the u.s. has formally designated iran's islamic revolution guards corps as a foreign terrorist organization. iran top security council designated the u.s. central command in the region as a terrorist group. more in the following report. donald trump took office in january, 2017. he has left no stone unturned to exact pressure on iran through sanctions and threats. trump road knows -- trump showed to achieve his anti-hereon goals. on monday, the u.s. president once again put the spotlight on his hostility against iran and designated the revolution guards corps as a foreign terrorist organization. trump accused the irgc of financing and promoting terrorism. his secretary of state also warned global businesses against any dealings with the irgc. >> businesses and banks around the world now have a clear duty to ensure the companies with which they conduct financial connections are not connected to the irgc in any way. >> political analysts say the trump administration has revealed the face of the

the u.s. government to provide assista e assistance. most in zimbabwe have already made disaster declarations. our best to everyone who is surviving and recovering from that event. the global water strategy was released on november 1st, 2017. it was the culmination of a year's work by many of the people in this room to set the direction for the united states government's work on international water issues. we addressed three major challenges in that strategy. the first challenge is that there are many countries where a significant portion of the population still lacks access to safe drinking water and sanitation. nearly two billion people worldwide lack access to water that is safe to drink and nearly four billion lack access to safely manage sanitation services. this is not only a threat to human health, but a factor in migration, civil unrest and terrorist recruitment. the second challenge is water insecurity. by 2030, more than half the world's population will still be living under water st

the u.s. must possess capabilities that are credible from the adversary's perspective. with credibility being a function of both u.s. capability and the will to exercise that capability. in essence, the will to go to war, possibly nuclear war in the defense of others. in addition, the u.s. commitment must be viewed as credible by our allies that we are seeking -- who we are seeking to defend and their views regarding the credibility of our security guarantees to them may differ. for example, our asian allies may have a different view of what it takes to assure them of our security commitment than our european allies. and even our european allies may hold different views among themselves. finally, of course, in the unlikely event that deterrence fails -- hopefully unlikely event -- obtaining and maintaining domestic support to actually employ nuclear weapons on behalf of an ally may be particularly challenging. especially if doing so exposes the u.s. homeland to a devastating counterstrike. the

the u.s. officials always be clear that they want to this year between lebanon and hezbollah between those sections and the economy and i think this is that of course but this is possible we cannot say we are safe but we are taking a lot of measures here internally and we are trying to keep safe the economy and the banking sector. the u.s. has offered military and economic support to lebanon despite hezbollah's growing political influence that may change with a more confrontational policy involving sanctioning hezbollah's allies who include the president and head of parliament so that there will be further u.s. action against his like sanctioning his plans political allies there is no doubt sanctions have already hurt his but for the live in a state not to be affected it will need to distinguish itself from his bill are the u.s. considers hezbollah as an arm of iran's revolutionary guards while it may have been created by the guards decades ago it has since embedded itself in the lebanese stat

the u.s.. by the altered between our two countries, it was an excess of $700 billion last year. inna's per capita income 1979 in purchasing power terms was approximately 300 u.s. dollars. it is not about 17,000 u.s. dollars -- now about 17,000 u.s. dollars. meaning, it is over 50 times larger than it was 40 years ago. no other country in the world has gone through that pace of modernization. one would think that this would be a cause for celebration of is u.s.-china relationship one of the most successful collaborations between two countries in human history, and yet, that is not the case. the foundation for destructive u.s.-china relations are more fragile now then at any time in the last 40 years. anytime in the last 40 years. it was not that they couldn't thiscile their ambitions, will increase the possibility of military confrontation. diverse resources from economic spending,t, military lead to a dangerous and costly arms or race, enhance the likelihood of nuclear proliferation, and incre

the chairman of the u.s. joint chiefs of staff testified to congress that by 2025, china will be the number one strategic rival of the united states, the number one strategic threat to the united states. well, i'm a career diplomat, retired now. and when i hear that china may be a threat to us in 2025 and i look at the facts, that is possible. but it's not a certainty, and that's what diplomacy is all about. i was serving in our embassy in moscow when all of a sudden dr. kissinger shows up in beijing, in a country that had been our enemy the day before, all of a sudden was on the road to becoming a strategic partner of the united states in dealing with the soviet threat. in other words, skillful diplomacy by president nixon and dr. kissinger managed to turn a hostile relationship into a cooperative one through diplomacy. but you don't hear a word about diplomacy nowadays. it's all about building up our military budget and dealing with china as a hostile rival. this is a dangerous situation, but the chinese ar
