Obviously its really in a different sort of concrete. And different environment. In a b c news much to the tensions. Between the governments with the Supreme Leader supported endorse the idea of discussions about resolving the fate. Of americans held in iran and iranian nationals detained in the United States. Well you know. We had a where. And different occasions and the past. We have talks with american officials. Aimed at. Freeing present prisoners in both countries a time we did succeed meaning that americans. Were freed if you recall and on the other. Indians hell here. Missed the trumps administration. We we we started. These talks with mr trumps administration. But once the americans and that. One individual in iran is freed they will take that and as a good gesture in it did happen in iraq and that their citizen was freed. Was released and instead of the american fulfilling their promise. To reciprocate. They only thanked iran. And made an expression so weve always been ready to do this we will always be ready to do this but the today stands and america has for. Hyper says Michael Franti b. S. For having us at the press conference and answering questions and as a japanese i have a question. Japans Prime Minister and i understand that. Very traditional and. Bad Prime Minister and i would like to ask you. To play a. Thanks for the relationship between. What. Relationship with relations with the japanese government. And have been very friendly. Relations and with mr. Prime minister. Of what many meetings during the past few years and different times weve had bilateral meetings. Spoken of by let alone international issues. Recently a few months ago you may recall that he had it was that they had on which was a very good visit would be fruitful and useful to visit. In new york yes we did have a friendly encounter during which we spoke of different topics yes Prime Minister. Has been seeking this particular part from a few months ago in particular aimed. Taken away the sanctions implemented by the america and in a way. To bring ties to get that in. And change the atmosphere is still seeking to pursue that pathway perhaps to that degree in the us. We do hope that this. Will lead to. Results if america reaches the conclusion that the actions taken 18 months ago has been 100 percent to the detriment of the nation of the people of iran and all of the countries in the region and all of that. Job creators and industries and industries in order and watch it in business in iran so the right choice must be made. Thank you mr president my question is did you have any. French. Thank you. Government italian government. Not doing this. Is it during the last. Visit and. Had a meeting the other relations. Friendly even it was friendly with the previous one during which. Travel to italy and their Prime Minister travel to iran. Relations are. Because because its because of sanctions and some. Mic relationship has decreased. But the commercial relation ties between the 2 countries as well as as well as other relations at that region. Has continued have continued to exist and italy has always been one of the countries in europe that has. Had the great value. The 2nd highest value of trade with iran and we see italy as a friend. And of course and even today. Regarding yemen. Italians are also present in these talks which we had with other European Countries. David they no longer richard roth c. N. N. Welcome back mr president theres a report today from overseas that the i. A. E. A. Says that there is a breach of the c. P. O. Way that there has been starting advanced models of centrifuges to enrich uranium this is that youre accumulating or been prepared to accumulate enrich to your radio 5 years ago you left for the airport you got a call from president obama do you expect to get a phone call on the way to the airport today or tomorrow. For the last part. Of that is negative. Visit with the 1st part of your question we have. To create. A commitment was that. The limitations that we. Developed i mean within the framework of g. C. C. We have taken those limitations off the table. But i want to put in point your views. Supervision and. Inspection of that. Has increased or decreased. In the same fashion. That since in the beginning of the j c p r 2015 were supervising and inspecting. And were carrying out its activities in iran. And there are so. Rich and the same well it has been no decrease in some of the commitment in the. Decrease in one of the. There is no. Talk on increasing. In richmond level. Thats not the scope of what were doing our scope is research and development and. Centrifuge and. Force that was posed. A few years. From now. We are suppose. Thats scheduled might have been moved. Up so once this chain is completed of course it will be active in this is again only. This is for Resource Development no other objective youre quite right but the important point is that we have. Had a time and transpired. During the recent g 7 President Trump said that hed be supportive of a care Credit Guarantee which buys them a crown was working on it later circuit city offer was for 15000000000. 00 is that still on the table and why is that being held up in your opinion what were the Financial Options that were discussed this week is there a new instrument that is being discussed or is it for it still for the 15000000000 dollars thank you. Steve. Of course during. Any station. You have been talking about your take away the sanctions in their entirety what we have spoken and discussed and. You know that the credit line. Discussion was temporary one. Bit of time so 3 months before the end of the most so we want to. Continue in a different fashion. And. What the europeans. Have a problem in implementing that and. They know the reasons and they were we talked beyond that. We talked about the region and the impact important regional issues were discussed in this discussion i. Did not at each. Order to try to come to full conclusion. Next question. Mr president im from feature story news in china global t. V. Network Chinas State Council and foreign minister has called for all efforts to resolve the Nuclear Issue given the u. S. Pressure and new sanctions on china for trying. Ron and the lack of success by the europeans in their efforts to try and stop the economic blow on iran. How much of a role is china playing and what more would you like to see from beijing. Thought has been a friend. And. An active member of the. In a signatory. After signing off that. We have had good relations and perhaps. We have seen. And i would relation. Due to the sanctions americans are still speaking their previous. Forward to those policies in other words more pressure. Just questions which is the same way they are trying which is taking them a problem further away from their discussions. So this is the mistake that they have made and they repeating this mistake unfortunately as you said every day perhaps some day and daily basis america targets. Entity. Because of their relationship with iran. They have their own policy of sanctions. Or not it will not have any benefits so we hope that our relationship with china will be expanded and the future. Mr president david sanger from times good to see you and you talked before about the maximum pressure that the United States is placing on iran would you say that the strategic purpose of your escalation of Nuclear Activity at natanz is your own form of maximum pressure and if not what is its strategic purpose you have said many times you dont want to build Nuclear Weapons so what is the purpose of continuing to increase the production at the times and do you see an end to that is there or is there an end point beyond which you would not go beyond 20 percent for example. What we have announced even previously. Our commitments within their g. Or bi lateral. Multilateral some of those commitments we have to fulfill other commitments our counterparts have to fulfill what we have witnessed in the last few months have become a union literally set of commitments that have to be in lamented in other words we were living up to our commitments for this and they kept the crease in their commitments we wanted to create a balance just as they were decreasing their commitment and we wish to decrease ours as well in this is a formula that had been in a visit in particular 26 and 36 of the 8 that if one side does not live up to and fulfilled part of their commitment the other side can to the same degree decrees its commitment. So what we do is a decrease of commitment within the gene. Therefore that the decrees of at least mint is in such a fashion that is reversible in other words this very hour that we are talking to each other if the 4th one and loans that we will let me. Pull all of our commitments immediately we would also return to our commitments to all of it within the g 8 and the temporary actions that we are taking will be reversed to the previous status where we are not seeking Nuclear Weapons. Or Nuclear Nuclear activities will be. Completely and the purview of. A we are not off target maximum. Medium pressure no pressure of. Proper implementation of the g. C. So if we do not lessen our commitment envisaged in article 26 and 36 of the people that means that we are not fully and fully implementing digital we are using the tools brought in to the way to live up to our commitment in there or we. Hope that everyone comes to full implementation. Of the iranian president speaking in new york a lengthy News Conference on the sidelines of the United NationsGeneral Assembly it seemed. Strong opportunity for him to take questions from the media primarily in english as well the media who have assembled in new york for the General Assembly a chance to get their questions across to the president s lets start with who is our correspondent in tehran listening along to that what did you take from it saying there was a lot covered there but it seemed to be plenty on the jay c. P. O. As they say the iran deal and. Digging in and saying hey if you want to talk america thats fine but let the sanctions. Thats exactly right we have to say president Hassan Rouhani looking much more relaxed than he did last year his body language is relaxed he seems confident this is really sort of a last hurrah before he leaves new york to return to tehran he wants to go out on a high note now at the end of the day every policy issue related to iran is indeed in some way related to the 2050 nuclear deal to the collapse or the collapsing of the still you teetering along join comprehensive plan of action the 2015 nuclear deal but the 1st question right out of the gate when he started taking questions was about whether or not iran had any proof that it was not behind the attack on Saudi Oil Facilities that were there were claimed by yemens hooty fighters earlier this month and to that you said that if anybody is going to blame iran really those who are laying those allegations that irans feet should be the ones providing evidence that iran carried it out not the other way around so he turned that question upside down right away and he said unequivocally that iran did have nothing to do with it and in fact World Leaders that he spoke to at this u. N. General assembly and said to them what is the evidence that youre basing this allegation on and they said according to him they have no evidence they just didnt think that the yemenis who the fighters had such capability and to that he said he told World Leaders that they had outdated information about the ground reality inside yemen he also reminded them that this is a saudi led war that this is a saudi invasion and that that should really be the focus of World Leaders he also talked about trying to put out fires instead of fueling weapon sales that he laid at the feet of the United States and European Countries who continue to supply weapons to saudi arabia thus fueling the war as opposed to trying to put out the fire and he also had a few questions about sort of how he felt about the current state of play with regard to the trumpet ministration the politics going on. Inside the country and he smiled not really taking that opportunity to kick us President Donald Trump while he was down he said it was up to the American People to decide who their leaders were but he said the american leaders what they should do is honor their commitments and what he meant by that is that the United States pulling out of of the joint comprehensive plan of action a un back to plan was effectively a violation of International Agreements he went on to address a question about whether or not the u. N. Headquarters should be relocated because United States wasnt granted visas for certain officials he said the United States shouldnt play politics when it comes to u. N. Related visits by World Leaders and he also was asked if talks were possible between the United States and iran he said talks are always possible its always possible to come some a kind of agreement and to sit down and he was for dialogue of a very very different message from the early days a few years ago when the United States pulled out of the deal iran was much more defensive about carrying out any talks with the United States a much warmer approach to this but he said it would not happen in a climate of intimidation when asked about whether or not he was willing to meet donald trump he really sidestepped that question but he did address it subtly in his u. N. General Assembly Speech today earlier saying that photo ops and memories that are taken with pictures dont happen at the start of negotiations that is the culmination of negotiations a slight dig at the u. S. President donald trump who is known for enjoying photo ops perhaps a reference to his meeting with the north Korean Leader the same bus driver summing up what weve heard from the iranian president Hassan Rouhani in new york thank you zain.
