STORY OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS
WHERE SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE
POMPEO IS DEMANDING SANCTIONS BE
REINSTATED AGAINST IRAN.
IT COMES AFTER THE UN SECURITY
COUNCIL REJECTED AN EFFORT TO
EXTEND THE ARMS EMBARGO AGAINST
IRAN.
THERES A MECHANISM BUILT INTO
THE ARMS DEAL SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT OBAMA IN 2015.
THE PRESIDENT SAID HIS DECISION
IN 2018 TO ABANDON THAT SAME
DEAL HAS MADE THE WORLD SAFER.
JOINING ME NOW IS AMBASSADOR
WENDY SHERMAN.
SHE SERVED DURING THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION AND WAS THE LEAD
NEGOTIATOR FOR THE IRAN NUCLEAR
DEAL.
LETS BEGIN WITH WHAT WELL SEE
AT THE UNITED NATIONS.
CHINA, RUSSIA, UNITED KINGDOM,
GERMANY AND FRANCE DONT BELIEVE
THE PRESIDENT HAS THE POWER TO
REINFORCE BECAUSE HE WITHDREW
FROM THE DEAL BACK IN 2018.
WHATS YOUR TAKE ON THIS?
>> MY TAKE IS THAT THE PRESIDENT
HAS ONCE AGAIN ISOLATED THE
UNITED STATES FROM THE REST OF
THE WORLD INSTEAD OF ISOLATING
IRAN FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD.
WERE WAITING FOR SECRETARY
POMPEO TO MAKE REMARKS.
SUPPOSEDLY HES MET WITH THE
SECURITY GENERAL.
AS YOU STATED EUROPE, RUSSIA,
CHINA NONE OF THEM BELIEVE THE
UNITED STATES HAS STANDING TO
BRING THIS SNAP-BACK RESOLUTION.
WE WERE QUITE CLEAR WHEN WE WERE
NEGOTIATING THIS DEAL ONLY
PARTICIPANTS OF THE DEAL COULD
USE THIS SNAP-BACK MECHANISM AND
DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID THE U.S.
IS NO LONGER PARTICIPATING IN
THE DEAL.
MY SENSE IS THIS WILL END WITH A
SILENCE, NOT A BANG AT THE END
OF THE DAY.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF BACK ROOM
DISCUSSIONS.
I THINK THE UNITED STATES WILL
NOT BE SUCCESSFUL HERE.
EVEN IF SOMEHOW THEY CAN PULL
SOMETHING OFF, I DONT THINK
ANYBODY WILL PAY MUCH ATTENTION.
ONE LAST POINT, AYMAN, I NEVER
THOUGHT I WOULD AGREE WITH JOHN
BOLTON ON ANYTHING.
HE WROTE A "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
OP-ED SAYING THIS ACTION WOULD
WEAKEN THE VETO WITH THE UNITED
