In washington d. C. Outside the white house people called for the removal of president Hassan Rouhani dont trump tweeted that people are getting wise to know how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism in terror state television quoted iranian president Hassan Rouhani in reply he said irans regional accomplishments have infuriated our enemy you expect them not to take revenge you expect them not to provoke a group of people we should have prepared ourselves for this. These are the largest protests in almost a decade and threats by the Republican Guards to put down the demonstrations have been ignored among the night your calls for the people to continue this protest pizza shop aljazeera. The president rouhani also accused israel of being behind the protests in iran israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ak President Trump as he gave his reaction its not only false its laughable and i like to hug me oh not in the ring in people they deserve better.

C. As i leave as hes the iran project director at the International Crisis group and what with all sides during the negotiations for the twenty fifth a nuclear deal thanks very much for joining us say on algis air i first of all wanted to get your sense of what the situation is on the ground were hearing a very heavy Police Presence in teheran were hearing that things seem to be escalating whats the latest youre hearing look this is neither a revolution nor a Political Movement at this stage it is still an explosion of pent up public frustrations because of the economic and political stagnation in iran it is really difficult to predict where it will go from here whether it would fizzle out over the next few days or it would be repressed but you know iran has had similar experiences in the past that if their free ten years there has been an eruption in iran mostly it has been repressed by the system so we have to wait and see what happens you are in the thick of the nuclear deal and of course the nuclear deal was supposed to result in better Economic Situation with the sanctions being relieved somewhat and that doesnt seem to have trickled down is that what they want to spout this around the country and what indeed should ronnie of dont when he have that nuclear deal in the palm of his hand. I think the reason that is an important factor in whats happening at the moment the fact that the nuclear deal didnt really delivered the results that the public expected and the government also inflated public expectations a lot i think president rouhani over promised and under delivered but the this is not only the governments fault theres been developments on the sidelines you know the Global Oil Prices were reduced significantly over the past two years. The fact that the u. S. Commitment to did nuclear deal is under question especially under President Trump has created a lot of hesitancy uncertainty in the market and that has adverse the effect that the iranian economy but the reality is that president rouhani also really failed to pave the ground for the potential that the nuclear deal created and that has created a lot of frustrations in iran over the past few years in fact Unemployment Rate has gone up has gone up. Income inequality in iran has exacerbated and people. Have had enough of all of this and this is why you see the process these days the Intelligence Ministry just missed it put out a statement just on today only asking people to shop for those that they believed were part of the protest but it is one of the problems that they have to sort of take control is that it feels like its leaderless it doesnt feel like there are certain individuals that are coordinating and driving it was just a sense were getting because we dont have the key journalists on the ground. No i think its pretty obvious that this Movement Similar to the arab uprisings in two thousand and eleven doesnt have a clear leadership or an organization it also doesnt have a specific mission the slogans range from economic grievances all the way to regime change and thats why its hard to imagine that it would be able to preserve its momentum in the long run i think important to note at this stage is that president rouhani has recognized both the right legitimate right of people to protest and the legitimate grievances of the protestors but i fear that if these protests will continue in the next few days it will become more and more violent and at some stage the system will have to bring down its iron fist out of fear that these could also be exploited by irans regional rivals and. Enemies abroad. And at that stage you could see crackdowns that could be very violent and that in itself could provide justification for additional sanctions on iran and even i can imagine that President Trump could use the same justification to go as far as withdrawing from the nuclear deal and therefore exacerbating all of these tensions very grateful for your interpretation and for joining us from washington d. C. Thank you.

North koreas leader has warned that the entire United States is within range of his Nuclear Weapons saying this is reality not a threat and his new years address kim jong un also said he had a Nuclear Button on his desk but he struck a much more conciliatory tone with south korea saying he was open to dialogue and wishing them success for the Winter Olympics flawlessly reports and so. This is how north korea welcomed the new year with a fireworks display much like the rest of the world but it is leader kim jong uns new years day address that is drawing all the attention if two thousand and seventeen was marked by fiery rhetoric and rising tensions because of north Koreas Nuclear ambitions two thousand and eighteen may bring more of the same. Colors and that the u. S. Mainland is within the range of our Nuclear Strike and the Nuclear Button is put on the desk in my office at all times they should clearly understand that this is never a trash but a reality kim has called for the mass production and deployment of more Nuclear Warheads and missiles but weapons experts agree that north korea may not yet have the technology to miniaturize a Nuclear Warhead and mounted on a missile that could be entering the atmosphere while kim speech made no mention of the new kid atmospheric test he reiterated the claim that north korea is now a nuclear power. In stark contrast to the hostile remarks to the United States is the conciliatory overture from kim jong un to south korea hes even suggested dialogue between the two sides something south korean president proposed several months ago and which north korea ignored. And i dont we should actively create an atmosphere to move forward with the National Reconciliation and reunification improving ties between the north and the south is an urgent issue that not only the north and south want what everyone else wants he suggested north korea is prepared to send its athletes to participate in the upcoming Winter Olympics and paralympics in china next month south korea has responded to these proposals positively saying it hopes communication which has been severed between the two sides for nearly two years can be restored some other interim on the south koreas president ial office wall comes north Korean Leader kim jong ils new years speech today which expressed willingness to send a delegation to the counter olympics and proposed talks as he acknowledges dont need for improvement into korean pies but analysts say the olive branch may be a ploy to gain some political ground north korea was to drive a wedge between seoul in washington at the same time tried to dialup the impact of economic sanctions north korea is facing its toughest sanctions yet including a cap on petrol imports as punishment for its nuclear and missile tests last year kim jong un speech while it seems to lay open a path to dialogue with south korea is proof that north Koreas Nuclear ambitions are here to stay Florence Li Al Jazeera soul. Dollars a Research Fellow in prolife proliferation and Nuclear Policy at the london based think tank he says north korea is trying to create divisions between the u. S. And south korea. Well its part of a larger effort to make sure that south korea and the United States are not coordinated we have to remember that for kim jong un the biggest threat is the United States being right on his borders and he wants to get rid of the United States and the only way to do that is to make sure that south korea and the United States have different priorities and different negotiation outcomes that they see different negotiation outcomes it would be difficult for south korea to ignore Something Like this and they have been ignored in the past when north korea has approached about family reunions or joint Industrial Projects those are things that have been going on in the past and theyve negotiated out on a bilateral level so south korea will be very difficult i know theyve passed the deadline will be very difficult for south korea to turn away north korea when it when it is a a friendly just at least on paper its clear that north korea is has a strategy here because they also threaten the United States in the same new years message and thats also part of bringing a threat to the u. S. Homeland and thats another part of splitting the United States from south korea so by threatening seattle north koreas hoping that the u. S. Will be more occupied with defending seattle and not focusing as much in its ally thus causing a split in the korean peninsula.
