[00:00:00] According it. What does that mean? to international humanitarian
[00:00:03] law, all countries are obliged
[00:00:07] to prosecute and hold criminals accountable.
[00:00:10] Many countries
[00:00:13] have accepted the principle of universal jurisdiction
[00:00:16] in accordance with their laws,
[00:00:18] and therefore,
[00:00:21] those who were the perpetrators
[00:00:24] or instigators of this crime
[00:00:28] will certainly be subject to criminal prosecution
[00:00:31] in any country that
[00:00:35] is responsible and committed
[00:00:39] to its obligations under international
[00:00:42] law.
[00:00:45] We will follow up with all relevant authorities
[00:00:49] on issues related to human rights, humanitarian
[00:00:51] law, and flagrant violations of humanitarian
[00:00:55] law. We will certainly follow
[00:00:58] up on this matter.
[00:01:06] It is clear that this crime
[00:01:09] was committed by abusing the territory of some
[00:01:12] countries in the region, and therefore,
[00:01:16] we will use
[00:01:19] every opportunity to state this
[00:01:23] matter, not only to demand justice
[00:01:26] but also to prevent it from happening.
[00:01:53] My question is this: In addition to some
[00:01:57] countries that have provided bases and land
[00:02:00] to the enemy so that they can commit crimes like the one in Lamerd
[00:02:04] in our country, the International Atomic Energy
[00:02:07] Agency also did this with biased reports, and
[00:02:11] in recent days, we witnessed the news
[00:02:14] that Iran's nuclear file was referred
[00:02:18] to the Security Council. What is your
[00:02:21] reaction to the continuation of these biased actions by the
[00:02:25] agency? In examining the issue
[00:02:29] of responsibility in relation to war
[00:02:33] crimes, it is certainly
[00:02:36] not only about the perpetrators and instigators
[00:02:40] that we should talk. We should also talk
[00:02:42] about the authorities and individuals
[00:02:45] who pave the way or justify
[00:02:49] the commission of such crimes with their reports.
[00:02:53] In these cases, they
[00:02:56] must also be held accountable.
[00:03:00] The International Atomic Energy Agency and the Director General of the Agency
[00:03:04] have unfortunately, in these past few
[00:03:07] years, practically paved
[00:03:11] the way for a narrative
[00:03:13] that was used
[00:03:17] as an excuse and exploited by the United States and the Zionist
[00:03:19] regime to attack Iran, despite
[00:03:23] the fact that Iran has never
[00:03:26] failed to adhere to its commitments.
[00:03:30] Iran's nuclear program has been absolutely peaceful.
[00:03:34] However, the Agency's reports,
[00:03:37] ambiguous reports,
[00:03:39] and incorrect
[00:03:41] reports somehow provided
[00:03:45] an excuse
[00:03:47] to justify the illegal actions
[00:03:49] of the United States and the Zionist regime. From this
[00:03:52] perspective, we
[00:03:56] will certainly continue to hold the Agency and the Director General
[00:04:00] accountable. Iranians will not forget that
[00:04:04] only one day after the Agency's
[00:04:07] report, the United States and the Zionist regime
[00:04:10] committed a crime and made
[00:04:14] Iran the target of their attacks.
[00:04:17] It was expected that the Agency and the Director
[00:04:20] General would learn from this issue. Unfortunately, it became clear
[00:04:24] that this is a recurring pattern.
[00:04:27] They discredit the Agency with
[00:04:30] their actions and
[00:04:33] weaken the non-proliferation regime
[00:04:37] even more. The non-proliferation regime,
[00:04:41] the Non-Proliferation Treaty, had three main missions:
[00:04:44] nuclear disarmament, preventing
[00:04:47] the proliferation of nuclear weapons,
[00:04:51] and upholding the nuclear rights of countries. In all three areas,
[00:04:54] unfortunately, the Non-Proliferation Treaty
[00:04:58] has failed. It has not succeeded in disarmament;
[00:05:02] on the contrary, the number of nuclear weapon states
[00:05:05] has increased, and the
[00:05:08] destructive power and lethality of their weapons have increased.
[00:05:13] In the area of preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons,
[00:05:16] it has also not been successful.
[00:05:19] More importantly, in relation
[00:05:23] to enabling countries to use peaceful
[00:05:27] nuclear energy, instead of helping countries, it has practically become
[00:05:30] an obstacle, and a clear example
[00:05:34] of this is Iran, which, despite adhering
[00:05:37] to its commitments, despite it being our right
[00:05:41] to use nuclear
[00:05:42] and
[00:05:44] energy for peaceful purposes, on the pretext of concern about
[00:05:48] the nature of Iran's nuclear program, based on a lie fabricated by the United States the Zionist regime,
[00:05:53] the Board of Governors and the International Atomic Energy Agency
[00:05:56] have practically violated
[00:06:00] the provisions of the Non-Proliferation
[00:06:20] in American
[00:06:24] society and among the American people,
[00:06:27] especially mothers who are watching you
[00:06:30] and behind you there is a picture of children,
[00:06:33] mothers who were martyred because of the crime
[00:06:37] of their country's army, they
[00:06:40] are watching you. What message do you want
[00:06:56] Abbasi, 11 years old. Mahdiar, stand
[00:06:58] up. One of these shrapnel pieces hit
[00:07:01] Mahdiar below the throat. They still haven't been able to
[00:07:05] remove this shrapnel.
[00:07:08] On my left
[00:07:13] is Amir Mohammad Forouzan. Shrapnel
[00:07:16] to the knee and shoulder. As you can see, despite
[00:07:19] six months having passed, they
[00:07:22] are still having difficulty moving.
[00:07:25] On the other side is
[00:07:26] our dear daughter
[00:07:29] Anita. Anita, a young volleyball player who was
[00:07:33] injured right here in this hall. These
[00:07:37] three people are
[00:07:40] our teenagers from Lamerd
[00:07:43] who were injured in this
[00:07:47] way
[00:07:56] and Abdul Mosawer Rahmani.
[00:07:59] Two of our football
[00:08:02] students. Abdul Mosawer
[00:08:05] was from Afghanistan. Abdul Mosawer was our guest
[00:08:09] who was martyred here alongside
[00:08:13] Iranian children. Also, martyr Mahmoud
[00:08:16] Najafi, a football coach, who also
[00:08:18] died in that crime.
[00:08:21] The whole world should know
[00:08:24] that our children,
[00:08:27] our teenagers, our young children
[00:08:29] in Lamerd are like
[00:08:33] our loved ones in Minab who were victims
[00:08:36] of aggression and war crimes by the United States and Israel.
[00:08:39] Here, they didn't expect much. They were playing,
[00:08:43] and they innocently
[00:08:46] and مظلومانه became victims
[00:08:50] of the greed and malice of the United States
[00:08:54] and the Zionist
[00:09:26] here in in this
[00:09:28] city, um, do you have trust
[00:09:32] in the international
[00:09:35] system of justice to take this case
[00:09:39] and for them to investigate it, and in a
[00:09:42] way relative to that, you spoke
[00:09:45] about the International
[00:09:48] Energy, Atomic Energy Organization.
[00:09:51] You mention that it lacks
[00:09:55] legitimacy. If it's not a
[00:09:59] UN agency,
[00:10:01] is there any other entity or institution that you trust
[00:10:05] to have any role in inspections of your nuclear
[00:10:51] is very clear. You see what has happened
[00:10:55] in these three years
[00:10:59] to the international justice
[00:11:02] system. The international
[00:11:05] justice system, if it cannot
[00:11:09] take action against an obvious
[00:11:12] genocide, it is clear that this system
[00:11:16] has a fundamental
[00:11:19] problem. The International Court of Justice,
[00:11:23] the International Criminal Court,
[00:11:25] as two main bodies, one
[00:11:29] for dispute resolution
[00:11:32] and the other for preventing impunity,
[00:11:34] both
[00:11:37] have faced serious obstacles in prosecuting
[00:11:40] Israeli officials
[00:11:43] for war crimes, crimes against humanity,
[00:11:47] and genocide. You witnessed that the United States sanctioned
[00:11:50] the judges of the International Criminal Court.
[00:11:54] They threatened the judges
[00:11:57] of the International Court to prevent
[00:12:01] the prosecution
[00:12:03] of crimes committed in Gaza
[00:12:06] and in occupied Palestine.
[00:12:09] Therefore,
[00:12:11] the member states of the International Criminal Court
[00:12:15] have unfortunately failed
[00:12:18] in fulfilling
[00:12:20] their responsibilities. Iran is not a member of the International Criminal
[00:12:24] Court. However,
[00:12:27] this issue
[00:12:31] should not prevent
[00:12:34] the international community, including through the domestic
[00:12:37] courts of countries that have universal jurisdiction,
[00:12:41] from criminally prosecuting the perpetrators
[00:12:43] and
[00:12:45] instigators of crimes similar to the crimes
[00:12:49] in Lamerd and Minab.
[00:12:52] Therefore, while we
[00:12:56] in no way, not just us, I
[00:12:59] think the international community is not satisfied
[00:13:03] with the performance of what is called the international
[00:13:06] justice system, at the same time,
[00:13:10] we should not be hopeless, and I think
[00:13:13] this is a shared human and moral
[00:13:17] responsibility of all countries and all human beings
[00:13:20] to ensure that
[00:13:24] impunity for heinous
[00:13:27] international crimes does not become
[00:13:31] so deeply rooted that committing crimes
[00:13:35] becomes normalized. The normalization of crime
[00:13:39] is more horrific and dangerous than committing the crime itself.
[00:13:42] If the international community remains indifferent to the war crimes committed
[00:13:46] in Lamerd and Minab,
[00:13:48] they
[00:13:50] will be helping to normalize
[00:13:54] the normalization of crimes, and this
[00:13:57] is something that
[00:14:00] its consequences will affect all
[00:14:04] countries. Regarding the second part of your question,
[00:14:07] the International Atomic Energy Agency
[00:14:10] is the competent UN body
[00:14:13] for monitoring the implementation of the
[00:14:17] Non-Proliferation Treaty. As a member
[00:14:20] of the Agency, we consider
[00:14:23] ourselves committed to observing
[00:14:27] the provisions of the Non-Proliferation
[00:14:30] Treaty. However,
[00:14:33] this authority, this body, is nothing
[00:14:37] but the performance
[00:14:40] and those who are responsible
[00:14:44] in this regard. You clearly
[00:14:47] saw that the Director General of the Agency and the Board
[00:14:51] of Governors, in relation to Iran's nuclear issue, acted
[00:14:55] completely biasedly and with a clear political
[00:14:58] agenda. They acted under the influence
[00:15:01] of US policies and some European
[00:15:05] countries. With this situation, you
[00:15:09] cannot claim that
[00:15:12] the International Atomic Energy Agency has
[00:15:16] acted correctly
[00:15:18] in fulfilling its responsibilities. In fact, the International
[00:15:22] Atomic Energy Agency itself
[00:15:25] has weakened
[00:15:27] the nuclear non-proliferation regime, and
[00:15:31] for this reason, the Director General
[00:15:35] and the Agency must be accountable for
[00:16:05] for a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the start of negotiations.
[00:16:09] Please tell me what changes these conditions have undergone,
[00:16:12] and have the Americans sent messages
[00:16:20] question
[00:16:20] is somewhat
[00:16:24] related to the meeting
[00:16:27] that is scheduled
[00:16:31] to be held in Oman on Monday.
[00:16:34] One of the agendas of this meeting
[00:16:37] is to explain the understanding that has been reached
[00:16:41] between Iran and Oman regarding
[00:16:44] determining safe
[00:16:47] maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz. This
[00:16:50] is an issue between Iran and Oman
[00:16:54] as a coastal state.
[00:16:58] However, whether this
[00:17:01] development, that is, the understanding between Iran and Oman,
[00:17:04] as the coastal state of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:17:08] regarding the temporary maritime traffic
[00:17:11] and ship traffic means that traffic
[00:17:15] in this
[00:17:18] waterway has become safe,
[00:17:21] this will not necessarily be the case.
[00:17:24] The reason is very clear. The Strait of Hormuz has become
[00:17:28] insecure due to the actions of the United States and the Zionist
[00:17:32] regime in imposing an illegal war on Iran and the
[00:17:35] region. As long as
[00:17:38] the actions of the United States continue,
[00:17:42] as long as the naval blockade
[00:17:45] and the threat to commercial shipping
[00:17:48] by the United States continue, and the US economic
[00:17:52] war continues, we naturally
[00:17:56] cannot claim that security
[00:17:59] has returned to this waterway and the Persian
[00:18:02] Gulf. The return of security to the Strait of Hormuz
[00:18:06] and the securing of maritime routes
[00:18:09] requires the cessation
[00:18:13] of the destabilizing actions of the United States, including
[00:18:16] the naval blockade and other illegal interventions
[00:18:50] from Iran's Labor News Agency (ILNA). I had a question
[00:18:53] for you. I am from Lamerd, and when this attack
[00:18:57] happened, I was next to this hall and reported on this
[00:19:00] incident. After the US attack on Lamerd,
[00:19:04] Dr., a suggestion was made by one of
[00:19:09] them to designate February 28,
[00:19:12] 2026 as the International Day of Combating
[00:19:15] Unconventional Weapons. The documentation
[00:19:19] for this has also been sent to the UNESCO National Commission
[00:19:22] and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I wanted to ask
[00:19:26] you if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has put this
[00:19:29] issue on its agenda and what actions it will
[00:19:33] take to raise it in international forums?
[00:19:36] Thank you. Well, you see,
[00:19:39] we support any initiative
[00:19:43] that preserves the memory of the martyrs of Lamerd,
[00:19:46] any initiative
[00:19:48] that expresses the heinousness
[00:19:52] and ugliness of using prohibited
[00:19:54] weapons, we will certainly
[00:19:58] support it.
[00:20:01] Regarding the weapon that was used, you rightly pointed
[00:20:04] out that this weapon, due to its nature,
[00:20:08] which is similar to cluster munitions,
[00:20:11] is certainly among
[00:20:15] prohibited weapons. Regardless
[00:20:18] of that, the use of this prohibited
[00:20:22] weapon in a residential area, in an urban area,
[00:20:25] for
[00:20:28] the killing of civilians
[00:20:31] itself is a flagrant violation of international
[00:20:35] humanitarian law. We will take all these matters into account
[00:20:38] and will use every opportunity at the international
[00:20:42] level, both in areas related to arms
[00:20:45] control and issues related to human rights and humanitarian
[00:20:49] law, to raise
[00:21:31] the people of Lamerd, it seems that in the past six
[00:21:35] months, especially during the 40-day period of the imposed
[00:21:38] war by America, a large number of our compatriots, most
[00:21:42] of whom lived and worked in the Emirates, Kuwait, and now
[00:21:45] we can say, the Persian Gulf countries,
[00:21:48] have lost their residences. Now, considering that we have had
[00:21:52] trade relations there since ancient
[00:21:56] times and our people had their businesses there, I want to know
[00:21:59] what measures the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken to help
[00:22:02] these compatriots, what measures have been taken to uphold
[00:22:06] the rights of these Iranians and their access to their
[00:22:09] property and assets? Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers itself obliged
[00:22:12] to pursue the rights of Iranian
[00:22:16] citizens anywhere in the world.
[00:22:25] The point you mentioned is a serious issue. We have
[00:22:28] received repeated reports
[00:22:32] of harassment of Iranians
[00:22:35] who have lived and worked
[00:22:39] for generations in the southern Persian
[00:22:42] Gulf countries. They worked hard
[00:22:46] and contributed to the development
[00:22:49] and prosperity of those countries. Unfortunately,
[00:22:53] during the imposed war,
[00:22:57] they faced completely unjustified
[00:23:00] treatment by these
[00:23:03] countries. Their assets were confiscated.
[00:23:07] Their residences were revoked.
[00:23:11] A significant number of them were arrested
[00:23:14] without any reason
[00:23:17] or basis. They
[00:23:20] were harassed. Well, these
[00:23:23] actions are both against human
[00:23:26] rights and contrary
[00:23:30] to the principle of good neighborliness and foresight. These
[00:23:33] individuals were those who played a prominent
[00:23:37] role in the development and progress of these
[00:23:40] countries. Their human rights must be respected.
[00:23:44] This issue
[00:23:46] will definitely be seriously
[00:23:50] pursued by the diplomatic
[00:23:53] apparatus. We know that Fars
[00:23:56] province, especially
[00:24:00] the cities of Lamerd, Mohr,
[00:24:03] and Larestan, have had extensive
[00:24:06] trade relations with the southern Persian
[00:24:10] Gulf countries since ancient times. The people-to-people
[00:24:14] relations have been very good. These
[00:24:16] people-to-people relations are an asset for both Iran
[00:24:20] and those countries where
[00:24:23] our compatriots reside, work,
[00:24:27] and have established businesses.
[00:24:30] Therefore, our demand is that
[00:24:33] their human rights be respected.
[00:24:37] We must document their assets
[00:24:41] and properties that they acquired
[00:24:44] there through hard work
[00:24:47] over many years.
[00:24:54] On this trip, I spoke with some of these
[00:24:57] dear ones. Our representation
[00:24:59] in Shiraz, in Fars province, will certainly
[00:25:03] follow up on this issue. Our consular section will also,
[00:25:07] our consulates and representations in these countries,
[00:25:10] are seriously pursuing this issue and we hope that
[00:25:14] we can truly
[00:25:18] use diplomatic tools to uphold their rights
[00:25:21] and to prevent the continued
[00:25:25] violation of the rights
[00:25:52] Trump's and America's positions, has the Islamabad
[00:25:55] agreement ended from Iran's perspective
[00:26:10] in names and titles. What is important
[00:26:14] to us is the protection of Iran's
[00:26:17] national interests and security. What
[00:26:20] is important to us is to end
[00:26:23] America's aggression and to uphold
[00:26:27] the rights of Iranians. Iranians have shown
[00:26:30] that they choose resistance against
[00:26:33] foreign encroachment and aggression.
[00:26:37] Resistance has two aspects: one is resistance
[00:26:40] on the battlefield, and the other is resistance through diplomacy.
[00:26:43] Diplomacy and the field
[00:26:47] can together secure
[00:26:50] the country's interests. Therefore, the party that
[00:26:54] must be held accountable is the American
[00:26:57] side. The agreement that was signed on June
[00:27:01] 18th served our
[00:27:05] interests. The party
[00:27:07] that violated it was America.
[00:27:10] Therefore, we must be careful
[00:27:14] to always condemn the violating
[00:27:17] party.
[00:27:20] Both the world and our own public opinion must know that the Islamic
[00:27:23] Republic of Iran entered
[00:27:26] diplomatic processes in good faith
[00:27:29] to uphold the rights of Iranians.
[00:27:34] And it was America that, only 21 days after
[00:27:37] signing the memorandum of understanding,
[00:27:40] broke its promise. And of course, you saw
[00:27:44] that we said from the very beginning
[00:27:47] that fulfilling an agreement
[00:27:51] is in exchange for fulfilling an agreement, and if you break your promise,
[00:27:54] well, the Islamic Republic of Iran will also take the necessary
[00:27:58] actions, and you saw that we acted in the same way.
[00:28:01] It will be the same in the future. We will certainly
[00:28:05] not allow excessive demands
[00:28:09] and bullying to harm Iran's national interests and security in the slightest.
[00:30:28] We reach 5 o'clock. The Minister of Roads and Urban Development,
[00:30:31] in the meeting
