[00:00:00] In the war with Iran, time is on the side of Donald Trump's government. In
[00:00:03] contrast, Senator Chris Murphy, a US Democrat who recently visited the
[00:00:07] Middle East, says Iran's attacks have been so severe that
[00:00:11] US bases in Bahrain and Qatar are no longer
[00:00:14] usable. Khashayar
[00:00:17] Janidi, our correspondent from our Washington studio, is on the program.
[00:00:20] Khashayar, tell us more about Mr. Trump's and US officials' statements.
[00:00:23] We are currently in the election campaign
[00:00:27] period. In recent days,
[00:00:31] Mr. Trump has traveled to various states and given election
[00:00:35] speeches, and his message in these
[00:00:38] speeches is usually the same: that America has the
[00:00:42] upper hand and will soon deal with Iran
[00:00:45] and the war will end and America will be victorious. Yesterday
[00:00:49] and last night, he also gave a speech, talking about facing
[00:00:52] a "mad country" - referring to the Iranian
[00:00:56] government, of course - and saying that very soon, he said,
[00:01:00] "They don't realize that I've been patient with them so far. By the time
[00:01:03] this election is over, the war will end very
[00:01:06] quickly." And he said it's possible that Iran wants to take
[00:01:10] action before the US elections, in which case the US will very
[00:01:13] quickly deal with them and end the matter.
[00:01:17] These statements by Mr. Trump are usually a repetition that we hear
[00:01:20] every night, and he's talking about this issue in the elections to
[00:01:24] reassure his supporters that the economic situation
[00:01:28] will very quickly return to its pre-war
[00:01:32] state. However, today, as is customary on
[00:01:35] Sundays when news networks
[00:01:39] or major US networks invite important guests and talk to
[00:01:43] them, Mnuchin, the US Secretary of the
[00:01:46] Treasury, was a guest on Fox News, and
[00:01:49] he was talking about the
[00:01:52] success of this economic campaign against Iran and the pressure
[00:01:56] it is putting on the Iranian government. Mr.
[00:02:00] Mnuchin predicted that Iran would reach a point in two to four
[00:02:03] months where it would be forced to accept all of
[00:02:06] America's conditions because the financial pressure on it is very
[00:02:10] high, and as I spoke with Mr. Mnuchin's
[00:02:14] deputy three days ago, he used the expression that
[00:02:17] Iran will eventually kneel before America. These are the things they
[00:02:21] say, of course, and Mr. Mnuchin predicted that
[00:02:24] in the continuation of this campaign and economic pressure, the Iranian government will eventually
[00:02:28] accept America's economic
[00:02:32] conditions, or that this continued
[00:02:35] pressure will cause discord in the Revolutionary Guard, or that
[00:02:39] Tehran will eventually accept to abandon its nuclear program
[00:02:42] and enter into negotiations with America. These were, of course, the statements
[00:02:46] Mr. Mnuchin was making. He referred to the fact that
[00:02:50] it has become very difficult for Iranians to travel outside of Iran.
[00:02:54] He said that government officials and the elite of the government now find it
[00:02:58] difficult to go to London, or to Paris, or to
[00:03:01] Switzerland to check their bank accounts. They are facing
[00:03:05] difficulties. Criticism from Democrats
[00:03:09] is also being widely reported. They now seem
[00:03:12] to have significantly increased
[00:03:14] their level of criticism
[00:03:18] against Mr. Trump.
[00:03:22] Democrats are now focusing their criticism
[00:03:24] on two main axes.
[00:03:28] The first axis is the discussion of the recent agreements Mr. Trump
[00:03:32] had with Mr. Putin. Two days ago, Mr.
[00:03:35] Trump and Mr. Putin spoke on the phone. Mr. Putin promised Mr. Trump
[00:03:38] that he would send 300,000 tons of diesel to
[00:03:42] international markets. This is a very important
[00:03:45] point for Mr. Trump on the eve of the elections.
[00:03:48] He hopes that this action will help
[00:03:51] lower diesel prices, especially in the US, where it is over $6
[00:03:55] per gallon. Of course, analysts say
[00:03:58] this will have little impact on the market in the long run.
[00:04:30] Saudi Arabia can defend itself, and America should not enter the war between Saudi Arabia
[00:04:34] and the Houthis, as it would make the situation more complicated.
[00:04:37] He said Mr. Trump had no preparation for this war before the war with Iran,
[00:04:41] and the example he gave, according to him, is
[00:04:44] that in the early days of the war, Iran managed to damage
[00:04:48] two major US bases that cost billions of dollars in Bahrain and
[00:04:52] Qatar, and practically, the situation is getting
[00:04:56] tougher every day. Thank you, Khashayar
[00:04:59] Janidi. Ukraine says that
[00:05:01] Russia has once again attacked
[00:05:04] its energy
[00:05:06] infrastructure. Volodymyr Zelensky announced in a statement
[00:05:09] that the Kremlin carried out this attack precisely after
[00:05:13] US President Donald Trump claimed Moscow and Kyiv had
[00:05:17] agreed to stop attacks on each other's energy
[00:05:20] facilities. Of course, Zelensky also told American media Axios
[00:05:24] that he was unaware of any such agreement and asked the Trump administration
[00:05:28] to inform his country of its details.
[00:05:31] The President of Ukraine also announced that if a two-month ceasefire is reached in
[00:05:35] Ukraine, presidential elections will be
[00:05:38] held. Matthew Bryza,
[00:05:41] former Ambassador of the United States to the Republic
[00:05:44] of Azerbaijan, and also former Deputy Assistant Secretary
[00:05:48] of State for European Affairs, is with us from
[00:05:51] Istanbul. Mr.
[00:05:54] Bryza, welcome to the program.
[00:05:57] First, why is Mr. Trump putting so much pressure on
[00:06:00] Zelensky?
[00:06:01] Thank you for giving me this
[00:06:08] opportunity to be with you. I think that
[00:06:11] President Trump again, like
[00:06:15] in the past, like February 2025,
[00:06:18] he is repeating the same thing he has done.
[00:06:22] He doesn't think strategically, he is
[00:06:25] thinking about elections. Somehow
[00:06:28] President Putin has tricked him this
[00:06:31] way, he has convinced
[00:06:35] him that Zelensky wants to continue the war,
[00:06:38] he has convinced him that, for example, Putin
[00:06:43] wants to end the war, and
[00:06:46] then he has shown that, for example,
[00:06:50] he has convinced him that he wants to help him lower
[00:06:53] the price of gasoline before the midterm elections. That's
[00:06:57] why I think President Trump is now really thinking about the political
[00:07:01] legacy of the Republican Party and his own political legacy,
[00:07:04] rather than about the strategic interests of the US and
[00:07:07] its European allies, instead of thinking about how to
[00:07:11] stop Russia from destroying Ukraine. You
[00:07:14] mentioned the conflict with Iran. Hasn't Mr. Trump
[00:07:18] by attacking Iran put himself in a position
[00:07:22] where he has no choice but to, for example,
[00:07:25] extend a helping hand to Vladimir Putin and
[00:07:29] ask for his
[00:07:30] help?
[00:07:35] No, I don't think so. I think President Trump has
[00:07:38] many options.
[00:07:41] For example, he can see that Putin's
[00:07:45] imposed war against Ukraine is really an
[00:07:48] imposed war, meaning Russia can end it whenever
[00:07:52] it wants. If Zelensky wants to end the war now,
[00:07:55] it will be the end of Ukraine, but Russia can start a war whenever it wants. But in
[00:07:59] relation to Iran,
[00:08:01] the US can reach a ceasefire
[00:08:05] with Iran whenever it wants. They had
[00:08:08] a ceasefire in the past. Both sides, I think, both
[00:08:12] Iran and the US, are adhering to the main provisions and memorandum of understanding.
[00:08:16] It's just a matter of the timetable and timing. Who
[00:08:20] will do what first? Will Iran stop its attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz
[00:08:24] first, or will, for example,
[00:08:27] the US lift sanctions and
[00:08:31] release Iran's assets? So there's a lot
[00:08:34] of room for Iran to negotiate,
[00:08:38] to negotiate with the Revolutionary Guard. But regarding
[00:08:41] the Ukraine issue and the Russia-Ukraine
[00:08:44] war, President Trump himself has decided and chosen
[00:08:48] to side with Putin because he has always had a general inclination towards Russia and Putin.
[00:08:51] It seems that regarding Iran, the issue has become very
[00:08:55] sensitive for Mr. Trump. That is, it's hard
[00:08:59] for him to back down from his position and show
[00:09:03] flexibility. But why is this not the case in other
[00:09:06] areas? For example, he often shows flexibility regarding China. Regarding
[00:09:10] Russia, his opinion was different before. He had
[00:09:13] said that he was disappointed with Mr. Putin, but now he is saying
[00:09:17] things that are pleasing to Mr. Putin,
[00:09:20] probably.
[00:09:24] Yes, that's a very good question you are
[00:09:28] asking me. I don't think anyone can
[00:09:31] understand the mental complexities of Donald Trump, I don't even think he himself
[00:09:35] understands. I think Donald Trump
[00:09:38] completely lacks a strategic mindset.
[00:09:42] He doesn't think about America at all, he mostly thinks about Donald
[00:09:46] Trump, he mostly thinks about himself. Instead
[00:09:49] of having a systematic mind regarding foreign policy,
[00:09:53] he himself has said he has no interest in
[00:09:57] history, his historical information is also weak, and
[00:10:00] he doesn't know how geopolitical powers and military
[00:10:04] powers can work together to reach a compromise
[00:10:07] with an opponent. Anyway, every
[00:10:11] war ultimately ends
[00:10:14] with a political agreement,
[00:10:18] unless it's World War II where Hitler committed
[00:10:21] suicide. Anyway, but
[00:10:24] Trump thinks in his mind that if he puts a lot of military pressure
[00:10:27] on Iran, Iran will surrender. But the Iranian
[00:10:31] government has shown that this is not true. Thank
[00:10:35] you very much, Mr. Bryza. Matthew Bryza, former
[00:10:38] US Ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan,
[00:10:42] and also former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and
[00:10:45] Eurasian Affairs. Floods in northern Iran in the past
[00:10:49] two days have caused roads to be flooded, power and communication
[00:10:53] lines to be cut, and at least one death in Golestan province. In addition
[00:10:57] to this province, which has suffered the most damage, the provinces of
[00:11:00] Mazandaran, North Khorasan, Ardabil, and Semnan have also been
[00:11:03] affected by these floods. Rescue workers' efforts to help
[00:11:07] flood victims continue. This is happening at a time when at least four
[00:11:11] people in Iran have lost their lives due to floods and their resulting
[00:11:15] damages since the beginning of this year. Siavash
[00:11:17] Ardalan reports. This year, Iran has had good
[00:11:21] rainfall, and this is good news for the environment and for farmers
[00:11:25] in areas that have been struggling with drought for
[00:11:28] years. However, heavy rainfall also brings
[00:11:32] disaster and hardship for many. The large volume of
[00:11:36] rainfall in the past two days in the northern provinces, North Khorasan,
[00:11:39] Semnan, and Ardabil, has caused
[00:11:42] floods. In North Khorasan and Ardabil, the damage is
[00:11:46] minor, but in the provinces of Golestan and Mazandaran,
[00:11:50] the damages have been extensive. Minoodasht to Qaleh
[00:11:53] Qafeh road. The route you are seeing
[00:11:57] is currently blocked and damaged.
[00:12:00] Our highest rainfall in Golestan province was 147
[00:12:04] millimeters. 14 villages on the
[00:12:07] Qaleh Qafeh axis are now blocked,
[00:12:10] and 19 of our villages have lost power. The Crisis Management Organization
[00:12:14] during this period. The head of the Crisis Management Organization today
[00:12:17] defended his organization's performance to reporters.
[00:12:20] When a flood occurs, unfortunately,
[00:12:23] but they were not spared from
[00:12:27] critical questions. One of the reasons that
[00:12:31] rainfall causes floods, apart from the intensity
[00:12:34] of the rainfall, is human encroachment on nature and the
[00:12:38] ecosystem. Encroachment on river boundaries,
[00:12:41] improper water management for agricultural reasons,
[00:12:45] and in northern provinces, fish farming, as well as
[00:12:48] not dredging rivers in time. Since
[00:12:51] the beginning of this year, different parts of Iran have witnessed
[00:12:55] dozens of floods. Since the beginning of the year until today, which is approximately
[00:12:59] 18-19 days into the water year,
[00:13:02] we have had 35 cases
[00:13:05] of floods resulting in damage in various parts of the country,
[00:13:08] and unfortunately, as of today, four of
[00:13:12] our compatriots have died due to floods.
[00:13:15] All four of these were in Golestan
[00:13:18] province, and we still have two missing people in Golestan
[00:13:22] province due to the floods, and
[00:13:25] searches are still ongoing. Of the two women who went missing
[00:13:29] yesterday in Minoodasht, one was found an hour
[00:13:33] ago with the help of rescue forces. It is predicted
[00:13:36] that in the coming days, the southern and southeastern
[00:13:40] provinces along the Zagros Mountains will also experience heavy rainfall.
[00:13:43] These are provinces that have previously suffered from devastating
[00:13:47] and deadly floods. With the intensification
[00:13:50] of climate change and also the El Niño
[00:13:54] phenomenon, drought on one side and torrential rainfall on the other
[00:13:57] will affect many communities around the
[00:14:01] world. Siavash
[00:14:04] Ardalan, BBC . The
[00:14:07] war and the crises resulting from it in recent months have had a profound impact on
[00:14:11] children and adolescents in Iran. Many families are
[00:14:14] concerned about the increase in anxiety among their children and
[00:14:17] don't know how to explain the situation to their children. A question
[00:14:21] that is often asked is how to talk to children and
[00:14:25] adolescents about the possibility of another attack on Iran.
[00:14:28] At the same time, the head of the Iranian Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has
[00:14:32] said that during recent crises, school dropout and suicide
[00:14:36] attempts have increased. Let's hear a portion of the statements by Javad
[00:14:39] Allaghbandian, head of the Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,
[00:14:43] and we will discuss this further.
[00:14:45] You said that during the war, what
[00:14:49] problems have increased? Now, a systematic study
[00:14:52] or a study that has comprehensively investigated
[00:14:56] it, I don't remember any being done. You think it
[00:15:00] takes time, yes, it takes time. But my clinical
[00:15:03] impression and from my clients and my overall
[00:15:07] assessment is that
[00:15:09] we have had a lot of dropouts from schools, meaning children
[00:15:13] who have abandoned their studies or are not studying or are finding
[00:15:17] various ways to avoid studying.
[00:15:20] Schools are also forced in many cases to give
[00:15:24] grades, and
[00:15:29] this is a phenomenon that was observed during and after Corona
[00:15:33] all over the world. Now in America, statistics.
[00:16:08] Dr. Arash Javanbakht, a psychiatrist specializing in
[00:16:12] anxiety and the head of the Stress, Trauma and Anxiety Research Clinic
[00:16:15] at Wayne State University in the US, is with us
[00:16:19] from Detroit. Welcome to the program, Mr. Javanbakht.
[00:16:23] Well, the main challenge is really how to talk to children,
[00:16:26] especially in a situation like Iran where
[00:16:29] the level of war might
[00:16:33] escalate again, and we might witness events
[00:16:36] like what we've seen in the past year or two.
[00:16:40] Thank you for your kindness. Well, this is a situation that can be said to be
[00:16:43] one of the worst situations that a country can be in, and
[00:16:47] many unknowns and lack of control are
[00:16:50] present in it. The first stage of acceptance is that
[00:16:54] both parents themselves are in a very difficult situation, and
[00:16:57] also that children and adolescents, what we know
[00:17:01] is that especially
[00:17:04] younger children, as well as adolescents,
[00:17:07] much of their understanding of the level of danger,
[00:17:10] the level of badness of the situation, the hardships, their
[00:17:14] gaze is on their parents. That is, the more agitated and anxious
[00:17:18] the parents are, and the more they look at social media
[00:17:21] and the more they express these negative
[00:17:24] emotions, the more fear and despair the children will feel. So I know
[00:17:28] it's very difficult, but one of the most important things a parent can do is
[00:17:31] to, for the child, perhaps at least not express
[00:17:35] those negative emotions as much in front of the children. A lot
[00:17:39] of the sense of security that children can feel comes from their parents.
[00:17:42] And of course, we don't want to lie. So the first step is to listen to the child.
[00:17:46] Many times I remember children, for example, say something, and parents say, "No, it's not important."
[00:17:50] For example, no, that child understands and goes to find
[00:17:53] someone else to answer them. Therefore, the most
[00:17:57] important first step is listening. Just listening by itself
[00:18:00] does a lot for any person, and even more so for children.
[00:18:04] Once we have heard their worries and pains,
[00:18:08] the next step is to provide that child with the necessary
[00:18:11] sense of security. That is, "Look, for example, here in this city
[00:18:15] where we are, the possibility of attack is very low. Here, even if there is an attack,
[00:18:18] in war, usually they don't target people's homes. It's military
[00:18:22] centers, it's a war between military
[00:18:25] forces." And then the areas we can control, because
[00:18:28] unfortunately, the situation takes away the sense of control from many.
[00:18:31] We can't control many things, who might attack
[00:18:35] from the other side, who might get cut off, this problem might
[00:18:38] arise. But there are things we can control, family routines.
[00:18:42] Sitting together and watching a movie, eating this meal together, because parents' morale might
[00:18:45] not be good, but it's important that they together, "Every
[00:18:49] week we go to the park on Saturdays or Fridays."
[00:18:52] We should maintain these routines. Where we can control,
[00:18:56] we should bring more control. Thank you very
[00:18:59] much, Doctor. It has been said that school
[00:19:02] dropout has increased, even suicide attempts have increased. In such
[00:19:06] cases, people usually consult specialists like
[00:19:09] you. Now, the economic situation is also very bad. How much is
[00:19:12] counselling available for a middle-class
[00:19:15] or even lower-middle-class family
[00:19:17] in these economic
[00:19:20] circumstances?
[00:19:22] Unfortunately, since I am outside Iran, I don't have information,
[00:19:26] but where there is the ability to consult, well, anyone, even
[00:19:30] if there's a wise person in the family
[00:19:34] who is calmer, has more control over themselves.
[00:19:38] Or there's a teacher who can be a good listener and can be
[00:19:41] listened to. Well, counselors, psychologists,
[00:19:44] psychiatrists, even general practitioners, pediatricians, these
[00:19:48] people can often be talked to because there are some things
[00:19:51] that a family cannot handle itself anymore. There are warning signs when a child
[00:19:55] isolates themselves, feels guilt,
[00:19:58] feels useless. In such a situation,
[00:20:02] well, Doctor, we have access to you now. Do you have
[00:20:05] a message or anything
[00:20:08] to tell young people and adolescents, and
[00:20:12] can you provide that
[00:20:14] counseling in general? I want to say this frankly.
[00:20:17] I left Iran about 18 years ago,
[00:20:21] and I want to say that this generation that I am seeing, this
[00:20:25] generation of teenagers and young people that I am seeing now, is not
[00:20:28] comparable to my generation. That is, you are much
[00:20:32] wiser than us, much bolder, you have much
[00:20:35] more resources, you are more capable
[00:20:37] than us. I know it's very difficult, I know there are many
[00:20:41] things you don't control, I know there are many
[00:20:44] disappointments in the environment, but look, this
[00:20:47] is a country that has overcome these hardships for centuries
[00:20:50] and continued. And your generation, these
[00:20:54] social transformations that you have created and achieved, my generation
[00:20:58] could not even imagine. I say this frankly.
[00:21:02] If my generation could survive, I see a much brighter
[00:21:05] future for you than my generation, and do you
[00:21:09] think there's anything specific they should do? We have one minute, very briefly.
[00:21:13] Wherever you can control, speak.
[00:21:17] Don't be alone, speak. With friends, if
[00:21:21] you want to complain, be together with family, whoever
[00:21:24] listens, talk to them. If
[00:21:27] your friend is in this situation, go to their house and talk
[00:21:31] to them. We know that this support and social support
[00:21:35] is one of the most important factors that reduces despair,
[00:21:39] depression, thoughts of death, and the places where you can control,
[00:21:43] as much as you can, you can exercise, you can go together, I don't know, eat food somewhere,
[00:21:46] you can go to the park together, whatever you can, that lesson you can
[00:21:50] learn, read, that ability you can skill, whatever you can, the more
[00:21:54] you do what you can control, the less difficult it
[00:21:57] will be. Thank you very much, Mr. Dr. Javanbakht, Dr. Arash Javanbakht,
[00:22:01] psychiatrist specializing in anxiety,
[00:22:04] from Detroit, USA,
[00:22:06] with
[00:22:08] us. Nine months after the suppression of the latest wave of
[00:22:12] protests in Iran, a number of mothers who lost their children
[00:22:16] in the December massacre released videos in which
[00:22:20] they place nine apples next to their children's photos and
[00:22:23] mention their absence during this time. These apples
[00:22:26] symbolize nine months of pregnancy and maternal
[00:22:30] hopes and dreams that have now given way to
[00:22:33] grief and seeking justice. Let's watch a portion of these
[00:22:36] images together, with a warning that the content we are
[00:22:40] about to see may be disturbing to many of
[00:22:43] our viewers.
[00:22:46] My dear son, you grew in my
[00:22:50] being. Nine months you grew in my
[00:22:53] being. With joy,
[00:22:57] with love, with
[00:23:00] hope, with
[00:23:02] a smile, with impatience,
[00:23:06] with life,
[00:23:10] longing,
[00:23:13] anticipation,
[00:23:15] embrace.
[00:23:18] You grew up, you got big, you came
[00:23:20] into the world. It's been nine months since you're
[00:23:23] gone,
[00:23:25] and I have laid out nine
[00:23:28] apples for you.
[00:23:32] My dear daughter, I dedicate these scattered
[00:23:35] flowers
[00:23:38] to you, my scattered daughter.
[00:23:40] I will
[00:23:45] not forget
[00:23:46] you. And I will
[00:24:50] miss you, you had been shot, I would go around your head. Blood was coming from your
[00:24:53] mouth, you wouldn't let me know. Until that last
[00:24:57] moment, you were taking care of me. You were a very good
[00:25:01] child. They took you from me in the most brutal
[00:25:04] way possible. Now, it's been nine months since you're gone. Nine
[00:25:08] months have passed, and I still don't understand how the
[00:25:11] world continues without you. How
[00:25:15] does morning come? How do people laugh? How do they
[00:25:18] live when a mother has to endure the absence of
[00:25:22] her daughter, and a piece of
[00:25:23] her being
[00:25:26] has been torn away, when all her heart was attached to her
[00:25:29] existence? No mother should be forced to
[00:25:33] kiss
[00:25:35] her child's photo instead of kissing
[00:25:39] her face, to relive her memories instead of hearing her voice,
[00:25:42] and to live with her absence instead of hugging
[00:25:45] her. Finally, for the light of your existence that, even
[00:25:49] when you left me, remained
[00:25:53] bright in my heart and my land.
[00:25:56] For the light of your existence that did not extinguish with your
[00:25:59] departure, and that light is now very
[00:26:02] bright in my heart and in the hearts of many others,
[00:26:06] and the meaning of motherhood for me is now
[00:26:09] to keep your name and memory alive.
[00:26:12] I am proud of you,
[00:26:16] my daughter. Today, tomorrow,
[00:26:19] and as long as I live,
[00:26:23] my breath, tonight, behind this
[00:26:27] window, night is
[00:26:30] lurking.
[00:26:33] Thank you for watching the 60 minutes until the end. You can watch this program and
[00:26:36] our previous programs on the BBC Persian website
[00:26:40] as well as on our YouTube channel. I should also
[00:26:44] add that parts of this program will be available on our
[00:26:48] social media accounts, including our account on X, and

[00:26:54] or podcast of this program on our Telegram
[00:26:57] channel, as well as on podcast platforms.
[00:27:00] Thank you.
[00:27:40] I'm almost less than one and a
[00:27:43] half. I'm really not sure if where
[00:27:47] we are standing is in Iranian Kurdistan or in Iraqi
[00:27:50] Kurdistan. We will try to cover
[00:27:54] live everything that is happening here for
[00:27:56] you.
[00:27:59] Tell us what we know, what are the new details.
[00:28:03] They moved the meeting forward by one hour and quickly left
[00:28:07] here. They are not
[00:28:10] tourists at the Turkish border, but they are not
[00:28:14] refugees either. Here, they were attacked
[00:28:17] by Israeli forces' airstrikes.
[00:28:20] The images we are receiving are very limited due to internet
[00:28:24] disruption.
[00:28:25] Minute-by-minute
[00:28:28] news coverage on television, social networks.
[00:28:31] Nawaz Sharif returned, and I
[00:28:35] said they will never reach an agreement until Afghans
[00:28:38] decide to set aside their personal interests and reach an
[00:28:42] agreement in which everyone has a stake,
[00:28:46] no peace will be established. Iran shares
[00:28:49] over a thousand kilometers of border with Afghanistan.
[00:28:52] As long as Iran is not involved in the peace agreement,
[00:28:56] no peace will be established in Afghanistan.
[00:28:59] Interview with Benon Sevan, former UN representative in
[00:29:03] Afghanistan, who recently passed
[00:30:30] away. Hello everyone, and welcome to a short news segment. With the continuation
[00:30:33] of missile attacks by Yemen's Houthis on Saudi
[00:30:36] Arabia, BP has withdrawn from the international
[00:30:40] energy conference in Riyadh, and reports indicate the cancellation
[00:30:43] of attendance by CEOs of several other major oil companies.
[00:30:47] Yesterday, Riyadh International Airport was again
[00:30:50] targeted, and now the number of attacks
[00:30:54] in recent days has reached 14. The Aviation Administration
[00:30:57] The U.S. on the danger of flying to Saudi Arabia or crossing
[00:31:01] its airspace.
