policy on iran than they did criticizing iran itself. that was not good for us. now guess what, we now are about two years in. we and europe are completely on the same page when it comes it reacting to iran's nuclear program, reacting to iran's policy in ukraine company iran's support for russia's aggression in ukraine and for standing together shoulder to shoulder in expressing support for the arena people at this time when there confronting the violence of the regime. so that was critical and that's what we've done for the last 18+ but at a think we really have succeeded in recent kitchen what is a crucial if want to have a common front to push back against iran's destabilizing activities, human rights violation or nuclear program. number two, and you mentioned it, it is to prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. and that, this is not something we will walk away from. weekly and the president made that clear commitment he would not allow iran to acquire nuclear weapons. we are using many tools to get that. the preferred tool and bass that just our view i

what iran is choosing, the world is reorganizing itself. iran is choosing its partners. and it's short not the united states. it is very hard to see how negotiating a revival that for example iran has so many advanced centrifuges deployed now. breakout time under a deal if would redeploy the oneshe it has already is going to drop down to four or five months max. so you don't get much of a breakout. advertising and deals you have 12 months. it's not even close to it they said was the amount of breakout timeme. and yet they're going for it. itev is very shortsighted but ty are scared of the alternative. if you don't have a deal you have b war. and i think that is not true. >> trump proved it's not true. but what you do have is military escalation. iran is deterring us simultaneously in two ways but one with the threat of further enrichment of building a bomb. in two with their missiles and drones. theyey recognize they can turn p the heat regionally which art missile and drone attacks. we can overcome them but we have to do military buildup in the middle east at a time the

iran, it creates hesitation in iran to cheat. we need that. finally our policy post jcpoa is going to be a policy to keep iran from crossing lines, to build nuclear weapons, to create a clandestine enrichment plan. you have got to create hesitation in their mind. you have to have an incredibly robust military capability. >> [indiscernible] i was going to end by saying that you can't do any of that unless there is a deterrent military capability. >> israel is the point of the spear on that. it is incumbent on the united states to be fully supportive of israel's ability to do that. and stand with it if it does do it. >> i'm going to let the conversation end because i cannot think of a better point to stop. >> thank you very much.

iran, it creates hesitation in iran to cheat. we need that. finally our policy post jcpoa is going to be a policy to keep iran from crossing lines, to build nuclear weapons, to create a clandestine enrichment plan. you have got to create hesitation in their mind. you have to have an incredibly robust military capability. >> [indiscernible] i was going to end by saying that you can't do any of that unless there is a deterrent military capability. >> israel is the point of the spear on that. it is incumbent on the united states to be fully supportive of israel's ability to do that. and stand with it if it does do it. >> i'm going to let the conversation end because i cannot announcer: here is what is coming up on c-span. senate intelligence committee chair, countering china's alleged predatory trade practices. it is hosted by the information technology innovation foundation at noon eastern today. coming about 2:30 eastern, this coverage of the white house press briefing with the press secretary and national security council coordinator for strat

we talk about, you know, iran's position in the world and in the middle east, of course, iran has those influences in lebanon, yemen, iraq. and while the america and its allies would like to cattail that the j. c. p away was a way of perhaps bringing iran into line folk for want of a better word. these issues are very difficult to balance for the us right now. especially when administration's renee got an agreement and one can understand parents position about why they would want to shake hands at any level with the west and with the u. s. when these sorts of things are happening well there and stross duration with the j. c. p, o, a even under the obama administration, because many companies were reluctant to go to iran even after the j. c. p. away. so iran did not get as much of an economic boost that it was hoping for. and of course, the trump administration was simply a disaster when it came to relations with iran. apparently president trump really thought that he could effectively force the surrender of iran on its foreign policy . and of course, that didn't happen. and the mind adm

[chanting] [applause] reporter: last time iran in the usa matt was in 1998, and they were beaten by iran. but today the usa has beaten iran 1-0. they made it to the last 16. >> our correspondent reporting data from a joyful bar. for morn the u.s. victory over iran and the state of play, let's speak to the football commentator here in america, and just tell us, what does this mean for the u.s. team, reaching the last 16 of the soccer world cup? >> it means a lot. certainly a lot has been placed on ts new generation of players who were unable to make the last world cup in russia and for them to qualify in the way they always in dramatic american fashion that they always do at world cup's, i think is a big deal, a huge deal, especially given the fact that they were in a good position to get out of the group, but of course they always made it very difficult. so hopefully this game against iran will raise more interest for the game against the netherlands over the weekend, and of course raise more interest for the sport of soccer in this country. laura: for years it has seemed to me like in a

what does it mean to the people of iran? well, being counsel, since 2006 posts with every single person of the us council has been a lot of menus illusions. company. machine relations were. it was retiring, but today we can, we can use them really and because that is charge to colleagues, proves prison, proved procedure. the criminals and then intimation regional or national talk today's to us history called for the girls and boys who, who are crazy and the high last woman and sang the germans. why are the revolutionary guards cracking down so hard, especially on the kurdish regions of iran? well, decrease people since the subdisciplines of this time you probably they are perceived frame and as a hotel group because of the sub is probably yeah. if you remember 9. ready refresh whether you want to the gym or the course the tuesday. and since then you made a tour again, of course, and we see that the credit people going. i think there are also other minorities that make very nervous while the resistance and the mix of resistin

now on bbc news, iran: women rising. chanting the death of a young kurdish woman in iran has sparked unprecedented protest across the country. the security forces have cracked down but, weeks on, there is no sign of the protesters backing down. some of the biggest demonstration so far took place a0 days after mahsa amini died. the bbc can't operate freely in iran so we rely on people sending us videos from inside the country. this time, iran's tiktok generation are at the forefront of this challenge to the islamic regime. rights in iran. and the world 7 in early september, mahsa amini, a 22—year—old woman, and her brother, travelled from a kurdish city in western iran to visit the capital city, tehran, for the first time. but theirjourney takes an ominous turn. as soon as they get out of the metro station, mahsa amini faces the morality police, a force tasked with enforcing the strict islamic dress code on women in public. mahsa's clothes are deemed revealing. mahsa is detained and taken to a police station in tehran

as placed on iran over the supply of drones. so they're making it clear to, to run, they are very, very serious about not helping russia and in, in its war against ukraine. now these sanctions come, as the european union is still trying to revive the nuclear agreement with the wrong. will that affect these talks? well that depends a lot on how to ron reacts, and there's a lot of concern about that here in brussels. you officials have set on background that they look at the problems that the e u is having with iran relieve much of the world is having with iran right now with both the human rights repression and the supply of drones as we've been discussing. and they say it would not make sense to allow yet one more crisis to erupt even further. and that would be allowing iran to continue progress toward possibly creating a nuclear weapon. unrestricted. and so the e u says time and again, it believes the j c p o way can and should be resurrected. but today in his press conference for foreign policy rel said that that is still made

what does it mean to the people of iran? well, being the human council, since 2006 posts with every single person of the us council has been a lot of menus. oceans company, machine relations were, you know, it was retiring, but today we can, we can use them. and because that is charged to college proofs present, proved prescript criminals that need to missional regional or national talk. today's history called for the girls and boys who, who are crazy and hide the last moment and signed the germans. why are the revolutionary guards cracking down? so hard, especially on the kurdish regions of iran, well, decrease people since the subject of the public, they are perceived frame and hostile group because of the through the service. probably if you remember, some denied for any refrain whether you want to the gym or sorry, because the fuse and since then you made it to again the course and we see that the credit people and i think there are also other minorities. 3 may very well the resistance and the mix of resisting and especi

but with iran currently rocked by unrest. the games taking on even more political significance than usual from many iran fans. this world carpets become a rallying call for something bigger than foot bull. women lie freedom and no to the anti government protests going on back home. and that coal is extended to the team who stood silent during the anthem in that opening game. the players families have reportedly been threatened over the apparent act of solidarity. meanwhile, some protesters accused the team of not doing enough. the man fielding the questions around portuguese coach carlos. queer us is having to choose his words carefully either if you talk about 2, no human rights. gracie's a kids that day in schools. i would sure things we are fully direct with all those causes. but here, our mission is bring the smile for the, for the people, at least for nike mean queers was responding to a question about a social media post by the u. s. t. in it's the emblem of the islamic republic was removed from the iran flag. the post

and got out of that iran deal. and put economic sanctions on iran. looks like he saw the same with the palestinians, he cut off funding for palestinians, and he could see that abbas that they were playing money to terrorist activities. then, the biden administration reversed course almost across the board adopted obama policies, so now we have a situation where the palestinians are co committing more actions of terrorism against israelis and saudis moving toward z the chinese and russians you had more peace deals 4, during your prime minister ship than all of the prime ministers combined before you. sounds like we are headed in the wrong directed with lapid and biden administration. >> yes, for a quarter yo century. prevalent wisdom only way israel would break out to have more peace agreements with arab countries by having an agreement with palestinians, it may sound logical it was not, it placed an impossible barrier, palestinians didn't want peace with israel, they wanted peace without isr israel. they vetoed go peace agreements after the two with

manager. >> there was no avoiding the fact that the united states was coered by iran -- i mean the iran regime as opposed -- to the iranian people. there are a lotf iranians in the u.s. that like living in the u.s. but the orion regime considered as a great -- irani and regime considered us a great satan. itas difficult for us because as a coach, you have to use every motivational tool that you have two elevator team and -- motivate your team and i opted make it more about football and i ignored the clinical piece but if i were -- political peace but if i were to do it aga, behind closed doors, i would used -- use a political peace as a motivation. they were playing closed security -- plain clothes security guards. >> are north american correspondent is with fans in washington dc and am guessing the mood is good. >> it is very good but very unnerving. i can see you are exhausted. >> yeah, there's nothing like an emotional roller coaster but we are excited. as you can hear, it has been a lot and there is so much nervous tension and it will be a 45 minus -- minutes but feels like six hour

i'm a very big iran fan, even iran versus england, i cried. iran versus wales, when we scored, i cried. i really love this team. in four years, i'll be in the stadium, i'll play for the team. i hope so one day. it was very sad and depressing because it was a very boring game and they started really well, they were on fire, and then itjust went bumph. like, of course, i'm sad. yeah, but that's life. yeah. it was very tense. i feel like everyone was trying to block the other out, but it was fun. you know, at the end of the day, i mean, ifeel like every game is like this. it's notjust because it's iran and the us. i feel like there's a bit more tension there, but it was fun for me at least. the game was so intense and so close at the end. we could have... we could have won, but we didn't. it's just so unfortunate. so now it's only england and usa have qualifyied and not iran. they're a really good team. diplomatic relationship. they've cut ties for a0 years. they are geopolitical adversaries. and of course, all of this is going on while the antiâ

so the money 2 years ago. smoking demonstrations throughout iran at the time, iran's regional rival society reba and have all the branded god, who as a terrorist organization. for the german, for mister woods, run country to the current state of the relations with iran. as trade with iran is up 15 percent since january this year, which is almost $3000000000.00 euros in all this year with exports. iran increase to 2700000000 euros while you rein exports reach 700. 32000000 euros. gemini does, and does more trade with iran than any other member with 1200000000 euros in exports and the 100 that's 2000000 in imports. now let's cost life to political analyst and to research a chris for halle, christopher banks. the donors here are the now the us as us, strange relations with iran, with the you in particular, germany has prosperous income like towards the middle east country. so was you trying to hinder that? i think it's a combination of factors. number one, we've seen that the western mainstream media has been portraying the current special military operation in ukraine as also being as zone wh

well, the united states was considered by iran and when i say by iran i mean the iran regime as opposed to the iranian people. there's a lot of iranian americans in united states that love living in the united states but it was the iran regime that considered us a great satan and fifa and the united states soccer federation came to me and the rest of the team and wanted to make it about football. and it was very difficult for us because quite frankly, as a coach, you have to use every motivational tool that you have to motivate your team. and i opted to make it more about football and i ignored the political piece, but if i was to do all over again i would have, behind closed doors, obviously not publicly, i would have may be, use the political piece more as motivation to move forward. there was so much security in around that match they were plain—clothes security guards. for us and all of our families, there was enormous amounts of security in the stadium itself. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal is with fans in washington. i'm guessing the mood is pretty good. it i'm gues

kasia: this was iran's response. >> the islamic republic of iran deeply regrets that the human rights council is abused once again by some arrogant states and is not recognizing a sovereign u.n. remember state -- remember state -- member state committed to protecting human rights. this is appalling and disgraceful. kasia: let's remind ourselves of how all this started. 22-year-old mahsa amini died in hospital after she was arrested for wearing an improper hijab. this sparked protests in iran and there was a brutal crackdown by authorities. >> it's important for the international community to give that message to the iranian leaders, that killing women and children and slaughtering minority groups is not ok anymore and there will not be any business as usual. this is an important message not only for the future, but as a deterrent. we are hoping that iran's leaders and those in the streets who are killing and beating up people and torturing people inside prisons will take notice. kasia: while this was happening in geneva, this was happening in iran. these are images from the city into

and iran. there's no single answer to that question, but there's no doubt the country is involved in a game of geopolitical football. iraq has been a field of competition between the 2 countries. for decades, that competition as often being that the one. the animosity began with islamic revolution in 1979, although the 2 sites eventually found the common enemy said on the same. but when the long find miracles toppled in 2003, that the question after the collapse of there was some in direct cooperation i think between your own and the u. s. f. or any what? iraq floor new constitution for new political system. while your i'm back minutes in room. so i fact you as an iraq why push in form of the political allies to take he positions in the iraqi government. this allowed iran to secure and leverage that it never thought. all unix and long story the rules were different with the rise of i, so with the 2 sides finding a common enemy. once again that i'm already model for like, the tensions remain. th

those of us who are historians of iran. you know, the period in which baskerville arrives, that is the the years 1907 as being the period of the constitutional revolution, the culmination of a long, uh, development of political thought, uh, during the larger period of iranian history. orders are a dynasty that reign over, uh, iran. from the latter part, the 18th century, when they, um, you know, come to power in a, in a somewhat violent series of events. but, but quickly, you know, adopt, you know, as their, uh, uh their is on that, you know, to to modernize uh, iran to unite previously diverse sections of the country under the banner of developing iran as a nation which can hold its own in a newly in a world populated by by nation states. and it's, you know within this context of, the closures who find, you know, while not colonized like their neighbors to the east and india nevertheless, you know, the proxy by which uh, global events of global significance are being played out by the british, by the russians, uh, in parti

it for those of us who have been studying iran for 4 years and have been to iran and there have been frequently engaging with the people of iraq. this isn't surprising. and despite living under a theocratic hard line is the miss regime, the uranium people are emer, secular, in the middle east. and the, the numbers the numbers to suggest that and let only 26 percent of urban iranians say they pray 5 times a day. similarly, only 33 percent of radians, say they radians, say they follow the islamic prescription. iran society has undergone unprecedented secularization. and since 2017, it's been clear that the reigning people want regime change and lit 70 percent of men are opposed to the compulsory hedge of 74 percent of women are opposed to the compulsory job. and this is the significant point. 84 percent of those who are against the compulsory job. also one regime change. that's what we're seeing on the streets of iran today. people are demanding the downfall of these land republic in its entirety. this isn't about reform. this is about the downfall of harmonies regime. so would you say

iran. the european union is imposing new sanctions on the country. the measures target senior officials and some organisation e foreign ministers met today, brussels to discuss these sanctions. they are in response to iran's crackdown on anti government protests and to iran's alleged supplying of kamikaze drones to russia. the chief of iran revolutionary guard. and a company that makes drones, are among the targets of these sanctions. within 300 people have been killed in protest in iran. they were sparked by the death of a woman who was being held by the country's morality police are corresponded. terry schultz, she followed the meeting of e u foreign ministers in brussels to day. she sent us this, continuing to support ukraine against russia's aggression was the main issue on the foreign ministers agenda as a day. but there was also a lot of attention on iran, more than 30 individuals and organizations have now been placed on the sanctions list over 2 separate issues. the 1st is over the

we will have more on iran after headlines. brazil's far-right president jair bolsonaro has formally filed a petition with brazilian election authorities contesting the results of last month's runoff election, which he lost to former president luiz inacio lula da silva. bolsonaro has asked brazil's superior electoral court to toss out votes cast on older electronic voting machines claiming, without proof, that the machines are faulty. bolsonaro's request is expected to be rejected but could raise tensions in brazil ahead of lula's inauguration on january 1. in colombia, new peace talks have begun between the colombian government and the country's last remaining leftist guerrilla group, the national liberation army, or eln. colombia's first ever leftist president gustavo petro, who is a former member of the guerrilla group m-19, pushed for the negotiations to resume for the first time since 2019 in an effort to end nearly 60 years of conflict. this is danilo rueda, colombia's high peace commissioner. >> we believe that respect f

so we're seeing the women of iran, the use of iran, the brains everyone has had enough. do you think that there's a, a feeling of being torn to, you know, kind of like honor your iranian routes by routing for the team or feeling like that's routing for something else. instead, it's a very bitter sweet time for iran in americans. a lot of iranians are saying it's not a time to watch football or to celebrate anything of the way i see it though, as i feel that this is a chance for a team lead iranian team to shine a spotlight on what's going on with the people of iran, and there's going be a lot of eyeballs like game when, as iran plays, the usa job, ronnie says the world cup match can be a significant moment for iranians everywhere. i hope that there's some form of protest and some form of shining the light on what's going on. and iran amplifying the voices of iranian people that would bring joy to my heart. and i think it would bring joy to a lot of iranian americans in the diaspora. joy mixed with grief and concern with all eyes on a match. that is much more than again,

also coming up with more violence in iran, observers report large scale military action in a kurdish city in the country's west and at least 5 people are dead and more than a dozen of wounded in a shooting. at an elegy boutique united club in the us state of colorado. ah, i married evans dean, thanks for joining me. the mans football world comp has officially opened with the match between host could tar and ecuador. although several high profile stars refuse to perform the opening ceremony, it boasted a variety of local and international acts and was hosted by you as actor, morgan freeman. the headline performer was a pop star, sean cook, and a speech katara ruling. amir spoke of celebrating diversity at the tournament. well, ecuador beat katara, in the opening match the tournament, the host fail to threaten their south american rivals, who cruise to a comfortable to no victory, oh, catchall, began there, 1st, ever willed cut, match on the back foot. just minutes off to kickoff ecuador had scored, however, and a valencia's goal was surprisingly disallowed by the video assistant refer

he has been with iran at to the world cup 3 times. now, this is his 3rd time with aaron's national team. he said, this is what the team is about. they are playing for their country. they are playing for the fans. and that is exactly what they did to they and he was urging those who are not supporting this team not to get involved, not to post comments, not to make threats against the team. he said that really it's not about politics. it is about football yards or so, but it was a really gusty, a gutsy performance from the iranian players, given all the distractions off the fields. certainly, there are many, many distractions. and the 1st one being, whether they will sing along with the countries national anthem were not during the game with england. on monday, the national team players remain silent on the pitch when at the national anthem oberon was playing and they received the lot of both praise and criticism. but regarding that smooth and they now today they did appear to be singing along to the national anthem, and they seemed mu

a draw wouldn't be enough, so iran under but less pressure. but the usa came into this group with the ambition to go through to the knockout stage. and right now they have this grocery games against iran to secure that 2nd spot. u. s. a. at a very decent game, the last game against england with a new new draw. i think they will happy with it. and iran coming with a lot of momentum of this last minute victory against wales. so these teams played once before at a woke up, which was $998.00 in france. and in this game, they even exchanged flowers before the game and they post 4 photos together. the fee for later awarded both countries, the fair play award for that, and many iranians still seed as the biggest achievement in the history of their football. so they're really hoping that the iranians can replicate that today, but it will be a $5050.00 game. so you as a slight favorite, but iran could easily go through as well. ok, the other group be game is england against wales, england. the favorites are absolutely england. clear favorites here. wal

today a major general of iran was killed in damascus and iran is accusing israel of that. this is added to a number of iranians who were killed in the last 5-7 years in syria. so actually there is an ongoing, i would say, confrontation or actually war between iran and israel in syria come in the land of syria, basically. that is a major conflict between both sides. i think israel never dreamed of it because iran has been on the border. russia did offer israel -- without any kind of regret. basically what is happening now may complicate the relations between russia and iran, and russia -- on the other site it may improve relations between russia and israel. >> russia is pretty distracted with the roar -- war in ukraine. if turkiye did go into northern syria, how would russia react? it would be very vocal and disapproving, but there is very little it could do. >> absolutely, they have nothing actually to stop it. let's remember the point i raised already, russia wants to have good ties with turkiye, especially at the moment where turkiye is securing a good communication line

qatar and iran are geopolitical allies. one british or indian woman expressed concern that the qatari's could be cooperating with security forces and agents of the regime were present in the stadium. >> we were a bit scared of the news we heard from qatari offis saying they were going to check as thoroughly. so i had to cor my shirt. we went inside and we found other ople with the same idea being there. we found each other and we sort of chanted throughout the gate. but unfortunately, they have sent people from iran to silence us. there were thousands of them and i was honestly disheartened. almost crying because our voices were not being heard and we did not know what to do. as an iranian, it's very easy to spot them. it is clear they don't want us to be heard. and so ticking a fight with us when i was actually happy england scored, they were coming to me and trying to attack me saying, are you now in england fan? trying to pick a fight and intimidate me. >> nasa's artemis spacecraft has arrived at the moon and begun the f

it could lead to a war between iran and syria. obviously, the israelis would get involved, the united states made a decision on that, the obama administration not to get involved in serious civil war. but if tarkey does a hand and invades, there's going to be very hard for us to say out of it. and as you mentioned, we were to got american strokes. they're, they're not getting involved in the civil war. they're still trying to deal with isis on the, and the threats that to, to iraq. and as i mentioned before, we're hoping that turkey can play a constructive role and getting negotiations going over the ukranian not civil war . remember in july, even at the height of the ukrainian war, basically russia in moscow had they had the charts in the syrians together to try and come up with some sort of solution. but their position is weakened because of what's happening in ukraine. and lawrence, i'm very brief on see if you, if you would, the, as we said earlier, the s t f in alliance of local syrian opposition fighters founded by the u. s.
