Thank you for continuing to watch the [00:00:36] news channel. The representative of the Supreme Leader visited Ayatollah [00:00:40] Al-Ozma Shabiri Zanjani, Hujjat [00:00:43] al-Islam wal-Muslimin Mohammadi Araqi, head of the [00:00:46] Supreme Leader's office in Qom, visited Ayatollah [00:00:49] Shabiri Zanjani in the hospital and [00:00:53] was informed of the latest medical procedures performed. [00:00:57] Ayatollah Al-Ozma Shabiri Zanjani, one of the [00:01:00] esteemed Marja's of Taqlid, was admitted to the ICU of [00:01:04] one of the Qom hospitals on Friday evening due to a [00:01:07] stomach hemorrhage and underwent treatment. According to [00:01:11] the office of Ayatollah Shabiri Zanjani, his general condition [00:01:15] is stable and the treatment process is progressing well, [00:01:18] and there is [00:01:20] no cause for concern. [00:01:24] The Speaker of Parliament emphasized that until Iran's conditions [00:01:27] are met, the Strait of Hormuz will not open. [00:01:30] Mr. Qalibaf, in his pre-agenda speech, [00:01:33] called the dichotomy of war or negotiation unrealistic and emphasized [00:01:37] that one must both fight and negotiate. He said: Our [00:01:41] logic in confronting the enemy is [00:01:44] intelligent advancement and the imposition of the will of the [00:01:48] Iranian nation. Today, in the field [00:01:52] of diplomacy, our positions are completely [00:01:55] clear, rational, and non-negotiable. [00:01:58] The message has been conveyed and our conditions [00:02:01] have been clarified to the other side through mediators. [00:02:05] The enemy knows well that the path [00:02:08] of deception and one-sided imposition is closed, and [00:02:12] until these conditions are met and [00:02:16] the legitimate rights of the Iranian nation are not [00:02:19] recognized and [00:02:21] the commitments of the Americans are not [00:02:25] fulfilled, there will be no opportunity [00:02:28] to return to the previous conditions of negotiation [00:02:32] and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. [00:02:35] The Speaker of Parliament also referred to [00:02:39] the coincidence of the new academic year with the Sacred Defense Week and said: [00:02:43] The classroom is a new stronghold of Sacred Defense [00:02:47] and one of the pillars of national deterrence. [00:02:51] The meaningful congruence of these [00:02:54] days with the first of Mehr and the reopening of schools [00:02:58] carries a strategic message [00:03:00] within it. The classroom is a [00:03:04] new stronghold of Sacred Defense and one of [00:03:07] the pillars of national deterrence. [00:03:10] The presence of Iranian students in the strongholds of education [00:03:14] and training keeps the flag of the nation's [00:03:17] steadfastness raised. We will not allow [00:03:20] the enemy's illusions to slow down [00:03:23] the pulse of life, production, [00:03:26] and knowledge of this land, because the unstoppable [00:03:30] dynamism of schools is a symbol [00:03:33] of the failure of the enemy's strategy [00:03:36] to portray a state of suspension. [00:03:40] 46 key programs of the Martyr [00:03:43] Foundation in the form of cultural and artistic programs during the [00:03:47] Sacred Defense period. The Deputy of Cultural [00:03:50] and Educational Affairs of the Martyr Foundation and Veterans Affairs announced this [00:03:53] news, reporting the cleaning of more than 20,000 martyrs' graves [00:03:57] and meetings with the families of the esteemed martyrs and [00:04:03] Sacred Defense veterans across the country. [00:04:06] The national program [00:04:09] of scattering flowers on the graves of martyrs will begin from the holy shrines of Imam [00:04:13] Reza and our martyred leader. We have [00:04:16] a national campaign in various fields, [00:04:20] including sports programs, tourism, [00:04:22] pilgrimage, and we will have [00:04:26] inaugurations. Artistic programs in various [00:04:30] sections, documentaries, short films, [00:04:33] and feature films have actually [00:04:36] been planned. [00:04:39] Foreign currency investment [00:04:42] funds are a tool to strengthen the value of the national currency. The Deputy Minister of Economic [00:04:46] Affairs and Finance, referring to the fact that foreign currency [00:04:49] investment funds, in addition to preserving the foreign currency [00:04:53] savings of natural and legal persons, will also provide foreign currency [00:04:57] resources for some domestic production companies, said: In [00:05:00] this way, the foreign currency assets of individuals are protected [00:05:04] in order to strengthen national production. [00:05:06] First, for our [00:05:09] investments, instead of putting pressure on the foreign [00:05:13] exchange market, we have used untouched foreign exchange [00:05:16] resources. Secondly, we have used [00:05:20] these untouched foreign exchange resources to strengthen the flow of production [00:05:23] and investment in the country. Strengthening the flow of [00:05:27] investment means increasing production, which means increasing employment, and [00:05:31] all of these mean strengthening the national [00:05:32] currency. [00:05:35] The seventh Caspian Environmental meeting with the presence of environment [00:05:39] ministers from the littoral states of this lake began today [00:05:42] in Tehran and continues until the first of Mehr. The seventh meeting, [00:05:46] after several years of hiatus and with Iran's follow-up, will be held, [00:05:49] and during this period, a regional [00:05:53] action plan for controlling and adapting to the challenges of the Caspian Sea [00:05:56] is expected to be [00:05:57] approved. [00:06:00] Generations have built memories with its [00:06:03] roads, forests, and coasts. It's [00:06:06] Iranian, it's the Caspian Sea, it's the [00:06:09] north. But what is memorable for travelers is [00:06:13] life and livelihood for many people [00:06:16] here. I am both a fisherman and a diver. [00:06:19] All our bread comes from this. The world's largest [00:06:22] lake is now grappling with several serious challenges. [00:06:25] From pollution, untreated wastewater [00:06:29] that has been discharged into the sea for years, to the decrease in water [00:06:33] levels and coastline retreat. The annual average [00:06:36] decrease in the Caspian Sea level [00:06:39] has reached about 20 centimeters. The role of human activities [00:06:43] might be around 15 to 20 percent, and 70 to [00:06:47] 80 percent is due to climate change and increased [00:06:51] evaporation. In addition to climate change, [00:06:54] human activities in the five littoral states of the Caspian Sea [00:06:58] have put the biodiversity of the lake at greater [00:07:01] risk than ever before. The Caspian seal has experienced [00:07:04] a population decrease of about 60 to 70 [00:07:08] percent in the last 30 years. Sturgeon fish perhaps. [00:07:17] But the challenges of the Caspian Sea know no borders, and solving them [00:07:21] requires the joint cooperation of the littoral states of this sea. [00:07:25] We need shared data, scientific [00:07:28] studies, coordinated monitoring, information [00:07:31] exchange, and finally, joint decisions. [00:07:34] Now, after several years of hiatus and with Iran's follow-up, [00:07:38] the Caspian Sea Environmental Convention is going to be [00:07:42] held in Tehran. Since the beginning of [00:07:45] the new government's establishment, one of the important issues [00:07:49] in our environmental diplomacy was reaching the point [00:07:53] of reconvening the Conference of Parties. In the [00:07:56] seventh meeting of the Caspian Environmental Convention, a regional [00:08:00] action plan will be presented. From 2026 [00:08:03] to 2030, a comprehensive framework for [00:08:06] strengthening regional cooperation, as well as [00:08:09] enhancing knowledge and developing solutions for [00:08:19] the Caspian Sea is not just a shared body of water; the lives of millions of people in these five countries are tied to its [00:08:23] survival, looking to this sea and this [00:08:26] coast. Saeed Hajizadeh, IRIB News Agency. [00:08:29] Continuing the news, [00:08:31] the support of the people [00:08:34] of Al-Mukha in Yemen for the people of Palestine. A large number [00:08:37] of people from Al-Mukha participated in a widespread demonstration, [00:08:41] expressing support for the oppressed people of Palestine [00:08:45] and condemning the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza. [00:08:47] The UN Special Rapporteur [00:08:51] on human rights in the occupied territories compared the killing of thousands of [00:08:55] children in Gaza to the actions of the Nazis [00:08:58] during the Holocaust. Francesca Albanese, regarding [00:09:02] the killing of children in Gaza by the Zionist [00:09:05] regime and the excuse of becoming a terrorist in adulthood, said: This [00:09:09] was the same argument that the Nazis used to justify [00:09:13] the killing of children during the Holocaust. [00:09:16] The governmental information office in Gaza announced [00:09:19] last month that since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip [00:09:22] in October 2023, the Zionist regime [00:09:26] has martyred more than [00:09:29] 215 children. [00:09:30] And [00:09:34] Zionist regime fighter jets targeted various areas of southern Lebanon [00:09:37] with airstrikes. According to news sources, [00:09:41] the town of Kfartibnit in southern [00:09:44] Lebanon was targeted by an airstrike. At the same time, [00:09:48] Zionist regime fighter jets bombed the town of Nabati [00:09:51] Al-Fawqa three times. Lebanese media [00:09:54] also reported an airstrike by the Zionist regime in the Wadi [00:09:57] Salouqi region in southern Lebanon. [00:10:00] Yesterday, the Zionist regime's army, in continuation [00:10:03] of repeated violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon, targeted areas including the town [00:10:07] of Kfartibnit, the town of Al-Mansouri, the city [00:10:11] of Nabatieh, and the town of Nabatieh Al-Fawqa [00:10:14] in southern Lebanon. [00:10:16] Thank you [00:10:19] very much for joining us. Have a good day. [00:10:21] Goodbye. [00:10:44] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello to you, welcome to the special [00:10:48] program "Battle of Hormuz." In this part of the program, we will take a look at [00:10:51] the latest developments related to the war, and of course, we will [00:10:55] examine the situation of the Strait of Hormuz. We will also [00:10:59] talk about resilience in the economic war that the Americans have waged [00:11:02] against the Iranian nation. Here in our studio, we have [00:11:05] Dr. Hajibabaei, the esteemed Deputy Speaker of the Islamic Consultative [00:11:09] Assembly. Dr., I greet you, welcome. In the [00:11:12] name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most [00:11:15] Merciful. [00:11:17] First, [00:11:20] I congratulate the Sacred Defense Week [00:11:23] to all the great nation [00:11:25] of Iran and the esteemed families of the martyrs. [00:11:29] I also congratulate the birth of Imam [00:11:32] Askari to the Iranian nation, [00:11:36] as well as the reopening of schools and universities, [00:11:40] which is considered the spring of education and [00:11:43] training, and God willing, it will create a vibrant [00:11:46] and lively atmosphere in the country. I would like to thank all dear educators, [00:11:50] teachers, university professors, students, [00:11:52] and seminaries. [00:11:58] Thank you very much, Dr. If you agree, let's start the discussion [00:12:02] with the topic of reopening schools. Considering that [00:12:05] we are in a state of war, what role can schools play? [00:12:09] Look, [00:12:12] the opening of schools is a symbol [00:12:14] of life, a symbol of security, [00:12:18] a symbol of knowledge, education, and training, [00:12:22] and consciousness, and the [00:12:26] joy of life. Honestly, when schools and universities [00:12:29] reopen, one feels that a new [00:12:32] life has begun. Of course, all security [00:12:36] measures must be taken, which the officials [00:12:39] are certainly doing, and the Ministry of [00:12:42] Education and the Ministry of Science are making [00:12:45] great efforts to provide a very good year for [00:12:49] students, for which I would like to thank [00:12:53] and appreciate the efforts being made. [00:12:56] If war is to be defined, [00:12:59] if peace is to be defined, if the country [00:13:03] is to be defined, the first priority is [00:13:06] at the university and school. [00:13:09] That's where we need to explain the realities [00:13:13] of life, the realities of the country, and the realities [00:13:17] of what is happening there to students and [00:13:21] families. It creates an international [00:13:25] authority. A country that is at [00:13:28] war, the school and university are [00:13:31] symbols of life and symbols of [00:13:34] society. [00:13:36] In fact, they should be present, and the education system [00:13:39] should have its own form. God willing, Dr. [00:13:43] If you agree, let's start with the situation of the [00:13:47] Strait of Hormuz, where many Western media, especially [00:13:50] American media, in addition to American officials, are making [00:13:54] claims about the openness of the Strait [00:13:58] of Hormuz, which many media and [00:14:01] media activists deny. The data being published [00:14:05] by reputable sites shows that the [00:14:08] Strait of Hormuz is closed. Basically, [00:14:12] let's have an update on the latest situation [00:14:15] of the Strait of Hormuz and what goals the enemy [00:14:19] is pursuing with this psychological warfare regarding the Strait [00:14:22] of Hormuz. You see, [00:14:25] Hormuz today is a symbol [00:14:28] of power, initiative, and the victory of the Iranian [00:14:32] nation, and on the other hand, it is a symbol [00:14:35] of the defeat, retreat, [00:14:39] and weakness of the American [00:14:42] armed forces, who could not [00:14:45] actually fulfill their claim that they would not [00:14:49] allow the Strait of Hormuz to be closed, and they [00:14:53] were actually forced to agree. Those who [00:14:57] came to overthrow saw that they could not [00:15:00] overthrow, so they entered another scene. They came [00:15:04] and made an agreement, and then they broke [00:15:07] the agreement. These are the stages that we know [00:15:10] from America. In fact, the American system [00:15:14] is based on news and, in fact, virtual [00:15:17] space and lies and advertising tricks. [00:15:21] That's clear, but what I want to say here [00:15:25] is that the Strait of Hormuz actually [00:15:29] has what kind of use for us? It's not an economic [00:15:31] use. It's a strategic use. It is this [00:15:35] Strait of Hormuz that gives the Iranian [00:15:39] nation this security, this initiative, not [00:15:42] to allow our enemy, [00:15:45] America, to pressure our nation. The essence [00:15:48] of this Strait of Hormuz is that we do not allow [00:15:52] them to bully us. We do not allow them to cut off our oil. [00:15:56] We do not allow them to sanction us. We do not allow [00:15:59] them to affect the livelihood of the people and target [00:16:03] the livelihood of the people. On the other hand, [00:16:06] America uses all its power to ensure [00:16:09] that the Strait of Hormuz is not in our [00:16:12] control. If it is, it should [00:16:16] be weakened as much as possible. If [00:16:19] I remember correctly, about a month and a half ago, in this [00:16:23] very program or a discussion program, I said that for [00:16:26] the first time, we must besiege America's economic [00:16:29] blockade. That is, the Strait of Hormuz is [00:16:32] currently in our control. We are protecting it with [00:16:36] all our might. But America also uses its [00:16:40] it has, after all, it's technology. It [00:16:42] can use technology, for example, to secretly pass a [00:16:46] ship in any way or use guidance. [00:16:50] After all, it might exist. This is one [00:16:53] type of action to reduce the importance [00:16:57] of the Strait of Hormuz. It means to reduce [00:17:00] the pressure, the pressure factor of the Islamic Republic. [00:17:03] The next point is the use of [00:17:06] the capabilities of the regional countries. [00:17:09] That is, they should use alternative [00:17:13] routes to the Strait of Hormuz. Instead [00:17:16] of oil and gas passing through the Strait of Hormuz [00:17:20] by ships, a transit line has been built in [00:17:23] a certain country to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, [00:17:27] which has, incidentally, been targeted. Yes, why is this [00:17:31] happening? So, you see, America has used [00:17:34] all its power to make the Strait of Hormuz unimportant [00:17:38] if it cannot free it. We have [00:17:41] used all our power to maintain the Strait [00:17:45] of Hormuz and keep it strong and important. [00:17:49] The main conflict is here. [00:17:52] He does everything to make it insignificant. Now that he cannot [00:17:56] attack, he said we will launch a military attack and liberate it. He [00:17:59] is trying to create a consensus in the world to attack [00:18:03] and liberate it, but he couldn't. Then they said [00:18:06] that if possible, they would capture [00:18:09] the three islands. One of their supporters said that and remained silent, seeing that [00:18:12] it's not a place to enter. So now they are using [00:18:16] virtual space for advertising companies, from your presence, [00:18:19] they are using the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz, [00:18:23] from techniques and behavior and guidance and various [00:18:26] issues, and actually making ships invisible [00:18:30] and turning off I don't know, the alarm, whatever [00:18:34] it is, to somehow reduce its importance to zero. [00:18:37] Whatever the armed forces say is true. They can actually [00:18:41] bypass the northern part of the Strait of Hormuz. The next point [00:18:45] is to use countries and define [00:18:48] routes that can bypass it. The third point [00:18:52] is ship-to-ship transfers, meaning they see ships differently [00:18:55] with different flags. This ship unloads into that [00:18:59] ship, and that ship delivers oil to that other ship [00:19:02] to bypass the Strait. All of this is being done [00:19:06] to, in their imagination, make part of the Strait [00:19:09] of Hormuz insignificant or reduce its [00:19:12] impact. That is why today the Strait [00:19:15] of Hormuz is a symbol of our power, [00:19:18] and the war is completely about energy. That is, what [00:19:22] can actually force America to retreat, [00:19:25] force Europe to retreat, is energy. [00:19:28] Energy whose price must increase rapidly. [00:19:32] Its exports from the Sea of Oman and the Persian [00:19:35] Gulf and within this area should be limited [00:19:39] and blockaded. America's blockade must [00:19:43] be completely ineffective, because America's blockade has two effects: one [00:19:47] is that we cannot export oil, we cannot import [00:19:50] spare parts, and it puts pressure on us. On the other hand, it allows [00:19:54] others to easily pass, pass secretly, guide [00:19:58] them, support them, do ship-to-ship transfers, [00:20:02] implement routes, all these things are done by [00:20:05] them. Well, now to do this, we must [00:20:09] actually blockade these routes. Yes, Yemen is doing [00:20:13] that. It is an independent country. It is doing it. [00:20:16] That is, it is hitting the bullseye. That is, [00:20:20] Yemen is doing something that, based on this [00:20:23] action, will besiege America's blockade. That is, [00:20:27] it is attacking a country that, with all its power [00:20:30] and might, is helping America to bypass [00:20:34] the Strait of Hormuz. It is helping a country [00:20:38] that can reduce the influence of the Islamic Republic [00:20:42] and make the Islamic Republic passive. So, in summary, [00:20:46] any activity that actually [00:20:49] diminishes the importance of the Strait of Hormuz or [00:20:53] bypasses it is a war against [00:20:55] the Islamic Republic, and this is helping America. [00:20:59] And these are actually the goals of the Islamic Republic [00:21:03] and the goals of the resistance and the goals of the nations. [00:21:07] They must be fought against. If the regional countries [00:21:11] also genuinely have good intentions towards the region [00:21:15] and want to see the region without America [00:21:19] and without war and with security, the solution [00:21:22] is not to help America. All [00:21:25] this damage to themselves. We are now seeing [00:21:29] that the regional countries are suffering from a lack of [00:21:32] security and political and economic identity. [00:21:35] In terms of security, it's unclear who should protect them. [00:21:38] Politically, it means they no longer know who [00:21:42] their support is. They are not dependent on their own people. [00:21:46] Now they must either be dependent on America or on the resistance. [00:22:10] And they should decide as soon as possible that the Strait of Hormuz [00:22:14] has become a symbol of power, a symbol [00:22:17] of our pressure on our dear people. [00:22:20] Without [00:22:23] America, even now, it is thinking and [00:22:26] one of its latest plans is to create discord [00:22:30] among the people and widespread unrest [00:22:33] through economic blockade, by making the Strait of Hormuz less important [00:22:37] and imposing heavy economic pressures within the country. [00:22:41] It is pursuing this. This is where the [00:22:44] presence of the people, the resilience of the people, [00:22:48] the power of the people, despite all [00:22:52] the disarray, or lack of attention, or [00:22:55] sometimes issues that completely bother the people, [00:22:59] exists. The people have fully understood this. The movement [00:23:03] of hundreds of thousands of martyrs' devotees in Tehran [00:23:06] was a symbol of power that would fill this void. [00:23:10] That is, America was looking for a plan because [00:23:14] it thought it could create discord in our streets, [00:23:17] and replace the martyrs' devotees with those who it [00:23:24] thought, with an initial presence in [00:23:28] Tehran, the people's presence was so vast [00:23:31] and widespread and had such an impact on the [00:23:35] world that he understood that if this happened [00:23:38] in the country, 30 million people would show up. [00:23:42] Their presence is not like ours, officials, [00:23:46] who need special consideration or to be addressed. [00:23:50] They speak rationally, they speak as Muslims, [00:23:53] they speak powerfully, and all our officials [00:23:57] are completely alert and understand that the [00:24:00] last word belongs to the Leader and these people. So, [00:24:04] therefore, we must align ourselves with the people, [00:24:07] align ourselves with the Leader, with complete rationality. [00:24:11] The public conscience of our society shows us this today. [00:24:15] One point that is raised and widely discussed [00:24:19] is the issue of resilience, which in the psychological [00:24:22] warfare waged against the Iranian nation, is more [00:24:26] about the psychological operation that the enemy [00:24:30] is pursuing than the actual impact of these sanctions [00:24:33] and economic war. After all, over these 47 [00:24:37] years, many oppressive sanctions have been imposed [00:24:40] against the Iranian nation, but this time, a naval [00:24:44] blockade has also been added, and there is a lot of media discussion [00:24:48] about this issue, while there is no mention [00:24:51] of our economic leverage against the enemy society. [00:24:55] Regarding the price of fuel and gas, even American [00:24:59] media are now pointing out that it has increased by [00:25:02] 60% since the beginning of the war in America. [00:25:06] Please tell us about this psychological operation as well. Look, [00:25:10] the most important element that can [00:25:13] be effective in a conflict [00:25:17] between two or more countries, or in [00:25:21] a global or international war, is the type [00:25:24] of information dissemination. Information dissemination [00:25:27] is what the Quran refers to as "murjif." [00:25:31] Murjif means stressful news, [00:25:34] false news, polluted news, any news that can [00:25:38] create public anxiety or weaken a nation. This [00:25:42] is called "irjaf" (spreading false news) in the news. [00:25:45] So America is using this with all its might. [00:25:49] For example, this glass is in front of me. [00:25:51] Everyone sees it and says it's not there. [00:25:55] It doesn't matter to them whether you say it's lying or not. [00:25:58] They think that if you say this, there are also some people inside [00:26:13] the country. We were able to break America's international consensus. [00:26:16] Whatever it did, it couldn't create a consensus to attack [00:26:20] Iran. This, in fact, includes bilateral [00:26:24] and trilateral agreements, and these are just words. [00:26:27] We saw that none of them can be operationalized. [00:26:31] There is a man of war. [00:26:33] A hundred thousand. That is, the group living [00:26:37] in Yemen doesn't even think about what America is saying, [00:26:41] how many planes it has, how many agreements have been signed. [00:26:45] They don't pay attention to any of these. Therefore, we must be [00:26:48] careful inside the country about news fabrication [00:26:51] and the kind of news that comes into the country. We must [00:26:55] preserve the unity of the nation around the axis [00:26:58] of Velayat (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) and enmity with America. [00:27:01] God willing, success will be ours.
