[00:00:00] No war, no solo work. China and America together
[00:00:04] Friends,
[00:00:06] China is America's biggest enemy, why don't they
[00:00:08] fight? China is doing its work,
[00:00:12] it's getting stronger every day. When we can get our rights
[00:00:16] and our rights through dialogue. When we were able to
[00:00:19] stop the Lebanon war, we were able to
[00:00:23] stop the Lebanon war,
[00:00:25] so to speak,
[00:00:28] they were killing 100 to 200 Muslims there
[00:00:31] every day. Now
[00:00:35] we were able to lift the
[00:00:37] siege. We were able to get
[00:00:40] our money back. They wanted to get it back. We were able to
[00:00:43] actually make them remove some of
[00:00:47] the waivers or sanctions. We were also supposed to open the strait. Now, for example,
[00:00:51] they say that these people
[00:00:54] did not comply, and we also hit them. What did we give
[00:00:57] to America? We had many achievements. Why to the people?
[00:01:06] In the strait, we started a military confrontation with the ships that had violated the rules.
[00:01:08] They announce that these people are traitors, they
[00:01:12] all did not act. We strongly defend
[00:01:16] what we wrote in the memorandum of understanding.
[00:01:19] If I find a clause where we gave up, a clause,
[00:01:22] we always want to fight, which is what
[00:01:26] Israel wants, meaning Israel wants the war to continue.
[00:01:30] If they want to force us to surrender, we will
[00:01:33] fight. We will not give in and we will not
[00:01:37] bow down. But when we want to, we can
[00:01:40] get our rights. Why are we continuing,
[00:01:44] for example, what Israel wants, and these people are
[00:01:47] consciously or unconsciously conveying the message
[00:01:50] from their mouths. Thank you very much,
[00:01:53] Dr., you were talking about the memorandum of understanding. I want to
[00:01:57] continue that conversation. Your personal interpretation
[00:02:01] of the memorandum of understanding is a victory, meaning you believe that memorandum was
[00:02:05] a victory for us. You dare to look at
[00:02:08] all the analyses of foreign countries and see what
[00:02:11] they say. Don't look at me. Those who
[00:02:15] want to call this a defeat internally
[00:02:18] must be very unfair, I must say. They are
[00:02:21] doing this. What did we give?
[00:02:24] Where did we fall
[00:02:26] short?
[00:02:29] They say America came. It doesn't act. Well, it didn't act. As long as it acts, we
[00:02:33] act. Where it didn't act, we also don't act. Everything we gained
[00:02:36] is a privilege. The fact that we were able to lift the siege,
[00:02:40] America stepped aside. We had given America a privilege.
[00:02:44] The Strait of Hormuz, which was there before, now
[00:02:47] it became a so-called agreement that we would only allow the Strait
[00:02:51] of Hormuz, and that too with our own
[00:02:53] regulations. Dr., the military forces
[00:02:57] agreed with the memorandum. With the
[00:03:00] memorandum? Excuse me, in the Security
[00:03:03] Council,
[00:03:05] there were 12 or 13 people who could vote.
[00:03:09] 12 people spoke, defended, and
[00:03:12] voted. Why did they agree?
[00:03:15] Because logic dictates it, because reason dictates it, because
[00:03:19] the field dictates it, because society dictates it. So anyone who doesn't
[00:03:23] know just says "hit."
[00:03:27] You also have to see the consequences. Those who gave
[00:03:30] it were not cowardly people. These were the same people who created
[00:03:36] equitable world for all. all of this honor. These were the same people whom we are proud of. These are the same
[00:03:39] people, we are the same people who have managed the country with power
[00:03:43] until now. I am not afraid
[00:03:47] of martyrdom; it is a great honor for me.
[00:03:50] But for me to live in society and not be able to solve the problems of the people
[00:03:54] there is absolutely not acceptable to me. I must be able to
[00:03:57] solve the problems of the people. Dr., there is a very
[00:04:01] loud voice that says there is a disagreement between
[00:04:04] the armed forces, the government, and the diplomatic apparatus regarding war
[00:04:08] negotiations. Do you confirm or deny this? Absolutely
[00:04:11] not. I say the Security
[00:04:14] Council has already decided to do this.
[00:04:18] The Security Council, all
[00:04:21] security, defense,
[00:04:24] and military forces
[00:04:27] all defended and accepted.
[00:05:00] They should know the reasons, they are just denying it. So those
[00:05:04] people who are sitting there are all cowardly, ignorant,
[00:05:08] unscientific, and defeated people who
[00:05:11] are not involved at all. It is an insult.
[00:05:15] This injustice, there is nothing worse than these people saying these things.
[00:05:19] Based on the verse of the Quran, he doesn't know
[00:05:22] what he's talking about. He's fighting in the field. We are in the scene.
[00:05:26] He's standing next to a goose and saying it's like this. Tomorrow,
[00:05:30] if there's a problem, he'll come back and complain why
[00:05:33] it happened like this. This question refers to
[00:05:36] the people who want to know about your relationship with
[00:05:39] the commander of the armed forces. How is it? Can
[00:05:43] you say it more clearly?
[00:05:45] The commander of the armed forces is the beloved leader.
[00:05:48] Well, in this situation, we all, I say,
[00:05:52] all agreed to this. We didn't have
[00:05:55] any opposition at all. We didn't have any opposition;
[00:05:58] they were explaining that it's good. As a
[00:06:01] result, we are completely
[00:06:03] coordinated with the military forces.
[00:06:07] We are completely, in fact, we consider it our duty to
[00:06:11] support them. They have put their lives on the line and are defending
[00:06:14] this country. Is it possible for me to disagree
[00:06:18] with them or for them to disagree with me?
[00:06:20] But there is no doubt
[00:06:24] that this memorandum of understanding was formed with coordination,
[00:06:27] empathy, and interaction. Some people said
[00:06:31] that so-and-so threatened there.
[00:06:34] So, those people are afraid
[00:06:37] of my threats? Meaning, those
[00:06:41] people who are there, if I threaten them, they will come
[00:06:44] to my side against the will of the leader? This is an injustice to those
[00:06:48] people. None of these people are such
[00:06:52] people who would simply accept something without
[00:06:55] logic. None of them. They are also trying to create
[00:06:59] a disagreement between you and the leader. Look, I have said
[00:07:02] many times, and I have said it in all
[00:07:06] assemblies, even in the elections, if you remember,
[00:07:09] at the University of Tehran, the only
[00:07:12] candidate who strongly defended the leader was me. I believe
[00:07:16] in the leader not only religiously, but also scientifically. Someone has to, so to speak,
[00:07:20] have the last word. I can prove it with a thousand reasons.
[00:07:23] Now, these people want to say that they are creating a disagreement
[00:07:27] where the leader says one thing and these people say another.
[00:07:30] And this again is an injustice to the
[00:07:33] leader. It is an injustice to the government and
[00:07:36] to us. No government, as much as my government,
[00:07:40] I say with certainty, has not
[00:07:43] moved in the direction of the leader's policies.
[00:07:45] Now they want to say
[00:07:48] why. These are the same people who, at the time
[00:07:51] of the elections, were saying that everyone
[00:07:55] was, so to speak, an outsider, and we insiders
[00:07:57] should come to power. Now, a group of people have come
[00:08:01] and are saying these things to accuse us of opposing the leader
[00:08:05] or to attach some label to us and then say it's like that. We
[00:08:09] stand behind the leader with all our might, and we will
[00:08:12] stand. And naturally, the leader
[00:08:15] will certainly make decisions based on data that are
[00:08:19] in the interest of the country, in the interest of the government, in the interest of the people. We have always
[00:08:22] said this, and those who are prescribing without data or with
[00:08:26] incomplete data are misleading society.
[00:08:29] They have no right. Those who are not involved, who have incomplete
[00:08:33] information, or who have obtained information
[00:08:37] from somewhere else, say that there are some people
[00:08:40] who are sitting there and giving opinions on economics,
[00:08:44] on politics, on sociology, on agriculture.
[00:08:48] I don't understand where they got this knowledge from.
[00:08:52] I studied at university for 18, 17 years. I am a full
[00:08:55] professor. During my studies, I was always
[00:08:59] among the top students in my class. Now, I
[00:09:03] speak in a small corner, in a small part.
[00:09:06] I can't speak about everything. A heart that is only 280 grams, 300
[00:09:10] grams, 280 grams.
[00:09:16] And then society is so complex. A few young people sit there
[00:09:20] and then give solutions for everything, analyze
[00:09:23] it, and show the way. Where did they learn this knowledge?
[00:09:27] For me. Mr. President, another
[00:09:30] issue was raised during this period
[00:09:34] that was first raised in some
[00:09:38] domestic virtual networks, and then the national
[00:09:41] media reported that you had resigned
[00:09:45] in order to pressure for the acceptance
[00:09:48] of the agreement. Had you ever resigned? I never did this.
[00:09:51] If I resigned, well, I would officially announce that I resigned.
[00:09:54] I will not resign. I will stand
[00:09:58] and in the face of these obstructions that are happening,
[00:10:01] we will eventually talk to the people and tell them
[00:10:05] what the process is and how it is. We
[00:10:07] are servants of the people. We are at the service of the people. In these two
[00:10:11] years, find anything that we have done for
[00:10:15] ourselves, our relatives, or our cronies. Let them find it.
[00:10:19] Honestly, we want to serve
[00:10:22] our people. We are not afraid
[00:10:25] to stand and fight, but
[00:10:28] after all, wisdom is a good thing.
[00:10:32] Dr., after the 40-day war, when the negotiating
[00:10:36] team was supposed to start negotiations, Mr. Ghalibaf was chosen
[00:10:39] as the head of the team. Was Mr. Ghalibaf your choice or was
[00:10:43] this choice made by higher authorities? We
[00:10:46] asked him and
[00:10:48] he accepted.
[00:10:51] After all, if we are coordinated and cooperative,
[00:10:55] we can move forward more easily than if we think that only the government
[00:10:58] is doing this, the judiciary is helping, the power is helping, we
[00:11:02] are helping, the armed forces are helping. We were all
[00:11:05] together.
[00:11:08] To show that we are together, we said that everyone
[00:11:11] should be in this team together. It's not the government's
[00:11:15] word.
[00:11:18] We all agreed based on our data, based on
[00:11:22] our information, based on the field, based on the situation of the government, the situation
[00:11:26] of the people, based on the situation we have, we
[00:11:29] made a decision. And I am
[00:11:32] truly grateful
[00:11:35] to Dr. Ghalibaf. He bravely and manfully came to
[00:11:38] the field and is cooperating. Mr. Eje'i is also
[00:11:42] truly bravely
[00:11:44] cooperating, and the reason we have been able to remain
[00:11:48] until now is because of this unity and cohesion. Dr. Araghchi, who is
[00:11:51] our official diplomat, is working day and night.
[00:11:55] And unfortunately, some people are being disrespectful.
[00:11:58] I don't know what religion or creed allows a person
[00:12:02] to accuse another, to insult another, to
[00:12:06] disrespect another. What is the heart of
[00:12:09] worship?
[00:12:17] This is God's command. If we claim
[00:12:19] to follow God's path, we obey God's command.
[00:12:23] Let's not follow the path of Satan. Let's
[00:12:26] talk kindly to each other. Let's talk with empathy to each other. Let's
[00:12:30] not disrespect each other. Satan wants to turn us
[00:12:33] against each other. Let's not turn against
[00:12:37] each other, Mr. President. What happened that the memorandum of understanding
[00:12:40] that Mr. Ghalibaf was previously supposed to sign with Mr. Vance
[00:12:44] in Geneva as the head of the Iranian negotiating team, you signed? Well,
[00:12:47] they were not supposed to go to
[00:12:50] Geneva,
[00:12:53] so to speak. But in general, this issue had been agreed upon.
[00:12:57] As a result, we signed
[00:12:59] it.
[00:13:03] And on the other side, because Vance was supposed to sign with Mr. Ghalibaf,
[00:13:07] it was decided that Trump would sign it to make it stronger,
[00:13:10] meaning they wouldn't go back on their signatures. We
[00:13:13] signed it. As a result, in terms of credibility
[00:13:17] and status, it had a higher status than if Vance and Mr. Ghalibaf were to sign it. So
[00:13:21] the entire operation was coordinated in less than 24 hours.
[00:13:25] They were saying that Mr. Vance is a fool,
[00:13:28] and completely, let's briefly tell the story, I think it will be
[00:13:32] a highly viewed segment. What happened that suddenly they decided
[00:13:36] that on that side, Trump would sign, and on this side, the President of Iran? The stories are
[00:13:40] a bit secretive. Well, another time I can tell you.
[00:13:43] Don't reveal it for now. They can
[00:22:15] 28 states in the Zionist regime launched an illegal war of
[00:22:19] aggression. against the Islamic Republic of Iran and in the first day they
[00:22:23] murdered the supreme leader Imam Sayid
[00:22:26] Ali Khamenei and also murdered
[00:22:28] 168 young children at the girls
[00:22:31] school in Minab which I visited when I was in
[00:22:35] Iran in April and May. The
[00:22:39] question that is on everyone's mind is what comes
[00:22:42] next and you see on the streets below us you see the
[00:22:46] red flags of revenge because many are crying out for
[00:22:50] justice, they are crying out for revenge and to come, they're crying out
[00:22:53] for blood for blood, and the reason is that the international
[00:22:57] community has once again failed to enact any form of
[00:23:01] justice for the victims and has once again allowed the
[00:23:04] perpetrators to walk free, not only to walk free, to continue their
[00:23:08] aggression without any consequence, but the people
[00:23:11] here and the people around the world who are standing on the side of
[00:23:14] truth, on the side of justice, they are demanding their
[00:23:18] justice, they are demanding
[00:23:20] someone be held accountable for what has happened to
[00:23:24] Imam Khamenei and to all of the innocent civilians that have been
[00:23:28] murdered by the US Zionist regime and
[00:23:31] also by their regional allies, so
[00:23:35] to to kind of give you the the the atmosphere here, the
[00:23:38] atmosphere here is one of dignity, is one
[00:23:42] of morning, but also one of intense
[00:23:45] struggle to continue to struggle, to continue to seek
[00:23:49] revenge. to continue to exact the price
[00:23:52] for what has been paid in blood by the people not only
[00:23:56] of Iran but the people of Iraq, the people of Lebanon, the people of Palestine, the
[00:24:00] people of Yemen, the people of Syria and the people throughout the
[00:24:03] region and around the world, so this
[00:24:06] revenge is really that thing that binds
[00:24:10] the people, and revenge not only for
[00:24:13] what has happened today, but the revenge for all of the oppression through
[00:24:16] history, and inshallah we will have true
[00:24:19] justice. in the future and we will have
[00:24:22] a more peaceful and
[00:24:26] them are saying that they here because Imam Hussein was
[00:24:29] oppressed by the people who oppressed
[00:24:32] him, attacked him, and they believe that they're in the currently in the exact same
[00:24:36] situation where there is huge amount of oppression happening by the
[00:24:40] United States of America, by Israel on the Muslim
[00:24:43] nations of Iran and Iraq, and I've spoke to huge
[00:24:47] all as well. agree that there
[00:24:50] needs to be a unity, unity amongst the entire Muslim
[00:24:54] nations, unity amongst the whole world, but more than that, they
[00:24:58] believe that there needs to be a response to the United States of America and Israel,
[00:25:02] they want justice, they want revenge, they're only happy with the
[00:25:05] assassination of the supreme leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei,
[00:25:09] and so for that reason you're seeing huge numbers from here,
[00:25:12] and that's why we have more people come into this Arbaeen than any
[00:25:16] Arbaeen that happened before this, the sacrifice of Imam,
[00:25:50] place, but that's why,
[00:25:52] because whatever Khamenei did
[00:25:55] to save Islam, his position increased
[00:25:59] after that, people now call him Mawla...
[00:26:41] The streets of Karbala and not only Karbala, uh,
[00:26:44] it's thousands, millions of people asking for revenge,
[00:26:47] revenge for their supreme leader,
[00:26:51] revenge for the kids in Minab,
[00:26:54] revenge for friends and family and
[00:26:57] beloved ones that have been destroyed, that have been
[00:27:00] eliminated uh through. these up unprovoked
[00:27:04] attacks and
[00:27:07] i'm not sure how they will get what they
[00:27:10] want, but what i get from these actions,
[00:27:14] from all these people coming over here demonstrating,
[00:27:18] praying and making their presence live
[00:27:21] is that they want to be heard, they want to be
[00:27:24] seen from the rest of the world, they want to say that we are
[00:27:27] here, we believe in international law, we believe in
[00:27:30] justice and
[00:30:31] viewers, peace be upon you. Good morning. We are with you with another part of
[00:30:34] the news of the News Channel.
[00:30:37] The President said in a television interview that Iran is not seeking war or
[00:30:41] expansionism, and only protects
[00:30:45] its defensive and security capabilities.
[00:30:48] Mr. Pezeshkian said that if pressure and threats
[00:30:52] against Iran stop, there will be no reason
[00:30:55] to continue the tension. We
[00:30:59] want to.
