Its another headline story this hour and rainy and Police Used Tear Gas to disperse government protesters on to run as Freedom Square on sunday demonstrations continued for a 2nd day it follows the countrys admission that it all intentionally shot down ukrainian earline or last week killing all 176 people on board the majority of whom were remaining canadian. Its protesters have been calling on irans leadership including the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei to resign over the disaster they also want those directly responsible for the dawning of a flight to face justice irans armed forces have said that the jet was mistakenly identified as a hostile target and that it was flying close to a sense of the facility the top revolutionary guards commander has expressed deep regret over the tragedy apologizing to the victims from. The words of almighty god there i wished i were in that plane and it crashed with the men had burned but had not witnessed this tragic incident we made a mistake in a number of our compatriots were martyred because of our mistake but it was an intentional we apologize we are sorry but we will make up for it. When the us officials in the trumpet ministration have been emphatic in their support for the protesters with the us president even tweeting a warning to iran in persian that triggered a sharp response from officials in tehran to the leaders of iran do not kill your Protesters Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you and the world is watching more importantly the usa is watching turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free stop the killing of your great iranian people hands and tongues smeared with threatening sanctioning and terrorizing the iranian nation are not entitle to dishonor the ancient persian language by the way are you actually standing by millions of iranians whose hero you just assassinated while standing against them. Well the backdrop to this of course tensions soared after a u. S. Drone attack 10 days ago which left a Senior Iranian commander dead in baghdad and it would seem instead of looking to calm the situation washingtons opted to continue to apply maximum pressure on iran taking up the story for us igor said all of. As washington seated on the verge of an all out war with iran it looked like it had just stepped outside of its comfort zone the risk of plunging the middle east into yet a nother disastrous conflict was an obvious weight on the u. S. But now with the tensions easing america is back in familiar territory waging a political and Economic Campaign to force its rival into submission what is our strategy pose the cousin to the man in killing and post the Ballistic Missile attack on the United States this is our strategy we are diplomatically and economically isolating their regime in iran in till they behave like a normal nation washington has charted these waters through and through and its not afraid to get creative and putting iran under pressure after admitting to accidentally downing a ukrainian jetliner with more than a 170 people on board to iran has seen a fresh outbreak in Anti Government protests and demonstrators the havent suffered from any lack of support from the u. S. With donald trump even taking a crash course in persian to write this tweet to the brave long suffering people of iran ive stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my administration will continue to stand with you we are following your protests closely and are inspired by your courage. Translated no obstacles and no language barriers can stand in the way of democracy and to make sure that nothing is lost in translation here washington is backing up its words with action a method tried and trusted sanctions we are announcing additional sanctions against the Iranian Regime as a result of these our actions we will cut off billions of dollars of support to the Iranian Regime israel as its tradition was quick to cheer it always does whenever things take a turn for the worse for iran i commend president truman for imposing new and very harsh sanctions against his regime i must say that this was also doing close to the iranian decision to accelerate uranium enrichment i call on britain france and germany to join the american effort but few other nations share the excitement for iran a nation that spent decades under all flavors of sanctions being free of them is more of a challenge actually the United States on me wants to think that sense that its a superpower that it can do whatever it wants so her to run through sanctions that china warfare and trade war as it tries to hurt russia through sanctions but ultimately what it does is that it brings these are countries closer to each other and other countries become more more more negative view of the u. S. Government and i think in the in the long run what it does is that it diminishes the stature of the United States and the capability of the United States to maintain its head gemini americas economic crusade against iran is rubbing europe the wrong way to the e. U. Is in an ill tempered clash with washington over the Iran Nuclear Deal which was derailed by the us we have been saying to us that we continue saying that we regret the u. S. Decision to withdraw from good deal. And we continue to. Leading to this deal is a key element of the lobel Nuclear Nonproliferation a future. And you tickle for to the original stability. Of germanys convinced that iran should acquire have Nuclear Weapons for this reason will continue to employ all diplomatic means to keep this agreement alive it is certainly not perfect but it is an agreement and it comprises commitments by all sides. Together we have made clear our regret and concern at the decision by the United States to draw from the j c p o a and to reimpose sanctions on iran and the us is dishing out new assurances it is ready to solve all this mess with words without preconditions even we will meet with them where want to sit down discuss without precondition a new way forward a a series of steps by which iran becomes a more normal country but in the past few years with iran alone the us went back on its word had 0 interest in its allies concerns and assassinated a high profile official they unilaterally branded a terrorist just a few months before so the u. S. Can talk up diplomacy for sure theyre one of the best at it you do have a hard time to find a nother country with a case of selective amnesia this severe for the promises it had made.

Project will lift the local economy and bring peace but crucially it will create jobs and that will keep eritreans in their homeland to not crossing on both to european shorts. In directly supporting this project by sharing material to help build the road problem is that what they need to make sure is that any support going to eritrea is not.
