Well as i mentioned the new sanctions go away up to the Supreme Leader ayatollah ali time with a michaela has more from washington. As promised another round of sanctions against iran these in addition to a number already put in place and directed at the countrys most Senior Leaders President Trump did not elaborate on the precise nature of the sanctions apart from saying that they would bar the leaders from access to Financial Instruments i want to thank our military i want to thank all of the people that have been working with me over the last number of months on this think a lot of restraint has been shown by us a lot of restraint. And that doesnt mean were going to show in the future no complete details provided by the treasury secretary either but speedman did confirm that some of the sanctions are a direct response to last weeks attack on a u. S. Drone iran contended the drone had penetrated its space an accusation denied by the u. S. Im not going to identify which ones or which ive said that some of this was in the works some of this is a result of recent activities deep concern once again expressed by the u. N. Secretary general he has urged all sides to show nerves of steel and he is continuing to maintain that and he wants to make sure that they. Take steps to avoid any further sorts. Of provocation one way or the other the u. S. Is ramping up its diplomatic actions against iran the secretary of state shuttling through several gulf states including saudi arabia to shore up a wide anti Iran Alliance but at the same time a carrot of sorts being extended with the stick the white house releasing a statement saying the president has been clear that hes open to the possibility of future talks with iran mike hanna aljazeera washington. The u. N. Security council is calling all sides to show restraint and behind closed doors to discuss the escalating tensions but irans ambassador to the u. N. Says to her own will not accept talks with washington while its under sanctions dialogue has certain rules and certain regulations you cannot started dialogue with somebody who is threatening you who is intimidating you to do just witness that the United States impose another set of set of sanctions against iran how can your started dialogue with somebody whos trying merely preoccupation. Is to put more sanctions on iran saw that the atmosphere of such a dialogue does is not ready. For years following events for us from the iranian capital tehran of the war of words continues zain i dont why thats just dropped from a. P. Again from the iranians apparently the iranian president President Trump saying the white house is afflicted by mental retardation the insults coming in 2nd vast. Yes thats absolutely right in his 1st appearance his 1st public appearance since the iranians shot down a u. S. Drone on thursday irans president Hassan Rouhani reacted to sanctions new sanctions placed by the United States saying that the sanctions against the Supreme Leader were sanctions against a beloved religious leader love the world over and the act of someone who has lost his mind and does stupid things and as you said he said in his speech during a meeting of his Health Ministry that the white house is experiencing some form of mental disability at the moment on the issue of future sanctions expected later this week irans foreign minister zarif mr rouhani said that if United States says that it is expecting to carry out a dialogue in the future with iran it is inviting iran to some form of negotiation but then how can it expect to do so when it sanctions the countrys top diplomat and of course they know what one does how practical these particular sanctions are i mean how symbolic they are in reality and impracticality because surely the ayatollah himself doesnt tire of financial dealings with. Institutions beyond the borders of his own country exactly thats absolutely right even if he did even if we were to take an example of him having those dealings the sanctions that are already being placed on iran the banking sanctions are so far reaching so sweeping that none of these officials or the offices they represent could potentially carry out any sort of actions these are highly symbolic sanctions both the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and mr zarif irans foreign minister are important public figures in iran and being targeted in this way being put in a corner being applied pariah status by the United States will not only inflame tensions further but they are likely to further anger leaders here into her own for the moment as they will leave of course and follow vents with you through the day thanks very much.
