Why has the canal failed to materialize the short story the billionaire lost most of his billions before work could get started but the ripples still being felt particularly in the form of a law passed especially for the project that says any properties needed can be exported predated that law is still on the books.

Security councils urge to convene after north korea carries out a 2nd Ballistic Missile test this week. Follow the u. S. Treasury department has imposed sanctions on irans foreign minister Mohammed Javid serif it includes freezing his assets in the u. S. As well as travel restrictions u. S. Officials have also said they do not consider as a reef a significant Decision Maker in any future talks about the Iran Nuclear Deal lets take you live now to aljazeera and jordan shes in washington d. C. For us a significant decision this rolls what other reasons has the trumpet ministration given for sanctioning saree. Well the primary reason why the Administration Says at least in legal terms that it is sanctioning mama job and sorry thier running in foreign minister is because he leads an office that cooperates with the office of the Supreme Leader the ayatollah Ali Husseini Hama ne and the offices efforts to crush political dissent within the country to destroy human rights to basically support groups such as hezbollah and hamas as well as to try to do stabilize other countries through the deployment of its own g c. Soldiers or to fund other insurgent groups the us says that because its a reef leaves the Foreign Ministry which works hand in glove as it were with the Supreme Leaders office that he was of course a prime target under the terms of a new executive order recently issued by the President Donald Trump they also say that more specifically because he is considered a trusted confidant of the telecom in him that it would be untenable for the u. S. To continue to watch a job its a reef basically fly around the world serve as a Spokes Person for the iranian government and not be held accountable for the actions that either he himself has carried out or those who work for his ministry have carried out a get at the behest of the Supreme Leaders office so that is why the sanctions are being imposed its also intended to send a message that the u. S. Is simply not going to allow iran to try to develop any Nuclear Weapons even though the iranian government has said repeatedly that it has been abiding by the terms of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement a deal which. Most will recall the us pulled out of just about a year ago yet also means the reef as we know is the mandible wolds is used to dealing with on behalf of iran hes been a frequent visitor of course to the un in new york how would he sign sions affect their visits would he be able to go to the u. N. Well he has to apply for a visa to be able to come through u. S. Territory in order to reach u. N. Headquarters and an official who was on the press call earlier on wednesday indicated that the u. S. Will look very carefully at his visa applications to make certain that the u. S. Doesnt interfere with his right to go to u. N. To conduct business at the u. N. On behalf of his government because that is something u. S. Is obligated to do but it could very well leave the room open to find a way to deny zarif permission to come to the United States or it could allow him to travel to the u. S. Travel through an International Airport but then be very very limited on where he could go how he could get between 2 or more locations while he is doing business at the United Nations and then perhaps set a time limit on how long he could actually be in the United States while on a u. N. Related business so there is a possibility that he might want for example to come to the opening of the next General Assembly session in september and he might not be allowed permission to travel to the u. S. Fort well just have to see if that actually does happen well the judge in live with the latest in washington thank you. Well the recent self has responded to the sanctions on twitter saying the u. S. Is reason for designating me is that i am irans quite prime respects person around the world is the truth really that painful it has no effect on me or my family as i have no property or interests outside of iran thank you for considering me such a huge threat to your agenda. As there is still such a bari such as this update from tehran that certainly will be just another example the iranians will point to the fact that the United States doesnt really understand how the Islamic Republic system works the idea that they think by sanctioning that the foreign minister they will get to a more powerful person in the system to talk to is really absurd because the foreign minister is somebody who is a very very close to the highest authority in iran the Supreme Leader the supreme there and sells quite a lot of company in the past has expressed his satisfaction with how the foreign minister has conducted these negotiations over the Nuclear Dream and he thanked the Foreign Ministry called or asked for. The idea that by bypassing the race they will get to somebody powerful in the system that will they will be able to talk to is unheard of really it will never happen the iranians chose the foreign minister as the person to lead the negotiations to bleep the dialogue in the International Community about it or not or to put it. Back their Nuclear Program in order to open up the countrys economy to the world and that is what was passed to the foreign minister well our sharma she is a National Security and Foreign Policy analyst joins us by skype from new york thanks again for being with us on the program the u. S. Doesnt want to deal with mr zarif who will it deal with now when it comes to iran. Thats a very good question so on the one hand before mrs every if we give foreign minister of iran for a while the chief Nuclear Negotiator from iran was not the foreign minister to give you an example francis during the years of president Mohammed Khatami rule iran from 90 well it was president you dont rule iraq lets say from 97 to 2005 it was mr auntie was now the currents president who was irans chief Nuclear Negotiator he was sort of and in fact the chairman of iraqs National Security council not intellect like that official later on during the years of this admonition are these sort of hardline president s who had much of a National Terms of getting the attention of the world media all the wrong reasons it was missed a lot a joint who is now the current speaker of the Iranian Parliament who was at the time again the head of the iranian National Security council who was in a fact in charge of Nuclear Negotiations a member of the cabinet lightness as that if as foreign minister being intrusted with the negotiations was a new things thats one thing secondly we all know its no secret to anybody that in the iranian a hierarchy in the iranian structure how are elected officials whatever you make up that make up those elections anyway the elected officials dont have much power strategical is a book structure structurally and institutionally it keep because it is a Decision Makers special when it comes down to National Security Affairs Military Affairs intelligence nuclear and so on and so forth is the superior ayatollah and the common e and his clothes. You see folks and so on and so forth most of whom if not all are selected theyre not elected and the they do not answer to any send or sort of semi democratic bottom so what happens if you eliminate that eve from the negotiating process 2 things happen either. Ok iran will say well were not going to send anybody to negotiate or beat if they come to our senses they will say well you know even though this was not the best move by the us the next person who will have some authority on behalf of god knows whom will be able to negotiate but to go to even think to even pretend up a one second. Common and god like you know supremum leader of iran who sort of if you want to be a logical propaganda is the the senate of of prophet mohammed and also the successor of his rage and his religious rule is not going to sit at the negotiating table nor is he going to accept as or and theyre going to take audience with any american officials for that matter or any negotiators for that matter said that they very best youre going to have some appointed official just like rouhani were law to join you so on and so forth as i said where previously in charge of irans National Security council im not sure if this move in addition to just being symbolic what does it really accomplish but lets be clear here tensions have been on the rise and as much as i do not want to sit here for a minute and defend some of the horrible policies both domestic and International Policies of President Trump even a broken clock is right twice that the Islamic Republic has expanded its influence in the region Islamic Republic has increased tensions and Islamic Republic has tried to justify its malign activities based on a mystique and that mystique was President Trumps unilateral withdrawal from the iran deal last year and said that they you look at areas of trouble in the region and it appears that appears that is it clear that there is a proxy war going on between the saudis and iranians and this price is being paid by the people in the region so to. Big 3 big big big things in this you know sort of big scheme of being right. Tensions are going to go on beyond the horizon be im not sure maximum pressure alone without any light at the end of this convo is going to be effective pressure for us to go pressure is not effective pressure is the fact that with the iranian ok what are some sort of carrots and theres a rise out of us im sorry to cut you off we are out of time appreciate your side thank you.
