Executive agencies to CEOs of free [00:00:32] zones. The executive deputy president said that free zones should [00:00:36] be transformed into an engine of investment in production [00:00:39] and export development. [00:00:45] Examining ways to increase resilience against economic [00:00:49] shocks. The meeting of governors of central banks of the Organization [00:00:52] of Islamic Cooperation began in Istanbul. [00:00:56] We are talking about [00:01:00] the role of central banks in controlling economic [00:01:03] fluctuations, and it is also an opportunity to meet [00:01:06] with our colleagues in Islamic countries and [00:01:10] have discussions for the development of our monetary [00:01:12] and banking relations. [00:01:16] The Yemeni armed forces took control of strategic [00:01:19] heights overlooking Bab al-Mandab. [00:01:22] A new wave of missile and drone attacks by Yemen [00:01:26] targeted the southern regions of Saudi Arabia. [00:01:35] And Iranian industrialists are at work. Iran produces [00:01:39] a new generation of water transmission pipes in the days [00:01:42] of war. [00:01:45] They have the power and endurance to withstand up to 8 [00:01:48] Richter pressures, [00:01:52] both vertical and horizontal, and no leaks occur [00:01:56] in these pipes. [00:02:15] compatriots. We are with you with the news at [00:02:18] 2 PM. The President said in an intimate meeting with [00:02:22] a group of retirees that a budget has been [00:02:25] allocated to improve people's livelihoods, which will [00:02:28] be provided in the form of commodity coupons soon. Mr. [00:02:32] Pezeshkian also announced the follow-up of livelihood and medical [00:02:35] affairs of retirees. [00:02:39] This week we will hold a meeting. Those specific teams will be established [00:02:42] in relation to both treatment and the structure of participation [00:02:46] in systems, so that you can participate. And [00:02:50] well, naturally, you know our situation. If we know your situation, we will help [00:02:54] each other more easily. And also regarding the issues [00:02:57] that relate to livelihood, we are now. [00:03:14] The President also referred to the sanctions imposed against our country and said: Iran [00:03:18] will not surrender to the bullying of enemies. [00:03:20] But on the sidelines of this meeting, the Minister [00:03:24] of Welfare announced the launch of the Zarin Tamin system. According to [00:03:28] Mr. Midari, retirees can register in this system [00:03:31] to buy gold at a fixed [00:03:35] price. For the retirees, [00:03:38] they enter the Welfare Bank system, enter [00:03:42] their national ID, and say how much gold they want to buy [00:03:46] in the next 3 months. [00:03:49] Then, considering the purchase limit and the amount [00:03:53] of gold that the Central Bank has allowed us to sell, [00:03:57] we will deduct that amount from their monthly [00:04:01] salary. However, the price [00:04:04] of gold will remain fixed from the time they buy [00:04:07] it until the end of the 3 months, for which we have reserves. [00:04:11] Therefore, it will not be subject to price increases. The price increase is actually [00:04:15] a profit that retirees will receive. [00:04:18] گرفت [00:04:23] The National Artificial Intelligence Development Law will [00:04:27] be implemented quickly. The First Deputy President, at a meeting of the [00:04:30] Artificial Intelligence Development and Application Headquarters, referred [00:04:34] to the growing trend of using artificial intelligence in the country [00:04:38] and said: The government's strategy, based on the recommendations of the Leader [00:04:41] of the Islamic Revolution, is to achieve a single-digit [00:04:44] global ranking in artificial intelligence. Mr. Aref, referring to the promulgation [00:04:48] of the National Artificial Intelligence Development Law by the Speaker [00:04:52] of Parliament, said: The government's and parliament's approach in the field [00:04:55] of advanced technologies and artificial intelligence is to pay attention [00:04:59] to the general policies of the system and the views of Imam Shahid on these technologies. [00:05:03] The First Vice President called the creation of a fund to provide [00:05:07] the necessary resources for artificial intelligence development and [00:05:10] the formation of various centers for the development of this technology [00:05:14] as strengths of the new law and said: A working group will be formed [00:05:17] with the presence of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology [00:05:21] and the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology and Knowledge-Based [00:05:24] Economy to implement the National Artificial Intelligence Development Law [00:05:28] as soon as possible. [00:05:29] شود. [00:05:33] The Executive Vice President, at a meeting of the CEOs of free [00:05:36] zone organizations, emphasized the need to strengthen the position [00:05:40] of free zones in the country's economy. [00:05:42] Mr. Qaempanah said: Free zones should be transformed [00:05:46] into an engine of investment, production, and export [00:05:49] development. The Executive Vice President, referring to the delegation [00:05:52] of all executive powers to the CEOs of free zones, [00:05:56] with the exception of security and defense institutions, [00:05:59] said: Free zones should be able to utilize the capacities [00:06:02] provided by law for them, in the direction of the country's [00:06:06] economic development. [00:06:13] In these special circumstances, the Aras Free Zone was not [00:06:16] a spectator. I was not a spectator under the shadow of war and in [00:06:20] a crisis situation. This is a summary of the performance of free [00:06:23] and special economic zones in the country in the meeting [00:06:27] of the managers of these zones with the Executive Vice President. [00:06:31] A meeting that discussed the challenges and crisis management [00:06:34] in the supply chain of basic goods in the country. We export [00:06:38] to about 40 countries. In the midst of the actual war, realities from [00:06:42] the battlefield, from military trenches to the economic [00:06:45] front, continued. Despite this, the flow of goods [00:06:48] did not stop. With greater speed, investment [00:06:52] indicators experienced an upward trend. Despite [00:06:56] the fact that we experienced two wars [00:06:59] and economic pressures and economic [00:07:02] blockade, by the grace of God, we had a very good [00:07:06] investment growth in the Kish Free Zone. [00:07:10] In terms of Rials, more than five times growth. [00:07:35] that in previous years, due to various reasons, [00:07:39] they were stagnant and inactive, we were able to reactivate [00:07:45] the production unit and return [00:07:49] to the production cycle. This stability also extended [00:07:52] to the borders. Trade with neighbors not only did not decline, [00:07:56] but by opening new trade [00:07:59] routes, it paved the way for overcoming economic [00:08:02] storms. Not only did we not stop, but we had the most [00:08:06] capacity in the Sarakhs Free Zone, and through [00:08:10] this route, Kholasan Province and [00:08:13] the eastern provinces of the country could easily [00:08:16] be supplied through this, and finally, logistical [00:08:20] arteries in free zones, from flight [00:08:23] operations to clearance processes, all were continuously [00:08:26] active so that the supply chain of public necessities [00:08:30] would not be cut off. We were working during the war, [00:08:33] during the bombardment, we tried to maintain [00:08:36] flight operations to meet the needs of medicine and basic [00:08:40] needs, and our customs did not close for even one day [00:08:44] throughout the war. The Executive Vice President also praised [00:08:48] the performance of economic activists and attributed [00:08:51] these successes to the good defense of the country. And [00:08:55] I have said many times that Iran knows how to defend well, [00:08:58] whether in the 8-year war, which was proven, and now we [00:09:01] are defending our land, our identity, our Iran. Mr. Qaempanah [00:09:05] emphasized the need to strengthen the position of free zones [00:09:09] in the country's economy and said that these zones should be transformed [00:09:12] into an engine of investment, production, and export development. [00:09:16] The country's economy needs investment, increased [00:09:19] production capacity, and expanded export markets. [00:09:22] Free zones must have [00:09:26] a clear and effective [00:09:28] share in responding to this national need. [00:09:32] The Executive Vice President also emphasized the formation of executive [00:09:35] and specialized working groups to achieve better performance [00:09:39] in all sectors. Children. Sarfam [00:09:43] IRIB News Agency. [00:09:46] The head of the judiciary ordered the General Inspectorate of the country [00:09:50] to comprehensively investigate the situation of state-owned [00:09:53] companies. Mr. Mohseni Ejei said at the meeting [00:09:57] of the Supreme Judicial Council that the budget of these companies, [00:10:01] which are said to be more than 300, is even more than the government's budget. The head [00:10:04] of the food agency emphasized that receiving bonuses by members [00:10:08] of the board of directors of loss-making state-owned companies is against the law. Mr. [00:10:12] Mohseni Ejei said: Criminal [00:10:14] cases have been filed against 359 members of the board [00:10:18] of directors of state-owned companies, and if they have received [00:10:21] illicit property, it must be returned. [00:10:26] It should be investigated what they really do with this budget. [00:10:30] Are these companies loss-making or profitable? [00:10:33] Is the existence of these companies [00:10:37] really necessary or not? I don't know about [00:10:40] previous years. I investigated some of them. [00:10:44] They were loss-making. Then they say bonus. Well, the commercial [00:10:47] law says that if we calculate, it must be from [00:10:51] net profit. One person is a member of several [00:10:55] boards of directors. This situation must first be rectified. Secondly, [00:10:59] if there have really been illicit incomes, they must be stopped. If anyone [00:11:02] needs to return ill-gotten gains, they must return [00:11:05] them. [00:11:08] The Governor of the Central Bank, who traveled [00:11:11] to Istanbul to attend the 8th meeting of the governors [00:11:15] of central banks of Islamic countries, said that in this meeting [00:11:18] and in bilateral meetings, they will discuss recent regional [00:11:22] developments and economic stability. [00:11:25] We will exchange views. [00:11:28] Today, when we arrived, we had meetings this morning [00:11:32] with the governors of central banks, including Turkey and Tunisia, [00:11:36] with whom we have good relations and good cooperation. We had good [00:11:39] discussions. We are also talking about [00:11:43] the issues of uncertainty and the role of central [00:11:47] banks in controlling economic fluctuations, and it is also [00:11:50] an opportunity to meet with our colleagues in Islamic [00:11:54] countries and have discussions for the development of our monetary [00:11:57] and banking relations and to use the opportunities [00:12:01] we have for these cooperations. We are using this opportunity [00:12:04] and we have had good discussions so far, and we will continue [00:12:06] this afternoon. Yes, as it was [00:12:10] mentioned, the central banks of the member [00:12:13] countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation started this morning [00:12:17] with the presence of the Governor of our country's Central Bank in Istanbul. Let's [00:12:21] join the IRIB News Agency reporter at the conference [00:12:25] venue for more information about this meeting, Mr. Azaribaq. Greetings [00:12:28] to you. Please tell us more about this meeting [00:12:32] and Mr. Hemmati's programs, anything you know. [00:12:35] Greetings to you and the viewers of this news [00:12:39] section. Since the early hours of this morning, the eighth [00:12:42] meeting of the heads of the central banks [00:12:46] of the member countries of the Organization [00:12:49] of Islamic Cooperation [00:12:52] began with the presence of Iran, as you [00:12:56] also mentioned. And well, the main [00:12:59] focus of this meeting is increasing [00:13:03] economic resilience [00:13:06] against global and geopolitical tensions and shocks. [00:13:10] Mr. Fatih Karahan, the Governor of the Central [00:13:13] Bank of Turkey, in his opening [00:13:16] speech at this meeting, [00:13:19] referred to the fact that the tension [00:13:23] and war between Iran [00:13:25] and America has led to an increase [00:13:28] in the risk-taking of the global economy, and he said [00:13:32] that the member countries of the Organization [00:13:35] of Islamic Cooperation should find solutions [00:13:38] and practical strategies for this issue. Well, [00:13:42] Mr. Abdolnaser Hemmati is also present at the meeting [00:13:46] as the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran [00:13:50] and will give a speech in a few [00:13:53] minutes at this meeting. And in this meeting, [00:13:57] in my conversation with him, [00:14:01] the main focus of his speech [00:14:03] will be the oppressive sanctions against [00:14:07] Iran and the strategies that our country [00:14:11] and our economy have adopted to counter [00:14:14] these sanctions. Well, the point [00:14:17] is that the Governor of the Central Bank [00:14:20] has also had bilateral meetings with the governors [00:14:24] of other central banks since this morning. [00:14:29] In these meetings, in fact, various [00:14:32] opportunities for establishing [00:14:35] more trade relations and commercial ties, [00:14:39] despite the oppressive sanctions of America, [00:14:42] were discussed and reviewed. The meeting will continue [00:14:45] until about 4:30 PM local time, [00:14:48] meaning about 5 PM in our dear [00:14:52] country. After the meeting, [00:14:55] Mr. Hemmati will again have bilateral [00:14:59] meetings with the governors of central banks of other [00:15:02] countries. Dear colleague, thank you very much. [00:15:06] Farzaneh Azaribaq, our colleague [00:15:08] in Istanbul. [00:15:16] The IRGC Public Relations announced the destruction of an advanced [00:15:19] American MQ-1 drone. This advanced drone [00:15:23] پیشرفته با. [00:15:26] was intercepted and destroyed over the Strait of Hormuz [00:15:29] by the IRGC Aerospace Force's advanced air defense system [00:15:32] and under the control of the country's integrated air defense network. [00:15:36] و منهدم شد. [00:15:40] It is a warning from the Persian Gulf Waterway Management Authority [00:15:44] to entities associated with violating vessels. The Persian [00:15:47] Gulf Waterway Management Authority, while updating the list [00:15:51] of violating [00:15:52] vessels on [00:15:57] its website, warned insurance companies, protection [00:16:00] and indemnity clubs, and classification societies [00:16:03] to refrain from providing services to these violating [00:16:07] vessels to avoid the consequences [00:16:10] of their actions. [00:16:12] کنید. [00:16:15] The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, referring [00:16:18] to the postponement of the meeting between Iran [00:16:21] and the Persian Gulf countries in Oman, clarified: It was [00:16:25] expected that the countries of the region would be [00:16:28] opportunistic and appreciate such opportunities. Mr. Baghaei [00:16:31] said at the press conference: This meeting was postponed [00:16:35] at the request of Saudi Arabia. [00:16:38] This was a very good opportunity, and I don't [00:16:42] think any responsible party [00:16:44] would accept that this opportunity [00:16:48] should be missed for any reason, whether due [00:16:51] to the influence of parties outside [00:16:54] the region or due to pretexts that [00:16:58] really have nothing to do with Iran, [00:17:01] we should not hold [00:17:03] this meeting. [00:17:06] According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, [00:17:10] the agreement between Iran and Oman has been finalized, and a decision [00:17:13] will be made with the consultation of the two countries regarding the next [00:17:17] step and how this agreement will be announced or registered. Mr. Baghaei also rejected [00:17:21] the claim of Iranian interference in Yemeni events and reminded [00:17:24] that the clear expression of Iran's positions on Yemen [00:17:28] should not be considered interference. Yemenis make their own decisions, [00:17:32] and Ansarullah is an independent party that makes decisions [00:17:35] according to the interests of the Yemeni nation. The spokesperson [00:17:38] for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs referred to more than a decade [00:17:42] of unjust siege against Yemen and stated: Yemenis made [00:17:46] great efforts to assert their rights and dignity, and [00:17:49] since their legitimate demands were not met, [00:17:53] they inevitably took the decisions they believe are appropriate to assert their rights. [00:17:57] The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also rejected [00:18:00] the Western media's claim about a change in Iran's nuclear doctrine [00:18:04] and stated: This is also part of the contradiction and insolence [00:18:08] of the opposing parties. On the one hand, they do something [00:18:11] that questions the raison d'être of the NPT, and on the other hand, [00:18:14] they complain why countries talk about issues related [00:18:18] to deterrence and nuclear. [00:18:23] With the arrival of the 197th [00:18:26] night of nightly gatherings, the countdown [00:18:30] to the 200th night of a nation's [00:18:33] resistance has begun. An unprecedented statistic [00:18:37] that indicates the determination of a nation to confront the excessive [00:18:41] demands of the system of domination. [00:18:44] Night slowly casts its shadow over the city, [00:18:48] but right in the heart of this darkness, [00:18:51] there are lights that do not go out. On the eve [00:18:55] of the 20th, I think I just came on the first [00:18:58] day. 197 nights have passed, and this [00:19:01] square is still lit. If one person stands, [00:19:05] the squares are lit by the presence of people [00:19:08] who have stood together every night to say that [00:19:12] some lights cannot be turned off. It's [00:19:15] 197 nights that they are present. What does this show? [00:19:19] Unity, integrity, a sign of our power. [00:19:22] Sense of duty, sacrifice, dedication, [00:19:25] left until reaching a number behind which are 200 nights [00:19:29] of presence, empathy, and steadfastness of a nation. [00:19:32] It will be the 200th day [00:19:35] in three days. [00:20:07] It's this brightness. 197 nights [00:20:10] of the squares' lights staying on is a sign [00:20:13] in itself. What message are we sending to other countries? [00:20:17] God's blessings that our country has unity. The era of bullying [00:20:21] is over. No more excessive demands. Iran is a superpower. [00:20:24] The Iranian people have shown this. Economic [00:20:27] pressure, sanctions, and hardships of life [00:20:31] are the winds that want to dim the flame of hope [00:20:35] and steadfastness. Even our small table. [00:20:54] Here, that power can be seen in young people. What do you think is the secret of a strong Iran? [00:20:57] Well, finally, with elite [00:21:00] young people, Iran will progress. These missile programs [00:21:03] that we have now, in a world that didn't [00:21:07] even count on us. Where did we get these missiles? We got the missiles [00:21:11] from the honor of our people, nights remain until the 200th [00:21:14] night. But perhaps what matters is not [00:21:18] the number 200 itself. [00:21:50] And the assets of traitors to the homeland were confiscated based on the law [00:21:53] for renewing punishments for espionage and cooperation with the Zionist regime and hostile [00:21:57] countries. Part of these assets belong to journalists [00:22:00] from well-known media outlets and prominent figures residing [00:22:04] abroad. More than 2,000 inquiries have also been made to the Central [00:22:07] Bank in this regard. In recent days, Sadegh [00:22:11] Saedin-nia, an activist in the cafe industry, was sentenced [00:22:14] to 12 years and 6 months in prison and confiscation [00:22:18] of all his assets. The spokesperson of the judiciary announced [00:22:22] that there is a possibility of new cases being filed, [00:22:25] and these assets will be used [00:22:27] to compensate the victims. [00:22:30] The Elaj monitoring and information system was launched with the aim [00:22:33] of identifying and punishing expatriate traitors. [00:22:36] In the introduction of this system, it states [00:22:40] that the main mission of Elaj is to protect national security [00:22:43] and the interests of the Iranian people against anti-homeland, [00:22:46] separatist, and sanction-promoting [00:22:52] movements. Betrayal of Iran has legal consequences, [00:22:56] and this is done through the revocation of citizenship [00:22:59] privileges and the cutting off of financial and media [00:23:03] access of expatriate traitors based on intelligent and continuous [00:23:06] monitoring. Elaj, while requesting all compatriots to register [00:23:10] the identity of these traitors at (Elaj [00:23:13] Group.ar) or send it to the gateway [00:23:16] (ad sign Elaj Group) in messenger. [00:23:20] has assured that the identity of all [00:23:24] reporters and public sources in this [00:23:27] system will remain completely confidential, encrypted, and [00:23:31] secure. [00:23:34] The Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction of the Ministry [00:23:37] of Roads and Urban Development announced the provision of interest-free [00:23:41] housing loans to low-income deciles. According to Mr. Taherkhani, [00:23:44] these loans will be repaid in 10 to 15-year [00:23:47] installments upon delivery of the house. [00:23:51] People, especially low-income individuals [00:23:55] in the lower deciles, do not have the ability to contribute [00:23:58] capital. In this government, it has been decided that [00:24:01] we will become alternative deciles, deciles one [00:24:05] to four. That is, one of our problems [00:24:08] was that they cannot contribute capital. When they [00:24:11] cannot contribute capital, the project faces [00:24:15] delays, it is accompanied by adjustments, [00:24:17] and prices increase. We said that we will become an alternative [00:24:21] in the form of developing lands and properties of the National [00:24:24] Organization of New Cities. We have implemented this now. [00:24:28] That is, the latest report presented at the housing [00:24:31] monitoring meeting indicated that about 9 [00:24:35] trillion Tomans of loans [00:24:36] have been granted across the country. [00:24:40] Shalamcheh trade border officially reopened [00:24:44] today. Following follow-ups, yesterday [00:24:46] the Shalamcheh and Chazabeh borders [00:24:50] reopened for passenger [00:24:51] traffic. [00:24:54] The Shalamcheh trade border, after a two-day halt, resumed [00:24:58] its activities this morning, Monday. We are witnessing [00:25:01] the entry of cargo vehicles that have been waiting [00:25:05] at the borders for two days and are now entering [00:25:08] our country for loading and unloading goods.
