[00:00:00] analyze it and comment
[00:00:03] on it. Well, we are faced
[00:00:07] with a country that has been attacked for the past 10-12
[00:00:11] years. A brutal
[00:00:14] siege has been imposed on it, and
[00:00:17] they have made many efforts through
[00:00:21] various means to achieve their rights and dignity.
[00:00:24] Well, through these
[00:00:27] paths.
[00:00:35] Decisions that they consider appropriate
[00:00:39] for the realization of their rights have been
[00:00:41] made. At the same time, we know that Yemenis
[00:00:45] have been attacked several times
[00:00:48] by the Zionist regime and America during these three years. The principled
[00:00:51] stance of Yemenis regarding
[00:00:53] the issue
[00:00:56] that is the primary issue of the Islamic
[00:00:59] world, a kind of the
[00:01:02] world today, is the occupation of Palestine, the occupation
[00:01:05] of Palestine, the hegemonic ambitions of the
[00:01:09] Zionist regime in Lebanon, in Syria, in
[00:01:12] other countries. Well, Yemenis have shown that
[00:01:16] they are free people and
[00:01:19] issues of the Islamic community
[00:01:23] and human issues are important to them, and we
[00:01:27] must also take this into account.
[00:01:30] Another point is that maritime security and
[00:01:32] freedom
[00:01:34] of maritime trade should be taken into account for
[00:01:38] everyone, and everyone should be able to use it. You cannot
[00:01:41] attack a country or countries or impose
[00:01:45] a maritime blockade on them and unilaterally expect
[00:01:49] them to be the guardians
[00:01:52] and protectors of maritime shipping.
[00:01:56] Therefore, my advice to
[00:02:01] all countries in the region is to see the realities,
[00:02:05] refrain from projection and
[00:02:08] baseless accusations against others. If they
[00:02:11] really intend to solve the problems,
[00:02:15] because repeating some claims and accusations
[00:02:18] may cause the claimant
[00:02:22] himself to believe such claims
[00:02:25] and then make a miscalculation
[00:02:28] in finding a solution to the problem.
[00:02:42] officials and American media claimed
[00:02:45] that Iran had a role in the attack that, according to them, came from Iraq
[00:02:48] on the East-West oil pipeline
[00:02:52] of Saudi Arabia. What is Tehran's
[00:02:55] reaction to this claim? Well,
[00:02:59] Americans are constantly producing
[00:03:02] false news and false claims at no
[00:03:06] cost. There is no doubt about this. One of the points
[00:03:09] I made was about this issue, that
[00:03:12] in this situation,
[00:03:15] America constantly produces a lie to intensify
[00:03:19] the differences between the countries of the region. Well, one
[00:03:22] of the consequences
[00:03:26] is the issues that exist in our region and countries
[00:03:30] must solve them themselves. Otherwise, parties that
[00:03:33] do not
[00:03:36] want the good of our region will constantly
[00:03:40] resort to these lies to
[00:03:42] further complicate the situation.
[00:03:46] Absolutely, these claims that American officials made
[00:03:50] about Iran's involvement in these developments
[00:03:53] are not
[00:03:55] true and are definitively denied.
[00:03:58] These claims.
[00:04:09] claimed to have signs of nuclear activity
[00:04:12] in the Kalning. However, he himself said that there is no confirmed
[00:04:16] information about the nature of the activity there. This is while
[00:04:20] he is concerned about countries that are reviewing
[00:04:23] the acquisition and possible use
[00:04:27] of nuclear weapons. What is your reaction to this issue?
[00:04:31] Look, this
[00:04:32] Kolningzala
[00:04:37] has been talked about many times. Its exact name
[00:04:41] is this. They talk in a way that
[00:04:45] it seems they have discovered a
[00:04:49] secret, confidential file.
[00:04:52] Much ado about nothing. I
[00:04:55] remember that at the time when
[00:04:59] negotiations between
[00:05:03] the 13th government and the former
[00:05:06] US government were ongoing under the supervision of Mr.
[00:05:10] Bagheri Kani,
[00:05:12] one of the issues they raised at that time, that is, about six or seven
[00:05:16] years ago, was this very issue: that there are constructions
[00:05:20] taking place at this location. Well, we
[00:05:23] were not a member of the protocol at that time, and we
[00:05:25] still
[00:05:28] are not. And according to the safeguard commitments,
[00:05:32] whatever was necessary or will be necessary for us to inform
[00:05:35] the Agency, we have informed them.
[00:05:39] Therefore, the talks about
[00:06:13] such an inspection happening once a year. My point
[00:06:17] is six years ago. I say this so
[00:06:19] that we know once and for all that
[00:06:23] the talks about Kolningzala are
[00:06:27] in
[00:06:30] line with America's media and psychological
[00:06:33] warfare, which every now and then, when
[00:06:37] they run out of other
[00:06:40] lies, they create a new issue solely to create
[00:06:44] an atmosphere and continue a lie that
[00:06:47] is truly difficult for them to maintain. For 30 years, they have been saying
[00:06:51] that Iran is seeking a nuclear bomb. Not once has the Agency,
[00:06:54] despite all its biases, despite all its political
[00:06:58] maneuvering, including in its recent report,
[00:07:01] said that Iran has committed
[00:07:05] non-compliance. It has committed non-compliance.
[00:07:08] Well, to justify this lie,
[00:07:11] they constantly raise a new
[00:07:14] issue with media hype,
[00:07:18] and very often, many people mistakenly
[00:07:21] believe that there is a new
[00:07:24] development or that something
[00:07:28] specific is happening
[00:07:38] United States, in the grand
[00:07:41] scheme of things, is seeking
[00:07:44] a complete and comprehensive
[00:07:46] isolation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[00:07:50] We had the BRICS
[00:07:53] summit in the past few days.
[00:07:56] What action will BRICS take against
[00:07:59] the US isolation program for Iran, and has
[00:08:03] Iran requested a collective
[00:08:06] action from BRICS to prevent
[00:08:10] this from happening? Thank you. A country
[00:08:13] that
[00:08:21] has garnered the admiration and praise
[00:08:24] of all countries, even
[00:08:27] if they do not express it due to
[00:08:30] their awkwardness with America,
[00:08:34] this country will not be isolated.
[00:08:37] On the contrary, look at
[00:08:40] America's standing.
[00:08:45] America committed a
[00:08:47] criminal mistake.
[00:08:50] It committed a very heinous crime by
[00:08:54] attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran and
[00:08:57] colluding with a genocidal regime.
[00:09:00] It is constantly involving
[00:09:04] itself more in this
[00:09:07] path. The international community has rightly
[00:09:10] realized, including in our region,
[00:09:14] that America's actions have disrupted
[00:09:17] international norms
[00:09:20] that are not merely desirable but essential
[00:09:23] for the continuation of international
[00:09:26] peace and security. It has turned the United
[00:09:30] Nations into a tool. It has reduced the International
[00:09:33] Atomic Energy Agency to a political
[00:09:36] tool. It has violated
[00:09:40] the most important principles of the United Nations Charter,
[00:09:43] which prohibits the use of force.
[00:09:47] Well, in such a situation, countries use
[00:09:50] every opportunity, including in multilateral arrangements
[00:09:53] like Shanghai and BRICS, to show
[00:09:57] that they are opposed to this method, to this
[00:09:59] process, and also to find
[00:10:02] solutions to deal with the consequences of such
[00:10:06] a trend. Also consider America's
[00:10:10] allies: Canada, Europe, all countries that once
[00:10:12] believed that America, as the leader
[00:10:16] of the free world, acted in their
[00:10:19] interests. But we see that these countries have also
[00:10:23] come to the conclusion that they must find
[00:10:27] a way to curb America's
[00:10:30] aggressive, hostile, and destructive
[00:10:43] the US government's pressures,
[00:10:46] we witnessed that Dr. Eslami was prevented
[00:10:50] from obtaining a visa to attend
[00:10:52] the Agency's meeting. This is an illegal
[00:10:56] act, and it seems that if we don't address
[00:10:59] it now, the US
[00:11:02] government will likely obstruct the presence of the Iranian
[00:11:06] delegation and our president at the United Nations as well. In this
[00:11:09] regard, I would like to know your position, and also what legal and lawful
[00:11:13] follow-up and action will be taken. Well,
[00:11:16] the action of the Austrian government as the host government is absolutely
[00:11:20] unjustified. According to their commitments,
[00:11:23] they should
[00:11:32] Their chargé d'affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:11:35] for protest. In the
[00:11:38] meeting, we also expressed our protest.
[00:11:42] Well, look,
[00:11:45] it's all contradiction after contradiction. On the one hand,
[00:11:48] they accuse a country, issue resolutions,
[00:11:52] and prepare false reports.
[00:11:55] And then they also prevent
[00:11:59] the representatives of the country from defending themselves. That is, the war they started was not
[00:12:03] only a military war, it is a war in the diplomatic and legal
[00:12:06] arenas to
[00:12:09] prevent Iran's voice
[00:12:12] from reaching other countries. Well, we use
[00:12:15] all means to
[00:12:19] prevent such a goal from being achieved.
[00:12:22] The fact that the Austrian government tells us that
[00:12:26] it was under pressure or at America's request, which is evident
[00:12:29] to us, that it took this action,
[00:12:32] in no way absolves
[00:12:35] the host government of responsibility. I think any government that hosts
[00:12:39] international organizations or international meetings
[00:12:43] should first and foremost protect its
[00:12:46] credibility and standing and not allow
[00:12:49] American pressures
[00:12:52] to cause
[00:12:56] these countries to incur international responsibility
[00:13:00] due to
[00:13:12] you very much. You caused the voices
[00:13:15] of the martyrs of Lamard and their families to be heard
[00:13:18] more widely by the world. My question is this: regarding the submarine that
[00:13:22] was seized by Iran, and now news has been released,
[00:13:26] have there been any consultations or negotiations by the United States
[00:13:30] for the release or return of this submarine or not? If
[00:13:34] such consultations have taken place, is this issue being
[00:13:37] pursued within the framework of negotiations or diplomatic channels
[00:13:55] My question was about the message you published
[00:13:59] about Iran's
[00:14:01] attention to the Agency's ambiguous and
[00:14:05] false reports and its Director General
[00:14:08] who created a narrative that led to
[00:14:12] the US and the Zionist regime attacking Iran and committing
[00:14:16] aggression. And we said that Tehran is taking
[00:14:19] into account the responsibility of the Agency's Director General
[00:14:23] and is pursuing it, and it is on the agenda. I wanted to know what
[00:14:27] channels and in what way
[00:14:34] in any case,
[00:14:37] responsibility for any participation and complicity in
[00:14:40] committing an international crime is not something that will
[00:14:44] disappear with time. This is a
[00:14:47] permanent and ongoing
[00:14:50] issue, and
[00:14:53] we use
[00:14:55] every opportunity to explain this issue and
[00:14:58] to record it, and we regret that,
[00:15:01] despite this experience being repeated
[00:15:05] twice, the International Atomic Energy
[00:15:08] Agency, the Director General himself, allowed
[00:15:12] such a report,
[00:15:15] such an atmosphere to be misused
[00:15:18] to prepare a resolution—a
[00:15:21] resolution that is not even based on
[00:15:25] the report but is entirely based on the misuse of the report.
[00:15:28] However, the very statement,
[00:15:31] incomplete or completely distorted
[00:15:34] facts from the Director General
[00:15:37] himself
[00:15:40] creates the grounds for misuse. If the Director General
[00:15:44] wants to have a fair and technical
[00:15:47] approach to the issue, he should,
[00:15:50] first and foremost, condemn the illegal actions of the United
[00:15:54] States and the Zionist regime.
[00:15:57] He should condemn the
[00:16:00] attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, which cannot
[00:16:04] be justified by any standard. These very statements that are made
[00:16:08] from time to time by American officials threatening Iran,
[00:16:11] threatening Iran's nuclear facilities or constructions,
[00:16:15] each of them deserves
[00:16:18] a strong stance from the Director
[00:16:21] General. Unfortunately, this
[00:16:34] stating that Iran, after
[00:16:43] the Islamic Republic conveyed its conditions through
[00:16:46] intermediaries to the American side. I wanted to
[00:16:50] know if this news is true or not, and if possible,
[00:16:59] We reached an
[00:17:01] understanding on June 18th.
[00:17:04] Both countries signed it at the highest
[00:17:08] level. 21 days later, America unilaterally
[00:17:11] violated it
[00:17:15] and resumed or intensified
[00:17:17] its illegal
[00:17:21] and aggressive
[00:17:23] actions, including
[00:17:25] the naval blockade and economic war.
[00:17:29] Well,
[00:17:32] it is very clear what America should
[00:17:35] do. America must
[00:17:38] stop all its illegal and interventionist actions
[00:17:41] against Iran, compensate
[00:17:45] for the crimes it has committed,
[00:17:48] lift the sanctions it has imposed, and end the
[00:17:52] economic war it has started. Therefore, I don't
[00:17:55] think there is any ambiguous
[00:17:58] or complicated issue regarding
[00:18:01] regional developments. As long as America
[00:18:04] insists on continuing
[00:18:08] its aggressive
[00:18:10] actions, naval blockade, and other
[00:18:14] actions that are contrary to international law,
[00:18:16] it will be an act
[00:18:18] of aggression.
[00:18:20] Definitely, the Islamic Republic of Iran
[00:18:24] will
[00:18:27] continue to take
[00:18:40] Gulf officials said that for
[00:18:44] negotiations with Iran, they would reduce
[00:18:47] the priority of the Strait of Hormuz and focus on nuclear
[00:18:51] issues. I wanted to ask if this could have affected
[00:18:55] the suspension or postponement
[00:18:59] of the understanding and this meeting, and how this meeting
[00:19:02] could have been effective in relieving
[00:19:06] the naval blockade in the future, if it takes place
[00:19:09] in the future, how it could have been involved or
[00:19:12] fruitful? Well, the media speculating is very much
[00:19:16] not something I'm going to comment
[00:19:18] on in this regard,
[00:19:22] because these are many and varied
[00:19:25] analyses. But what concerns
[00:19:28] us and Oman, not
[00:19:31] anyone else, is the issue of the security
[00:19:34] of the Strait of Hormuz, which concerns the two coastal states, and of course. Of course, we
[00:19:38] are aware of our responsibilities
[00:19:41] towards the international community and
[00:19:44] the region. And that is why we say that the countries
[00:19:47] of the region and the international community should hold America accountable
[00:19:51] because everything that is currently happening in terms
[00:19:54] of insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz is the result of America's
[00:19:58] actions. The world must see this. This
[00:20:02] is very clear. You cannot simply
[00:20:05] by addressing
[00:20:10] the effect, saying that Iran
[00:20:14] has taken measures regarding transit in the Strait
[00:20:17] of Hormuz, ignore the cause. The main
[00:20:21] cause of this situation is the illegal actions of the United States
[00:20:25] and the Zionist regime. From March 9, 2023,
[00:20:28] and it continues until now. It's not like it
[00:20:32] only existed for a period and then ended. America's illegal actions continue,
[00:20:36] and that is the reason for the insecurity.
[00:20:38] The fact
[00:20:41] that America wants itself
[00:20:44] or other countries to talk about a certain issue
[00:20:48] does not affect our priority and will.
[00:20:52] We will do whatever is in the best interest and benefit of our national
[00:20:55] security and whatever is in line
[00:20:59] with the common interests of the coastal states.
[00:21:01] Thank you.
[00:21:11] during the BRICS summit that was held
[00:21:14] last week in New Delhi, once
[00:21:17] again emphasized a four-point
[00:21:20] plan based on establishing
[00:21:23] lasting peace and creating a regional security architecture in the Middle East.
[00:21:27] The Beijing government had previously spoken about this
[00:21:31] issue about 5 or 6 months ago, that is, in April 2026.
[00:21:34] My question is whether the recent statements
[00:21:37] of the Chinese president at the BRICS
[00:21:40] summit refer to a specific plan for
[00:21:44] mediation in the current situation, meaning has a specific
[00:21:47] proposal in this regard been given to Iran and other parties,
[00:21:51] or is it merely a repetition
[00:21:54] of China's positions that we have heard many times before?
[00:21:58] Specifically, are we, alongside Pakistan, witnessing
[00:22:01] the entry of a new mediator named China?
[00:22:05] Thank you. Well,
[00:22:07] we have always welcomed China's principled
[00:22:11] and responsible stance on
[00:22:14] regional security issues. China
[00:22:16] has played a very constructive
[00:22:20] role in helping
[00:22:23] strengthen security
[00:22:27] and stability in our region,
[00:22:30] and we have always expressed our readiness to have
[00:22:34] the cooperation
[00:22:37] of the Chinese in this regard.
[00:22:40] Our understanding is that China
[00:22:43] expresses its principled position at every opportunity,
[00:22:47] and this is very valuable.
[00:22:57] China's position on regional
[00:23:00] issues, I think, is welcomed
[00:23:03] by both Iran and other countries.
[00:23:06] However, to say that in the precise
[00:23:10] sense of the word, in the technical
[00:23:12] sense of the word, we are witnessing
[00:23:16] the entry of a new player in the role and capacity of a mediator,
[00:23:20] I don't think that is the case.
[00:23:23] Pakistan is doing its job well. Basically,
[00:23:27] I would also like to say that our problem is not mediators. The problem
[00:23:30] between Iran and America has never
[00:23:34] been a mediator. The problem is the lack
[00:23:37] of real will and
[00:23:40] at least good faith from the American
[00:23:43] side to use diplomacy
[00:23:47] to
[00:23:49] resolve problems. Therefore, as long as this approach exists
[00:23:53] on the American side,
[00:23:55] well, no matter which
[00:23:59] mediator you use, they will, in a way,
[00:24:02] discredit them.
[00:24:16] has imposed. Earlier,
[00:24:20] we had news regarding Turkey saying that due to
[00:24:23] American sanctions, it can no longer pay for Iran's gas, and
[00:24:27] Iran, in return
[00:24:30] for the gas it exports, can only receive medicine and
[00:24:34] food from Turkey. I want to know if such a thing is true,
[00:24:37] and also, regarding this visa
[00:24:40] issue, do you have any new news about
[00:24:44] the issuance of visas for the Iranian delegation to go to New York
[00:24:48] from Turkey?
[00:24:50] Look, regarding visas, no, we have
[00:24:52] not received any news
[00:24:56] until now.
[00:24:59] Well, as soon as there is any development
[00:25:02] in this regard, we will definitely inform you.
[00:25:05] Regarding the first part of your question,
[00:25:08] these issues are being raised. This is an atmosphere that is being
[00:25:12] created regarding Iran's relations
[00:25:16] with other countries, with neighboring countries. A large part of it
[00:25:20] is actually in line with
[00:25:24] that very instigation. I don't claim
[00:25:28] that America is not trying
[00:25:31] to implement its oppressive sanctions, including
[00:25:35] through pressuring Iran's trading partners, the countries
[00:25:38] of the region. But on the other hand, we are witnessing a widespread
[00:25:42] media campaign to multiply
[00:25:46] the effectiveness of their economic war.
[00:25:50] And this is where we must be careful
[00:25:54] not to fall for the hype
[00:25:57] and media tricks. Our relationship with neighboring countries
[00:26:01] is a good relationship. Especially with Turkey,
[00:26:04] and we will certainly use
[00:26:08] all diplomatic means and consultations to
[00:26:11] prevent
[00:26:13] America's
[00:26:15] actions
[00:26:19] and their goals from being achieved, which are certainly
[00:26:32] days, we have witnessed a wave in Western media
[00:26:36] and think tanks about Iran supposedly
[00:26:40] seeking to change its nuclear doctrine, and
[00:26:43] it is stated that discussions have been held in the Islamic Consultative Assembly
[00:26:47] regarding withdrawal from
[00:26:53] this is also part
[00:26:56] of the contradiction and impudence of the opposing
[00:27:00] sides. On the one hand, they themselves act
[00:27:03] in a way that the very
[00:27:05] existence
[00:27:08] of the NPT regime is called into question,
[00:27:10] and on the other hand, they complain
[00:27:14] why countries are even talking about
[00:27:17] issues related to deterrence
[00:27:20] and nuclear matters.
[00:27:24] The primary cause
[00:27:26] of such discussions are those
[00:27:30] who have violated the non-proliferation treaty
[00:27:35] of nuclear
[00:27:36] weapons,
[00:27:44] and the part that is very important to us
[00:27:47] is the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful
[00:27:51] purposes. Well, they have not taken any steps in the field of disarmament;
[00:27:54] instead, they have intensified
[00:27:57] the spread of nuclear weapons. Nor have they been
[00:28:00] successful in non-proliferation. They have allowed
[00:28:03] themselves to possess nuclear weapons, including the Zionist
[00:28:07] regime. And regarding the benefit of countries, including
[00:28:11] developing countries, from nuclear energy,
[00:28:14] see how they create obstacles. They have used
[00:28:17] every means, especially regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[00:28:20] Therefore,
[00:28:24] self-restraint is not prudent for us.
[00:28:27] Well, the policy of the system is clear. We, as a country that
[00:28:31] has a civil society,
[00:28:33] the members of parliament talk about various
[00:28:37] issues. We cannot prevent
[00:28:41] dialogue and discussion
[00:28:44] regarding various issues that are related to the national security
[00:28:47] of the country. Let's not forget that Iran is the only
[00:28:51] country whose nuclear facilities have been attacked
[00:28:54] several times in the past year and a half. Let's not
[00:28:58] forget that they assassinated our nuclear scientists. In these
[00:29:03] decades, sabotage has occurred in Iran's nuclear
[00:29:06] facilities in a situation where all these nuclear facilities have been under the supervision of the Agency
[00:29:10] and Iran has been completely committed to its safeguard
[00:29:14] commitments under the NPT.
[00:29:17] Therefore,
[00:29:19] in such a context and atmosphere,
[00:29:23] the fact that our
[00:29:26] elites,
[00:29:30] those who have a position
[00:29:33] in media issues,
[00:29:36] political issues, talk about these issues, I don't think it's
[00:29:52] the countries of the Persian Gulf be only to inform
[00:29:55] about the results of your talks with Oman,
[00:29:58] or can it be considered the beginning of a new
[00:30:02] phase after the aggression of America and Israel against Iran?
[00:30:05] And does Iran have proposals or a roadmap to
[00:30:09] organize relations with the Persian Gulf countries
[00:30:12] in mind? Thank you, now that
[00:30:14] it has been postponed
[00:30:18] and will not be held today,
[00:30:22] but such a meeting certainly
[00:30:26] could have been a step, however small,
[00:30:29] in the path of
[00:30:32] dialogue between Iran and the countries
[00:30:36] of the Persian Gulf. Let's also keep in mind that it's not just about Iran
[00:30:40] and those countries; those countries also need to talk
[00:30:44] to each other. You are aware
[00:30:47] that some differences, which are very serious, among
[00:30:51] these countries have themselves paved the way for many
[00:30:55] issues in our region, including in Yemen.
[00:30:58] Therefore, this conversation
