[00:00:25] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello again to our
[00:00:28] esteemed viewers. The Public Relations of the IRGC announced
[00:00:32] the destruction of two advanced American MQ1 drones.
[00:00:36] These two advanced drones were intercepted and destroyed
[00:00:39] at dawn and this morning by the fire of the IRGC's
[00:00:43] advanced aerospace defense system and under the control
[00:00:47] of the country's integrated air defense network in the skies
[00:00:50] west and east of the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:00:53] So far, four drones
[00:00:56] of the terrorist American army have been destroyed
[00:01:00] in the past few days by the fire of the IRGC's new advanced
[00:01:03] aerospace defense system.
[00:01:04] De-dollarization
[00:01:08] of trade exchanges in BRICS has become more serious.
[00:01:11] The Deputy Minister of Economic Policy of the Ministry of Economic
[00:01:15] Affairs and Finance described the creation of a new regional
[00:01:18] balance as one of the achievements of the meeting of the economic
[00:01:21] ministers of the member countries at the BRICS summit
[00:01:25] and said: The current trend in the world is the development
[00:01:29] of economic agreements.
[00:01:34] Iran also has very serious capacities in this regard. Perhaps
[00:01:38] one of our most important capacities that we use with our northern
[00:01:41] neighbors is our route capacity. We have a route that connects
[00:01:45] them to the free waters of the south.
[00:01:48] These exchanges and their development in
[00:01:52] several economic axes,
[00:01:54] meaning the strengthening of trade, the creation
[00:01:57] of trade routes,
[00:02:00] and the creation of an economic balance based on the use of local
[00:02:03] currencies instead of a single global currency and actually
[00:02:07] replacing the dollar can provide
[00:02:10] a good opportunity for us to develop our regional agreements.
[00:02:13] The results
[00:02:17] of experts' investigations show that far-right parties
[00:02:21] and groups in Europe are no longer
[00:02:24] a marginal movement. The latest example has
[00:02:27] emerged in Germany, where the far-right
[00:02:30] Alternative for Germany party
[00:02:34] managed to win 44% of the votes in the state
[00:02:38] elections. Daily economic
[00:02:42] and social problems in European countries
[00:02:46] have increasingly paved the way for far-right parties to
[00:02:49] gain prominence, so that with the help of aligned
[00:02:53] politicians and media and by linking the problems
[00:02:56] of these countries to immigrants and Muslims, they can turn the people against them.
[00:03:03] The main policy of populist parties is opposition to immigrants.
[00:03:07] They portray immigrants as the cause of problems
[00:03:11] and insecurity. The slogans and positions of European
[00:03:14] right-wing parties are similar to Trump's.
[00:03:17] In the past months in England, several waves of Islamophobia
[00:03:21] and anti-immigrant sentiment, fueled by the misinformation
[00:03:25] of far-right individuals and groups on social media, have led to
[00:03:28] an increase in attacks against
[00:03:30] Islamic places, homes, shops of Muslims, and immigrants.
[00:03:33] In the latest
[00:03:36] incidents, two days after demonstrations against immigrants
[00:03:39] in the port of Dover, hundreds of black-clad men
[00:03:42] violently threatened immigrants in the city
[00:03:46] and clashed with the police. as
[00:03:48] anti-fascist
[00:03:53] and anti-far-right individuals, like Tommy Robinson,
[00:03:56] as well as politicians with authoritarian views,
[00:04:00] our voices must be seen and heard.
[00:04:03] We should not merely observe the destructive approach
[00:04:07] of these individuals. Nigel Farage, the controversial
[00:04:11] anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim figure and leader of the far-right
[00:04:14] Reform Party in the UK, in his latest statements,
[00:04:18] called immigrants a serious
[00:04:19] threat to the UK.
[00:04:22] We will stop immigrant boats within the first hundred days
[00:04:26] of forming our government. A number of sociologists
[00:04:31] in England believe that most far-right groups in Europe
[00:04:34] are supporters of Israel and also enjoy their support,
[00:04:38] because they are aligned in their racist and anti-Muslim
[00:04:41] discourse. Social monitoring institutions
[00:04:45] in England
[00:04:49] believe that structural racism,
[00:04:53] supported by a large number of British politicians,
[00:04:57] has led to a rapid increase in attacks
[00:05:00] against Muslims and other minorities in this country,
[00:05:03] and has created a darker outlook for them in this
[00:05:07] society. Mojtaba
[00:05:10] Ghasemzadeh, IRIB News Agency, London.
[00:05:14] Following
[00:05:14] a prolonged attack
[00:05:18] by the Zionist regime on the west of Gaza City,
[00:05:21] one Palestinian was martyred and several others were injured.
[00:05:25] The Palestinian Information Center in Gaza reported
[00:05:29] an escalation of military attacks by the Zionist regime
[00:05:32] in various areas of central and southern Gaza. Zionist
[00:05:36] regime military vehicles today extensively shelled
[00:05:40] the eastern areas of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central
[00:05:44] Gaza Strip, as well as the southern areas of Khan Younis.
[00:05:47] Simultaneously, occupation military
[00:05:50] vehicles shelled east of Deir al-Balah.
[00:05:53] Zionist regime army helicopters also heavily targeted
[00:05:57] the eastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central
[00:06:01] Gaza Strip. Zionist regime army
[00:06:04] warships also shelled the coasts of Nuseirat
[00:06:08] in the central Gaza Strip. Another news is that the Ministry
[00:06:12] of Health in Gaza, referring to the fuel cutoff for health
[00:06:16] institutions, warned that the cessation of fuel supply
[00:06:19] for these institutions has put vital services,
[00:06:22] including surgery, childbirth, and care for the injured,
[00:06:25] at risk of stopping, and could lead
[00:06:28] to a humanitarian catastrophe in the region.
[00:06:32] The Director
[00:06:35] General of Education of Tehran City advised
[00:06:39] students' parents to finalize their children's registration
[00:06:43] as soon as possible. The registration
[00:06:45] has not yet been completed.
[00:06:47] More than 90%, I think more than 91%
[00:06:51] of the registration has been done. The registration
[00:06:55] for textbooks is also almost in the same format.
[00:06:59] So, my request to the students and respected
[00:07:03] parents of students is to register and order textbooks sooner
[00:07:06] so that the school can have better and more precise
[00:07:09] planning. The fifth
[00:07:15] honoring ceremony for the lasting figures of cultural
[00:07:18] heritage with the slogan "Iran, the Home of the Good"
[00:07:22] was held at the historical cultural complex of Saadabad.
[00:07:25] In this ceremony, the names and memories of two deceased
[00:07:29] figures, the late Dr. Ezzatollah Negahban and the late Dr. Shahriar
[00:07:32] Adl, were commemorated. Also, Gholamali Haddad
[00:07:35] Adel, the head of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature,
[00:07:39] Mohammad Reza Khalatbari, was honored
[00:07:53] for his years of efforts. On the
[00:07:55] night
[00:07:58] that passed, everyone had come for Iran, a land
[00:08:02] that, in addition to its strong structures and enduring culture,
[00:08:06] can be known through the people who have worked for years
[00:08:09] for its name and lasting heritage.
[00:08:12] We have assets who are the guardians
[00:08:16] of this home, and without these assets,
[00:08:19] this home will not remain eternal. On the night
[00:08:23] that passed, everyone spoke of love and affection,
[00:08:27] of experiences, the manifestation of thought, and all the hardships
[00:08:30] they endured so that they could show us, future generations,
[00:08:34] that the story of this land is a narrative of love
[00:08:38] that resides in its body. Iran is a general
[00:08:41] concept. This is our home, this is our ancestral
[00:08:45] home, our maternal home. Everything we have is here.
[00:08:48] I don't know if I served or not.
[00:08:52] I don't know if I fulfilled my duty or not, but
[00:08:55] all my effort has been to do this. God willing,
[00:08:59] it has been done. The honors in this ceremony were only a small
[00:09:03] part of its philosophy. We should not forget our assets.
[00:09:06] Now that they are old
[00:09:10] or unable to work
[00:09:13] on excavations, they should not be
[00:09:17] isolated and forgotten. To prevent our assets
[00:09:20] from being forgotten, we reintroduce them to society.
[00:09:24] A new initiative this year was the honoring
[00:09:28] of the guardian of the Persian language, Dr. Haddad
[00:09:31] Adel. This was a new initiative because we believe
[00:09:35] that the Persian language is an Iranian heritage.
[00:09:38] Preserving this language is actually preserving
[00:09:44] our culture and safeguarding it is the duty of every Iranian.
[00:09:47] And
[00:09:50] in the fifth ceremony honoring the enduring figures
[00:09:53] of cultural heritage with the slogan "Iran,
[00:09:57] the Home of the Good", archaeology, field
[00:10:01] excavations, research, and Persian language and literature
[00:10:04] were honored and appreciated. Azad
[00:10:29] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello and welcome to
[00:10:33] the Hormuz Battle program. In this part of the program,
[00:10:36] we specifically want to talk about the latest developments
[00:10:39] in Yemen, where many regional and international
[00:10:43] media are talking about the great achievements
[00:10:47] and victories of the Yemenis. Of course, the conflict
[00:10:51] in Taiz province continues. Last night, we also had
[00:10:55] Saudi Arabian airstrikes on Taiz province.
[00:10:58] In addition, some networks are talking about this very
[00:11:02] issue, that given the situation that the Yemenis and the Yemeni
[00:11:06] armed forces are in, the victory of the Yemenis
[00:11:09] is consolidated. We want to talk more about
[00:11:12] the developments in Yemen. Here in the studio, we are hosting
[00:11:16] Dr. Ghannad Bashi, an expert on West Asian
[00:11:19] issues. Dr., I greet you. Welcome.
[00:11:23] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I greet you and
[00:11:26] the esteemed viewers. God willing, I greet you. We are at your service.
[00:11:30] Thank you. Dr., if you agree, let's talk about
[00:11:34] the importance of the victory of the Yemenis, where
[00:11:37] it seems that some regional
[00:11:40] and international media are still in shock
[00:11:43] about this great victory that the Yemenis have achieved.
[00:11:47] Yes, that's
[00:11:49] really the case. They had advertised
[00:11:53] Saudi Arabia's capabilities
[00:11:55] in the Yemen issue, which I saw some think that
[00:11:58] this Saudi withdrawal is a trick, a trap. Now, it's really
[00:12:02] not like that. The dimensions of this victory are really
[00:12:05] becoming clearer as time goes on.
[00:12:08] Look, it's not just a military
[00:12:12] victory, which is militarily very valuable, because
[00:12:15] the forces they had trained, the weapons they had provided
[00:12:18] to the mercenaries, the area they had chosen, everything
[00:12:22] was such that it was thought that they could move
[00:12:25] towards Sana'a, the pro-Saudi forces, the Saudi
[00:12:28] puppets. But suddenly and with
[00:12:32] a very strange speed,
[00:12:35] Ansarullah and the Yemeni armed forces
[00:12:38] were able to push them back. This itself is
[00:12:42] a very important military victory. Look, militarily,
[00:12:46] Saudi Arabia has bought the most weapons in the world.
[00:12:49] I mean, not now. In Trump's first term,
[00:12:52] before Mr. Biden, Mr. Trump came to power. He signed
[00:12:55] the largest economic and military contract
[00:12:58] in history. So, what is expected is that these
[00:13:02] weapons will work somewhere. Again, during this period,
[00:13:06] during this recent trip, Mr. Trump came, and
[00:13:09] I mean, yes, yes, we don't
[00:13:13] say yes. Well, Trump came,
[00:13:16] and what did they do with the weapons?
[00:13:18] All the prestige of their weapons is gone. Not only
[00:13:22] have they had the most advanced
[00:13:25] weapons at their disposal, but in addition,
[00:13:29] during this period, they also came and signed
[00:13:32] a tripartite security agreement.
[00:13:35] Yes, their advisors,
[00:13:38] their advisors receive
[00:13:41] the highest salaries from these people. Again,
[00:13:44] in this war, new advisors came to train. Well,
[00:13:48] their market will really stagnate. For the Americans,
[00:13:52] the stagnation of the market for these weapons itself,
[00:13:55] you see, creates an economic uproar that these weapons
[00:13:58] and training could not do anything.
[00:14:01] But in terms of the economic position of the Bab el-Mandeb
[00:14:05] Strait, everyone knows that the power is so high,
[00:14:09] meaning it is such that they overlook the heights
[00:14:13] in the south of Al-Maqa city that they
[00:14:16] can maintain it and completely control the strait from
[00:14:20] there even with ordinary weapons. So, this is also
[00:14:23] a very important issue. Previously, it was from Hodeidah
[00:14:27] province. Using ballistic missiles, given the distance
[00:14:30] they had. Now, a Yemeni analyst was pointing
[00:14:34] out that considering that the width of the Bab el-Mandeb
[00:14:37] Strait is approximately 37 kilometers,
[00:14:40] it's 20 kilometers from Mayun Island, meaning they are now
[00:14:44] controlling it visually. Yes, if someone wants to close
[00:14:48] a strait, it's very easy. A normal boat with 3 people
[00:14:52] can create a disturbance for a very large ship. Closing straits is very
[00:14:55] easy. If you assume this, but now they really have control
[00:14:59] and can monitor, especially since one of their successes,
[00:15:03] so to speak, is the seizure of surveillance
[00:15:05] equipment that they have obtained. This is another issue.
[00:15:09] Another very important issue is that Saudi Arabia's
[00:15:13] Yemenis were busy besieging Saudi Arabia. You know
[00:15:17] that at the beginning of this war, in the first two or three
[00:15:21] months, let's go back to this new round of war, which started
[00:15:24] 11 years ago, meaning on March 26,
[00:15:28] 2015, Saudi Arabia attacked Yemen without reason,
[00:15:31] exactly when they were laying the foundation of a democracy
[00:15:34] for the people. There were national dialogues. They came and attacked.
[00:15:39] Well, now after these two months, the war has started.
[00:15:42] What was the war about? They came to tighten
[00:15:46] the siege on Yemen. Ansarullah came and implemented
[00:15:49] a strategy of siege against siege. Now, the power
[00:15:52] of the siege is such that Saudi Arabia's oil
[00:15:56] has been affected. This is a very big surprise.
[00:15:59] Saudi Arabia, which in these circumstances was helping
[00:16:03] the Western world, both in the presence of sanctions on Iran and everywhere else,
[00:16:19] Saudi oil, which is really very important
[00:16:23] in the energy market. This is after the targeting
[00:16:26] of the east-west pipeline that used to come to
[00:16:30] Yanbu port. A lot of focus and investment had been made
[00:16:33] on it, and it was something like 5 to 6 million barrels
[00:16:52] important Saudi Arabia has targeted Saudi military bases,
[00:16:56] many of which were, so to speak, warehouses for American
[00:16:59] aircraft and equipment. This is very important
[00:17:03] for a country whose 10 bases have been attacked. They created
[00:17:07] a crisis in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because there were miscalculations.
[00:17:11] Saudi Arabia did not think that Ansarullah would
[00:17:14] have such a force, such a power, that it could
[00:17:17] not only confront these issues, not only confront the siege,
[00:17:21] but also respond to what they do.
[00:17:24] And this is very important. Yes, Dr.,
[00:17:27] you talked about the importance of
[00:17:31] this victory, the great achievements
[00:17:34] that the Yemenis have achieved.
[00:17:38] I wanted to ask you about the impact
[00:17:42] of this great victory achieved by the Yemenis
[00:17:46] on regional equations. How does it affect
[00:17:49] regional equations, especially after the Americans
[00:17:53] and the Zionist regime entered the battle with Iran,
[00:17:57] and here they became desperate? Their focus was on
[00:18:00] other fronts, especially Yemen, where they also
[00:18:04] got into trouble. Yes. You see,
[00:18:09] our regional balance was based on American power,
[00:18:12] with America at its center, against the resistance
[00:18:16] front. All the countries whose origins were American
[00:18:19] and whose economies
[00:18:21] were dependent on America, all the oil dollars went
[00:18:25] back to America. Everyone was convinced that America
[00:18:28] was their supporter and that they could crush
[00:18:32] the resistance. Iran
[00:18:36] would be destroyed, its military power
[00:18:39] would be destroyed, and it would gain
[00:18:43] dominance and leadership with the backing of America.
[00:18:47] You see, their dream was this. The dream was that
[00:18:50] Saudi Arabia would enter the arena as the elder
[00:18:54] brother. Why? Because it covers the Lebanon front
[00:18:57] and the Syria front. All the actions they took in Syria
[00:19:01] were with their money and planning, and they can
[00:19:03] take control of a large area. All these equations,
[00:19:06] when Saudi Arabia is harmed
[00:19:10] in this way in these circumstances,
[00:19:13] and the Americans, the Americans who now have no base,
[00:19:17] and they have been invited to come, but they said
[00:19:21] they won't. Trump said he won't come. Why won't
[00:19:24] he come? Because Trump himself made the first ceasefire
[00:19:27] in American history with all the Yemenis.
[00:19:30] It was about a year ago that American ships were being
[00:19:34] hit, and Trump came and said that he would have a ceasefire.
[00:19:37] And this is a very important unilateral ceasefire. So,
[00:19:41] such an experience does not allow them to experience
[00:19:44] it again, and the Americans are no longer planning
[00:19:48] to get their soldiers killed. So, they prefer
[00:19:51] to involve others in this matter. Others don't dare,
[00:19:55] really, because on the one hand, they don't have the capability
[00:19:59] to confront Ansarullah and are vulnerable. On the other hand,
[00:20:02] internally, you see, if in any of the regional countries,
[00:20:06] like Pakistan, Turkey, anywhere, they want to cooperate
[00:20:09] with Saudi Arabia, their problem is public opinion,
[00:20:13] that you are cooperating with Israel. Why? Helping
[00:20:17] Saudi Arabia is a kind of cooperation with Israel,
[00:20:20] and this is very important. Because Saudi Arabia
[00:20:23] has been an ally of America in general. So, in my opinion,
[00:20:26] a deadlock has been created for these countries. So, what
[00:20:30] happens to the regional balance? Really, if we examine
[00:20:34] it militarily, there is nothing else there.
[00:20:37] Are the Americans there? No.
[00:20:40] Is Saudi Arabia there with its expensive
[00:20:43] equipment? That's not there either. Other countries
[00:20:47] are also not really capable. Now,
[00:20:50] with Iran as the center, a serious military balance
[00:20:54] and behind it a political power backed by the people,
[00:20:57] the support of the people. This is a very large
[00:21:01] part that helps, just as in the case of Iran.
[00:21:04] Really, they never predicted that the Iranian people
[00:21:08] would enter the matter. In their calculations,
[00:21:11] they have been in the streets and squares for nearly 20
[00:21:14] nights. It has also received widespread coverage in various
[00:21:18] media outlets, that it has
[00:21:21] been so long. This scene that is happening in Iraq
[00:21:24] under the leadership of religion can happen in Riyadh,
[00:21:28] in Mecca, in any of the countries. Now, its news
[00:21:32] is not being published. So, that scene
[00:21:35] is not an open door for them to move.
[00:21:38] So, the regional balance, if there is a balance,
[00:21:42] on this side, the balance is really zero.
[00:21:45] Really, what I'm saying is clear. You might see
[00:21:49] them take a foolish action
[00:21:52] regarding Yemen. In my opinion, if they do it,
[00:21:56] it's a pure mistake. You see, in the
[00:21:59] Iraq war, when the Americans came, they told Israel,
[00:22:02] "Be quiet. If you come, the people will rise up,
[00:22:06] and it will get worse." If Saudi Arabia openly cooperates
[00:22:10] now, in my opinion, many pilots who today were said
[00:22:14] to have flown might be Israelis. It's possible
[00:22:17] that it was said before
[00:22:22] that the pilots who were bombing Yemen were Israelis. But this becoming
[00:22:26] public means complete disgrace, meaning the Saudi
[00:22:30] structure will move towards further collapse.
[00:22:33] Look, Wahhabism is strongly anti-Jewish, and openly. They have an extremist
[00:22:37] religious base that openly acts against
[00:22:40] Jews. This is not something that if they do,
[00:22:44] it's the best thing. In my opinion, it means
[00:22:48] coming and revealing.
[00:23:14] Perhaps it's a question for many viewers about
[00:23:18] the courage and bravery of the Yemeni people,
[00:23:22] who even during the Gaza war, were saying
[00:23:25] that we are waiting for a war with America, meaning
[00:23:28] they didn't even consider the Zionist regime. They
[00:23:32] said the Zionist regime is not on our level.
[00:23:35] A question that many people might ask
[00:23:39] is where does this courage of the Yemeni
[00:23:42] people come from? You see, the Imam once said
[00:23:45] that don't call it Imam.
[00:23:49] The economic interests of the Western world,
[00:23:53] as it is said, fear human beings. This is
[00:23:55] very important. When a human being connects with spirituality,
[00:23:59] it's like a light bulb that has no meaning if
[00:24:03] it's not connected to the power plant. Just connect the light
[00:24:06] bulb to the power plant and it finds meaning.
[00:24:10] A human being without spirituality is like a light bulb
[00:24:14] without connection. As soon as spirituality finds
[00:24:17] meaning, it becomes Commander Soleimani, it becomes the people
[00:24:21] of Yemen, it becomes the people of Iran. It really becomes
[00:24:24] like that. So, they don't want such a view
[00:24:27] to emerge in the world. Look, the discussion of
[00:24:31] the Prophet's grandson on the plains of Karbala
[00:24:35] was all about perspective. Yazid's view of humanity
[00:24:39] was materialistic. The view that Hazrat said, "I will
[00:24:42] go and enjoin good and forbid evil." This spiritual
[00:24:46] view makes a person who becomes human, doesn't fear anyone.
[00:25:00] is not against the West. Let me tell you this,
[00:25:03] even that dagger is there, meaning
[00:25:07] being self-defeated becomes a pawn of the capitalist
[00:25:11] world. They want to turn us into a pawn, whether
[00:25:15] it's our architecture, our clothes, our language,
[00:25:18] anything. So, a human being
[00:25:20] in the true sense, as soon as he becomes human,
[00:25:24] has humanity here. The manifestation of humanity, whoever wants
[00:25:27] to see humanity, this is it. A human being who is
[00:25:31] connected to God is like a light bulb that turns
[00:25:34] on. As soon as it is disconnected, it becomes a mercenary
[00:25:38] who surrendered to the Sheikh of Kuwait
[00:25:41] and brought a song. Dr., we have less than two
[00:25:45] minutes. If you could talk about the future
[00:25:48] of the equations between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
[00:25:51] Will this tripartite agreement that Saudi Arabia
[00:25:55] signed have any benefit for the Saudis if they
[00:25:59] continue on this path against the Yemeni people?
[00:26:02] The agreement with Turkey and Pakistan. Look, this
[00:26:06] action itself is a mockery. Let me tell you something.
[00:26:09] You see, they attacked Yemen at a time when the Yemenis
[00:26:13] started besieging them in return for the siege.
[00:26:15] They went and signed an agreement. This is a mockery,
[00:26:19] right? Look, for more than 40 years, we thought
[00:26:22] that the best defense for a country is a regional
[00:26:26] pact, the most effective, cheapest, most useful,
[00:26:30] and most up-to-date. This is what you need if
[00:26:33] you want to defend your borders, to have a regional pact.
[00:26:36] We thought about it for more than 40 years. Now,
[00:26:40] we are using the benefits of their victory, even
[00:26:43] though the Yemenis are independent. This pact will only be
[00:26:46] effective and beneficial when all regional
[00:26:50] players, such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, participate
[00:26:53] in it. If they are not in a regional pact,
[00:26:57] then it's like you see, military
[00:27:00] work requires
[00:28:02] many things have gone on. Just
[00:28:05] last Thursday, we were worried about the complexity of the Iran
[00:28:09] war sent on the Strait. Today, we're worried
[00:28:12] about Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb,
[00:28:15] overland oil pipes going through Saudi Arabia,
[00:28:19] renewed fighting in Yemen, attacks launched from Iraq
[00:28:21] against Saudi infrastructure, Saudi Arabia asking for
[00:28:25] Washington for military help, and the Houthis being turned
[00:28:29] down. Riyadh deciding how much to provide to Yemen
[00:28:33] and defending against renewed attacks. I could go on
[00:28:36] and on, but in the last 70 days, seven days,
[00:28:40] we've seen something that I'd like to term the speed
[00:28:43] of war, and it is phenomenal, and truthfully, it's because
[00:28:47] of what the Houthis are doing as part of the greater
[00:28:50] efforts of Iran in that region. If we're just worried
[00:28:54] about the Strait of Hormuz, we've got a lot more to
[00:28:58] worry about than just that as this war continues
[00:29:01] to expand. Countries booming, Iran will end right after,
[00:29:05] maybe before, but going to end right after the midterms.
[00:29:08] Gasoline is going to drop like a rock.
[00:29:11] General, what is the percent chance that any of that
[00:29:14] is going to happen? Zero. Antonio, I mean,
[00:29:18] I hate to say it, but it's 0%.
[00:29:21] We're dealing with economic asymmetric approach by
[00:29:25] Iran and now some of their allies, and we're seeing,
[00:29:29] as Bobby just said, a lot of the Middle Eastern
[00:29:32] allies are turning away because they don't, they
[00:29:36] can't depend on us anymore. So, when you're talking about
[00:29:40] So there is a very good chance that the president keeps painting a
[00:29:43] very positive picture of all this. The interesting thing
[00:29:47] about Iran is that they know they're able to affect the United
[00:29:51] States based on the upcoming election. They do not have
[00:29:55] the same problem, they can do what they want to do without fear of their
[00:29:58] people. The president does not have that same advantage." "
