[00:00:34] We must keep the people in the streets, preserving the holy cohesion and unity [00:00:38] in all areas. [00:00:41] Sardar Mousavi, in a message on the eve of the 20th [00:00:45] night, the 200th night [00:00:48] of the Iranian nation's awakening and their presence in squares and streets, [00:00:52] considered this nightly uprising a cause of global [00:00:55] amazement and wonder. The commander of the Aerospace [00:00:59] Force of the IRGC emphasized that this conscious presence, national [00:01:02] rationality, high religious values, and the distinguished [00:01:06] national culture and civilization of Iranians have been displayed [00:01:10] to the people of the world and have become a reliable [00:01:13] and encouraging support for the defenders [00:01:16] of Islam in all defensive fronts of the country, especially [00:01:19] in the Aerospace Force of the IRGC, to protect [00:01:23] the Islamic identity of Iran, and to seek justice [00:01:26] for our martyred Imam. [00:01:32] Iranians, on the 198th [00:01:35] night of nightly gatherings, announced that unity, [00:01:39] perseverance, steadfastness, and obedience to [00:01:42] the wise commands of the Supreme Leader [00:01:45] are the secret to our victory and overcoming the enemy. [00:01:49] Iran is [00:01:53] proud. [00:01:58] Iran has [00:02:11] after that, this nation that has been blessed, and [00:02:15] we see that day by day, events are unfolding in favor of the resistance [00:02:18] front. Therefore, it can never [00:02:21] break this unity. God willing, the people will also manage this economic [00:02:25] issue. This enemy must know [00:02:29] the Iranian nation. [00:02:34] Under all circumstances, the enemy has shown its hostility towards us, and [00:02:38] it is the unity of our nation that has preserved us so far. [00:02:41] The world [00:02:45] should be with them and [00:02:49] our leader with [00:02:52] us. What do you think is the secret of the people's resilience? [00:02:55] It's their faith, the order of His Holiness Agha, who said to preserve [00:02:58] the holy unity. The people must preserve [00:03:01] the people until the end, based on [00:03:05] their beliefs and the fact that an Iranian [00:03:09] never loses. Based on that, the people show [00:03:12] their support. The Leader said that the people are called upon. [00:03:16] Being called upon means action, means steadfastness, means [00:03:19] presence. It is this belief and this faith that draws people [00:03:23] here. People whom you see in the streets are there in heavy rain, [00:03:27] in snow, in heat, in cold. [00:04:30] Yesterday, only four ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz. [00:04:33] Reuters reported that this figure has decreased [00:04:36] compared to Sunday, when 10 ships were recorded. [00:04:40] After the US military aggression against the Zionist regime towards Iran, shipping [00:04:43] traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has significantly decreased. [00:04:47] Monday's statistics recorded the lowest figure [00:04:51] in about a month. Before the war, about [00:04:54] 125 large commercial ships passed daily [00:04:57] through the Strait of Hormuz. It [00:05:00] did. [00:05:03] The Meteorological Organization has predicted scattered showers, [00:05:06] sometimes accompanied by thunder and strong winds, [00:05:09] for today in parts of the eastern heights of Golestan, [00:05:13] North Khorasan, and North Razavi Khorasan. [00:05:17] Also, today and tomorrow, in parts of southern [00:05:20] Sistan and Baluchestan, the heights of southern Kerman, and the northern [00:05:24] and eastern heights of Hormozgan, an increase in clouds, showers, [00:05:27] thunder, and temporary strong winds in the afternoon [00:05:31] are not unexpected. During this period, the sky [00:05:35] in other parts of the country will be clear to partly [00:05:38] cloudy. [00:05:41] The peak of kindness on Release Mondays in [00:05:45] Yazd. Enthusiasts of Iranian heritage and culture [00:05:49] every week, during their visits to historical buildings and the old [00:05:52] quarter of Yazd, each donate an amount [00:05:55] to help free prisoners [00:05:59] of unintentional crimes, which has led to the release [00:06:03] of 155 people from unintentional crime prisons [00:06:06] since the beginning of the year. Mr. [00:06:09] Saeed, one of the residents of Yazd, used to post [00:06:13] pictures of Yazd's historical houses on social media, [00:06:17] houses that many had never seen before. Many [00:06:21] were eager to see these old houses [00:06:24] up close after seeing these images. We gathered [00:06:28] together. Information was disseminated. A group decided to visit [00:06:31] one of Yazd's historical sites [00:06:35] every Monday. For years, the world [00:06:38] asked us for what it had itself, while desiring it from [00:06:42] strangers. Many historical houses that had been closed for [00:06:46] years and everyone was unaware of them. I wondered what was [00:06:49] behind this high wall, behind these houses, behind these doors. It opened [00:06:53] to enthusiasts. I realized what histories [00:06:57] and what originality existed in these houses. Schools [00:07:00] that had been places of education for students [00:07:03] for the past half-century and had been forgotten, [00:07:07] our class is oh, what a state [00:07:10] it has fallen into. I really wanted to come back. They [00:07:13] decided that, in addition to these visits, they would also [00:07:17] take a step towards renovating these valuable [00:07:20] buildings. We should pass these spaces [00:07:24] on to the next generation. [00:07:27] This Husayniyah was completely deserted. With great effort, [00:07:31] on Monday, it was renovated in the best way. Week [00:07:34] by week, Mondays became more beautiful. Now, it's my luck [00:07:38] to visit Mr. Olumi's ruined house, which was across from my aunt's house. [00:07:42] Someone related to that topic comes to present information [00:07:45] to us that none of us have certainly understood. [00:07:49] And each time, I get to know a new type of Yazd architecture. [00:07:53] Every week, in a historical place [00:07:56] with a cultural activity. This week, it's [00:07:59] a book. The needy children were explained below. [00:08:03] And when the Monday visit was made, Liberation Mondays [00:08:06] every week, in one of Yazd's [00:08:10] historical sites, a flower-scattering ceremony [00:08:21] In Muharram this year, thanks to these dear ones, [00:08:24] one billion Toman was collected, which led to the release [00:08:27] of 10 prisoners of non-violent crimes. Kazem [00:08:31] Dehghani, IRIB News Agency, Yazd. [00:09:06] the latest developments in the Strait of Hormuz. Let's have an update [00:09:10] on what has happened in the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 [00:09:13] hours, and of course, the statements of Dr. [00:09:16] Rezaei, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council [00:09:19] of our country, regarding the speculations raised about negotiations between Iran and the US, [00:09:23] and his emphasis that without the fulfillment [00:09:27] of Iran's conditions, no negotiations will [00:09:30] take place. I invite you to [00:09:52] the speculations raised about negotiations [00:09:56] with the US, a lot of hype is being created [00:09:59] in various media outlets. Dr. Rezaei, the Secretary [00:10:02] of the Supreme National Security Council of our country, emphasized that without [00:10:05] the fulfillment of conditions, no negotiations will [00:10:09] take place. What are our most important conditions [00:10:13] for entering into negotiations with the Americans, [00:10:16] if we want to? Well, [00:10:19] you see, you started the discussion from, I think, a precise [00:10:23] point. Over the past few days, we have witnessed [00:10:27] a surge, especially in [00:10:30] energy prices in [00:10:33] international markets. This has [00:10:37] actually intensified the pressure on Donald Trump [00:10:41] due to his unwise actions, [00:10:44] and instead of controlling [00:10:47] and reducing tensions in the current [00:10:50] war, he is constantly escalating these tensions. [00:10:54] Its effects, more than on his opponents, [00:10:57] are actually affecting American citizens and citizens [00:11:01] of Western societies. Well, we have seen in recent days [00:11:05] a severe production of various media content on social [00:11:08] networks, indicating the dissatisfaction [00:11:12] of the people, and gradually, [00:11:15] even pro-Trump factions have joined the critics. [00:11:19] Therefore, we saw that, for example, yesterday, he posted [00:11:22] a message on his social network, [00:11:26] claiming that there are efforts from within [00:11:29] Iran for negotiations, and that I am [00:11:33] the one who will decide whether I will negotiate [00:11:36] or not. Well, this hype is, of course, a worn-out [00:11:39] scenario. In the past, whenever [00:11:43] an American action caused an increase [00:11:47] in energy prices, he tried to manage it with rhetoric, [00:11:50] using social media and media space. [00:11:54] He doesn't allow it to go above a certain level. Well, [00:11:57] you saw the price of Brent crude oil in these few days. The price [00:12:01] of each gallon of gasoline, the price of each gallon of diesel in various [00:12:05] US states has broken records, meaning it's [00:12:08] unprecedented in at least the past 15 or 20 years. [00:12:12] These prices, these signals, or these statements [00:12:15] are effectively being made with this approach to control [00:12:19] it. Well, the tweet that Dr. Rezaei, the esteemed Secretary [00:12:22] of the Supreme National Security Council, published [00:12:26] last night, was actually in line with this point, [00:12:29] that firstly, the international [00:12:32] community and public opinion should all be focused [00:12:36] on what is happening. We should not be distracted [00:12:39] by Trump's contradictory and inconsistent statements. One time he says he won't negotiate, [00:12:43] another time he says he will negotiate, another time he says he decides [00:12:47] what we should do, another time he says Iran doesn't even exist on the map, [00:12:51] another time he says there's no navy, then he attacks, then he says [00:12:55] he opened the Strait of Hormuz. Then that same [00:12:59] night, their submarine is captured. [00:13:01] And these contradictory statements are practically [00:13:05] revealing, one after another, Trump's psychological [00:13:08] and mental structure to the world's public opinion, [00:13:12] showing that this person and his statements are not reliable. [00:13:16] The message that Dr. Rezaei published last night is actually [00:13:18] about this, that firstly, no [00:13:22] negotiation has taken place. The more important point [00:13:25] is this: we have announced seven preconditions [00:13:28] to the Americans. This has been announced to the Americans [00:13:32] through intermediaries. Specifically, the end of war on all fronts, [00:13:36] meaning Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, [00:13:39] and Iranians and countries in the resistance axis, including [00:13:43] Iraq and so on. These are fully encompassed. Our conditions [00:13:46] are based on that Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. Part of it [00:13:50] is included there, part of it has been updated. [00:13:53] I will explain the difference. The second point is about [00:13:57] the blocked funds, the frozen funds, the release of which [00:14:01] is one of the preconditions. The next point is actually the complete lifting [00:14:04] of the naval blockade, which the Americans have been intensifying [00:14:08] over the past two weeks. I would also like to mention [00:14:11] that the next point is about nuclear issues, which they [00:14:15] are constantly maneuvering on. This recent meeting of the IAEA [00:14:18] Board of Governors, which unfortunately, due to the efforts [00:14:21] of its Director-General and three European countries, [00:14:25] led to the issuance of an anti-Iranian resolution, shows that [00:14:29] despite Trump constantly saying that there is nothing [00:14:32] left of Iran's nuclear program, this option is still on their [00:14:36] table because of the pressures they want to exert [00:14:39] on Iran to build a consensus against Iran. And [00:14:43] these are among the conditions that Iran has set. [00:14:46] Now, what is the point? Previously, the perception was that [00:14:49] if, for example, the US fulfilled one condition, we would take [00:14:53] one step forward, then another step for the second condition, [00:14:56] and so on. This time, the situation has completely [00:14:59] reversed. That is, our agreement from the Islamic [00:15:03] Republic of Iran, which was created with a [00:15:05] common understanding across the entire government, [00:15:09] is that the US must, if it wants a problem [00:15:12] to be solved, if it wants traffic [00:15:15] in the Strait of Hormuz to return to a state [00:15:19] where it is not blocked – which, of course, is a point again, [00:15:23] it will be different from before [00:15:25] the war – but this requires that all these [00:15:29] conditions be implemented at once and in one go. There [00:15:32] is no more step-by-step approach. These conditions must be met, [00:15:36] and then we will come to manage the Strait of Hormuz [00:15:39] with our own management, with our own mechanisms [00:15:43] and executive arrangements, and allow vessels, oil tankers, [00:15:47] and in fact, ships that are not involved [00:15:50] in anti-terrorist activities to pass harmlessly, [00:15:53] and it is not intended to once [00:15:57] again equip the region with an arsenal of weapons. [00:16:01] That is, with the flags of non-belligerent [00:16:03] countries, they will be allowed to pass. This is the whole [00:16:07] story. The Oman meeting, I will refer to it now, [00:16:11] was supposed to be held today, and due to American [00:16:14] pressure and the reaction of the Saudis, it was canceled [00:16:18] and postponed to another time. It was [00:16:21] to justify the littoral countries of the Persian [00:16:25] Gulf about the nature of our agreement with the Omanis. [00:16:28] This agreement was about the fact that [00:16:31] if one day, with the fulfillment of these conditions, the Strait [00:16:35] is reopened for traffic and this structure is to [00:16:39] be implemented, the governing mechanism is what we, as [00:16:42] two countries with a coastline, [00:16:45] agreed upon among ourselves, and it is to be implemented [00:16:49] based on that mechanism. And these countries were [00:16:52] supposed to be informed, and contrary to the claims [00:16:56] of some, neither were negotiations supposed to take place, [00:17:00] nor was anything else supposed to happen. [00:17:03] At the same time, it was a signal to neighboring countries [00:17:07] that we believe in de-escalation in the region. Our executive [00:17:10] mechanism also ensures the security of passage [00:17:14] and trade in the region, especially since the Americans [00:17:16] are exerting pressure for the use of the southern [00:17:20] corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, and unfortunately, we have [00:17:24] seen its effects. Well, it is natural that we have not [00:17:28] allowed any such thing. That is, [00:17:31] all vessels that have moved through that southern corridor [00:17:34] have suffered damage. Therefore, clarifying this matter was [00:17:38] supposed to happen today, that is, yesterday, [00:17:41] Monday, in Muscat, Oman, with the presence of 8 [00:17:44] countries. Well, with the pressure that the Americans [00:17:48] exerted, and Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE finally [00:17:51] made statements, this has been postponed for now. This has a precedent. [00:17:55] That is, throughout these two months that negotiations between [00:17:58] Iran and Oman have been ongoing, time and again, due to American [00:18:02] interference, disruptions have [00:18:04] occurred in the negotiation process between these two [00:18:08] littoral countries, as you also mentioned. [00:18:12] However, there are other concerns for the US [00:18:16] and the Zionist regime. Last night, a UN [00:18:19] Security Council meeting on the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait [00:18:23] was held. US officials [00:18:26] are expressing their desire to negotiate with the Yemenis [00:18:30] regarding this Strait. After the desperation [00:18:34] they faced on the battlefield and the great [00:18:37] victories that the Yemenis achieved, it seems [00:18:41] that Zionist media and even US and Zionist [00:18:45] regime political officials are very concerned about this [00:18:49] issue. Some media outlets in the US [00:18:53] have even run headlines saying that the US [00:18:55] was defeated by Iran on the second front. Yes, [00:18:58] the continuous victories of the resistance [00:19:01] front have practically caused the US and the Zionist [00:19:04] regime to fall into [00:19:08] a strategic stalemate. The US [00:19:11] involvement in the Yemen [00:19:14] issue, which happened once before, [00:19:18] and Trump was forced to retreat [00:19:21] against the Yemeni national [00:19:24] army forces, has been repeated. [00:19:27] This is a very big event. We must be aware [00:19:31] that sometimes we are talking about the battle of two [00:19:34] power blocs in the world. Sometimes we are talking [00:19:38] about the battle of Iran with the entire Western [00:19:41] Zionist bloc, including NATO and US regional allies. [00:19:45] Iran, as a country that is, after all, established, [00:19:48] powerful, and with high military capability [00:19:52] and deterrence in the region, is now at a stage [00:19:56] where it is talking about a country that they are [00:20:00] not even willing to accept as a country. That is, [00:20:03] you saw in the news published by Western media, [00:20:07] they constantly refer to a group. And [00:20:11] of course, they try to portray that group as an Iranian [00:20:14] proxy group, and for years, they have planned for the disintegration [00:20:18] of this very country. Now, what has happened [00:20:22] has practically shattered the flimsy facade they had created [00:20:25] on the western [00:20:27] coast of Yemen and overlooking [00:20:31] the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, especially the port [00:20:34] of Mokha in that region. Well, this happened [00:20:37] with the martyrdom of Yemeni fighters, and it has practically [00:20:40] been avenged. Now, complete control has been established. [00:20:44] Of course, the Americans had been warned before that [00:20:47] your perception that you can inflict [00:20:51] damage with foreign forces, with multinational [00:20:54] forces, you might be able to cause some damage, which [00:20:57] they have done in past years, but they will never [00:21:01] have the power to establish their forces in that [00:21:05] region. Just as they made this mistake in the Strait of Hormuz [00:21:08] as well, and today they see that it is absolutely impossible [00:21:12] for them to gain control over traffic in the Strait [00:21:16] of Hormuz. The same mistake has happened again in the Strait [00:21:19] of Bab-el-Mandeb. Now, what is happening from a geopolitical [00:21:22] perspective? The main arteries and strategic [00:21:26] corridors that manage [00:21:29] East-West international trade are now effectively [00:21:33] out of the reach of their [00:21:37] and American mercenary elements in the region, [00:21:40] and there is no possibility of traffic in these [00:21:44] areas. Both the main artery of the Strait of Hormuz and [00:21:47] the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb on the other side, [00:21:51] and with the operation that we had in the previous stage, [00:21:55] in the interval between July 15th and 17 days later, [00:21:58] which was another stage of the war we had, the incident [00:22:02] we created in the Suez Canal, we also warned the Americans [00:22:05] that not only Hormuz, not only Bab-el-Mandeb, [00:22:09] but we also have access to Suez. And at [00:22:12] the same time, in addition to all these waterways, [00:22:16] at the same time, the oil pipeline [00:22:19] of Saudi Arabia in Yanbu port was also [00:22:23] hit. A pipeline that was heavily focused on bypassing [00:22:27] the Strait of Hormuz faced a severe disruption [00:22:30] in oil exports due to this incident. Saudi Arabia, [00:22:34] as you know, the reliance of the global market, especially [00:22:37] the Americans themselves, at this geographical [00:22:41] point, is on exports that have been carried out [00:22:45] from Saudi Arabia in very large volumes for [00:22:48] years. And the event we are talking about today [00:22:52] regarding the widespread increase in energy [00:22:55] prices, especially oil, diesel, and gasoline [00:22:59] in international markets, is due to the inability [00:23:03] of American mercenaries in the region, US allied [00:23:06] countries in the region, to meet market demand. [00:23:09] Well, what is happening today in this process I mentioned [00:23:12] to you is completely under the control of the resistance [00:23:15] front. What does this indicate? It indicates that [00:23:19] not only did America's initial goals regarding the war [00:23:22] against Iran not materialize, meaning the collapse of the political [00:23:26] system, the disintegration of greater Iran, and the events they pursued, [00:23:30] not only did they not happen, but they are constantly [00:23:33] creating new issues and problems for themselves. [00:23:36] Just like a crazy [00:23:39] person who, no matter how hard he tries to get out of [00:23:42] one predicament, constantly gets himself into more [00:23:46] predicaments. The events happening in our region these [00:23:50] days are a perfect example of this. Dr. [00:23:53] Ghaderi, we talked about the developments [00:23:56] in Yemen. Many countries in the region [00:24:00] and regional media have also addressed this issue, that [00:24:04] the Yemenis have been able to achieve a great accomplishment. [00:24:07] Many are talking about the possibility that these [00:24:10] achievements, with American and even Zionist [00:24:13] regime intervention, may be temporary for the Yemenis. [00:24:17] Others are responding, given the areas [00:24:20] that are actually very strategic and mountainous, overlooking [00:24:24] the western coasts of the Red Sea, [00:24:27] that recapturing these strategic areas from [00:24:31] the Yemenis is not possible. What is your [00:24:34] analysis of the future of this battle in the Bab-el-Mandeb [00:24:38] Strait and the western coasts of the Red Sea? [00:24:41] And will Saudi Arabia take another military [00:24:45] action, or will it try to lift this oppressive [00:24:49] blockade against the people of Yemen? You see, [00:24:52] several things are happening there. I think [00:24:56] that, naturally, these achievements [00:24:59] that the Yemenis have made are achievements that can [00:25:03] be solidified, especially since the field [00:25:07] and military power that would need to be expended [00:25:10] to confront the Yemeni forces simply does [00:25:14] not exist right now. That is, as I mentioned, [00:25:17] the forces that have maintained this blockade until now. You see, [00:25:21] on the surface, it seems that the coalition forces or [00:25:25] the Saudi forces, they fundamentally lack the motivation and [00:25:28] will to fight. The Americans also [00:25:32] do not currently have the opportunity or ability [00:25:35] to deploy troops in another location in the Bab-el-Mandeb [00:25:39] Strait, or to engage a navy, or to allocate a part [00:25:42] of their military potential and capacity to that [00:25:46] point. This capacity simply does not exist. This capacity [00:25:50] has been so diminished in the past 6 months, specifically [00:25:53] in the war with Iran, that this possibility does not [00:25:57] exist. The more important and second point is that [00:26:00] within the anti-resistance movement in the region, [00:26:04] there are fundamental differences. Let's not forget that even [00:26:08] until today, as we speak, there are fundamental differences [00:26:11] between the two anti-resistance factions in the region, [00:26:14] namely Saudi Arabia and the UAE, over the issue [00:26:18] of Yemen. In recent months, there have been military clashes. [00:26:22] Yes, for example, in Marib province, they clashed several [00:26:26] times and inflicted casualties on each other. Therefore, it is possible [00:26:29] that the UAE is not very upset about [00:26:32] what happened and the weakening of Saudi [00:26:36] Arabia. Therefore, there is no unity in the front [00:26:39] against the Yemeni resistance movement. This is also [00:26:43] the second reason, and as I mentioned, the will that [00:26:46] exists now among the people of Yemen and the Yemeni national [00:26:50] army is a heroic surge after a several-year [00:26:53] oppressive blockade. It is unlikely that [00:26:56] they will be able to stand against this strong will [00:27:00] of the Yemenis with their weak will. In my opinion, [00:27:03] efforts will certainly be made, brutal military [00:27:07] actions, heavy bombardments will likely happen, [00:27:10] but this does not necessarily mean that they will be able [00:27:14] to recapture points from the Yemeni fighters. [00:27:17] Regarding other fronts, if we want [00:27:21] to talk about them, there is a greater [00:27:25] concern in the Zionist media [00:27:29] now than before regarding the resumption [00:27:32] of war with Iran. Some opponents of Netanyahu [00:27:36] are raising the issue that Netanyahu, the Prime Minister [00:27:40] of the Zionist regime, might take an action [00:27:43] against Iran on the eve of elections. At the same time, [00:27:47] opponents in the occupied territories are warning [00:27:50] about this issue, that given that the defenses [00:27:54] and radars of the countries bordering, especially [00:27:57] Jordan, with the occupied territories have been destroyed, [00:28:01] damages may be inflicted on the Zionist regime. [00:28:05] What is your analysis of the actions of the Zionist [00:28:09] regime in the future? Will they take a foolish [00:28:12] action in the coming days? You see, the Zionist regime [00:28:16] is strongly seeking to involve other actors, [00:28:19] especially the US, in this regard. Netanyahu will certainly [00:28:23] try to expand the scope of the war, but this [00:28:26] certainly requires the capacity and capability that must [00:28:30] exist in our army, and [00:28:32] the preparations that must be made for a widespread war. [00:28:36] It seems that a significant part of this hype is related [00:28:40] to the upcoming elections. You know, [00:28:43] viewers know that we have elections ahead in the Zionist [00:28:47] regime, meaning in the occupied territories, as well as midterm elections [00:28:50] in the US. Therefore, these are the points they are [00:28:53] raising for propaganda and psychological reasons to take advantage of this period.
