arriving in tehran to push for deescalation facing. swer multiple entangled crises all centering on iran economic sanctions a nuclear deal in disarray and rising tensions with the u.s. has welcomed by iran's foreign minister mohammad serif talks went over time afterwards spoke repeatedly of war. even new tension in our region as a result of the economic war the united states declared against iran. that the only way to decrease tensions in the region is to stop the economic war. one cannot expect an economic war to continue against the iranian people and but those waging this war and those supporting it remain say. responded continuing the references to war week there is war in syria and in yemen fortunately not here. and i want to do everything we can to keep it that way but nevertheless the tensions here in the region are worrying what a contrast to the optimism of 2015 when iran agreed to limit its nuclear ambitions in the lead mark deal in return international sanctions on iran would be lifted i'll put under president donald trump t

plans a response tehran claims the u.s. violated its airspace washington maintains the drone was in international airspace and denounces the incident as an unprovoked attack on a comes at a time of heightening tensions between washington and tehran. funding the republicans like the shooting down of the u.s. drone was announced on iranian state television. they did not immediately broadcast any pictures of the attack but showed instead a file image of the type of drone they said had been hit by an unmanned surveillance aircraft he used the gathering imagery of large areas of land in all weathers the commander of iran's elite revolutionary guard said they had destroyed the drug because they wanted to send a strong message to the us. i don't know those who defend the border of the islamic nation of iran will react in a total and decisive way to any intrusion by foreign elements on our land he would offer only. my our borders how are our red line an enemy that violates our borders and will not return and will be destroyed he go

recently announced it wants to renegotiate with iran but tehran says the u.s. has not shown good faith. whenever they stop cruelty against their own nation put aside the cruel sanctions fulfill their commitments and return to the negotiating table which they themselves left the road is not closed for them. the road is open how much. does president trump has made clear over the past year the u.s. is unlikely to agree to any of that and trust among the parties is in short supply . so that's the overview in the middle of all that we've got the german foreign minister flying into tire on trying to trying to do something what can possibly achieve here simon with his visit to tehran what's at stake for germany and the other signatories to the around their clear deal yeah hi kimo says he believes in the power of just diplomacy he's talking about dialogue and deescalation just keeping the talking going he immediately said that the notion of less for less is not acceptable in other words no watering down of the deal go to keep it going as best they can he said there sho

iran is really planning to do anything against americans will list latest development really deter tehran from action. excellent question if you look at the iranian foreign policy in the east. 20 years 18 or 20 years you can see that they have developed what they think is a deterrence capability day have networks of militia organizations their own militia organizations that have been trained and supported by iran and defame king is that in case there is a retaliation about there is a retaliation against iran by the united states iran can be tallied not from its own soil but from the soil of other countries this was the law into our logic behind creating because the law in 198182111 the logic was that you're going to train an army has one law you're going to give it striking capability in case. iranian facilities you might have the capability to strike against this story that is the logic behind what they're trying to do and the united states is sending a very clear message that they are aware of this and there are going to retaliate for swirly and hopefully as a result of what has happene

actually moss' path goes through tehran that's where his trip ends and where he's looking to keep iran on track with the deal and away from a nuclear weapon. so a foolish edgel there for hike on mars in on his middle east trip but possibly the most delicate part of the trip will be his visit to iran to talk more about that in more detail i'm joined by about the by is an expert on iran and heads germany's capos center thanks for joining me how much influence can german foreign minister have in tehran with the nuclear deal now on shaky ground. i think we have to be realistic here germany germany's position itself might not be so fissions to really influence the situation in a way that is that we can safeguard the agreement but i think if the foreign minister who must speak on behalf of these 3 and conveys a strong political message from the 3 from the european countries france germany and great britain to teheran and that can be important and that will be an important signal to try and see what can be done to save the cure agreement the u.s. has impose new sanctions on iran yesterday and
