Base in iraq and iran was expecting you with fire attacking the countrys sites and it was a human. They have promised to punish all the culprits and is there any indication why iranian officials initially ruled out a missile strike. Well in the statement the general staff of the reigning on forces tries to exonerate the countries of the haitian organization and the government by saying that it can meet board formed by the general staff of the armed forces not including the we Asian Organization started a probe into the incident immediately after the crash and. It tries to say that no one else knew of such an accident so we can say that at least the tolerantly know how their government officials was of.

The impact of the crash is being felt across regions professions in canada at least 17 universities have confirmed the last stuff for students. Since the us hardened its policy towards iran the number of iranian students in canada has more than doubled the disagreements between iran and western countries over what caused the plane crash will be of little help right now. To the victims loved ones in their grief. To get more insight on this tragedy im joined now by Paul Davidson the president of universities canada the National Umbrella organization of canadian universities mr davidson thanks for joining us how how has the tehran plane crash affected the canadian academic community. Its been a very difficult week right across canada on campuses large and small and i what i what i said in all this is for all of those lost loved ones this we. On communion campuses and particularly if you will be sad. And relatively speaking so that we understand whats happened is it fair to say that people iranian descent had a pretty big presence in academia in canada well they do they were making and continue to survive in shooting ways and standing on needed Academic Research life. Has attracted the best in the birth rate is still around the world and this community. Hurdle loss the numbers continue to grow over 20 universities in effect and its its over for the academics with the loss from all feel some students from engineering to physics to chemistry social sciences. And its snowing students new students and graduates students and its full professors people of holes there who are working her to solve problems call her out. So the loss is felt. Across the country and very appreciative of the messages of condolence speech borrow more so this is a loss not just of human lives but also it will affect research in possible future scientific discoveries teaching of new generations of students is that fair to say. You know all of us that life is tragic but what were feeling particularly this really is a loss of intentional these were all of these were standing students there are great students great researchers working on tough problems and really advancing knowledge for the public good for the world good but i guess what cuts particularly close is that the academic enterprise the research at rutgers the learning enterprise really depends on the flow of people and ideas and when you fall and weve had a major loss as we had it as a result of the crash into. Ok thank you for that professor Paul Davidson of the canadian universities. The u. S. Government has unveiled new sanctions against Iranian Industries and senior regime officials the announcement came from secretary of state mike pump alun treasury secretary steven minucci and he described the sanctions as a response to irans missile attack against u. S. Troops in iraq last week which followed the u. S. Assassination of a Senior Iranian general sanctions target 8 senior officials of the Islamic Republic who the u. S. Says were involved in the attack on u. S. Troops were striking at the heart. And lets get the you from the United States now from v. W. Correspondent pavel foley in washington a pavlo there are already lots of american sanctions against iran whats new this time. You said that there are many sanctions already in place on iran from the United States and this new and fresh round of sanctions focuses on several Key Industries on areas of the economy the iranian economy financial construction manufacturing textile and mining sectors and also the sanctions also focus on aid to iranian officials involved in what was described as destabilizing activities and the idea behind this is to essentially olf revenue from being generated by the iranian government to the point of billions of dollars so this would add to the already billions of dollars that the iranian government is losing because of the sanctions that are already in place. We understand as well the President Donald Trump has been talking about the reasons why he ordered the killing of general custom soleimani what did he say. Well 1st and foremost President Trump has followed a policy of maximum pressure so the maximum pressure is related directly to those sanctions that i was just speaking about the idea is to put iran theres so much pressure that eventually theyll have to sit down and renegotiate a deal with the United States and their allies and also just sort of basically put in a final end to the nuclear deal from 2015 that the United States is no longer part of but President Trump who is speaking to one of the big networks here in the u. S. Fox news was saying that it will tell you that probably was going to be the embassy in baghdad thats referring to these plans the u. S. Administration has been talking about that the iranian general had he was they were saying that he was going to be attacking american. Targets and now he had lob aerated further and said he can reveal that he believes it would have been for embassies and one like i said would be baghdad so this in many respects gives gives President Trump in his eyes justification for carrying out this killing and subsequently these sanctions which were seeing now these new fresh sanctions which have been imposed on iran ok public thank you for the.
