need experts. he was about the last expert in iran. that make its that much tougher. reporter: both of these situations play out with the pastor, with his attorney, how much do you think international pressure has played a role in all of this. i think it s the only reason. iran doesn t have problems hanking people. they don t care if the u.s. is upset. but they have allies, brazil is doing a lot of work there mind the scenes because they have an embassy. it wouldn t be the case if ift wasn t for fox news talking about it. that s the christians and those who care about religious freedom, putting partisan politics aside. we worked with the state department here and said, this is not pol tirks this is human rights and you have a court, which executes people all the time, scared to do that. they realize that the implications could be huge if iran moved what he had that. shannon: jordan, thank you very much. thank you. shannon: the vatican is bracing for a wider
but at the same time, they have strict islamic law, they execute people every day. shannon: i want to ask you about the attorney. he is now facing 9 years in prison himself? 9 years in prison, 10 yeared disbarred. that would be the end of his career. he showed up in court 3 weeks ago to represent another client inside a prison, which is the worst prison in iran, where the political prisoners are from the 09 protest. the judge of death, the hanging judge, who has been become famous in iran s revolutionary court says you can t represent your client today. your sentence is a couple of years old was upheld, have you to report to prison soon. he has not had to report to jail. so he s out of prison. but we are not sure he s able to continue to do his work. we are not sure if he is going to stay out of jail, but can t represent clients or can he finish cases? iran s judicious system is different. imagine here, if you have local attorneys, but the case has gone to the supreme court and yo
so we shouldn t give them the benefit of the doubt. i don t think this was operator scprr we should talk very carefully with the iaea, which is the group that found this and the u.n. scowrnsz. this is a red line. shannon: we continue to have the talks. the next round in mid-june in moscow. in the meantime, israel is not take anything options off the table. we sent a top state department official there to meet with the leader there is to reaffirm our unshakeable commitment to israel. what do you make of the tensions now growing between those two. eric: obviously, israel much closer geographically to the threat. right now, the united states, as many people say, is much more concerned about an israeli strike on iran than iran nuclearizing the atom. so i think there is really an attempt on the part of the administration to defer this until after the election. unfortunately, though, the iranians are continuing to enrich uranium and to be able to develop the weapons themselves.
european countries and one to japan. but the real big issue is china because china is iran s largest oil cust her and largest investor in the oil patch and biggest trading partner. if we can t get the chinese to reduce oil purchases, we should not give a waiver to china. if we don t, the iranians are going to sit up and take notice and say the u.s. does have will. shannon: and we got information from a report showing that iran is enriching uranium at a higher level than people expected. it goes beyond my understanding beyond what they would use for a power plant and inching closer to weaponnize the material. they say it was an accident, a routine technical error. what s your take? you know, this is the second time that the iranians have been caught with highly enriched uranium. the first time was in 2003, when they found particles enriched to 90%. iran is a nuclear criminal.
