[00:00:26] Greetings. The most important news of 21 tonight.
[00:00:32] The First Vice President believes women should play a leading role
[00:00:36] in the economic war. The performance of women in managerial and
[00:00:40] social spheres has been outstanding.
[00:00:41] This
[00:00:46] registration for military and relief training courses
[00:00:49] for "Jan Fada" volunteers. In less than 100 minutes, the capacity
[00:00:53] of a thousand "Jan Fada" popular battalions was completed.
[00:00:55] It was decided that
[00:01:27] no negotiations would take place until Iran's conditions are met. Warnings from US
[00:01:34] oil giants about the end of
[00:01:37] strategic reserves. The Wall Street Journal reports a major
[00:01:41] fuel crisis has arrived.
[00:01:42] All these mechanisms have helped
[00:01:45] us curb the risk of rising prices
[00:01:49] and supply shortages. But now the power of these mechanisms
[00:01:52] is almost depleted.
[00:01:54] This
[00:01:57] accelerates the completion of the main road.
[00:02:38] are with you tonight, on the 20th day of the imposed war,
[00:02:41] with an analytical introduction to the 21:00 news. 20 days
[00:02:44] of resistance and steadfastness by you, the people, who showed
[00:02:48] that you would give your lives but not your land. You,
[00:02:51] the people of Jan Fada, who formed thousands of national
[00:02:54] resistance battalions and became Jan Fada of Iran in the national campaign.
[00:02:58] You sought revenge. for our martyred leader and
[00:03:01] cried out for revenge. The people who have been present in
[00:03:05] the field for almost 20 nights, Seyed Majid
[00:03:09] Mousavi has compared to firm mountains,
[00:03:12] raging rivers, and enemy-breaking epics.
[00:03:15] You who have amazed the East and West with your leadership.
[00:03:19] The President of Russia has spoken of your unity and cohesion, and
[00:03:23] French media has also shown your registration statistics
[00:03:26] in the Jan Fada campaign as a sign
[00:03:30] of your disgust with America and Israel and your mobilization
[00:03:34] around the axis of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[00:03:37] I realized your patriotism and your victory over the seemingly
[00:03:41] great powers of the world have left the world in awe,
[00:03:44] so much so that even American analysts like
[00:03:48] Jeffrey Sachs see the only way to end this war
[00:03:52] as America retreating to its own home.
[00:03:55] A senior Chinese military expert also said about Iran's military
[00:03:58] power: The legend of America's advanced technology has been shattered,
[00:04:02] and these seven months of battle have shown
[00:04:06] that bringing Iran to its knees is absolutely impossible.
[00:04:09] Iran's dominance over the Strait of Hormuz is also no
[00:04:13] longer a secret to anyone, a matter that
[00:04:16] America's South Korean allies have also acknowledged,
[00:04:19] saying that if we enter the Strait of Hormuz with warships
[00:04:23] at America's command, Iran will certainly
[00:04:26] teach us a lesson that will serve as a warning to all.
[00:04:30] Iran, by dominating the Strait of Hormuz, which is the nerve
[00:04:34] center of energy and the world economy, increases pressure
[00:04:38] on the American enemy every day. The Wall Street
[00:04:41] Journal has warned about the closure of this strait and its impact on rising
[00:04:45] energy prices in America. According to this
[00:04:49] American newspaper, the average price of diesel in
[00:04:52] America has exceeded an unprecedented price of over
[00:04:55] $6 per gallon, and in some other states it has reached
[00:04:59] $10. The price of gasoline, which for
[00:05:03] a long time has not seen numbers below $4,
[00:05:06] is in the past. The heavy missile
[00:05:10] and drone strikes by the Yemenis also stopped the oil transfer
[00:05:13] line of Saudi Arabia, halting the country's energy lifeline
[00:05:16] and disabling its strategic safety valve.
[00:05:20] This means a reduction in Aramco's
[00:05:23] ability to transport crude oil from production areas in
[00:05:27] the east of the country to refineries and export
[00:05:30] ports in its west. Of course, the Yemenis had
[00:05:34] already disabled several other Saudi Aramco oil facilities
[00:05:38] in Abha and Jizan before this devastating blow.
[00:05:41] With the release of satellite images of
[00:05:45] extensive damage to Aramco, it was written that the disablement
[00:05:48] of this pipeline threatens about four
[00:05:52] percent of the global oil supply.
[00:05:55] For a few days now, alongside the name of
[00:05:59] the Strait of Hormuz, the name of Bab el-Mandeb
[00:06:02] has also been heard many times. Another strait in the Red
[00:06:06] Sea that has become America's nightmare and, of course, its Zionist
[00:06:09] ally. A chokepoint that came
[00:06:12] under the control of the Yemeni armed forces after the Yemeni
[00:06:15] strike on Saudi mercenaries.
[00:06:19] The Atlantic magazine also headlined "Trump is losing
[00:06:23] another strait." The Atlantic
[00:06:26] considered the Yemeni advance to be a weakening of Trump's power
[00:06:30] to regain control of the maritime passages
[00:06:34] and wrote that now it is Iran and its allies
[00:06:37] who control the two main routes for oil transportation.
[00:06:41] Recent developments in West Asia
[00:06:44] have also provoked the reaction of an American
[00:06:48] political thinker. Robert Pape wrote that Iran
[00:06:51] is no longer just retaliating, but rather exploiting
[00:06:54] its own leverage. A direct attack on an aircraft
[00:06:58] carrier, dominance over the choke
[00:07:02] points of the Red Sea and a jump in gas prices
[00:07:05] to over $4 is a shock for America,
[00:07:09] and that too in just one month. And
[00:07:12] we all know that this authority and steadfastness are the result
[00:07:16] of 20 nights of your presence, patriotic nation,
[00:07:19] who did not leave the field empty and with your cries
[00:07:22] of revenge and blood vengeance, you neutralized
[00:07:25] all the enemy's conspiracies.
[00:07:52] and News Channel, and respected listeners of News
[00:07:56] Radio who receive our sound on FM frequency
[00:08:00] 95.5 MHz, I invite you to join us for the detailed news
[00:08:03] at 9 PM tonight. The First Vice President
[00:08:07] emphasized the presence of women in managerial
[00:08:10] and social spheres
[00:08:12] at the first meeting of the National Staff
[00:08:16] for Women and Family. Mr. Aref expressed
[00:08:19] satisfaction with the managerial performance of women and said
[00:08:23] that according to the 20-year development outlook document, we must
[00:08:27] achieve the first rank in the region, and to achieve this goal,
[00:08:31] we must utilize all elite forces, both
[00:08:34] women and men. Mr. Aref called
[00:08:37] for women to lead in the economic war and said
[00:08:41] that in the 20 nights that people were in the streets,
[00:08:45] women led and managed, and they must continue
[00:08:48] this path to preserve social capital.
[00:08:51] Mr. Aref also referred to the amendment of some laws
[00:08:55] related to women and said: Based on Article 21
[00:08:58] of the Constitution: The government is obliged
[00:09:02] to guarantee the material and spiritual rights of women.
[00:09:06] The Speaker of Parliament
[00:09:09] emphasized in a message on the eve of the 200th
[00:09:12] night of people's presence in the field that 20
[00:09:16] nights of people's presence proved that what was defeated
[00:09:20] was the invader's illusion, not the will of
[00:09:23] Iranians. Mr. Qalibaf in this
[00:09:27] message praised the epic, responsible, and
[00:09:30] conscious presence of the people in the streets
[00:09:33] and squares across the country and emphasized that the proud
[00:09:37] people of Islamic Iran by not emptying
[00:09:40] the streets under the fire of war and the enemy's security
[00:09:44] and economic pressures disrupted his calculations.
[00:09:48] The Speaker of Parliament also said: For us
[00:09:51] officials, the greatest gain of these days
[00:09:54] is the opportunity to serve. An opportunity that must be answered
[00:09:58] with honesty, striving, and relentless work.
[00:10:01] The head of the judiciary also paid tribute
[00:10:04] in a message to the 20 nights of people's presence in street
[00:10:08] maneuvers. Mr. Mohseni Ejei, describing this
[00:10:12] presence as the holy
[00:10:15] struggle of the nation, called the people the guardians
[00:10:18] of Islamic Iran who, by standing firm in the school
[00:10:22] of Hosseini, shook the pillars of arrogance.
[00:10:25] The head of the judiciary emphasized that this aware presence
[00:10:29] has not only disrupted the enemy's calculations,
[00:10:33] but by manifesting the cry of "Hayhat Minna
[00:10:36] Zillah," it has proven the unbreakable bond between the nation and
[00:10:40] the system, and has completed
[00:10:43] Iran's victory against global threats.
[00:10:46] The commander of the Aerospace Force
[00:10:49] of the Revolutionary Guards also emphasized that we must preserve
[00:10:52] the greatness and glory of the people's "Be'that" in the streets,
[00:10:55] maintaining sacred cohesion and unity in all fields.
[00:10:59] He said: This nightly uprising has caused
[00:11:03] wonder and astonishment worldwide. Brigadier General Mousavi
[00:11:07] emphasized: This conscious presence has showcased
[00:11:10] national rationality, high religious values,
[00:11:13] and the prominent Iranian national culture and civilization
[00:11:17] to the people of the world and has become
[00:11:20] a reliable and encouraging support for the warriors
[00:11:24] of Islam in all defensive strongholds of the country,
[00:11:28] especially in the Aerospace Force of the Revolutionary Guards,
[00:11:32] for the protection of the Islamic entity of proud Iran
[00:11:36] and the avenging of our martyred Imam. The commander
[00:11:39] of the Navy of the Revolutionary Guards said:
[00:11:43] The bravery of the warriors of Islam on the southern
[00:11:46] front and in the seas is indebted to your steadfastness
[00:11:50] and healthy presence, people of Iran.
[00:11:54] Rear Admiral Ali Azmaei said: Today,
[00:11:57] 20 days have passed since, in conjunction with your uprising, the Persian Gulf
[00:12:01] and the Strait of Hormuz have been cleansed of the sinister
[00:12:05] presence of the American terrorist army and the enemies of Islam,
[00:12:09] and the Strait of Hormuz is in the steel grip of the warriors
[00:12:12] of Islam. The commander of the Navy of the Revolutionary Guards warned
[00:12:16] that we will not release the throat of the global oppressors and will not
[00:12:20] allow their repeated and oppressive presence.
[00:12:23] Nightly gatherings
[00:13:22] this machine. Have patience and steadfastness,
[00:14:20] and you will see victory. The Iranian nation is much
[00:14:23] more than this.
[00:14:55] They stood by their beliefs. The best
[00:14:58] experience of unity from Kulhest says
[00:15:01] that the powerful Iranians recorded the epic of your presence
[00:15:05] night after night.
[00:15:07] Because God has truly united hearts. It's not our job.
[00:15:11] We come. If it takes
[00:15:15] 8,000 days, we'll come for our country, for our homeland.
[00:15:18] We, who have our plans for you,
[00:15:21] are not afraid
[00:15:37] of snow and rain. We are not afraid
[00:15:41] of God's blessings. We came under missiles. Now that it's God's
[00:15:45] blessing, until the new year, the people, bless
[00:15:48] them, even though it's the third day of Eid, they
[00:15:51] left their Eid visits and came here.
[00:15:55] You say you brought your happiness and celebrations
[00:15:59] to the square. This is Azadi
[00:16:01] Square.
[00:16:06] and also carried the burden of your sorrow to the field. I miss
[00:16:10] you.
[00:16:16] Believe me, I am more important than number one. I read "Mashallah"
[00:16:19] to the people constantly. If a gathering is just a reaction
[00:16:23] on the first day, it ends when the incident subsides.
[00:16:27] But when the presence reaches months, the continuity itself
[00:16:30] becomes a message. We love our country and we will
[00:16:34] be there until the end. Reza, my life for the homeland.
[00:16:47] The chosen nation completed the registration capacity
[00:16:51] of one thousand "Jan Fada" military
[00:16:54] relief battalions in less than 100 minutes. However, according to Mr. Sasan Zare,
[00:16:58] the registration window is still open. The chosen nation can
[00:17:02] participate in the "Jan Fada" military and relief training
[00:17:05] courses by sending
[00:17:10] a text message to the short code
[00:17:13] 3015. It was
[00:17:15] decided
[00:17:18] that the system should not be closed, but remain open for
[00:17:21] others who register late. They will be included in the reserve
[00:17:25] battalions, on a waiting list. God willing, we will serve
[00:17:29] them. If the necessary coordination is made with the armed forces
[00:17:32] and new capacity opens up, they will be placed in training
[00:17:35] and organization. These esteemed individuals who have
[00:17:39] registered and selected their training time and location
[00:17:43] on the website will be contacted in the next few days, starting
[00:17:47] from the beginning of the week, via the short code
[00:17:50] 92311 or "Jan Fada" mask.
[00:17:54] The details of the programs will be provided
[00:17:58] to them. The public relations of the Revolutionary
[00:18:02] Guards announced the destruction of three advanced
[00:18:05] American MQ-1 drones.
[00:18:09] These advanced drones were intercepted and destroyed by the fire of the new
[00:18:13] advanced air defense system of the Revolutionary Guards and under the control
[00:18:16] of the country's integrated air defense network in the skies
[00:18:20] of the Strait of Hormuz. So far, five
[00:18:22] MQ-1 drones of the American terrorist army
[00:18:26] have been destroyed in recent days
[00:18:29] by the fire of the new advanced air defense system of the Revolutionary
[00:18:33] Guards.
[00:18:36] The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council wrote on his personal
[00:18:39] social media page that until Iran's conditions are met,
[00:18:43] there will be no negotiations.
[00:18:47] General Rezaei, in this message, referring to Trump's contradictory
[00:18:50] messages, from "we will not negotiate" to "we are ready for dialogue,"
[00:18:54] wrote: Do not be distracted by these contradictory signals
[00:18:57] from the American president. The equations
[00:19:01] related to oil and the straits have changed.
[00:19:04] Struggling to contain the developments
[00:19:08] will not stop what is coming.
[00:19:10] Kepler
[00:19:13] maritime tracking company announced that
[00:19:17] yesterday only four ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:19:20] Reuters reported that this figure has decreased
[00:19:24] compared to Sunday, when 10 ships were recorded. After
[00:19:27] the military aggression of the US and the Zionist regime against Iran,
[00:19:31] ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined.
[00:19:35] Monday's figures recorded the lowest
[00:19:38] number in about a month. Before the war,
[00:19:42] approximately 125 large commercial ships
[00:19:44] passed through the Strait of Hormuz daily.
[00:19:48] The Saudi
[00:19:52] government announced that it has stopped
[00:19:56] oil loading from the port of Yanbu.
[00:19:59] This halt has exacerbated concerns about a reduction
[00:20:03] in global oil supply. A matter that, according
[00:20:07] to analysts, will lead to a further increase
[00:20:11] in oil prices.
[00:20:13] The other opportunity is gone. This is what the heads of US
[00:20:17] oil companies say. In an article published by the Wall Street Journal
[00:20:20] with the headline: The Great Fuel Crisis Has Arrived.
[00:20:24] It has been 6 months now since the Strait of Hormuz was closed
[00:20:28] by Iran in response to US aggression. During these six months,
[00:20:31] rising prices of oil and other energy carriers have severely
[00:20:35] disrupted the economies of the US and its allies.
[00:20:41] Gas is heading into winter in recent decades, as
[00:20:45] the Israel-US war against Iran imports gas.
[00:20:49] But the situation could have been much worse.
[00:20:53] This is what Mike Wirth, the head of Chevron, the third
[00:20:56] largest oil company in the world, said. According
[00:21:00] to Wirth, during these six months, various countries, and especially
[00:21:04] the US, by releasing strategic oil reserves,
[00:21:07] curbed some of the price shock in the market so that the price
[00:21:11] of oil would not go higher than it is. But he says
[00:21:14] these reserves are running out and can no longer
[00:21:18] be drawn upon. All these mechanisms helped
[00:21:22] us to curb the risk of rising prices and reduced supply.
[00:21:25] But now the power of these mechanisms is almost depleted.
[00:21:29] The signs of this crisis are gradually appearing.
[00:21:33] It has been 5 days now that the price of oil has not fallen
[00:21:36] below $100. However, the US government, which just a few months
[00:21:40] ago was pouring over 10 million barrels into the market every week
[00:21:44] to bring down oil prices, has only brought 400,000 barrels
[00:21:47] into the market in the last week. This is happening exactly at a time
[00:21:51] when Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline is also out of service,
[00:21:55] and millions of barrels have disappeared from the market. The situation of oil
[00:21:58] products is worse than that of oil itself. The price of gasoline in the US has increased
[00:22:02] by 44% compared to before the war, reaching an average of
[00:22:06] $4.31 per gallon, and diesel, the driving
[00:22:09] force of the world economy, is breaking records every day,
[00:22:13] with prices exceeding $10 per gallon at some US gas stations.
[00:22:17] In the meantime, Donald Trump, who can't do anything,
[00:22:21] has once again turned to the solution of blaming Biden. I hope
[00:22:24] everyone understands that the cause of rising prices in America
[00:22:28] was sleepy Joe Biden and his administration, not Trump. Mohammad Hassan Sadegh
[00:22:32] Zadeh, IRIB News Agency.
[00:22:33] The Deputy Head
[00:22:36] of the International Atomic Energy Agency considered
[00:22:39] Grossi's recent report to be the basis for an illegal
[00:22:43] resolution against Iran and warned that in a situation
[00:22:47] where the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and the Agency's
[00:22:50] Statute have been violated, the silence of countries cannot be a sign of neutrality.
[00:22:54] Mr. Kamalvandi said at the Agency's General
[00:22:57] Conference that the case against Iran's nuclear issue
[00:23:01] was built on false reports, and this action
[00:23:05] has paved the way for comprehensive sanctions, the assassination
[00:23:08] of scientists, and two wars. The Deputy Head of the International
[00:23:12] Atomic Energy Agency also criticized the Austrian government
[00:23:15] for not facilitating the presence of the high-level
[00:23:19] Iranian delegation at the Agency's General Conference.
[00:23:22] Under pressure from the US, he described Washington's hostile
[00:23:26] action as childish. Despite US obstruction,
[00:23:29] Iran became a member of the General Committee of the International
[00:23:33] Atomic Energy Agency. During
[00:23:36] this election process, the US delegation tried to prevent
[00:23:40] Iran's election by deviating from normal procedures.
[00:23:43] The Speaker of Parliament,
[00:23:51] in a message of condolence for the martyrdom of Mawlawi
[00:23:55] Yusuf Gorgij, to the honorable people of Sistan
[00:23:58] and Baluchestan, the Sunni community, and the entire Iranian
[00:24:02] nation, especially the esteemed family of the precious martyr,
[00:24:06] emphasized that the cowardly assassination of Mawlawi
[00:24:09] Yusuf Gorgij once again revealed
[00:24:12] the sinister face of the enemies of unity and security
[00:24:15] in this land. Mr. Qalibaf, in this message, stated
[00:24:20] that the pure blood of this zealous Sunni scholar, like the unjustly
[00:24:24] shed blood of martyr Mawlawi Mohammad Anwar Riggi,
[00:24:28] who was brutally killed some time ago,
[00:24:31] is another testament to the fact that safeguarding
[00:24:34] Iran and the unity of the nation transcends religious boundaries.
[00:24:37] He emphasized that enemies should know that with bullets
[00:24:41] and terror, they cannot silence the voice
[00:24:44] of unity, security, and patriotism, and this pure
[00:24:47] blood is not the end of a path, but rather
[00:24:51] the foundation and continuation
[00:24:54] of its greater strength.
[00:24:58] Inauguration of several electricity and water supply
[00:25:02] projects with the presence of the Minister of Energy in Shiraz.
[00:25:05] One of these projects was the first phase of the
[00:25:08] water transmission lines between the western and southern reservoirs
[00:25:12] of Shiraz, which was put into operation by Abbas Ali Abadi.
[00:25:15] The electricity project that the Minister of Energy inaugurated in Shiraz
[00:25:19] today was one of the 66 kilovolt power stations in Shiraz
[00:25:23] that was destroyed by two missiles on the first of Farvardin
[00:25:26] this year by the Zionist-American regime, whose target was
[00:25:30] to bomb non-military areas and infrastructure.
[00:25:33] One of the employees of the Fars Electricity Distribution
[00:25:37] Company was also martyred. Attacks on water and electricity
[00:25:40] in the world are considered war crimes because
[00:25:44] they belong to the people and are considered a direct attack
[00:25:47] on the people. The power
[00:25:50] supply to the western areas of Shiraz was restored in less
[00:25:53] than 40 minutes after this 66 kilovolt station was targeted.
[00:25:57] All of this was rebuilt very quickly and came online, and we prepared
[00:26:01] ourselves for a battle that he will not even imagine.
[00:26:04] This project was completed with 200 billion Tomans, and
[00:26:08] 11 solar power plants with a capacity of 32
[00:26:11] megawatts and an investment of 2820 billion
[00:26:15] Tomans in the cities of Shiraz, Kavar,
[00:26:18] Pasargad, and Kharame were put into operation.
[00:26:21] In total, we have 1,795
[00:26:23] billion Tomans in projects today that
[00:26:27] have either been inaugurated or whose executive operations have begun.
[00:26:31] In Shiraz, the first phase of the water pipelines
[00:26:34] between the western and southern reservoirs of the city
[00:26:38] was also inaugurated by the Minister of Energy. This water supply project
[00:26:41] was implemented with a credit of 1,372 billion Tomans.
[00:26:45] With the completion of this project, the first phase of which was inaugurated
[00:26:49] today, we can cover a larger population
[00:26:52] in case of any incidents in one of the lines.
[00:26:55] The water supply ring between the western and southern
[00:26:58] reservoirs of Shiraz is 132 kilometers long, and 70%
[00:27:02] of this water supply project has been implemented so far,
[00:27:06] and the rest is under implementation.
[00:27:09] In Shiraz, with the inauguration of the electricity and water
[00:27:12] supply project, stable electricity for 20,000 households
[00:27:15] and stable water for 600,000 subscribers have been provided.

[00:27:24] The head of the Food and Drug Organization announced
[00:27:28] the approval of several flights with the president's trip to this
[00:27:31] country for drug imports.
[00:27:35] The BRICS ambassadors' meeting is scheduled to be held
[00:27:39] at the Iran Pharma drug exhibition to open up channels for
[00:27:42] drug and raw material supply.
[00:27:44] The President, during
[00:27:47] his trip to India for the BRICS summit,
[00:27:50] personally followed up on the transportation
[00:27:54] and supply of some medicines
[00:27:57] from India. Fortunately, during this trip,
[00:28:00] we were able to
[00:28:03] import some of the goods that were in India through
[00:28:06] one or two flights. Fortunately, some of these
[00:28:10] raw materials and medicines have been
[00:28:13] imported.
[00:28:17] The Kalal Jolfa axis
[00:28:20] is a shortcut transit route that facilitates Iran's
[00:28:23] access to the markets of the Caucasus and Eurasia.
[00:28:27] This axis, with a length of 17 kilometers,
[00:28:31] is under construction in 3 sections.
[00:28:42] grand scheme, a part of the central corridor from North
[00:28:46] China to Europe passes through the territory of Azerbaijan and Iran,
[00:28:49] and in the regional view, the land connection of Nakhchivan
[00:28:53] to Azerbaijan through Iranian territory is the essence
[00:28:56] of the road. Jolfa Kalaleh
[00:28:59] is about trade, security, and Iran's presence
[00:29:03] in the Caucasus equations. A 17-kilometer route
[00:29:07] that is being implemented in three sections. Section one starts
[00:29:11] from the Jolfa Iron Bridge and continues to kilometer
[00:29:14] 37 of Siahroud. 380 structures have been considered
[00:29:17] along the project route, 150 of which have been completed.
[00:29:21] Here we are in one of the large feeding waterways
[00:29:24] of Aras, located at kilometer 24 of the road.
[00:29:28] The bridge has about 95% progress.
[00:29:32] Section two starts from Siahroud
[00:29:35] and extends to the border village of Qalan, kilometer 77.
[00:29:39] The most complex part of this section is the construction of the NNN
[00:29:42] Y tunnel, with a length of 725 meters, a height
[00:29:45] of 9 meters, and a width of 13.75 centimeters. These safety
[00:29:49] problems and the distance and difficulty of the pass
[00:29:52] have been completely solved. In the body of this project,
[00:29:56] about 20 tunnels with a length of 10 kilometers are under construction,
[00:29:59] 18 of which have become operational. The largest share of tunnels is also related to.
[00:30:12] In the final section of the route, the excavation and
[00:30:15] embankment for the Kalaleh terminal have been fully completed, and the
[00:30:19] Kalal-Aqband bridge has been finished.
[00:30:22] The project is about 40% complete overall.
[00:30:25] Connection to Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan,
[00:30:28] Armenia, and the Caucasus and Europe.
[00:30:32] These are among the most important advantages of implementing
[00:30:36] this project. A route that, by increasing Iran's transit
[00:30:40] revenues and completing international access routes
[00:30:44] for the province and the country, will transform the border
[00:30:47] from a periphery to a national power hub. The prerequisite
[00:30:50] for operating the Kalaleh terminal is the activation
[00:30:54] of this road. A road that, with timely and effective
[00:30:57] injection of financial Qurbani.
