Relief efforts are stalled aid agencies say the u. S. Is partly to blame according to the iranian red crescent washington sanction on terror and have blocked any foreign Financial Aid to enter the country on his state t. V. Irans president said last week that it was a quote disgrace. That they create show ha ha ha bites of what the americans wished for everyone will see that our big nation our officials are no armed forces walking together when we construct the ruins of a hot albeit hot all heavy rain since mushed has inundated almost two thousand communities causing damages split hundreds of millions of us. With its outposts showing new signs of easing many iranians are bracing for the worst. We have their claims that u. S. Sanctions are hampering relief efforts to flood victims a last me get out foreign minister zarif accused as american counterpart mike of fake news for saying the u. S. Was quote ready to assist through the International Red cross that if treated as the i. C. R. C. President noted the requests of gone through save any funds due to u. S. Sanctions u. S.

Hello and thank you for having me those situations in iran right now i can see is that well the flaws has reached southwestern parts of iran those are the risk operations going on and whos a star has basically declared him to be in a state of crisis right now and its mostly because the new body governor of chad has a flooded and accuracy is. Going toward the city and threatening more cities in capital of start which is home to about more than a million and a half people. Know it in foreign minister moment jobs or it has accused the u. S. And said that the sanctions imposed by the United States are harming and hinder the grief and rescue operations what are you seeing on the ground. Well our i would say that the sanctions in the are harming the efforts well it basically is that well first of all you does depend on we are asking them if you as the u. S. State the bar to say that humanitarian aid is not sanctioned that is true on its own in theory but banking transactions are basically impossible not aid can possibly come in iranian red cross and theres reason to claim that not all foreign aid all financial foreign aid so far has been received ever since the flights largely middle of march and that is basically because. Sanctions what everyone has got so far it seems to be only equipment and its very small and thats a month or two and cash which is bashed badly needed as not only yet it seems like the only. Transaction channel right now is german red cross and seemingly organisations are supposed brought with them so it can get to russia but that still is not definite so. Sanctions iran do have a start i would say but just the scale of this disaster are do turds of the country underwater two thirds of the country flooded is there an argument to say that the government potentially did not see this disaster coming. Well i would say that the government failed to prepare for this disaster its not just anticipating it and. Burden falls equally also its everyone in control and i would say because the situation we have with deforestation the situation we have with enormous amount of downs situation we have with. Unwarranted our nonlicensed constructions where the rivers used to be because if you know iran has been in a time of drought for several years now no one has abated anything company so with that people people say they got the illegal warrants and places to build. Buildings alongside with you the rivers used to beat which creates a large rubber off this is that source that you see on the ground so the old with all that we could iran could have been if i was there but it is a peking guess i wouldnt be so sure because some of the images that have been pretty much seen all over at shiraz and that theres aster happening lets tend to write thanks so much for that are better left for leave it there for the time in our house our very air speaking to us from don thank you so much next to thailand where millions of young men were numb this pond how they will spend the next six months to two years of their lives for an estimated two hundred thousand of them it will mean serving in the military its finance and all military draft which sees a male citizens age twenty one called up for service for a period of up to two has many dont want to go and pray they are not among the chosen few.
