regardless of what iran says. now the reason that they've done this is their reaction to the assassination of martin for his other. this is their initial 1st reaction. there will be another response we keep hearing from parliamentarians and lawmakers, but also there's allegations by the conservative camp. the i.a.e.a. inspectors are spies now that's been rejected by the reformist camp, which headed by president hassan rouhani. foreign minister, divides reefer said actually the intelligence that came for the assassinations of iran's nuclear scientists came from israel and mustard. so this is very significant that this has passed, but it isn't the end of the story. it doesn't mean that it's going to happen straight away and said many thanks indeed live in a 2nd u.s. drug maker. but donna has announced that it's asking regulators there and in the european union for emergency approval for its covert 19 vaccine. madonna says that its final trial results confirm that it's more than 94 percent effective. it's a week behi

trump wants to maximize the pressure on iran. during this period and that certainly would be encouraged i think by israel netanyahu and it would serve as a distraction from both countries both for israel and the u.s. but it's very dangerous distraction could be very costly. iran has lots of weapons non-nuclear sophisticated. missile technology it could if they so decided inflict tremendous damage on israel incidence of course they would suffer tremendous retaliate tory consequences and so i'm quite sure they don't want that to be the preferred scenario but if things get out of and as they sometimes have is. there is this danger and i think trumps recklessness is being challenged in washington by the more experienced security bureaucracy that wants a calm transition and not a fiery transition but i do understand your correctly that because he is written before that the biden destruction is very unlikely to change course on any of the trumps. have pro israel policies i mean it's unlikely that you know the embassy back it's unlikely

of iran so he was not looking to change the regime in iran. washington's new efforts to bring iran to the negotiating table page 25th enough to several years of talks iran agreed to strict conditions and transparency controls on its nuclear program in return for an easing of international sanctions the 5 permanent members of the u.n. security council plus germany played a key role in the negotiations. this nuclear deal meets the national security interests of the united states and our allies it prevents the most serious threat. of turning a nuclear weapon which would only make the other problems that may cause even worse . that's why this deal makes our country and the world safer and more secure obama looked at the middle east as a region that had always complicated u.s. foreign policies and he was looking to try and find a way of getting us out of the middle east quagmire that he saw it with whether it's with iraq or whether it's with afghanistan or the broader regional conflict and i think he thought that trying to get a resolution of the n

iran accused israel of orchestrating the killing, which iran says may have been conducted by an automatic remote-controlled machine gun placed inside an empty vehicle. iranian president hassan rouhani said iran will retaliate at the quote, proper time. >> this brutal and cowardly terror attack showed that our enemies have experienced weeks of anxiety, whethey feel theirtress has be reduced and global conditions are changing. amy: many analysts say the assassination of the iranian scientist was designed to make it harder for president-elect joe biden to rejoin the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement with iran, which president trump withdrew from in 2018. we'll have more on iran after headlines. ethiopia's prime minister said saturday his military had taken complete control of the capital of the northern tigray region, capping a three-week offensive against separatists that forced tens of thousands to flee to sudan amid reports of mass atrocities. ethiopian prime minister ab ahm, who won e nobel ace prize in 2019, refused international demands for talks with the tigray people's liberation front

iran however this is significant because i'm a little clearly it means that iran has very little taste for dealing with the west and certainly now with the biden administration and i think that that was actually the motive. given this time period in this limited time period if he couldn't get the united states to initiate attack and attack at least he could get that lay the groundwork so that the climate and the foundation for any future discussions and moment with the iranians particularly by the by the administration toward. trying to renew for example the jason p.o. way or the iranian nuclear agreement just just wouldn't happen and i think you may have succeeded. this is as a nation comes just a week or so after u.s. secretary of state might pump over solly highly secretive meeting between israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and saudi crown prince mohammed bin from salma do you believe these events are connected and what do you believe is behind the timing of this is that the nation politically. it's very difficult to believe that there was no connection here in the with. neta

israel, the one country whose spies might actually know more about iran than iran knows about itself. has had this to say. i have no clue who did it is not that my lips are sealed because i'm being responsible. i really have no clue. and the united states, the same united states that kicked off 2020 with an open assassination of iran's top general has been completely mute this time. and it would be perfectly fine given the total lack of evidence and nation thousands of miles away from iran had anything to do with the killing except in the past 2 weeks. several unconfirmed reports claim that donald trump was seeking options to attack iran to further detail its nuclear program. factories that there would make a perfect target given he was quite a celebrity for israeli intelligence. remember the moon 5 years ago. so here's this directive right here. and uses the general loom is to announce the closure project on mars. but then the special activities, you know, what that is, special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments. and in fact, this is ex

and the destabilization of iran. and they felt that to gain any kind of. diplomatic and material support for that pro or to. made it worthwhile to. be seen as a betrayer of the palestinian cause and that betray though which i think is felt by the population in these kind of arab. countries that have not abandoned the palestinian struggle so you do have this kind of tension between these regimes and their people on this issue and they were bets what must have been them from doing this openly earlier they were cooperating with israel unscary the regional issues earlier this was. making it explicit now i've heard the same before and one of the reasons the arab states fear iran so much is because it has become the primary threat to our political arrangements particularly dynastic governance i use actually saying that iran is feared because of its quote unquote democracy. not democracy but it's anti none are minor key views i had this meeting with khomeini back in 1970 known a long time ago where he compared the saudi dyn

it's an iran would have a pathway to washington. and that's what this assassination is aimed at preventing . and what about the role of israel in this? there has been talk over the weekend by some analysts saying that israel may be forced. this is sansa nation in order to force the hand of the next president joe biden, a bit. how do you see that? now i believe certainly, i mean the israelis are trying to create as many obstacles as possible for by that strain. to be able to restart negotiations with iran and we have seen in the past that assassinations of this kind tended to take place at sensitive moments where there was a likelihood of some form of a diplomatic breakthrough. they did not happen at moments in which an assassination of this kind would have really set back the nuclear program. and i think in other asked me that comes through all of this is that it's very unlikely that the trumpet mr. asian was not either giving a green light or some support for this, but netanyahu must also have calculated that biden does not have th

but there is differences within iran. now we've just had the foreign ministry spokesman say that they don't agree with this, that this is neither helpful or necessary. and that follows on from the head of the, i.a.e.a. grossly saying that this is not helpful. and the world needs us. surance is that iran's nuclear program isn't being diverted for military use. and iran's role is rejected that the nuclear program isn't being diverted. so there is a difference between the reformists here in iran, headed by president has and ronnie and the conservatives who have a majority in parliament. so this motion will go to the guardian council. and if they agree, if the supreme national can supreme national security council agree, then it will pass and it gives the united states and europe around 2 months. so president joe biden to get into office and to see if he's going to do anything about the situation. lift those sanctions on the oil and banking sector. if it doesn't, then this comes into place. specters will be blocked and uraniu
