two days after biden said he wanted america to restart negotiations on iran, iran agreed to do some checks. so far, so good. or is it? biden also insisted iran go back into the deal. iran is also cutting video access to nuclear inspectors. it is obvious that neither side trust each other, but who cares about trust? this was a transaction, in return for sanctions being lifted, plus the normalization of economic relations. can they do it again? today we are talking to a doctor who teachers middle east politics at the university of cambridge, and the author of blood and oil, a member of iran from the shop the ayatollah. a journalist for bloomberg covering national security, he has been covering this issue for a very long time. it is great to have you both with us. i want to start out mentioning president biden has given a speech at the munich security conference. >> that is why we said we are prepared to reengage in negotiations with the p5 plus one on iran's nuclear program. we must also address iran's destabilizing activity across the middle east. we are going to work in close cooperation w

travel to iran way met with the fall.

iran? the main conclusion is that nothing has really worked well with iran iran just doesn't really respond either to friendship and hostility from the united states. engagement. there have been four major efforts of engagement. carter and obama. none of them produced anything aside from small agreements here and there. mainly because radical forces inside your iran continued to veto these efforts, they are still there now, maybe stronger than they have been in recent years. so engagement has not really been successful so far. i think its prospects right now are very limited. >> secondly, coercion. the main u.s. effort that coerced was the georgia liu bush administration. like i explained a minute ago. this went nowhere. in fact it was quite harmful to the united states. hundreds of u.s. personnel killed, with iranian fingerprints, and not be stopping to the iranian nuclear program at that period. so coercion also has not worked in the past. so this brings us to containment. i would say the

well it's important because iran has threatened let's say the iranian column and has also asked for iran to suspend the control of the international atomic agency and this is of course a violation not only of the iran nuclear deal but also of other nonproliferation agreements that iran has subscribed to and so these negotiations were an important signal they were also an important signal because. there is some sort of international arrangement of international mechanisms still alive. and of course the rainiest know that your business they know that the americans are nervous they know that everyone in the region is nervous and they themselves have the problem that the iranian government doesn't want to give in to the pressure of certain hardline factions in the parliament that dominate the parliament and so they somehow want to show that they're still in control they're still in charge and they're still willing to negotiate so clearly somebody is talking about the prospects of a renewed nuclear deal is it going to happen and who needs it most. well the world needs it it's been a remarkabl

in iran . they were, i need i even came across one newspaper where the headline that we regret to have no news from persia. that was the headline in philadelphia or boston i forget in 1720. the leading story was we're sorry, we don't have any news iran . you don't expect to find that going in and the reasons for that are complex but very briefly, iran was 80 news story, there was a rebellion against the persian empire in 1722 afghans, the rebellion in these the persians were trying to force afghans to convert sunni to shiite islam . the americans assumed that because of the sunni shia they must have been colluding with the ottoman empire which was of course the evil empire with the barbarous charts and the court say and had only started because the persians and ottomans were rivals , the great powers of the muslims they, and he must be my enemy, they all hated the evil turks and the fact that they were shia and therefore viewed by the majority sunni world is somehow less muslim and heretics, ma

is not looking for mutual understanding with iran rather it wants iran submission either by force or it's carrots and stick diplomacy number 2 iran will never fall for the u.s. is assurances again good luck that good luck is a little ominous where should we start a do you know i just suit i want to do not is take you back to march 28th just to revisit what has happened in the last 23 years and so this is where in a chump administration they left the nuclear deal generally the fall for iran resumes 20 percent of the ringing in a room in richmond and then by family the 7th that says this year u.s. president joe biden says that he wants to return washington the deal but he hasn't lifted sanctions quite yet when will that happen and february 21st on sunday iran agreed that the international atomic energy agency could continue limited checks on its nuclear program so that is where we are right now but they are essential difference in opinion as to who does well 1st and if the sanctions 1st or do you use top your nuclear enrichment 1st u.n. enrichment 1st who goes 1st how do you know so th

chief who's in iran right now want to reach with iran well just a few minutes ago the iran's a representative to the i said that the meetings with mr goss who were fruitful however he is trying a gross is trying to continue to to guarantee that the inspectors are going to continue their work normally in iran this is one now with putting aside the whole thing the additional protocol this is cities that are working for 24 hours and most of the iranian nuclear sites are going to be stopped beside the on. the on announced visits to the nuclear sites and some other type of sites are going to stop so these issues are going to. create a hoarder for the. efforts to safeguard iran's nuclear program what as they are they want to guarantee it's not going to have a kind of a military dimension and this was all part of also the j c p u a now regarding the. protocol this was outside yet it was mentioned also in the in the in the in the deal the imposed on iran to ratify this deal within 8 years now the iranians are still trying to play within the framework of what they can do within the way now in the end

concessions from iran iran will take steps that it's impossible biden scored among though is that iran stop enriching uranium beyond the limits set in the nuclear deal 20 percent why is that so hard to comply with. well the americans have a they have a very short memory collectively speaking the lady ask we know if they can bring iran back to the table it wasn't iran that left the negotiating table it was the united states that left it wasn't iran that stopped implementing the deal it was the united states that stopped it and under obama the united states by the way never implemented the deal this is another issue for iran under obama the united states did not implement the deal when the agreement was signed the iranians immediately went and abided by all its commitments and i think that was probably a mistake because the americans began dragging their feet and until the very final day when obama was in office the united states had not implemented its side of the bargain it only implemented bits and pieces so now what the iranians are saying is that you left the table we abided by the

the united states and iran have be on chan image for decades now and once again tensions are running high the question is can the incoming bite the ministration and the devalued it leadership in terror on renegotiate the nuclear agreement that donald trump walks away from in 2018 and what price certainly a lot hinges on what the 2 sides choose to do next so here on to the point where i ask iran and america is a new nuclear deal possible. reforms very much indeed for joining us here on to the point where my guests are soraya sarhaddi nelson a u.s. and iranian journalist based here in berlin who says any new iran nuclear deal that the bible administration negotiates will require concessions to tehran that will host the president. also with us is cornelius out of our from the german council on foreign relations his opinion the europeans need to seize the moment to reinvigorate diplomacy 1st on the euclid file then on regional security and a very warm welcome to tucson you know gala editor in chief old sleeve middle east quarterly senate who argues that the middle east needs a new framew

iran has not responded. it is iran it is isolated diplomatically, not the united states and the ball is in their court. carley: iran says they're not going to the table unless the united states lifts sanctions first so what happens? >> clearly iran is not isolated diplomatically if we are to believe reports in fox news and the washington times about the dialogue iranian officials have had with us citizens that were not officials in the last administration. iran is clearly calling the shots. we are absolutely lunatics if we think that iran is going to unwind its enriched uranium and reduce its centrifuges which all exceeded the limits from the outset. additionally the united states made a great error in 2015 with iranian human rights, to get them to pull back, to get rid of the rainy and influence in syria, yemen, iraq, totally undermined by iran at this time and this is retaliation for the united states targeted -- the spymaster soleimani and leader of all kinds of mayhem in the world on the behest of iran.

is iran because from the beginning iran has met all of its commitments they violated their commitments we have the right to set the conditions if they want iran to return to the chase e.p.o. commitments the u.s. must remove all sanctions and not just in words and on paper they must remove all sanctions in practice then they will return to our commitments this is the definite policy of the islamic republic and all are running officials agree with that and we won't change this policy because castro is in washington d.c. she says biden has bipartisan support on the decision to not lift sanctions. the white house official told al-jazeera today that president biden quote certainly will not be removing these sanctions from iran just to get iran back to the negotiating table and republicans are supporting president biden in not lifting these u.s. sanctions 1st senator lindsey graham saying that it must be 1st iran that changes its behavior so certainly the stalemate continues even as we know that the background of all of this is that the by the administration wants to renegotiate the nuclear

and other security council states but to iran wants the economic sanctions lifted 1st. turan says if the sanctions are not gone by tuesday they will suspend some nuclear inspections by international observers. but the button administration says sanctions relief is not on the table. and for more on this i'm joined now by jad he's the author of an upcoming book iran in an emerging new world order and joins us from berlin mr nugent thanks for joining us the u.n. has an inspector back on the ground in iran talking with officials there and the american president joe biden is calling for careful diplomacy this is a big change isn't it. well i mean we're still in a transition period so we're not you know sure about the trajectory of those developments but regarding the i.a.e.a. director general's visit to tehran today it is surely trying to talk to the iranian leadership in terms of the step that iran has announced for next week that is to stop to suspend unannounced inspections by i.a.e.a. inspectors and so he's willing to make sure that the agency can still do its very very

officials talking about a review of policy towards iran neighbor iraq wants going on there. well this is a very interesting aspect and it's part of this whole emerging diplomacy of the biden administration now the secretary of state tony blinken has confirmed that his department is reviewing the relationship with iraq and the nature of that particular relationship now included in that could possibly be a rip you off the sanctions that the trump administration imposed on the amount of energy for example that iran could buy from iran part of being consumed you couldn't pull the revision on that and lifting the level of energy resources that iraq could buy from iran now what this would do is so big number of things number one it would throw an olive leaf towards iran without doing so directly it is doing so through iraq assisting iraq it's this kind of somewhat come through to permit seat that is fascinating as one watches the bite in the ministration start formulating a new policy based on the policy of the past remembering as well that joe biden himself was vice president dur

inspections of its nuclear facilities but iran 1st want to do. ali from oil and banking sanctions for now grassley has secured an extension of sorts we reached a temple. by lateral. understanding well. the agency he's going to continue. and money towing activities for a period of up to 3 months but across he conceded that the un's watchdog will have less access than before iran's foreign minister mohammad zarif has already said tehran will restrict access to security cameras at nuclear sites it is clear that they won't get a foot. as long as the united states has not come back to full implementation of its agreement so leaf is also demanding compensation for sanctions he claims caused one trillion dollars worth of damage to iran's economy. under the terms of the agreement with world powers reached in 2015 the i.a.e.a. can inspect nuclear facilities in the country at short notice but after the usa unilaterally withdrew from the deal and re imposed sanctions 2 years ago iran suspended compliance with most of its key commitments under the pact thank

with itself but also iran's relationship with the west particularly america and the u.k. we can draw a direct line from 1053 to the 1979 revolution when the coup happened was that that was overthrown for control of iranian oil and the shah was put in place was much more amenable in dealing with the west he became a man in iran in the middle east for thought well for the americans and that you know to support him to stay in power he became a kind of absolute monarch dictator and that blew up in the 79 revolution and iran's relationship post revolution and the toxic relationship it has particularly with america to this very day to this very hour right now is rooted in 53 and walter people obviously know your your work on the godfather and the conversation apocalypse now how do you become involved in this film. i met toddy in 2012 in new york i was working on another documentary then about the search for the higgs bows on talk he graduated in physics from nottingham university we met at a gentleman's apartment who was investing both in the the particle physics film and in 3

who did not speak or anyone was only in iran for 3 weeks what was your. daughters who had essentially been in iran for 10 years well to tell you thank you so much thank you thank you ma'am iranian will to much speaking to going underground to be added to charlie cook there and you can watch who 53 online now mike who 53 years old that's up to his shoulder back on wednesday to do don't subscribe to the child on you tube and join the underground on twitter piecework telegram instagram and some. debate is is it fair for transforming our fleets to compete in women's categories and sports. as a society we've decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely do not think that it's fair for athletes that form porn as biological males to compete in the women's category. why do we have gendered sports do you have gender categories and sports because we do treat men and women differently. every single beat athletes will we all have biological advantages over each other. are losing means a lot to me and i think trends are the sticking point here is a call to do

iran never left the deal. iran is in the deal. iran has reduced some of its commitments in line with the deal. the way to go back to full compliance on the part of iran is for the united states, which has totally deft the deal, to come back and implement its obligations. now, it's clear it's a decision that president biden and his advisers need to take. whether they want to break with the failed policies of president trump or whether they want to build on his failures, if they want to build on his failures, they will only get failure as a result. >> let me ask you something that, you know, am i reading this correctly. there have been demands in the past that in addition to the united states coming back into the deal, iran should be compensated for the u.s. withdrawal. is it fair to read the khomeini statement as saying, no, the demand for compensation is not live anymore. the only issue is that the united states needs to waive the sanctions? >> well, the united states need to lift the sanctions, not waive them. the u.s. needs to r

and that was ruled by the shot of iran. that was as pillars of american foreign policy, in the gulf and the shaw was the much more powerful regional state at the time. and when the iranian revolution occurred in 1979, this post a tremendous difficulty and challenge to the united states, to its foreign policy in the gulf. and to a certain extent saudi arabia took up that role or took on a greater responsibility as an american ally in the gulf. the saudis at that moment, were experiencing their own difficulties and challenges. some of you may not, there was a seizure of the grand mosque in mecca, islamic missed militants also in 1979, and an uprising in the eastern province in the eastern part of saudi arabia. and that was globalizers by the iranian revolution as well. so some background there to the to that relationship among the united states and saudi arabia as well. >> so the question, maybe can somebody get another card up here. okay kid you seem to imply earlier, that the saudi iranian conflict, is less over religion an

is insisting that negotiations can only be resume when iran returns to the context of the 2015 deal iran as you heard absolutely adamant that it will not change until the u.s. lift sanctions have been negotiations can begin the u.s. administration approaching this very cautiously making clear though and in the course of the day we heard from the national security adviser reiterating the u.s. position that firstly it will not allow iran to develop a weaponized nuclear program but secondly the way to prevent this according to the u.s. is via negotiation process we also heard on thursday from president biden that he's keen to get a resumption of negotiations within the ambit of the european union together with some partners in that 2015 deal like germany and russia france so he is implying that the u.s. wants to follow a route of not not bilaterally of bilateral negotiations not unilateral relations so this is an interesting indication of the way the u.s. is going but remembering at this particular stage they are attempting to formulate all reformulate a new policy that fell away completely

iran cannotjust cheat on the united states, iran is cheating on those countries, and those countries should put sanctions in place, should make demands on tehran. the us walked away, iran stayed in it. those other countries are still in it and they should demand that iran comply. iran and the us have been on opposite sides since 1979, the islamic revolution. will they ever find a way of coexisting? well, the regime cannot coexist with the united states and stay relevant. its whole foundation is to resist the united states. if the regime simply made the hijab optional, meaning did not have to wear it if you did not want to, the regime would collapse — that's how fragile this regime is. this regime's been in place for 42 years and in 42 years, they have used this playbook of provocations or concessions, and they are hoping that playbook works with the biden administration. and we're seeing the biden administration tested in yemen, tested in iraq and tested now with these new — these new rules that they're putting in place with the iaea, meaning they cannot have snapback, or snap in

iran never left the deal. iran is in the deal. iran has reduced some of its commitments in line with the deal. the way to go back to full compliance on the part of iran is for the united states, which has totally deft the legal, to come back and implement its obligations. now, it's clear it's a decision that president biden and his advisers need to take. whether they want to break with the policies of president trump or whether they want to build on his failures, if they want to build on his failures, they will only get failure as a result. >> let me ask you something that, you know, am i reading this correctly. there have been demands in the past that in addition to the united states coming back into the deal, iran should be compensated for the u.s. withdraw. is it fair to read the hamane statement as saying, no, the remand for compensation is not live anymore. the only issue is that the united states needs to waive the sanctions? >> well, the united states need to lift the sanctions, not waive them. the u.s. needs to remove the

and iran really is stay tuned for that. to the point of strong opinions isn't a clear position some international perspective some of the temperatures are once again rising between the u.s. and iran so we'll go to college enemies be able to renegotiate the around nuclear deal the double trump turned his back only choice year old will the downward spiral continue find out on to the point. to the point. the next the t.w. . the co with 19 have to make us change the way we were in the movie office early home office and this may lead to big calls too little exercise at home has serious consequences for young and old would watch can really help ease the pain. because there are a lot of middle. good shit. in 60 minutes of g.w. . bush forced into a nameless mass. their bodies are near jewel. the history of the slave trade is of africa's history. describes how the greed for power and profit plummeted and entire continent into chaos and violence. this is the journey back into the history of slavery. our documentary series slaver. rou

that iran began to scale back its commitments also seen as breaches by the i.a.e.a. and some other countries to the 2015 nuclear deal and this is the latest step and this latest step came after the assassination of iran's and leading nuclear scientist mohsin fuckheads out there and the iranian parliament passed that bill not initially president has and rouhani and farmers who developed the reef had opposed that bill but ultimately said that this was the constitutional process that they have to implement it now what that means is the i.a.e.a. will no longer be able to carry out the inspections they will lose the ability they currently have the ability to money to nuclear sites certain nuclear sites 24 hours online and those cameras will be taken offline but iran says they will continue to record the footage for 3 months and if the united states returns to the deal and if those sanctions they'll hand that footage over if they don't then that footage will be lost in the a year will have no access to it but the i.a.e.a. says that it's inspectors will remain in the countr

with itself but also iran's relationship with the west particularly america and the u.k. we can draw a direct line from 1053 to the 1979 revolution when the coup happened mossad that was overthrown for control of iranian oil and the shah was put in place was much more amenable in dealing with the west he became a man in iran in the middle east for thought well for the americans and that you know to support him to stay in power he became a kind of absolute monarch dictator and that blew up in the 79 revolution and iran's relationship post revolution and the toxic relationship it has particularly with america to this very day to this very hour right now is rooted in 53 and walter people obviously know your your work on the godfather and the conversation apocalypse now how do you become involved in this film. i met toddy in 2012 in new york i was working on another documentary then about the search for the higgs bows on talk he graduated in physics from nottingham university we met at a gentleman's apartment who was investing both in the particle physics film and in 3 and be

officials have also been talking about a review of iran's neighbor iran what's that about its. well that's a very fascinating aspect that has emerged in the recent days the secretary of state said that he's reviewing a u.s. relations with iraq how to make them better how to improve them where they've gone wrong now in terms of that to review it's likely that the secretary of state is also looking at the fact that iraq buys energy resources from iran now the trump administration placed a limit on the amount of resources that iraq could buy raising the possibility that the u.s. may lift that ban on iraq obtaining energy resources from iran and in so doing offer a olive branch to iran without dealing with it directly dealing with iraq instead so this is a potential avenue that may be explored as the u.s. begins to formulate or reformulate a coherent policy towards iran and of course to iraq. can of there bring us the latest in washington d.c. thank you very much in deed let's get the view from iran now it or certain jabari joins us from teheran. earlier rainy and officials were sa

iran has agreed to allow limited u.n. nuclear inspections for 3 more months on the head of the international atomic energy agency negotiated the temporary agreement at crisis talks in tehran it could give negotiators some breathing room as they struggle to revive the 2050 nuclear deal between iran and will power. for rafael grossi the clock was ticking the moment he touched down in tehran he faced an imminent deadline to convince the rainy and leadership to drop a new law that would suspend u.n. inspections of its nuclear facilities but iran 1st wanted relief from oil and banking sanctions for now grassley has secured an extension of sorts we reached a. buy lateral technique of understanding well by the agency he's going to continue this is that even if he gave and money towing activities for a period of up to 3 months but across he conceded that the un's watchdog will have less access than before iran's foreign minister mohammad zarif has already said tehran will restrict access to security cameras at nuclear sites it is

from having a nuclear program and the whole world knows that iran is dedicated to achieving a. weapon of mass destruction it's not an invention. the fact that it was prevented through the years due to various activities that were taken by the whole world especially the sanctions of president obama there get his term now trumps sanctions so i don't think there's any doubt that iran is trying to build the bomb it's not even something that is in dispute let's talk about israel and the palestinians mr mr biden is already calling for a holt to what he calls unilateral actions including israeli settlement activity in the west bank and demolition of palestinian homes are you going to do if he asks i haven't heard any anything from the american administration the new. ministration about them and the policy of the united states for many many years was against settlements but during the time of president it was an amazing shift within the story change and for the 1st time the history of your relationship with our best ally united states ministration made clear that settlements are illega

iran opposed that all along. the united states had also announced today it has reversed that incision and is not claiming those sanctions are in effect. a minor concession quietly happening behind the scenes at the united nations. also removing some travel restrictions on diplomats which seems to be a minor concession perhaps to entice the iranians back to the negotiating table and by way of background, very publicly, joe biden said all along he was opposed to the united states withdrawing from the nuclear deal, however was putting the onus on iran to come back into compliance in order for talks to happen. public officials telling us this is seeing an announcement of the meeting would be necessary in order for the sides to work out what it would take for both sides to get back into compliance. it is significant in that they are agreeing to talk. the united states is not painting this as a concession in anyway way but says in order for both sides to come into compliance, there has to be discussion and they are wil

with iran and with. all the countries involved but we have very much against repeating the same mistake that was done by the previous administration during obama's time which was very very grim and both the world and to israel. negotiating a new agreement it's something that must be. encouraged the result should be different from the 1st time my question is how does that serve the interests of your country accusing the obama administration which biden served as vice president of appeasing iran well it's not a secret we were very much. opposing a bomber's policy is the prime minister netanyahu appeared. physically in the american congress explaining why it's a big mistake and the mistake was the effort to appease the iranian hoping that this policy of engagement would bring them to be part of president obama be part of the family of nations well it didn't happen because of years past we still see the same behavior the same terrorism encouraged the same indorsement of radical groups in lebanon. iraq syria

program now iran rejected that they said this is the deal on the table iran iran's missile defense program is non-negotiable they see as a vital part of this security now president joe biden hasn't said that this is a bad deal but he hasn't returned to and he hasn't lifted those sanctions those trump era sanctions against iran now this will be viewed inside iran by many that there's no difference between the republicans or the democrats when it comes to how the hostility towards iran and how iran is viewed and it leaves the nuclear deal in the same place not to states hasn't rejoined and is a fundamental mistrust between the 2 countries and but the point still stands is that the united states is the one that left and iran is looking to the united states to make that 1st step and rejoin that deal was a serious and said big reporting live there many thanks indeed. it india people a marching through the capital in solidarity with protesting farmers and to denounce a crackdown on them tens of thousands of agricultural workers have been running against new laws which they say will make them muc
