A ball of fire on an italian highway a tanker truck explodes ripping a hole through an eight lane overpass the least two people were killed dozens injured. All. Golf its good to have you with us u. S. President donald trump has signed an Executive Order re imposing sanctions on iran those sanctions scheduled to take effect in just a few hours from now the move comes three months after the u. S. Pulled out of the twenty Fifteen International nuclear deal with iran and irans president has. Rouhani today saying that the u. S. Challenges from Anti Western Hardliners in tehran i mean how serious are these really imposed sanctions for his leadership. I mean look if you if you look if you think about what president rouhani was aiming at he wanted to normalize trade with iran and basically enter the era without any sanctions on the country and now the u. S. Is really imposing sanctions and theres nothing you can do about it so for him its obviously a big big blow to his president ial second president ial term and his opponents at home are obviously. Quite happy about it and will and will more fiercely challenge him now the revolutionary guard has basically said that the iranian people will not allow any discussions to take place with what they called the great satan that being the United States is that the entire truth is there not some interest in tehran in keeping discussions going at least at some level. Of course of course and
i said that at the beginning of our conversation that there is that there are different political domains different political currents that have different viewpoints and its the same among the people there are those who despise this u. S. President there are others who say this is the one that we actually have to talk to because he has all the hardliners in the in washington behind him so there are different viewpoints and this is what i was saying that it will be interesting to see which current emerges as the as the stronger one and the more convincing one internally in iran what is happening to the iranian economy right now i mean weve got these sanctions that are being reimposed tonight doesnt this just put the influence of the military in the Security Sector doesnt it make that influence even greater on the economy of iraq obviously iran has had homemade economic problems but these are exacerbating with the new situation sanctions always cause. Basically networks that then have to jump in for trade that has
actually been prohibited so you have actors that may come from the military who can benefit now by saying we have third way so to say to import goods that are actually banned from entering the country in the end the consumers there ordinary iranian people will be those who have to pay literally more because goods are going to be even more expensive and the Purchasing Power of every iranian citizen is going to be lower and lower and that is certainly. Exacerbating the hardship of the iranian people nontobacco by giving is valuable analysis tonight on the effect of these reimposed u. S. Sanctions on iran we appreciate your insights tonight thank you my pleasure berent.
