Hominidae they discuss Rouhani strip to the United Nations General Assembly accusations that a rare list behind the Saudi oil field attack why the attack was an act of defense by the many people and why Rouhani hung up on Trump Russia Sputnik radio. It's a year to the day that one of Britain's closest allies allegedly killed a Washington Post journalist here's the UN's extrajudicial executions investigator Agnes Kalamata on a channel owned by culture recently blockaded by Saudi Arabia who is responsible for the night I have Jamal Khashoggi distinct from Saudi Arabia 1st and foremost point for the amount of oil superpower Saudi Arabia and its defacto watercraft Mohamed bin Solomon has long been in the sights of Britain's Jeremy Corbyn the chief architect of the brutal war in Yemen which has killed 56000 people and brought 14000000 to the brink of time in the crime front is believed to have ordered the murder of John will. Rather than be robust as she promised we learned the prime minister told you to tell you to please don't use the weapons we are selling you in the war you waging and asking nicely to investigate the murder he allegedly ordered Corbin today damns the new prime minister after to raise a man David Cameron Boris Johnson What does he think of Saudi Arabia well within 10 weeks of becoming prime minister Johnson was forced to send one of his ministers to parliament to apologize for illegal deadly weapon pot sales he supported. They apologize for the export licenses that my department issued an hour since 2015 conservative and liberal politicians have authorized 5300000000 pounds of weapons to Saudi Arabia even some mainstream journalists have learned N.G.O.s like Amnesty International have alleged the use of banned u.k. Made cluster munitions joining me from Geneva is Iran's ambassador to the United Nations as well about Guy mining u.k. Media says that your country is isolated there are some reports of Japan and France offering lines of credit to Iran as Donald Trump ramps up the sanctions what exactly is the state of Iran's isolation I think it's better to leave it to wall the public opinion which countries isolated president. Travel to New York we could go visit he was there he met so many leaders and everyone is concerned about the extremist unilateralist approach by the United States administration I think the truce tell us which country is isolated and that's a very telling situation do you think the instep system of trying to avoid u.s. Sanctions is going to work I noticed more countries joined in Russia this week many conversations in New York about that Europeans have been trying to show that they have done whatever they could to salvage the d.c.p. Way but unfortunately in practice nothing has moved so far so we are still of a thing to see what would be the concrete actions and measures by Europeans of course the New York Times is of the edging that your president left Trump hanging when a call was set up between them through president of France why did he not come out of his room at the New York Millennium Hotel last week they are talking about the new deal and that's what they are trying to achieve but you see it states do not conclude the out of where we more on it on an impulse any agreement is supposed to be based on reliable partners to have a purpose if they are looking for a deal if you have a need there is an existing the which has been working well and only one country reneged on its obligation and pointed out do you think Donald Trump wanted to speak to Rouhani and claim some kind of diplomatic victory making a deal he's not a fanciful or a statesman do not conclude agreements just shaking hands or a 4th wall we have been doing these. For more than 12 years right now I think everyone at means that they were not serious in their consent they simply trying to find an excuse me didn't you for. Program to pressurize Iran otherwise they would not have left this very kind of I would not say perfect but very working the as a. Nuclear negotiator what do you think Britain's response has been to Trump's decision how well do you think they've responded to the violation of the Security Council resolution that mandates the nuclear deal concerning Iran that's the central point unfortunately I should say the east Rees response to that sort of breach of the deal by the Us administration has been at best totally in effect. I'm not worst I should say their approach has been wholly stopped me and even I dared to say very acquiesce and that has emboldened the Us administration to go ahead with their radical relax release and be to respect to not only be respect to j.c. Watts also be due respect to many other international agreements Well the u.k. Foreign secretary Dominic Rabb says he's confident that Iran was responsible for increasing oil prices by 5 percent because it drone bombed the around core facilities in Saudi Arabia pointing fingers has been unfortunately passed on going to call habits by certain vests the statement but he warns change the realities the realities on the ground is that 5 years into this conflict which has been fueled by suppliers of or principally u.s. And u.k. The people have been killed in Maine that a start to this on a daily basis now there has been simply a defense by these poor people after 5 years and there is no evidence of Iran having anything to do with these are the facilities Well it's not only dominate of course the Arabia's Mama been told to an interviewer in the United States that it shows Iranian stupidity that it even carried out this drone attack on Iran go and my compare u.s. Secretary of state called the actions of Iran an act of war this is an outrageous distortion of facts. I think they should be created to not accusing Iran of killing Kushal. I guess but have they tried their best to do the same you just speak to the us act so where do you think the British Foreign Office is getting his information I want to see the Saudi spokesperson go until. He stopped short of directly blaming Iran but showed the Iranian missile parts when it came to the attack on Saudi Arabia which he was saying was actually by Yemeni duty community forces our official has been very clear that Iran had nothing to do we think but you see they have to recognize that people on the Such a very difficult circumstances in Yemen after 5 years of bombardment. Relentless attack which by the very few are supplied by u.s. And u.k. They simply reacted and these have been their weapons of choice Britain of course continues as you say to sell arms to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen that's despite a year ago this Washington Post journalist Shoji being killed by Saudi Arabia that's admitted by Mohamed bin Salman do you think there is an information war about Iran today there has been a kind of or really young pattern of misinformation disinformation distortion of facts about Iran and we have had to deal with that for a long time so this is not new just 14 the naked truth about Iran and about what is going on in the region has now been proven beyond doubt but of course the sanctions are in place Israel just in the past few weeks is bombed Gaza Lebanon Syria Iraq can Iran really defend itself from Israel there have been assassinations on the streets of your capital after all and of course Israel allegedly has nuclear weapons on Fortunately this regime has been left on unfettered in atrocities against Palestinians for more than 7 decades against the neighbor current neighboring countries even beyond that that's really beyond disgraceful. Using Or rather I'm using that if you take the money the balance of one of the biggest countries in the morn to simply export terrorism as a sin nation and all kinds of sabotage not reason I think Iran has always been for talks and dialogue and through that we have been trying to remove a misunderstanding because there have been certain countries trying to sow division and. Countries in the region and we know we truly believe that it is already they are care for each one neighbors and we have to result in any future any misunderstanding among ourselves rather than giving and any excuse to others to interfere and to simply foment confident or fuel the situation is the real reason why President Rouhani kept all drunk waiting there in his room with it on the phone having just a foot off or shaking hands the doubt any purpose I think it would be simply something that no one no response about a statement can really agree to a master thank you that interview with a rainy and ambassador to the United Nations was by Afshin Rattansi on Sputnik radio the current name for the Voice of Russia available online at Ari t.
