[00:00:26] Salman's trip to Cairo in an attempt to confront the Houthis.
[00:01:00] Western concerns about the Iranian government's new spyware. The US, UK, and Netherlands
[00:01:03] say it aims to collect
[00:01:07] information from activists, dissidents, and journalists.

[00:01:12] Concerns about the rapid development of artificial intelligence. One of the tech giants has suggested
[00:01:16] creating an emergency stop button.

[00:01:22] The main danger is how much chance we have to confront
[00:01:26] a system that is 100 times smarter than the smartest human on Earth.
[00:01:48] Hello, good evening, and welcome to this news program from BBC Persian.
[00:01:52] I'm Farnoosh Shahrokhi. Saudi Arabia
[00:01:55] says it will respond decisively to Houthi attacks in Yemen.
[00:01:59] According to Riyadh, in the latest attacks by the Iran-backed group,
[00:02:03] 13 people were injured in Saudi Arabia. Recently, the Houthis,
[00:02:06] in addition to intensifying attacks on Saudi Arabia, have captured
[00:02:10] strategic points on the western coast of Yemen
[00:02:13] and consolidated control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
[00:02:17] The possibility of further disruption to shipping in this important waterway,
[00:02:21] alongside the Strait of Hormuz, has heightened concerns about
[00:02:24] the global energy crisis. Brent crude oil prices
[00:02:28] rose 2% today to over $108
[00:02:31] a barrel. Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince,
[00:02:35] met yesterday with the Commander of the US Central Command about this crisis,
[00:02:38] and today he held talks with the Egyptian President in Cairo.
[00:02:42] Baran Abbasi has more details.
[00:02:44] بیشتر.
[00:02:47] Taiz, southwest Yemen. Houthi forces are celebrating
[00:02:51] after capturing several strategic cities that were previously
[00:02:54] held by the official Yemeni government.
[00:02:57] Among them is Perim Island at the mouth
[00:03:00] of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which has solidified the control
[00:03:04] of this Iran-backed group over this important waterway.
[00:03:06] A waterway whose potential closure
[00:03:10] could worsen the global energy crisis.
[00:03:13] Qatar has warned about its severe
[00:03:17] consequences.
[00:03:19] The world is already facing enough problems with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:03:23] and we cannot allow the Bab al-Mandab Strait to be
[00:03:27] added to this equation. This will be catastrophic
[00:03:31] for the whole world. Therefore, Qatar emphasizes
[00:03:35] diplomacy and dialogue.
[00:03:37] For weeks, the Houthis have banned Saudi ships from passing through
[00:03:40] this strait.
[00:03:43] At the same time, this group has intensified its attacks
[00:03:46] on Saudi territory. This photo, which the Saudi Civil Defense Organization
[00:03:49] says is a consequence of one of these attacks on a mosque
[00:03:53] in Jizan. But the Houthis say they targeted military
[00:03:57] objectives. In response to these attacks from Saudi Arabia and
[00:04:00] the official government of Yemen. This has increased concerns
[00:04:04] about further disruptions to energy supply, especially after
[00:04:08] the attack a few days ago on the East-West pipeline
[00:04:11] in Saudi Arabia. This satellite image shows a section
[00:04:15] of this pipeline south of Medina before the attack, and this
[00:04:19] is the same spot after the incident. Saudi Arabia
[00:04:22] has blamed Iran-backed proxies in Iraq for this attack.
[00:04:25] An attack that has temporarily halted oil
[00:04:29] transfers through this pipeline. Saudi Arabia's tool for transferring oil
[00:04:32] to the Red Sea without needing to pass through the Strait
[00:04:36] of Hormuz. The Islamic Republic says the Houthis
[00:04:40] and other militant groups it supports act independently.
[00:04:43] However, increasing tensions in the Bab
[00:04:46] al-Mandab Strait, alongside the Strait of Hormuz, have become
[00:04:50] another lever of pressure in Iran's hands. Hopefully,
[00:04:53] in the coming days, this response from the Secretary of Iran's Supreme
[00:04:56] National Security Council to the possibility of resuming negotiations
[00:05:00] by Donald Trump, with conflicting messages from the US President
[00:05:04] ranging from "no negotiations" to "we are ready for talks,"
[00:05:07] emphasizes that you should not be distracted because the oil and strait
[00:05:11] equations have changed. Attempts to manage
[00:05:14] the damage cannot stop what is coming.
[00:05:17] As long as Iran's conditions are not met,
[00:05:21] there will be no negotiations. That's it.
[00:05:24] Conditions that, according to the IRGC spokesman,
[00:05:28] also include what has been called the end of the blockade of Yemen.
[00:05:31] Alongside a complete ceasefire,
[00:05:34] Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon, the release
[00:05:37] of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, and the end
[00:05:41] of what is described as US interference in Iran's
[00:05:45] nuclear and missile capabilities. The question
[00:05:47] is whether relying on the leverage of the Strait of Hormuz and now
[00:05:51] Bab al-Mandab might lead Iran to achieve these demands?
[00:05:53] Or will increasing pressure on vital energy
[00:05:57] transfer routes eventually lead to a larger crisis
[00:06:01] whose consequences will also be difficult for Iran
[00:06:04] to control? Baran Abbasi, BBC.
[00:06:08] سی.
[00:06:11] Farzin Nadimi, military affairs analyst, is with us from Washington.
[00:06:15] Welcome, Mr. Nadimi. We know that so far the Houthis
[00:06:19] have expanded their control over one of the most important
[00:06:22] shipping routes in the world. But can we understand
[00:06:26] what their strategy is from now on?
[00:06:30] As you said, the Houthis have deployed
[00:06:34] on the eastern shore of Bab al-Mandab
[00:06:37] and have captured several islands.
[00:06:40] It seems that
[00:06:43] they want to have more control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait,
[00:06:46] but they are closer to the coast
[00:06:49] and can with
[00:06:53] short-range weapons have a significant
[00:06:56] impact
[00:06:58] on shipping. Currently, about 20 ships
[00:07:02] pass through Bab al-Mandab daily,
[00:07:06] compared to 50 ships before the war.
[00:07:09] But the Houthis are currently exercising what they call
[00:07:12] discretionary control over specific ships,
[00:07:16] such as Saudi oil tankers
[00:07:19] or Israeli ones that have historical ties
[00:07:23] to Israel. And in my opinion, one of the ways
[00:07:27] they will pursue in the future, given that they have specifically
[00:07:30] occupied these islands, is to establish a type
[00:07:34] of toll system for ships passing through
[00:07:37] the Bab al-Mandab Strait. This is because
[00:07:41] in the past, they could exert power from
[00:07:45] farther coasts in Bab al-Mandab. There was no need
[00:07:49] to physically occupy the coast of Bab al-Mandab.
[00:07:52] But now they can,
[00:07:55] if they decide, also take action to collect
[00:07:59] tolls. The clashes that are still ongoing in Taiz province
[00:08:03] give reason to expect that if the Houthis maintain
[00:08:07] their momentum and energy,
[00:08:10] and even increase it, they will advance towards Taiz,
[00:08:13] engage in conflict there, and try to capture
[00:08:17] this very strategic city. And then perhaps
[00:08:20] they might even consider Aden province
[00:08:24] in the future if Saudi Arabia's military
[00:08:26] support for government forces is not successful.
[00:08:30] On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is also trying
[00:08:33] to resolve the issue. Today, he went
[00:08:36] to Egypt, and it doesn't seem that Egypt wants to cooperate.
[00:08:40] As Sisi said, he
[00:08:43] actually supports diplomacy more. Do you think
[00:08:47] Saudi Arabia, in this case,
[00:08:50] has any other choice than to activate , for example, the Mecca Pact,
[00:08:54] or is there even such potential? Well,
[00:08:58] fundamentally, the Mecca Pact, although from Saudi Arabia's perspective
[00:09:00] it is a pact that helps the security of this country,
[00:09:04] helps Saudi Arabia's energy security,
[00:09:07] but perhaps it can be said that other
[00:09:11] countries that have joined and will join this pact
[00:09:14] will have their own specific views and will act more cautiously
[00:09:18] than Saudi Arabia expects. And even if
[00:09:21] we assume that Turkey and
[00:09:25] Pakistan decide
[00:09:28] to come to the aid of Saudi Arabia within
[00:09:31] the framework of the Mecca Pact in
[00:09:34] similar security conditions, this will take
[00:09:37] time. This pact is newly established, and coordination among
[00:09:41] the forces is still lacking. Although Pakistan has had
[00:09:45] a military presence in Saudi Arabia for years, it can perhaps
[00:09:48] be expected that Pakistan will play a defensive
[00:09:51] role. I doubt that
[00:09:53] Pakistan will play a significant offensive
[00:09:56] role in this war. It's not impossible, it might happen
[00:10:00] on a limited scale in the future. The Pakistani Air Force
[00:10:04] is an efficient air force.
[00:10:08] But I think at this stage, more in terms of defense,
[00:10:11] Saudi Arabia. They can deploy air defense systems
[00:10:14] in Saudi Arabia. Even now, for example, Greece is doing
[00:10:18] this, and Greek Patriot missile batteries are deployed
[00:10:21] in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps in terms of defense, this cooperation
[00:10:31] If the reports published that the US rejected
[00:10:35] Saudi Arabia's request for military cooperation in this area
[00:10:39] are true, how much do you think this published report
[00:10:42] about a critical strategic shortage of ammunition had an impact
[00:10:46] on the US decision-making? It's not without impact. It's not without impact. In
[00:10:50] Operation Raft Rider, the US
[00:10:53] consumed a significant amount of weapons.
[00:10:58] Of course, it will depend on what the Houthis' reaction will be.
[00:11:00] If the Houthis decide to use the relatively limited number
[00:11:04] of ballistic missiles they have against American targets,
[00:11:08] then of course, a significant portion of US air defense
[00:11:12] systems in the region will be focused on defending against
[00:11:15] Houthi missiles and drones. Both fighter jets
[00:11:19] and air defense systems make America's vulnerability
[00:11:23] to its capabilities and facilities in the region
[00:11:27] to the Iranian threat, which is on the opposite side, greater.
[00:11:30] But it can be expected that in the near
[00:11:34] future, America may expand its level of cooperation with
[00:11:38] Saudi Arabia because, after all, this threat from Yemen
[00:11:41] and Iran is almost a common threat against
[00:11:45] all countries in the region. Thank you very much, Farzin Nadimi,
[00:11:48] military affairs analyst.
[00:11:51] The US Treasury Secretary, in today's meeting with members
[00:11:55] of Congress, defended the imposition of sanctions that restrict
[00:11:59] Iranian students' access to international language
[00:12:02] exams and university entrance exams in the US. Mr.
[00:12:05] Mnuchin also said that other countries around the world
[00:12:09] have joined in putting economic pressure on and isolating
[00:12:13] Iran. Bahman Kalbasi, my colleague from New York, is with us to
[00:12:16] talk more about this issue. Bahman, tell us about the details
[00:12:20] of this meeting, which seems to indicate Mr. Mnuchin supports the Trump administration's policies
[00:12:23] regarding Iran.
[00:12:28] It was expected that at the beginning of this Q&A session with members of Congress,
[00:12:32] the relevant committee in the House of Representatives,
[00:12:35] Mr. Mnuchin also emphasized
[00:12:39] that this economic pressure and isolation that the US
[00:12:42] is leading against Iran is working very effectively
[00:12:46] and has been very successful. And many countries will join
[00:12:49] it or have joined it.
[00:12:52] And he even said about China
[00:12:55] that he will meet with the Chinese Vice President
[00:12:58] in the coming days ahead of
[00:13:01] the Chinese President's visit to Washington
[00:13:05] to discuss this. And it is expected
[00:13:07] that this will be raised during Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi's
[00:13:11] meeting, that the US wants China to join
[00:13:15] in this extensive economic
[00:13:17] isolation against Iran. And some representatives also
[00:13:21] questioned him about these
[00:13:25] so-called sanctions that have led to the exclusion of
[00:13:28] Iranians from exams like TOEFL, IELTS, and GRE,
[00:13:31] which are for language proficiency for university entrance,
[00:13:35] Mr. Mnuchin gave a strange
[00:13:38] answer by saying that
[00:13:42] our goal is to free the Iranian people
[00:13:45] and for them to gain their freedom. When he was asked
[00:13:49] if Iranian students not having access
[00:13:52] to these exams would make
[00:13:55] the Iranian people more powerful against their government,
[00:13:59] he said yes.
[00:14:02] And beyond that, in this same meeting, he was protested against several times
[00:14:06] by those who oppose sanctions against Iran.
[00:14:09] They came to the meeting with
[00:14:13] some placards and interrupted his speech
[00:14:17] several times, chanting against him and saying, "Stop the sanctions,
[00:14:20] they are killing the Iranian people." The police
[00:14:24] removed and arrested one of these individuals from the meeting.
[00:14:28] However, Mr. Mnuchin still insists
[00:14:31] that this economic isolation is working and is very effective,
[00:14:35] and many countries have joined it.
[00:14:38] Thank you, Bahman. Bahman Kalbasi, my colleague from New York.
[00:14:42] نیویورک.
[00:14:44] Let's take another look at the most important headlines of this
[00:14:47] program.
[00:14:53] Saudi Arabia says it will respond decisively to Houthi attacks.
[00:14:56] Meanwhile, Iran has emphasized that the equations related
[00:15:00] to oil and straits
[00:15:02] have changed.
[00:15:10] The US Treasury Secretary, in a meeting with members
[00:15:13] of Congress, defended his country's sanctions against Iran.
[00:15:17] Scott Mnuchin said other countries have joined
[00:15:20] the economic pressure and isolation of Tehran.
[00:15:24] More in this program.
[00:15:26] Concerns about the rapid development of artificial intelligence. One of the tech
[00:15:30] giants has suggested an emergency stop button be created.
[00:15:34] شود.
[00:15:38] The US, UK, and Netherlands, in a joint cyber security
[00:15:42] warning, published details of spyware that, according
[00:15:45] to them, agents linked to the Iranian government use
[00:15:49] to target dissidents, activists, and journalists.
[00:15:53] The UK's National Cyber Security Centre announced
[00:15:57] that cyber actors associated with the Iranian government
[00:16:01] have used a family of spyware known as "Chosun Break"
[00:16:05] to steal emails, messages, and other sensitive
[00:16:08] information through targeted phishing campaigns on messaging platforms
[00:16:12] like WhatsApp and Telegram.
[00:16:15] Alireza Manafi, a researcher
[00:16:19] in internet and digital rights from Toronto, Canada, is with us.
[00:16:22] Welcome, Mr. Manafi. So, how is this happening
[00:16:26] different from the activities
[00:16:29] that the Islamic Republic has previously carried
[00:16:32] out in this area?
[00:16:34] Greetings to you. Yes, these incidents are in line with the same
[00:16:38] activities that the Islamic Republic has been carrying out for several years.
[00:16:42] Even this campaign was written about in
[00:16:45] 2023, stating that it is active. In March
[00:16:48] of this year, the FBI also warned
[00:16:52] about it, and now it has been discussed
[00:16:55] again. The only things that distinguish
[00:16:59] this campaign a little are its technical
[00:17:02] features and the fact that its focus has become
[00:17:05] more precise. For example, they closely monitor
[00:17:09] individuals. If necessary, they encourage
[00:17:13] them to do specific things. They try to understand
[00:17:16] their interests so that they can influence them
[00:17:19] and understand their needs. In one case, it was even
[00:17:23] reported that one of the targeted individuals
[00:17:27] received a file titled
[00:17:29] "MRI result," meaning they knew that this person had undergone
[00:17:33] an MRI and was waiting for the results, and they sent something
[00:17:37] to them with that name, which was actually malware.
[00:17:40] However, the point I see that has received
[00:17:44] less attention is the method
[00:17:47] of distributing this malware through messaging apps
[00:17:50] like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram.
[00:17:54] But when they send these, they encourage
[00:17:57] the user in such a way that they install
[00:18:00] or run it on their Windows device. Because
[00:18:04] this malware that they have designed is currently
[00:18:08] only executable on Windows, at least according to the information
[00:18:11] we have so far. For this reason,
[00:18:14] it may not be effective on all devices.
[00:18:18] The next point is that if someone is affected,
[00:18:21] what they should do is also important, in my opinion,
[00:18:25] to inform them. Well, if
[00:18:29] someone is compromised through this method,
[00:18:32] they should consider the next steps, which are to quickly
[00:18:35] scan their computer with antivirus software,
[00:18:39] change the passwords of all their accounts,
[00:18:42] check their accounts to see if they are connected to other devices,
[00:18:46] change their banking passwords, and in this way,
[00:18:49] take the necessary subsequent actions.
[00:18:53] That is, when they are hacked, the next actions
[00:18:56] are much more important to have an accurate
[00:19:00] and correct response to that incident.
[00:19:03] You mentioned what to do after being hacked, and...
[00:19:07] there's a step before that. How do we protect ourselves
[00:19:11] from even being attacked
[00:19:13] by these groups and getting hacked?
[00:19:17] That's right. Since these attacks are more focused on activists
[00:19:21] outside the country, and according to what has been observed,
[00:19:24] the reality is that they focus
[00:19:26] on human emotions
[00:19:29] and, for example, pretend to be a friend
[00:19:33] from elementary school or a distant relative
[00:19:36] they haven't seen for years and miss.
[00:19:39] The most important step is this social
[00:19:42] engineering. That is, when someone receives such
[00:19:45] messages, they should verify and assess their authenticity
[00:19:49] to see how true they are. When a file
[00:19:53] is sent to them, they should not quickly click on
[00:19:56] that file. For example, when an
[00:19:59] MRI report is sent, as that report said,
[00:20:03] how can someone who is waiting for the test
[00:20:06] results distinguish that this might
[00:20:10] not be real, that it's phishing? Well,
[00:20:13] logically, I think that a hospital would not send
[00:20:16] MRI results via WhatsApp and Telegram. This is one
[00:20:20] of the most basic things. And in such cases, it's very
[00:20:24] easy for the person to call the hospital they
[00:20:27] visited, for example, and ask if
[00:20:30] such a thing is from them. Or, for example, an
[00:20:34] MRI result is not an executable file.
[00:20:37] At most, it's a PDF file or an image. When
[00:20:41] someone clicks on such a thing and sees a message displayed
[00:20:45] on their device asking if they want to install this file,
[00:20:49] because all malware are software and installation
[00:20:52] files, and as a result, when such a message
[00:20:55] is displayed, it means there's something suspicious that wants to be
[00:20:59] installed on your device. In all these cases,
[00:21:02] the first thing is authenticity that needs to be checked.
[00:21:05] A person who has received malware under the guise
[00:21:09] of an image, for example, or this MRI file,
[00:21:12] for example, should go and make sure that this is really
[00:21:16] what it claims to be. Is it an MRI examination
[00:21:19] file? Is it a family photo that was sent to me?
[00:21:23] They should check its authenticity and make sure.
[00:21:26] Thank you, Alireza Manafi, internet and digital
[00:21:29] rights researcher. A few
[00:21:33] short news items. Reports from Gaza indicate
[00:21:36] that two people, including a child, were killed
[00:21:40] and seven others were injured in Israeli airstrikes
[00:21:43] on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. Palestinian media say
[00:21:47] the adult killed was a member of the civil defense forces.
[00:21:51] Witnesses said the Israeli army said it had targeted
[00:21:55] an armed individual in the area, but provided no further
[00:21:58] details. Israeli attacks have continued almost daily,
[00:22:02] despite a US-backed ceasefire.
[00:22:05] داشته.
[00:22:07] Russia and Ukraine continued their attacks on each other's
[00:22:10] energy facilities last night. This is while US President
[00:22:14] Donald Trump claimed yesterday that the parties had agreed
[00:22:18] to target energy facilities.
[00:22:28] In response, Ukraine
[00:22:30] targeted the Taganrog
[00:22:33] region with missiles and drones.
[00:22:36] Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is ready
[00:22:40] to de-escalate, provided Russia shows willingness
[00:22:44] to end the war.
[00:22:47] China, warning of an arms race in space,
[00:22:50] has called on the US not to seek to create war
[00:22:54] in space. Beijing's reaction came hours after
[00:22:58] the US confirmed that it had deployed a space weapon
[00:23:01] in Earth's orbit. An action that Washington confirmed
[00:23:05] for the first time publicly. Senior US military officials
[00:23:08] had previously cited Russia's and China's plans to disrupt
[00:23:12] US satellites as the reason for this action in space.

[00:23:20] The founder of one of the world's largest AI companies told the BBC
[00:23:24] that AI companies might need to be required
[00:23:28] to have an emergency kill switch so that if this
[00:23:31] technology gets out of control, it can be stopped.
[00:23:35] Jack Clark, the director of Anthropic, says
[00:23:38] that AI becomes smarter and more capable every few
[00:23:42] months, and this could be a serious threat to humanity.
[00:23:46] However, Donald Trump angrily rejected calls
[00:23:50] to slow down the development of AI and called
[00:23:53] concerns about its threat to humanity a big
[00:23:57] hoax. Faisal Islam, the BBC's economics editor,
[00:24:01] has a report
[00:24:01] on this.
[00:24:05] One of the AI giants, Anthropic, has called for slowing down
[00:24:08] the competition in this field. One of the whistleblowers and a number
[00:24:12] of the company's safety experts say that the probability
[00:24:15] of this technology leading to the destruction of all
[00:24:19] humans is 10% or
[00:24:50] even, if they decide to shut down power plants or destroy financial institutions,
[00:24:54] I think now is the time to clarify what this danger looks like
[00:24:57] in practice. The main danger is, what chance
[00:25:01] do we have to confront a system that is 100 times smarter
[00:25:05] than the smartest human on Earth? I think the likelihood
[00:25:08] of being able to control such a situation and come out of it safely is very low.
[00:25:12] In general, AI should be controlled as a technology
[00:25:16] because we are building things that might be smarter
[00:25:20] than humans. And things that are smarter than humans can
[00:25:23] be very dangerous. This is a matter
[00:25:26] that raises the question of an emergency kill switch.
[00:25:30] Do you have such a capability? Can you shut down the system?
[00:25:33] I think most companies have different ways to stop
[00:25:37] their systems. Yes, we also have ways to do this,
[00:25:40] but this should be part of a broader discussion about
[00:25:44] policymaking. Should companies be required to have a kill switch?
[00:25:48] Can an independent body verify
[00:26:02] it's not too late. I don't think we've reached the highest level
[00:26:06] of danger yet, but we've come close enough that we need to
[00:26:09] take the matter seriously and discuss it at national
[00:26:12] and public levels. The executives of other large
[00:26:16] companies in this industry, from Elon Musk to the CEO of ChatGPT,
[00:26:19] also agree with slowing down the development of AI,
[00:26:22] similar to Anthropic. But Donald Trump
[00:26:26] does not share this view. He has criticized Anthropic, called these concerns
[00:26:30] a hoax, and said that the only place
[00:26:33] that needs control is himself. Calls for countries to cooperate
[00:26:37] and establish a set of basic principles in this area are increasing.
[00:26:40] This has happened before with technologies that have dual
[00:26:44] uses, meaning both beneficial and harmful. Let's not forget
[00:26:48] that AI has tremendous benefits for us, but we must
[00:26:51] also be fully aware of its potential harms.
[00:26:55] Currently, investing in AI appears to be helping the UK
[00:26:59] economy grow. There is even talk of using this technology to treat
[00:27:03] cancer. But Jack Clark's team has warned that if AI is not
[00:27:06] reined in, its economic consequences could be unprecedented,
[00:27:10] and a large number of administrative and professional
[00:27:14] workers could lose their jobs. When you put all this together,
[00:27:18] is it really worth thinking about what might happen?
[00:27:20] It's terrifying.
[00:27:23] We certainly must do this correctly. If we act correctly in the development
[00:27:27] of this technology, we can change the world in many positive
[00:27:31] ways. We can truly transform the face of science
[00:27:34] and healthcare, and expand the boundaries of our capabilities
[00:27:38] and those of our children. But if we make mistakes,
[00:27:41] we will severely disrupt the economy and condemn
[00:27:45] people to poverty
[00:27:45] and misery.
[00:27:50] The clear message is that there is still an opportunity to control
[00:27:54] the pace of AI development, but not much time
[00:27:57] is left. Fazel Azlam, BBC News.
[00:27:59] With this report, we've reached
[00:28:03] the end of this news segment. Thank you for staying with BBC.
[00:29:14] Oh Joanna It's cold
[00:29:18] What's going on It burns Wake up
[00:29:22] Our lips are cold and
[00:29:26] silent Your heart is a sign I went into the
[00:29:29] shadows Without
[00:29:33] return I turned the colors
[00:29:36] of the rainbow black, one by one
[00:29:39] Let's hide our lover's nest
[00:29:42] کنیم
[00:29:45] Let's make our heart crazy,
[00:29:47] bruised
[00:29:50] Where will the light pass through our chest? Go,
[00:29:54] go. I know
[00:29:57] very well.
[00:30:00] You are so
[00:30:03] kind.
[00:30:06] We are the red children of Aban, we are light on the darkness.
[00:30:09] We are Woman, Life,
[00:30:13] Freedom.
[00:30:18] And now, on BBC Persian TV, current
[00:30:22] affairs.
[00:30:26] The islands around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, under the control
[00:30:29] of the Houthis backed by Iran, are now the Republic. Islamic talk of change.
