say but of course you know there is no infinite infinity in national agreements anyways but for the foreseeable future iran will not be able to produce a nuclear weapon and you also mentioned the i guess basically confirmation on that matter and secondly the problem is that you can criticize the iran nuclear deal that it's not enough because it didn't address iranian regional policies which is a fair point the but the problem is that the need to know government and also israel has not much credibility on this issue because they are themselves a nuclear power and outside of the n.p.t. so this should be some kind of arrangement beyond the

death or freedom it's a chant that was heard around iran this week but angry of the high cost of basic goods the price of eggs for example has gone up forty percent in just six months some iranians say it's time for the government to focus on domestic issues and to forget syria and forget but a sign these protesters hope the iran nuclear deal in two thousand and fifteen would ease their financial struggles most international sanctions were lifted but life for many iranians has not improved government critics say the economic benefits of the deal haven't been passed on because of mismanagement and alleged corruption and the budget announced this month cuts vital social welfare programs while giving more money to religious and revolutionaries to. more than fifty arrests were reportedly made in iran's second largest city in mashhad with the government saying the demonstrations were uncalled for and iran's vice president saying the protests could do more harm than good. as all economic indications in the country are good yes there is an increase in the prices of some products and the gover

he is very anti—iran. steve bannon, who is no longer in the white house, has always had this thing for iran. iran has been the main sponsor of terrorism in the area. there is a justification for being critical of the iranian regime and particularly of not wanting them to get nuclear arms. but it is the idea of a huge conflict between iran and saudi. what you want to try to do is to prevent that from happening. but what is the alternative? to go to war against iran? it isa it is a huge country. it is not iraq under saddam hussein. it has a huge arsenal of missiles, also it has military wings like hezbollah in lebanon, so they can actually create a lot of problems. that is why the europeans are very reserved when it comes to iranians policy. there is a nuclear deal, signed after a brutal and lengthy negotiation. now, trump is then he will not accept this. what is the alternative? there is scepticism about this deal, about whether it would prevent iran from getting nuclear capability. so there is a legitimate

what would iran do? >> [ speaking persian ] >> translator: we will have various options at our disposal vis-à-vis this issue if the united states pulls out of the jcpoa. and there has been quite a great deal of thought given to this possible scenario, regarding our reaction. and if such a thing were to happen, quite swiftly, the world will see iran's steps and reactions. this action will take place in a matter of a few days. however, given that mr. trump's reactions and actions and policies are somewhat unpredictable, we have had long thought and discussions about our reactions. >> can i ask you -- because i've talked to other iranian government officials, i've spoken to officials from around the world -- what do you think of president trump's twitter diomacy? do you see a strategy? do you see policy? do you see chaos? what do you see? >> translator: well, in any way, it is a method that mr. trump has started. he knows better than anyone. he wishes perhaps to enter into certain announcements actively an

i'm coming from the nation of iran. >> raise your hands if you're iranian! >> iran! iran! supporters of imam hussein! >> reporter: when the swarms of worshippers finally reach the shrine of imam hussein, many pray for healing and forgiveness. others give thanks. the crowds are huge here, and some of the estimates are staggering. officials say as many as 20 million gather here every year for arbaeen. to put that in perspective, that's equal to the population of new york cramming into a city of less than one million. and literally, every few steps i take, i hear an iranian speaking farsi. see? >> ( translated ): everyone here is iranian. look around, all you see are iranians. >> reporter: for the 24 years saddam hussein ruled iraq, few iranians dared to make this journey. the two countries were mortal enemies, at war for eight years, and the secular dictator had banned the pilgrimage. in 2003, the u.s.-led coalition toppled saddam. in came a shia-majority government, and back came iranian worshipers. today, few events reveal the return of iran's powerful religious influence

that is what we're talking about that is what iran is actively supporting. what is most revealing is what is not here. a short range ballistic missile missing the large stabilizer fins typically present on these kinds of missiles. the iranian missile is the only known short-range missile in the world that lacks such a stabilizer fin to include the nine vowels that you can see running along the length of the missile those are essentially the fingerprints on your walk through you also see missile debris stamped with the logo of an iranian manufacturer. path put those are just two of the evidence stating its origins made in iran been given to militants in yemen and fired at a civilian airport with a potential to kill hundreds of innocent civilians in saudi arabia. you will see more than that in this warehouse there is material from the anti-a guided missile with a range of over 2 miles and can destroy tanks and even buildings. material from an unmanned aerial vehicle known as a kamikaze drone to take down radar sites and materials from the explosive boat with a

a nuclear iran? transparency is important. i agree with everybody that are iran needs to be watched very, very skeptically. why would we want to be with iran exactly where we are with north korea? is this effort, which in my opinion is simply a continuation of the efforts to end the iran deal, to reverse president obama's legacy? is it worth going to bed at night not just worried about north korea but iran? i would suggest that it's not. i don't want to go back to the pre-iran deal era when i became an expert on hardened bunkers and the weapons we use to penetrate hardened bunkers and if we had to go to war against iran to prevent a nuclear iran, the consequences would be as awful as if we went to war with north korea to prevent a north korea nuclear weaponized state. why would we do this and put at given deal that has depf comfort? eight, nine years from now, let's revisit this -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. himes: this deal is not a perfect dea

hoodies that are supported by iran. to a degree i suppose if you divert the conversation and you show a missile port well you have achieved a propaganda gain of some sort right where it says oh i am going to join another us i'm going to jump in there because you shouldn't of seeing a repeat of history only the situation as it is now we have had objections from america's allies in europe about this. and also we could take a step back and ask is this reminiscent of colin powell showing the alleged proof in iraq of missiles of mass destruction back in two thousand and three is this just a technique that the americans use to get the world on this side do you think. well we have a major propaganda apparatus to dwarf the significance of our chief example and of course colin powell is the prime exemplar but you have people like general petraeus i remember when general petraeus was in iraq and he told the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that he had discovered in a radian supplied cache of weapons and that there was a us a

and iran is so iran is subject to the to the inspections and to the regulations of the n.p.t. what we have seen that actually while it was a member of n.p.t. they cheated and broken every and violated every commitment that they had israel does not have any commitments or obligations and simply this is the core of our national security policy because of the situation we are in. rather than the same legal obligations iran does well precisely because israel is outside of the n.p.t. it makes it very difficult for israel to. this size the i.a.e.a. and their inspections of iran and what iran is doing would you essentially are saying is that the rest of the region is at the mercy of the goodwill of the israeli government the same argument that you falsely used against iran there's not a single report by the i.a.e.a. pointing out that israel's nuclear program is peaceful so the fact that the iranians have now signed this agreement is in allowing all of these inspections inside of their program is really putting israel in a very very uncomfortable position in which the hypocrisy of its

he has not been able to go to iran. he has not been able to go to iran. he has not been able to go to iran or visit his wife and prison because he hasn't been granted a visa for the last 19 months. that is a tangible ask that he has made for the foreign secretary when he goes to iran. it is notjust about nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, it is notjust about nazanin zaghari— ratcliffe, there it is notjust about nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, there are other issues on the table. boris johnson will want to discuss the nuclear deal and it's about building the diplomatic relationship between the uk and iran. going back to nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's case, a court appearance is scheduled for tomorrow, at this stage we are not sure if she will appear, there is every possibility but nothing has been confirmed. all eyes will be watching closely as to how this meeting goes between borisjohnson and his iranian counterpart. in the last few minutes we have had a tweet from the foreign secretary boris johnson... thank you for that update and we will bring you more on bori

that's what iran is actively supporting. what is most revealing about this missile is what is not here. this is a short-range ballistic missile. it's missing the large stabilizer fins that are typically present on these kinds of missiles. the iranian missile is the only known short-range ballistic missile in the world that lacks and includes nine vowels that you will see running along the length of the missile. those vowels are essentially raining fingerprints. you will also see missile debris stamped with the logo of an iranian manufacture. those are just two of the many pieces of evidence that tell us of this missile's iranian origins. it was made and iran and then sent to houthi militants in yemen. from there was sent from a airport with the potential to kill hundreds of innocent civilians in saudi arabia. you will see more than that. in this warehouse there is material from an antitank guided missile. such missiles have a range of over two miles and can destroy tanks and even buildings. you will see material from an unma

military power iran's people or what its leaders fear most. all still ety between the u.s. and iran goes back more than sixty years in one nine hundred fifty three a joint british american plot led to the else doing of iran's democratically elected prime minister excuse me and restored the ruling monica sharma reza pahlavi the resentment of the u.s. meddling helped trigger iran's nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution and the installment of the anti western ruhollah khomeini supreme leader more than fifty americans were held hostage for more than a year the countries have been at loggerheads ever since in twenty fifteen troubling u.s. led sanctions against iran were lifted in return for limitations to its nuclear energy program the deal was the signature foreign policy achievement of barack obama's presidency but since coming to power donald trump has slapped unilateral sanctions on iran and the president could pull the u.s. out of the deal altogether in january now dramatic video has emerged from syria showing children being rescued from rebel held parts of damascus

iran can retaliate. and article 37 with the process, and the veto in the un and leads to a un resolution essentially saying continue this agreement and if you veto it the agreement basically dies, the human aspect die which is tantamount to killing it so there are powerful tools we have in this ten year period but at the end of ten years president obama admitted it is a different ballgame and we have to figure out what to do then. >> i largely agree with. let me make three points some of which goes to senator king's question. which is first, the jcp oa was inadequate dealing with past military dimensions of iran's activity. they closed the file on that without going to the bottom of the issues that had been raised in the november 2011 report that outlined all the different problems. more than ten countries intelligence services had provided evidence about with regard to military activities. without that as a baseline it is difficult to verify the agreement. the provisions of the jcp oa itself were far fr

behavior in order to deal with iran. what you see from iran is a reaction to this mr you made the iranian physician pretty clear and i think it is not just iran that finds the actions or statements of the current american president quite disagreeable but i'm particularly that's why i'm particularly interested in what you make of the russian treatment of don't trust because i do think it's actually very very patient at least when you combine into account of how russia usually reacts to the united states how do you read it what do you think is most to pursuing in this sort of keep go off approach to donald trump well i believe russia has a prudent foreign policy and is pursuing its interests and i usually do not think gauge interfering in the internal or external affairs of other countries would agree that their strategic considerations also impact your position because everything in the world especially in the middle is this closely interlinked do you think there is any benefit iran to russia trying to play these sort of

the world got together to try to limit iranian nuclear weapons the threat is iran iran iran saudi arabia knows it bahrain knows united arab emirates knows it egypt knows it the only country that doesn't seem to notice qatar which is cozying up to iran but the arab sunni nations understand that the extremism and terrorism of iran and their had many in the middle east and slowly taking over so many middle east and capitals that is the true threat and iran backing up assad in syria to slaughter muslims that is the threat to islamic life and the world should gang up to stop that stop the murder of muslims in syria rabbi shmuley boteach thank you well if hundreds of thousands of palestinians are technically homeless so are that tens of thousands of homeless in britain thanks for the minority government leader to resume who was defeated by the might of german corbin and their own body said this week country to evidence that she is against homelessness we don't want to see anybody who is homeless or anybody who is sleeping rough on our streets and she thinks homes should not just be fit for hab

signing the iran deal that so many people like israel heeded would cause iran better behavior. said they backed against america and they treat their own citizens like this. you could argue if all the people had about 2017, no 117, noah had a worse 2017 and a legacy former president barack obama. leland: he does seem to enjoy his ear now not being president. certainly traveled the world and made his thoughts on the current president known. don't have time to discuss that now but we will in the new year. jillian. gillian: coming up throughout this hour in through the of sera fox news channel we remain committed to bringing you the latest on the protester wrecking across iran and on this morning shooting of a police officer outside denver. our political panel will weigh in with the latest on the anti-government protests in iran. the day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctor's office, just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting y

yet, iran has been advancing and while this administration has a very rhetorical situation against iran that done very little on the ground in the first 10 months to stop further iranian successes and repent a series of them in the last several months largely in reaction to the allies. why is it so hard? several reasons. first of all look at how iran operates. it does not challenge conventionally like saddam hussein did. but rather, it infiltrates other countries playing off of bad governance, failed states, ungoverned areas, terrorist groups. either they support or use an excuse to go in. there are people who know the region very well. they have a long-term strategy. it is all organized and supports each other. lebanon, yemen, syria, iraq, -- this requires a comprehensive response throughout the region with both us and our allies because we not going to do this with hundreds of thousands of troops. and that does the problems with our allies. as we've seen in the last few months with the turks, pick the subject, the independence announcement. the sound is again picked the issue, yemen.

richard ratcliffe to go to iran, bear in mind she has not been able to go to iran to see his daughter or wife because he hasn't been granted a visa for the last 19 months. that's a tangible has we were asked of the foreign secretary when he goes to iran. the problem as his red clay, he doesn't believe he is safe to visit her on his own. the connector as he's made clear. with vast that if he does make arrangements for a decent, he needs to make arrangements for security. it is risky for him to go to iran, but we have to put faith in the foreign office, if we can get india ran to visit his daughter and wife imprisoned, the foreign office have two guarantee his security as a citizen. the other thing i discussed about this trip is whether boris johnson will visit nazanin himself we have previously had a problem with a diplomat going to iran, going to the prison where nazanin is based but not seen her face to face. that is one thing i pushed for if boris johnson is there in iran, will he try and see my constituents face to face? have you spoken to her recently? i spoke to her about ten day

the evidence is undeniable the weapons might as well have had made in iran stickers all over it iran denies it but the u.s. says it has proof the toran is supplying all those to the rebels in yemen. kellogg's or robyn you want you all deserve a lot more headquarters here in doha coming up in the next thirty minutes. a bake. missed opportunity the latest round of syria talks ends with negotiators blaming each other for their failure. also the leaders of china and south korea meet with law korea's nuclear program but the top of their agenda. also the u.s. pulls the plug on that neutrality we'll explain what that could mean for millions of internet users in america. welcome to al-jazeera the unite. states has presented what it calls undeniable evidence that iran is supplying weapons to who thief find is in yemen the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley showed of what washington says a parts from an iranian made ballistic missile it was fired from yemen last month and nearly hit the airport in the saudi capital riyadh and iran calls those allegations of founded irresponsible and provo

because iran takes speed. last edge then expects them to be ransom the way the united states you know allegedly sent a plane load full of cash quite literally to release americans you want to stop taking westerners hostages but if you don't believe me that iran is the biggest problem look at syria jerusalem in the proclamation is not the threat to to islamic life the threat was one of life right now is in syria and the decimation of cities like aleppo and damascus were sunni muslims are being targeted for a wholesale massacre iran funds much of that iran sends its armies to perpetrate those massacres and is now backed by turkey on syria what you just said is you back to me say by not just one moment just a moment you mean turkey run by air do one who has totally dismantled democracy in turkey turkey used to her nature a lot of the islamic democratic republic that has ended because of the terror and you have erred on who is now who doesn't who doesn't allow his people to read facebook and twitter who imprisoned

has moved more in the direction of iran. because of this oman is a case apart because they have growth of legal relations but i think this whole attitude against iran could be a little bit could be changed i mean from an minutes and miti and then most of. stood at the towards more reconsider the eight three. but one of these so the princes once told me that the sudanese have in their d.n.a. a kind of hostility towards iran. we'll see how it all plays out lester of thank you very much for the center abler talking ten o'clock former attached special envoy to syria thatcher and diplomat about the civil war in syria and the ways that sending across a wider middle east that is it for the latest edition of next time. thank you. like when you all know it's coming through and spoke properly if somebody would've been told me because i'm going to spend my life for two point committees or a little two story course i would have sold it was clear. every night over we were attacked by the arabs oh are we will attacking them and we will ex

iran's nuclear power and this reason as well as iran's missile power and iran's regional clout the first time they tried this an area was when. the israelis produced laptop documents and transferred it to the german intelligence agencies through the old the armed opposition of iran the terrorist organization and the according to american investigative journalism journalist. porter the chief of the intelligence community in berlin rejected the documents as soon as he saw it and said that it was a forgery so after a year they presented it to the u.s. officials and the u.s. officials agreed with that and verified that they were genuine why in order to demonize iran in order to promote iran a full be a throughout the world and to rally international support for sanctions it worked then but now it doesn't work because iran has been complying with the nuclear deal and the u.s. has been defined it's on the takings on the you know if you're going to russia china and many u.n. officials all now they are trying the program is just. point isn't it because how dangerous is it to actually sabotage th

an intentional effort to discourage international investment in iran, which would be viewed by iran and likely by the major world powers who joined us in the jcpoa as well as a violation of the u.s. expressed commitment under the nuclear deal not to interfere with the full realization of the relief provided to iran under the accord. when an identical version of this bill was considered last congress, the obama white house threatened to veto the bill stating that it would endanger iran's nuclear program is and remains scluse i havely peaceful. mover, the obama administration cautioned that the report called for in the bill would also compromise intelligence sources and methods. on that score, i would also note that the reporting requirement in the legislation calls for information about how sanctions, evasion and illicit conduct is practiced and potential countermeasures. it seems far from prudent to give tips to our adverse areas about how we learned about their misconduct and how we plan to respond. this legislation would have very limited practical utility despite the diversion of

iran has always had good relations with the cuban revolution sanctions good for iran apart from says civil aviation of course but dissensions made countries stronger in their current drops in the sea. if a country makes clever political decisions than they would be able to turn the sanctions imposed on them into a golden opportunity to develop their nation and to rely upon themselves the developments that have taken place in iran whilst under sanctions may not have ever happens and if sanctions were not imposed on it in iran is one of five leading nations in terms of their scientific developments. and we believe that sanctions on russia could benefit them of course russia is a very strong nation and it's a superpower so the sanctions against russia by the u.s. . in some european nations will only make russia more independent and even cuba and other nations like venezuela like an off free and sovereign nations and they don't want to be on the americans control the. kind of. grand ayatollah shaikh was and iraqi thank you very much. and that's it for one of your favorite shows of the se

iran iran support but the support is going to be political. and when the blockade and i'm sure you know any and people an iranian government will send a lot of humanitarian support when they are allowed to do that ok thank you very much for speaking to us for desire of tehran university joining us there from the iranian capital also with us here in the studio in doha is our senior political analyst marwan bashar and andrea is craig as well from london's king college thank you both for being here i want to get to what the iranian guest there said in just a moment about iran's future strategy in yemen but just for our viewers who are joining us now i think it's important to pause and talk about how important a moment this is for yemen the death of ali abdullah saleh marwan we heard the who the leader say just a short while ago that this is an exceptional and historic day for the yemeni people just how important and dangerous a moment right. it's a big moment it's it's a turning point. on two levels historic and political. historic because the na

all of these weapons include parts made in iran, some by iran's government-run defense industry. all are proof that iran has defined the international community, and not just one time. this evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior in which iran sows conflict and extremism in direct violation of u.n. security council resolutions. in just a minute, laura seal from our defense department will walk you through the items gathered here and explain their connection to the tehran regime. we welcome a thorough examination of this material, not just by members of the press here today, but by the international community. several countries will be sending delegations here to view this material in the next few days. some have already been here. we are inviting the entire u.n. security council to see it for themselves. and we are inviting all members of congress to view it. this evidence is part of what has led the u.s. intelligence community to conclude unequivocally that these weapons were supplied by the iranian regime. the evidence is undeniable. the weapons might as well have had "made

and more sanctions will, of course, mean more economic problems for iran and more problems for iran's leaders. >> how does the iranian media in your conversations with iranians, how do they respond to donald trump? >> well, overall, many people view president trump as an instable person, someone who is out there to destabilize the united states. but also as someone who is potentially very dangerous. because he is very erratic. and that is another characteristic, the difference -- the current u.s. president from iran's leaders -- the way iranians view it. because for a long time, iran was the unpredictable country in the region. now iranians, at least, feel as if the united states is the unpredictable country. and you never know what an unpredictable country and an unpredictable leader might do. so they -- they make jokes of donald trump. as you will see in many places. also in the united states. but at the same time, they are afraid of what he can do. >> pleasure to have you on, as always. >> thanks, fareed. >>> up next from ending protections for d.r.e.a.m.ers to this week's retweets

should disband, otherwise iran has a powerful security presence that keeps iraq weakand under iran's control, an accusation tehran denies. >> i think they would like to have a mirror image of the revolutionary guards in iran, or a mirror image of the hezbollah in lebanon. both of them are very popular in their countries. >> reporter: are they getting there? >> i think we are already there. >> reporter: one of iraq's top military officials disagrees. major general ghais al-hamdawi says what iran wants is a secure border and a stable neighbor free of extremism, not a building block in a shia crescent. >> ( translated ): but this doesn't mean they interfere in politics and sovereignty. it doesn't mean they interfere in domestic affairs. we are very careful to make our relationship with iran in accordance to the law, and with respect to the state, just like we do with saudi arabia, turkey, jordan, and the west as well. >> reporter: al-hamdawi says the many powerful factions of the p.m.f. who oppose the iranian government, led by powerful clerics like ayatollah sistani and muqtadar al sad

today it is iran. tomorrow it's something else, and this is like another justification for increasing and inflating the military budget. we talk about the spineless republican, a deal for trump, but we don't talk about the democrats who actually approved $80 billion in increase of military spending. america doesn't need that much money to spend on its military. it's like -- they are creating the demand and their supply. doing that, you know, people tell me, are you concerned about this? are you concerned how middle easterns of treated? no. as an american resident, like how so many -- problems, education, health, being cut just to feed the monster. positive feed the huge military budget. for what? does that benefit the american people? does that benefit us? it doesn't. it doesn't. >> i guess that's my point. there are a lot of people who didn't like the deal with iraq. a lot of people don't like iran. think iran is a bad player in the neighborhood but a hard one deal at least limited and contained some

and saudi arabia which is ten times that of iran and sprog says so because of that what happened what took place was a major escalation by iran not by the whole thesis that we had or has apparently especially after the first missile that hit back on the fourth of or that was down to riyadh back on the fourth of november of last month and this is another message sent out to the saudis to the americans after became haley the u.s. ambassador to united nations displayed with what she said and we will go against the problem we will go into the obligation as any and maybe and transfer to the iranian to this to the whole is the reason why asking this element go to hell is basically we're blocking a grim milestone which is basically one thousand days since the start of the conflict in yemen that. had a massive impact on people and on the country on its own and we're seeing more confrontation the saudis accusing the iranians of being involved providing the truth the use of ballistic missile as are you concerned this is something that might go on for ever in the region well i think thank you fo

government protests gain momentum in iran police use water cannon as a radiant demonstration for a second day running people are unhappy with rising prices on corruption but walk to the protest mean for the reigning governments will be speaking to an expert also coming up. the victims of a gun to stock on a coptic church in egypt are laid to rest the so-called islamic states has claimed responsibility for the attack in cairo. and they saved our views on the world we live in today as the year draws to a close we look back at some of the personalities and famous faces we lost in twenty seventeen. i'm out of donald thank you for joining us. authorities in iran have made arrests in the capital tehran following a second day of anti-government protests across the country social media footage from the western city of kermanshah showed police easing water cannon to disperse demonstrators reports say hundreds in says he had to protest against the high cost of living and corruption the u.s. president's donald trump has warned the iranian government to respect protesters rights to a saying that the
