[00:00:00] they gather in olive groves, and mostly they
[00:00:03] don't have any other income. This has been prevented. You just mentioned
[00:00:06] the issue of Kurds and Druze. The Kurds, well,
[00:00:10] this Qasd, or rather, the
[00:00:14] Kurdish paramilitary forces in northeast Syria,
[00:00:17] these have been disbanded. But do you think
[00:00:21] the issue of Kurds, Druze, and Alawites can still
[00:00:25] play a role in the Syrian crisis equations? Yes, this problem
[00:00:29] is still serious and has not been resolved. The Druze
[00:00:32] had conflicts with the Syrian General Security
[00:00:35] Forces a long time ago. Sheikh
[00:00:39] Hajari, one of the most prominent figures in the Druze community
[00:00:42] of Sweida, openly requested Israeli support, saying
[00:00:46] that they no longer trust the Syrian government. And Ahmad
[00:00:49] al-Sharaa and the Kurds have been imposed. The agreement with the Kurds has been
[00:00:53] imposed. Now the issue of female soldiers in the Syrian army has not
[00:00:57] yet been resolved. The Syrian army does not accept Kurdish women
[00:01:00] joining the army, because, well, many
[00:01:04] Kurdish women were in Kurdish paramilitary forces.
[00:01:08] They said they could join the Ministry of Interior's security forces, but
[00:01:11] not the army. We do not allow
[00:01:15] this. And there are also reports that
[00:01:19] Ahmad al-Sharaa is taking all the government's
[00:01:22] resources for the Syrian army and not spending
[00:01:25] on the economic situation and livelihoods of Syria.
[00:01:28] He wants a Syrian army.
[00:02:00] the battlefield in Yemen, something that Saudi Arabia
[00:02:04] is strongly pursuing. We heard
[00:02:07] contradictory statements in the past few hours. Well,
[00:02:10] the Turkish newspaper Tudei
[00:02:13] announced yesterday that the Syrian government, Ahmad al-Sharaa,
[00:02:16] rejected Saudi Arabia's request to send troops to Yemen
[00:02:19] and politely said that we do not have the capability
[00:02:23] or the power. Of course, this is what is being published by Turkish
[00:02:27] newspapers, and they say that the Turks have not played a role in this
[00:02:30] regard. But before these recent events in Yemen, many
[00:02:34] Syrians went to Yemen. Now, some of their ships have returned
[00:02:38] to Syria. This is the reason, and there are also videos
[00:02:41] of it. Of course, they themselves say that this was voluntary,
[00:02:44] meaning that there was no official request from the Syrian government. Anyone
[00:02:48] who wants to go to Yemen can go. This is the excuse or the words
[00:02:51] of the Syrian government. Of course, these Turkish newspapers say that the Turks did
[00:02:55] not allow it or have no role, because
[00:02:58] they saw that it had no result. They are ashamed and don't
[00:03:01] want to say that we did nothing. They want to say that we had
[00:03:05] no involvement in this matter. We did not agree.
[00:03:08] It seems that Syrian forces were in Yemen
[00:03:12] and participated. And these terrorist forces, many of whom were foreign,
[00:03:15] Uzbeks, and even some Syrians themselves, went there
[00:03:18] with Saudi money. But because they
[00:03:22] were not successful, it seems that everyone is now saying that
[00:03:26] we are no longer involved in this program or don't want to continue.
[00:04:47] As a result, the Israeli Air Force carried out a devastating attack and
[00:04:50] finished the job perfectly. All Hezbollah commanders were eliminated, and their infrastructure,
[00:04:54] ammunition, weapons, and missiles were targeted, causing complete
[00:04:58] devastation there. This caused widespread joy in
[00:05:02] Israel. They said the battle with Hezbollah was over and that they were out
[00:05:05] of the threat circle for many years. After two months
[00:05:09] of war, an agreement was made with Lebanon, and the settlers returned north
[00:05:13] after a year and a half of staying in hotels, believing
[00:05:16] that Hezbollah was defeated. But let's look at what is happening now. We
[00:05:20] fought Hezbollah, and all this time, I was the only one
[00:05:24] warning. It is true that Hezbollah was severely hit, but it was
[00:05:27] not defeated and can rebuild its forces. By the end
[00:05:31] of 2024, there was a strong belief that we
[00:05:35] had defeated Hezbollah, and government officials were happy. But where
[00:05:38] are we today? The Israeli government signed an agreement according to which it had
[00:05:42] to withdraw from all Lebanese territory because it believed
[00:05:46] Hezbollah was finished and no longer effective. But then
[00:05:50] in 2025, the Iranians rebuilt their forces
[00:05:53] and gained capabilities with thousands of missiles from the north.
[00:05:57] In February 2025, the war with Iran erupted, and Hezbollah
[00:06:01] supported it and dealt a severe blow to Israel. Now, after
[00:06:04] Hezbollah's actions, we will remain 8 kilometers south
[00:06:08] of Lebanon. Israeli forces have collapsed on their own and
[00:06:12] practically cannot protect the border. I tell you that it
[00:06:15] is a matter of time until Hezbollah returns to the gray line,
[00:06:19] and there is talk of it now. I want to say that the Israeli
[00:06:22] army had thousands of opportunities over the past years
[00:06:26] to increase its forces so that it could capture new territories
[00:06:30] and stay there and reach the Litani in southern Lebanon.
[00:06:33] The result is that today it does not have the ability to do so.
[00:06:37] The army is fragmented and small, and we have a huge chaos in it,
[00:06:40] and this is a strategic danger
[00:07:24] for us. Dear nation
[00:07:27] of Iran, you have done a great
[00:07:30] job. You have made Iran proud.
[00:07:34] You have supported the Islamic Republic,
[00:07:37] as always, and you have added to
[00:07:40] its power.
[00:07:43] The enemies who,
[00:07:47] in their statements and plans, seek
[00:07:51] the surrender of the Iranian
[00:07:54] nation have been disappointed, and Almighty
[00:07:57] God will reward such a
[00:08:01] presence and such
[00:08:05] a great movement to the nation,
[00:08:08] and its honor, power, and independence
[00:08:12] will be more complete, God
[00:08:15] willing.
[00:08:17] And peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
[00:10:57] In February 1989,
[00:11:01] Ayatollah Khamenei
[00:11:04] visited the former
[00:11:07] Yugoslavia. Since my late
[00:11:11] husband was both a simultaneous
[00:11:15] interpreter and a doctor of Persian
[00:11:18] language, he was engaged to be in
[00:11:21] the entourage for the entire few
[00:11:25] days when Ayatollah Khamenei was supposed
[00:11:28] to visit various
[00:11:31] parts of the former
[00:11:33] Yugoslavia.
[00:11:35] Since my late husband was also systematic
[00:11:39] in his documentation, I found
[00:11:43] newspaper clippings related to that visit
[00:11:46] that happened. I think
[00:11:49] the landing was in Belgrade at
[00:11:53] Belgrade Airport.
[00:11:55] And here I have an article published in
[00:11:59] Politika about how he landed
[00:12:03] in Belgrade, and here there
[00:12:06] is a picture of everyone who welcomed
[00:12:10] him, and my late husband is visible there.
[00:12:51] My late husband also saved clippings
[00:12:55] from newspapers that were published in Iran,
[00:12:59] related to this visit. Here
[00:13:03] is on it there are several
[00:13:06] pages, these are all clippings
[00:13:09] from newspapers that are in Iran,
[00:13:22] and here...
[00:14:08] So, it was not a visit
[00:14:11] that was related only
[00:14:13] to
[00:14:15] the top of the former Yugoslavia, but
[00:14:19] he also visited some factories
[00:14:22] and Energoinvest, which he visited then,
[00:14:25] which was very
[00:14:28] large. It was throughout the former Yugoslavia,
[00:14:32] but Energoinvest operated in other
[00:14:35] countries. Here we have when
[00:14:39] he landed at Sarajevo
[00:14:41] Airport,
[00:14:43] this is a picture from Sarajevo Airport.
[00:14:46] And since my
[00:14:49] late husband loved his students very
[00:14:53] much and the field he was
[00:14:55] involved in, he asked that
[00:14:59] during the visit, the faculty of Oriental
[00:15:02] Studies should also come.
[00:15:41] Almost from the late 19th century
[00:15:44] and early 20th
[00:15:47] century AD, activities in the field
[00:15:50] of translating Hafez's poems into the Bosnian
[00:15:54] language had begun. Three prominent
[00:15:57] Bosnian Iranologists, Safvet-beg Bašagić,
[00:16:01] Fehīm Bajraktarević, and Džavid
[00:16:04] Sulejmanpašić, made
[00:16:08] very significant
[00:16:10] contributions in this field
[00:16:13] and worked very
[00:16:17] hard. Unfortunately, the process
[00:16:21] of translating Hafez's
[00:16:24] poems into Bosnian
[00:16:28] was limited to a relatively
[00:16:31] small number of
[00:16:34] ghazals and occasionally quatrains.
[00:16:38] These were limited and confined.
[00:16:41] For this
[00:16:43] reason, this truly
[00:16:47] astonishing
[00:16:48] collection
[00:16:51] of Hafez's poems has largely
[00:16:55] remained unfamiliar to the
[00:16:58] scientific and cultural sphere of our country.
[00:17:01] It seems that the late Dr. Bašir
[00:17:05] Džaka, who began
[00:17:08] his academic and cultural activities in the mid-20th
[00:17:12] century AD,
[00:17:15] had realized this point,
[00:17:19] this point of
[00:17:21] the incompleteness of activities in the field
[00:17:24] of translating Hafez's poems into
[00:17:28] Bosnian. For this reason, he had
[00:17:31] decided to translate the complete
[00:17:35] Divan of Hafez into Bosnian.
[00:18:05] The work of the late Dr. Džaka
[00:18:09] in the field of translating the Divan of Hafez
[00:18:12] began approximately
[00:18:15] in the late 80s of the 20th
[00:18:18] century.
[00:18:21] According
[00:18:24] to eyewitness accounts and oral sources that we
[00:18:28] have received,
[00:18:30] the main motivation for starting
[00:18:33] this work was actually a meeting with the late
[00:18:39] related to that visit. On the last
[00:18:42] day of the visit,
[00:18:45] during this journey,
[00:18:48] the late Ayatollah Khamenei asked
[00:18:51] the professor if he was currently working on any
[00:18:55] translations of Persian language books. When
[00:18:58] the professor gave a negative
[00:19:00] answer,
[00:19:02] Ayatollah Khamenei presented him with a copy
[00:19:06] of Hafez's...
[00:19:37] had gifted it with
[00:19:40] a strong emphasis and a strong recommendation
[00:19:43] to translate the Divan of Hafez into
[00:19:46] Bosnian and to immortalize
[00:19:50] his name in the cultural arena forever.
[00:20:19] Immediately after Dr. Džaka
[00:20:22] started working on
[00:20:26] translating the Divan of Hafez into
[00:20:29] Bosnian, our country
[00:20:31] unfortunately faced a dual
[00:20:34] aggression from two neighboring countries.
[00:20:38] For this
[00:20:40] reason, naturally, there were no longer
[00:20:43] conditions to carry out this work
[00:20:46] or to pursue it. And these conditions were
[00:20:50] not available. The late Dr. Džaka
[00:20:54] had engaged in other work at that time,
[00:20:57] and for
[00:20:58] this reason,
[00:21:01] he was inevitably forced to stop translating the Divan of Hafez.
[00:21:38] This work, according to the information
[00:21:41] I have, was resumed only after
[00:21:44] the war ended. And
[00:21:47] this process and this procedure
[00:21:51] of translation continued for a few
[00:21:54] more years. When the war started, Dr. Džaka
[00:21:57] was one of the translators of the Iranian
[00:22:01] embassy, because he was the only one who knew Persian. He collaborated with
[00:22:04] a group of Iranian friends. He himself was in the war and helped
[00:22:08] friends in various places. After the war, in
[00:22:11] 1976, after the war ended,
[00:22:14] the Ibn Sina Institute was established. He came
[00:22:17] to the then director of the institute, whom we should remember, Dr. Reza
[00:22:21] Kalhor. He told him about the incident that had happened that year,
[00:22:25] and that he was translating the Divan. What should he do now?
[00:22:27] Finally, a contract was signed between the institute
[00:22:31] and Dr. Džaka, and he started and continued
[00:22:34] the translation of the Divan of Hafez. And this
[00:22:37] translation took several
[00:22:40] years, until finally, after
[00:22:44] he submitted the translation, it went to several
[00:22:47] poets in the Nasr region.
[00:23:09] a year and a half before the actual publication of the Divan, he passed away,
[00:23:12] and he himself was not
[00:23:15] present at the unveiling of the Divan, which was unveiled
[00:23:19] with the presence of his family.
[00:24:21] was the spread and promotion of Persian language
[00:24:24] and literature. For a president to have such presence
[00:24:26] of mind on such a trip, and for
[00:24:30] Persian language to be so important to him that he tells
[00:24:33] his translator and actually does this work, after all,
[00:24:37] it was his righteous spirit that made Dr. Džaka continue
[00:24:41] this work, and after 20 years, this translation
[00:24:44] was done and will remain.
[00:25:07] When he came, of course, he was very proud that
[00:25:11] he received this book, knowing what
[00:25:15] kind of person
[00:25:18] it was about, who he was. He knew well
[00:25:21] who Hafez
[00:25:24] Shirazi was and how significant
[00:25:27] this gift he received was and how great
[00:25:30] the responsibility was for him to work
[00:25:33] and to connect
[00:25:36] both Iranian culture and our
[00:25:40] culture.
[00:27:26] I am Zahra Ghafouri, a flag-bearer at Vali Square.
[00:27:30] I took the university entrance exam this year. God willing, let's see what happens.
[00:27:43] We came here to defend our country's
[00:27:46] flag because we love it and have pride
[00:27:50] in it. I am the guardian of this flag.
[00:27:52] Yes.
[00:27:58] All our people, when I personally sacrificed my life,
[00:28:02] when inside, I mean
[00:28:15] we wanted to defend our country against foreigners.
[00:28:19] No,
[00:28:27] sacrificing one's life knows no age. Why should
[00:28:31] it be about age at all?
[00:29:02] that they came here, there is no need for any explanation. It is obvious
[00:29:06] that they came for their love, for their country. These are the most
[00:29:10] honorable people of Iran. It is truly
[00:30:24] clear. A senior member of Yemen's Ansarullah movement
[00:30:28] emphasized that Yemen supports Iran against the US
[00:30:32] and will not back down from this despite pressures.
[00:30:35] Hamid Asam said, "We clearly state this. Yemen's positions are aligned
[00:30:39] with the axis of resistance, with which we identify ourselves
[00:30:43] and form a united front. No one can
[00:30:46] separate us and defeat us." He added, "We explicitly
[00:30:50] declare that the people and armed forces of Yemen are ready
[00:30:54] with all their might to stand with any Arab or Islamic
[00:30:57] country that faces military aggression."
