[00:00:00] I will continue with you in today's world.
[00:00:15] 11:30 PM and some news.
[00:00:18] The foreign ministers of Iran and Mauritania discussed the latest regional developments
[00:00:21] and ways to develop bilateral cooperation.
[00:00:25] Mr. Araghchi in a telephone conversation with Mohamed Salem Merzoug, the Foreign Minister
[00:00:29] of Mauritania, explained the latest situation of diplomatic efforts to reduce
[00:00:33] tension in the region after the aggression of the US and the Zionist
[00:00:36] regime against Iran. Both sides also
[00:00:40] emphasized the expansion of bilateral relations and strengthening cooperation in
[00:00:43] international forums. emphasized.
[00:00:45] Amnesty International and
[00:00:50] Human Rights Watch
[00:00:53] described the killing of the Lebanese journalist by the Zionist regime
[00:00:56] as a war crime. These two organizations.
[00:01:07] Zainab Faraj resulted in an independent investigation into her death as
[00:01:10] a war crime. According to this report, three months ago,
[00:01:14] after an air attack, the Zionist regime's army
[00:01:17] prevented relief forces from reaching Amal Khalil while she was still alive.
[00:01:21] He prevented her.
[00:01:24] The Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Russia
[00:01:28] criticized the silence of Japanese officials regarding America's role in
[00:01:31] the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, calling
[00:01:35] this approach a disgrace.
[00:01:39] Dmitry Medvedev, in response to this
[00:01:42] silence, described Japan as an American puppet and
[00:01:45] wrote: It is a shame that in the memorial ceremony
[00:01:48] for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, neither the Prime Minister
[00:01:52] of Japan nor any of the officials of this country even once
[00:01:55] mentioned who dropped these bombs.
[00:01:58] In this ceremony, Japanese officials, without directly
[00:02:02] referring to America's role, spoke about the consequences
[00:02:06] of using nuclear weapons.
[00:02:09] The Secretary-General of the United Nations, in his message on the anniversary
[00:02:13] of the bombing of Hiroshima, without naming
[00:02:16] America, emphasized the necessity of preventing the recurrence
[00:02:20] of the use of nuclear weapons. In the American atomic attack
[00:02:24] on these two Japanese cities, more than
[00:02:27] 350,000 people were killed.
[00:02:34] And a power outage in one of the communication centers of the
[00:02:37] British railway network caused widespread disruption
[00:02:41] to train movements and the cancellation of many
[00:02:44] journeys in vast parts of this country. The British National
[00:02:48] Railway Network announced that this disruption was caused by a power
[00:02:52] outage in one of the communication centers and
[00:02:55] train movements on many routes were
[00:02:58] delayed, cancelled, or had their schedules changed.
[00:03:02] The British National Railway Network has not yet specified
[00:03:05] the main cause of the power outage.
[00:03:35] very noisy today in various media
[00:03:38] was the revelation of the Washington Post
[00:03:41] about the conflict and disagreement between Trump and Hegset.
[00:03:45] This is a topic that many media have talked about.
[00:03:48] That Hegset did not sufficiently inform
[00:03:51] Trump about the shortage of ammunition before
[00:03:55] the war with Iran. This is a topic that various
[00:03:59] media are talking about.
[00:04:01] According to
[00:04:04] the American newspaper website, Washington Post, the disappointment of the US President with
[00:04:08] the war with Iran reached its peak last week
[00:04:12] at Camp David. Trump there asked Secretary of War Pitt
[00:04:15] Hegset to explain why he had apparently misled
[00:04:18] him about a severe shortage of ammunition which now threatens to
[00:04:22] limit military options against Iran.
[00:04:25] This confrontation occurred on the sidelines
[00:04:29] of a cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday
[00:04:33] where Trump yelled at Hegset and said
[00:04:36] he thought the ammunition problem had been resolved.
[00:04:39] A source stated that the shortage of ammunition, especially
[00:04:43] guided long-range missiles and air defense interceptors,
[00:04:47] was part of the reasons that caused
[00:04:50] Trump to withdraw from further widespread
[00:04:54] attacks against Iran in recent days.
[00:04:57] Although the United States has announced new production
[00:05:01] contracts for some of the most critical ammunition, including
[00:05:05] Patriot air defense missiles, the production of this ammunition
[00:05:09] itself may take up to two years
[00:05:12] and there is no immediate solution to address these
[00:05:16] shortages. The Washington Post previously
[00:05:19] reported that in the first month of the conflict alone,
[00:05:23] the United States fired over 850 Tomahawk
[00:05:27] cruise missiles and over 1,000
[00:05:30] Patriot and THAAD systems. An
[00:05:34] American official stated that the United States used
[00:05:37] more than 1,300 tactical ballistic
[00:05:41] missiles in the early weeks of the war.
[00:05:44] According to an informed source and a Reuters
[00:05:48] report earlier this week, the stockpiles of
[00:05:52] ATACMS missiles, which are short-range missiles
[00:05:55] that Ukraine also needs, are so depleted
[00:05:59] that almost nothing is left.
[00:06:03] The scarcity of defense ammunition
[00:06:05] has had effects beyond the Middle East.
[00:06:08] Ukraine is running out of air defense
[00:06:12] stockpiles and there are few
[00:06:15] options for replacement from Western stockpiles.
[00:06:19] This has made the country vulnerable
[00:06:22] to Russian long-range attacks.
[00:06:26] The same American official told the Washington Post that the lack
[00:06:29] of interceptor missiles has also changed how the United States
[00:06:33] decides to use ammunition against incoming
[00:06:36] threats, such that decisions are now
[00:06:40] made based on an assessment of the threat's trajectory
[00:06:44] and its level of importance. This tactical change
[00:06:48] was first reported by NBC.
[00:06:52] At Camp David, when Trump interrogated
[00:06:55] Hegset about the depleted arms stockpiles,
[00:06:58] the Secretary of War defended himself and blamed
[00:07:02] his deputy for not fully informing
[00:07:05] Trump about the issue.
[00:07:08] This conversation and challenge illustrate
[00:07:11] Trump's growing disappointment with the Secretary of War
[00:07:15] who was a key supporter of military action against Iran
[00:07:18] and had convinced Trump that this war
[00:07:22] would result in a quick and relatively easy
[00:07:25] victory. The strain on ammunition stockpiles
[00:07:29] is not a new challenge. Before the war began, General
[00:07:33] Keane had warned Trump that the United States lacked
[00:07:36] the necessary arms support to sustain
[00:07:40] a war of attrition. However, the speed and
[00:07:43] massive volume of ammunition consumed by both
[00:07:47] sides has severely depleted key offensive
[00:07:50] and defensive US ammunition. In the period from
[00:07:53] February 28 to April 7,
[00:07:57] which coincided with the first day of the ceasefire,
[00:08:00] the United States struck over 13,000
[00:08:04] targets inside Iran and simultaneously
[00:08:08] defended against over 1,000
[00:08:11] projectiles
[00:08:15] and drones launched by Iran.
[00:08:19] The United States launched
[00:08:22] Operation Epic Rage while already facing
[00:08:25] critical ammunition shortages. In the
[00:08:29] summer of 2025, the US Army
[00:08:33] consumed over a quarter of its entire inventory
[00:08:36] of THAAD interceptors during the 12-day
[00:08:39] Israel-Gaza war and Operation Midnight Hammer,
[00:08:43] in which US forces attacked Iranian nuclear sites.
[00:08:47] Brad Bowman, a veteran Army officer and
[00:08:51] senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies,
[00:08:54] said that the current conflict has exacerbated
[00:08:57] previous shortages and deficiencies. Bowman
[00:09:01] noted that despite Hexad and the Pentagon announcing
[00:09:04] numerous industrial cooperation frameworks to revive
[00:09:08] armories, defense companies would not
[00:09:12] begin production until formal contracts were signed
[00:09:15] and funding was allocated by Congress. As a result,
[00:09:19] it could take years to replenish these
[00:09:22] stockpiles, he added.
[00:09:26] Often, there is a gap of several
[00:09:29] years between resource allocation,
[00:09:32] contract signing, and final delivery.
[00:09:36] You cannot just press a button
[00:09:39] and immediately deliver ammunition to troops
[00:09:43] on the front
[00:09:44] lines.
[00:09:47] This was the Washington Post report about the conflict and
[00:09:50] disagreement between Hexad and Trump over the shortage
[00:09:54] of ammunition, a topic that many media outlets, as
[00:09:57] I said, have covered. We want
[00:10:22] Barzgar. Many are giving different
[00:10:26] analyses of the Washington Post report. Of course, I should
[00:10:30] also mention that Trump himself has taken a stance and said that those
[00:10:33] who leak this information will be prosecuted.
[00:10:37] After all, it seems that some disagreements
[00:10:41] that existed have intensified.
[00:10:44] One issue that is being raised is how much
[00:10:48] this could be a psychological operation, because some
[00:10:51] people, before Trump's stance, pointed out that
[00:10:55] perhaps they are trying to mislead Iran.
[00:10:58] Yes
[00:11:01] I should tell you that the first point is that in the past few months,
[00:11:04] this discussion existed. You also mentioned in your report that
[00:11:08] it is unbelievable that the Americans
[00:11:10] themselves, a political system,
[00:11:13] are unaware of strategic reserves. We really
[00:11:17] should say defensive reserves are strategic
[00:11:20] reserves. And now, for example,
[00:11:24] if you look at
[00:11:28] the articles that have been published in American media in the past few days,
[00:11:32] especially the New York Times article that came out
[00:11:35] and wrote an article about what strategic
[00:11:39] lessons Americans should learn. It said that
[00:11:43] the war between America and Iran should be taught
[00:11:46] in American universities, not as a
[00:11:48] victorious war,
[00:11:51] but as a war resulting from strategic mistakes.
[00:11:55] The unclear goal, incorrect estimations, one part
[00:11:58] of which is this issue of weapons and so on, the lack of a plan
[00:12:01] for the days after the attack, intelligence and
[00:12:04] operational errors, and the New York Times says that this war
[00:12:08] was a strategic mistake. Well, this rhetoric has
[00:12:11] existed in America. Trump is also under pressure.
[00:12:15] If it is to be a psychological operation, as you
[00:12:19] said, then it must be
[00:12:22] a justification for failure.
[00:12:26] Because what is certain, what
[00:12:29] happened today, all the media, all
[00:12:32] the experts, even American generals, those who
[00:12:36] are experts in the field of war, consider this
[00:12:39] war not a war for America, but
[00:12:43] a major defeat for America. Therefore, this game that
[00:12:47] has started between Trump and the American
[00:12:51] Secretary of War is truly a justification for what
[00:12:55] Trump wants to do to extricate himself from this strategic
[00:12:58] defeat. If we consider it a psychological operation,
[00:13:02] he is now blaming Iran and saying they didn't tell me. So,
[00:13:06] if we consider it a psychological operation, we should look at it from this
[00:13:09] perspective. Yes, Mr. Barzkar, how effective can this
[00:13:13] be in the coming days? After all, they
[00:13:16] are still continuing their rhetoric against Iran,
[00:13:20] threatening that if negotiations
[00:13:23] do not succeed. Negotiations that have actually
[00:13:26] not taken place, negotiations between Iran and Oman,
[00:13:30] have nothing to do with America. They are still making
[00:13:34] these threats. How effective do you think this will be
[00:13:37] in the coming days in this psychological operation
[00:13:41] against the Iranian nation? First, let me mention
[00:13:44] this point: In various interviews, for example, John Bolton,
[00:13:48] one of Trump's closest allies in the previous term,
[00:13:52] and now one of Trump's most hated figures, used a term
[00:13:56] regarding Trump and the current situation in America
[00:13:59] and called it the "White House of Slaves." He said
[00:14:02] it was a situation, and he was not alone; Joe Kent also
[00:14:06] said the same thing. In other words, he said that Trump is now
[00:14:10] trapped by information that, rather than being provided
[00:14:13] by 18 US intelligence agencies, is influenced by Zionists
[00:14:17] and others, or Taylor said
[00:14:20] Trump's personal interests have taken precedence over everything.
[00:14:24] This Mr. Fineberg, who is the Deputy
[00:14:28] Secretary of War, and Hexad has blamed him
[00:14:31] for all the concerns, is a businessman
[00:14:34] in the arms industry. I wanted to first describe this situation
[00:14:38] in America and the impact of these insinuations
[00:14:41] on Trump's decision-making in various fields.
[00:14:45] That is, these
[00:14:48] confessions of those who were Trump's closest allies.
[00:14:52] But regarding Trump continuing his rhetoric,
[00:14:56] it definitely should be that way, because
[00:14:59] today, these negotiations between Iran and Oman
[00:15:02] have been evaluated positively, and our Foreign Ministry
[00:15:05] officials have officially confirmed it. And it is
[00:15:09] a purely Iranian-Omani agreement. Excuse me, these
[00:15:13] negotiations are proceeding between Iran and Oman.
[00:15:16] America wants to use this psychological operation
[00:15:20] to pretend that if Iran and Oman reached
[00:15:23] an agreement, it was not a bilateral
[00:15:27] agreement between them, but because of my threats
[00:15:30] to launch a new attack. This is despite the fact
[00:15:34] that the current situation in America is different
[00:15:38] from the reality on the ground. That is, if they don't
[00:15:41] attack, it's not because of their kindness,
[00:16:03] However, the trade tension between the US and China
[00:16:07] has entered a new phase. Today, Beijing announced that it has
[00:16:11] sanctioned 6 US entities. On the other hand,
[00:16:14] China's Ministry of Commerce also
[00:16:17] announced that it has imposed strict restrictions
[00:16:20] on the sale of drone-related equipment
[00:16:24] to American companies.
[00:16:40] Welcome to the World Today program. Tell us about the latest situation
[00:16:43] of escalating trade tensions between the US and China.
[00:16:46] It seems that this tension is still increasing.
[00:16:50] افزایششه
[00:16:54] In the name of God, hello. Well, today, the Chinese Ministry
[00:16:58] of Commerce announced that it has decided
[00:17:01] to
[00:17:03] restrict the sale of equipment and accessories
[00:17:07] used in the drone industry to American companies.
[00:17:11] In this regard, 6 US entities
[00:17:14] have also been sanctioned. This decision by the Chinese
[00:17:18] Ministry of Commerce was made
[00:17:20] in line with the law restricting the use of
[00:17:24] dual-use equipment and goods. Although this decision by China
[00:17:28] was announced today and is effective from today,
[00:17:32] the main story goes back to about a week ago.
[00:17:35] It was August 8th
[00:17:37] when the economic leaders of China and the United States
[00:17:41] in a video conference agreed on
[00:17:44] managing tensions and some trade problems
[00:17:48] between the two countries. However, an interesting
[00:17:51] thing happened, and the Americans, just one day after this
[00:17:55] agreement, initially sanctioned
[00:17:58] 20 entities and companies, and then in the next
[00:18:00] phase, 23 Chinese entities and companies,
[00:18:04] and a total of 43 Chinese entities and companies
[00:18:07] for various reasons, including human
[00:18:10] rights, ties to military organizations, and
[00:18:13] threatening US national security. They placed them
[00:18:17] on the sanctions list. And in fact, today's action
[00:18:21] by Beijing is a retaliatory measure against the behaviors
[00:18:24] that the Americans have carried out in the past week.
[00:18:28] And well, considering that many American companies, both in the commercial
[00:18:32] and military sectors, are heavily
[00:18:35] dependent on China's raw materials for drone
[00:18:40] manufacturing, this issue will be costly for the Americans.
[00:18:44] And after all, the Chinese are showing
[00:18:48] the Americans that in trade competition, they are
[00:18:51] no longer a helpless player. Rather, they can
[00:18:54] play an active role as a regulator
[00:18:57] and a player by influencing the
[00:19:00] production supply chain.
[00:19:03] Well, this tension
[00:19:06] and these events are happening while the leaders
[00:19:10] of China and the US are scheduled to meet in less than
[00:19:13] two months at the G-7 summit and also the
[00:19:17] Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Vietnam and the G-7
[00:19:20] summit in Shenzhen, China. In any case, what is happening
[00:19:24] is that it seems that the Chinese have
[00:19:28] learned very well in these two years that Donald Trump has been back
[00:19:32] in the White House that, first of all, they should
[00:19:35] not trust the commitments
[00:19:38] and promises of the Americans at all, and they should not pursue
[00:19:41] long-term agreements with the Americans
[00:19:44] because the Americans fundamentally will not adhere
[00:19:48] to any agreement. And the only thing to do
[00:19:51] when dealing with Donald Trump's America is to
[00:19:55] manage tensions. Very well. Thank you very much, Mr. Amir Shayanmehr,
[00:19:58] reporter for the Voice and Vision News Agency, for being
[00:20:02] with us from Beijing.
[00:20:12] However, the conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia has
[00:20:15] entered a new phase. Yemenis announced in a statement
[00:20:19] that they will not allow Saudi Arabia to circumvent
[00:20:23] the blockade. On the other hand, Foreign Policy also
[00:20:27] referred in a report to
[00:20:29] the fact that Saudi Arabia made a miscalculation
[00:20:33] in the war with Yemen. Yemenis also added
[00:20:36] that the northern Red Sea is no
[00:20:40] longer safe for Saudi Arabia and will
[00:20:43] not allow the passage of ships
[00:21:11] Long live Mr. Choopankareh. Many
[00:21:14] media outlets are talking about the fact that Saudi
[00:21:17] Arabia actually did not expect
[00:21:21] Ansarullah and the Yemenis' responses to be
[00:21:25] so powerful and, on the other hand,
[00:21:28] to increase the pressure of the blockade on Saudi Arabia.
[00:21:32] What is your analysis of this? Well, it must be said
[00:21:35] that Saudi Arabia,
[00:21:38] continuing the policies dictated to it by Western
[00:21:42] governments, and led by the United States of America,
[00:21:46] believed that with the attacks it carried out
[00:21:51] in Yemen over the past years, and the very heavy
[00:21:54] crimes it committed in its attacks,
[00:21:58] it had effectively inflicted blows on Yemen, which
[00:22:02] is one of the very important countries in the resistance
[00:22:05] front, and eliminated
[00:22:08] the military and confrontational capabilities of Yemen
[00:22:12] and the Houthi rebels of Yemen.
[00:22:16] Ansarullah and they no longer have the ability
[00:22:20] to confront and engage in conflict
[00:22:23] with Saudi Arabia. However, it must be said
[00:22:27] that we are witnessing the maturity and
[00:22:30] significant growth of Yemen.
[00:22:33] Today, a country that has been subjected
[00:22:37] to many sanctions, Saudi Arabia itself
[00:22:40] has actually repeatedly
[00:22:44] inflicted military blows and imposed
[00:22:48] sanctions, preventing it from having
[00:22:51] foreign trade and maritime trade. Today, it has reached
[00:22:55] the maturity to use the tools at its disposal,
[00:22:58] relying on its inherent power, to impose
[00:23:02] a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia,
[00:23:05] to disrupt its foreign trade.
[00:23:09] Today, oil exports in Saudi Arabia,
[00:23:12] which thought that after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:23:15] the management of the Islamic Republic of Iran over the Strait of Hormuz
[00:23:20] from the western route of Saudi Arabia
[00:23:23] and the western islands of Saudi Arabia
[00:23:27] would be possible, this issue has also faced
[00:23:31] a serious challenge and Saudi Arabia
[00:23:34] has faced a very big problem in the field
[00:23:38] of maritime trade and its foreign trade. And I think
[00:23:41] that we are actually witnessing an increase
[00:23:44] in the strategic position of Yemen in the resistance
[00:23:47] front and an increase in deterrent power.
[00:23:51] Perceptually, this means that you have given your
[00:23:55] enemy the perception that if
[00:23:58] you put pressure on the resistance front
[00:24:01] in any of the countries and regions,
[00:24:05] or strike a blow, you will not necessarily
[00:24:08] receive your response in the same region and country.
[00:24:12] Yes, if Mr. Choopankareh, right now in
[00:24:15] the news channel's subtitle, we are also referring to
[00:24:19] this issue, where it was planned to attack Sana'a,
[00:24:22] but the Yemenis learned about it in advance and
[00:24:26] thwarted the attack. In your opinion, where are these
[00:24:29] conflicts heading in the coming days?
[00:24:32] In my opinion, with the confrontation and the
[00:24:35] brave defense of the Yemeni fighters,
[00:24:39] we will witness the withdrawal of Saudi Arabia.
[00:24:42] And Saudi Arabia, just
[00:24:45] as the United States of America and the Zionist
[00:24:49] regime accepted this defeat in the battle
[00:24:52] they waged against the Islamic Republic of Iran and in
[00:24:56] their blatant aggression against the Islamic Republic
[00:25:00] of Iran, I think they will also retreat,
[00:25:03] come to the negotiating table, and
[00:25:06] actually retreat from their hostile
[00:25:10] actions. Of course, this does not mean the elimination
[00:25:12] of hostility and the end of Saudi Arabia's hostility
[00:25:15] with the resistance front and with the Yemeni
[00:25:19] fighters. But the fact that they accept this defeat
[00:25:22] and retreat and are willing to give concessions
[00:25:26] to the resistance front in general and more specifically
[00:25:30] to the Yemeni fighters
[00:25:32] is itself a victory for both the resistance
[00:25:35] front and the brave Yemeni fighters who, in these
[00:25:39] difficult conditions, in conditions where
[00:25:43] no military equipment has been directly available
[00:25:47] to them throughout these years, stood on their own feet
[00:25:50] and provided these facilities and gained this military,
[00:25:59] If the escalation of conflicts occurs,
[00:26:02] what other cards do the Yemenis have
[00:26:05] to increase pressure against Saudi Arabia?
[00:26:08] The Yemenis in recent years, especially
[00:26:12] in the last year, have shown that they have
[00:26:15] tools that can surprise the enemy, both
[00:26:19] with their missile power and their drone power.
[00:26:22] We saw that Najran airport was hit,
[00:26:26] as were Saudi ports. Also, if
[00:26:29] Saudi Arabia or the enemies attack,
[00:26:33] Yemen will certainly use
[00:30:20] Top news in 24
[00:30:22] tonight.
[00:30:26] Government's efforts to reduce energy imbalance. The president
[00:30:30] said in a televised interview that solar panels have been launched
[00:30:33] and are now producing nearly 7,000 megawatts of electricity.
[00:30:37] Iran's economic diplomacy in
[00:30:42] Eurasia. The Minister of Industry, Mines, and Trade said the main
[00:30:46] focus is on operationalizing free trade, tariff removal,
[00:30:50] and developing trade exchanges.
