[00:00:18] Based on your military background, my first question is about [00:00:22] the military buildup in the Strait of Hormuz [00:00:25] and especially the Persian Gulf. The US has claimed through various [00:00:29] reports that it might launch an attack [00:00:33] against the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, the figures [00:00:36] mentioned regarding the number of forces needed for such [00:00:39] an operation do not align with existing estimates. [00:00:43] For example, regarding what is necessary for a ground [00:00:47] operation. I would like to know your assessment. Your opinion [00:00:50] on the increase in US military equipment and capabilities, [00:00:54] as well as the possible deployment of its forces [00:00:57] to the region for a potential attack on Iran. [00:01:01] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. [00:01:04] An American attack on Iran [00:01:07] is one of the most foolish wars in human history. [00:01:11] A cruel [00:01:12] war [00:01:17] with much evil, [00:01:20] inhuman, [00:01:21] and [00:01:25] against Iran took place. [00:01:28] The Trump administration, [00:01:31] blindly, gave [00:01:34] its vision to Netanyahu, [00:01:36] and [00:01:40] with their ignorant Secretary of Defense, [00:01:43] Mr. Haxton, and [00:01:46] also their Secretary of State, who [00:01:50] had confused the position of Secretary of State with that [00:01:54] of the FBI, without a precise assessment, [00:01:57] without precise calculations, [00:02:01] they entered a war with Iran and thought that in [00:02:04] a short time, they could actually [00:02:07] end the war and Mr. Trump [00:02:11] would be known as one of the great heroes of American history, [00:02:14] and his name would be written in history. [00:02:18] Now, with the same foolishness, they cannot [00:02:21] get out of the war, and [00:02:25] it requires the wise men of America [00:02:28] to come and take their hands [00:02:31] and get them out of the war. Otherwise, the foolishness [00:02:34] they have, this foolishness will not allow them [00:02:38] to get out of the war properly. [00:02:40] Of course, for the war, [00:02:44] from the very beginning, [00:02:47] we had calculations. We managed [00:02:51] the war correctly. [00:02:53] We thought that in proportion [00:02:57] to the progress of the war, [00:03:01] we would arrange our war formation. [00:03:05] For example, in the 12-day war, we [00:03:08] only showed a very small part of our capabilities. [00:03:12] Therefore, we did not use many of our resources in those 12 [00:03:16] days. We tried [00:03:19] to, as the war escalated by [00:03:23] the US, we would actually intensify it [00:03:26] even more. In the 40-day war, [00:03:30] it was different. We brought [00:03:33] many more resources to the scene [00:03:36] and used them. Today, we [00:03:39] are fully prepared that if the war starts [00:03:42] again, [00:03:44] we will bring new resources into the scene. [00:03:48] In the region, we actually [00:03:51] strike the pulse of the American [00:03:55] economy. That is, in [00:03:58] America, there are very expensive [00:04:01] facilities in the Emirates, in the Strait of Hormuz. [00:04:05] We had not yet included this in our targets, [00:04:08] but if there is a war, many [00:04:12] of these cables and data centers, [00:04:16] intelligence centers, and many other [00:04:18] places that are not even calculable [00:04:22] in terms of dollar values, these are worth more than [00:04:26] 2 trillion dollars. The value of these [00:04:30] and data centers and artificial intelligence centers [00:04:34] is that because they consume a lot of energy, from [00:04:37] the US and Europe, they have actually placed them here. [00:04:41] Therefore, from the beginning, we did not do anything [00:04:45] that would reveal all our resources in the first week, [00:04:48] leaving our hands empty afterwards. [00:04:51] Therefore, today, we will definitely, if there is [00:04:55] to be a conflict, face the enemy [00:04:58] with a much broader [00:05:00] plan. But on the contrary, [00:05:03] the enemy suffered a heavy defeat in the first [00:05:06] 12 days, then a heavy defeat in the 40-day [00:05:10] war. Then they entered naval blockade issues. [00:05:13] It did not succeed. Recently, they have started [00:05:17] an economic warfare blockade. That is, almost [00:05:21] every new attack they have launched has failed. [00:05:24] But we were in our place with a plan, [00:05:27] and with precise calculations, we neutralized their attacks. [00:05:31] Today, our readiness is complete, [00:05:35] that we are ready to defend ourselves. [00:05:38] Well, when we talk about defeat, [00:05:41] this is exactly what happened to America, especially [00:05:45] given that American forces actually left Iraq [00:05:48] after decades of presence. How did America [00:05:52] fail, and why is this considered [00:05:55] a major defeat? [00:05:57] Yes, a very important event [00:05:59] took place in Iraq. The Americans, [00:06:02] with more than 150,000 [00:06:05] troops, [00:06:07] attacked Iraq. And [00:06:11] according to them, [00:06:15] they occupied Iraq [00:06:18] as a golden gem, a valuable diamond. [00:06:21] But the proud [00:06:22] Iraqi [00:06:25] nation, [00:06:27] the religious authority, and the zealous [00:06:31] Iraqi youth came onto the scene, [00:06:34] both politically and in terms [00:06:38] of defense and military, [00:06:43] they were able to force the Americans [00:06:46] to retreat moment by moment. Then the Americans [00:06:49] came and wanted to enter Baghdad [00:06:53] through ISIS. Our dear [00:06:56] brother, Martyr Qasem [00:06:59] Soleimani, and Engineer al-Muhandis, [00:07:02] together prevented ISIS from entering Baghdad. [00:07:06] The Americans, seeing that [00:07:09] ISIS had been defeated, then attacked [00:07:12] ISIS to say that [00:07:16] no, we were not with ISIS, which Mr. Trump [00:07:20] himself, in his election campaign, [00:07:23] told Mrs. Clinton that you created [00:07:26] ISIS. You created ISIS. [00:07:29] The resistance front was formed. Eight [00:07:32] Popular Mobilization Units were formed, and they pushed back [00:07:36] ISIS, and the Americans [00:07:39] had brought many forces into Iraq. [00:07:42] They started attacking them too, [00:07:45] and recently, [00:07:48] in this 40-day war, [00:07:51] the Americans' time [00:07:55] to stay in Iraq had ended. The resistance [00:07:58] front started operating against the Americans, [00:08:00] asking why they were not leaving and getting out [00:08:03] of Iraq. According to the Pentagon, [00:08:07] 600 attacks were carried out against them. [00:08:11] But our reports show that more than [00:08:14] 1500 projectiles were launched by the resistance front [00:08:18] against America. The Americans first went from Baghdad [00:08:21] to Erbil, then they were attacked there, [00:08:24] and from there they were forced [00:08:26] to be expelled. After the US withdrawal, [00:08:30] the expulsion of the Americans from Afghanistan, [00:08:33] this was a very great victory. [00:08:37] It showed that the era of military [00:08:41] attacks by America on countries and their deployment [00:08:45] there, and taking over the political affairs [00:08:48] of countries, has ended. In this [00:08:51] war that we are currently fighting with the Americans, [00:08:55] and they have reached a deadlock, [00:08:58] more than this expulsion of the Americans is important. [00:09:02] Why? Because this expulsion [00:09:06] happened because they did not succeed in Iran. If they had succeeded [00:09:09] in Iran, they would have brought another 40-50,000 [00:09:12] troops into Baghdad and dissolved this entire [00:09:16] government and parliament, and created a dictatorship [00:09:19] similar to Saddam, from Ba'athists [00:09:22] and American ISIS. The situation would have been [00:09:26] different. But because the American attack on Iran [00:09:30] failed, and on the other hand, the resistance front [00:09:33] also stood against them inside Iraq, [00:09:37] they had no choice but to leave Iraq. [00:09:41] We congratulate this victory to the Iraqi nation, [00:09:44] to the religious authority, and to the resistance [00:09:47] forces. Of course, the revenues [00:09:50] of the Iraqi people are still in the hands of America. [00:09:54] The sky [00:09:57] of Iraq is in the hands of America. The flights [00:10:00] from Iran to there, which they cut off, indicate [00:10:04] that the Americans, although they withdrew [00:10:07] their ground forces from Iraq, [00:10:11] the Iraqi economy and America's [00:10:15] interventions in Iraq are still [00:10:18] carried out by America. Let's [00:10:21] go to the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. The story [00:10:40] where the Roman Emperor knelt before Shapur I, the Sasanian [00:10:44] king? Do you believe that America will also [00:10:48] truly suffer a similar fate? [00:10:50] We are dealing [00:10:56] with an ignorant [00:10:58] and foolish [00:11:00] group in America that has neither read history [00:11:04] nor knows the Iranian nation, [00:11:07] and a special situation [00:11:11] has arisen. I tell Mr. Rubio [00:11:15] that people greater [00:11:18] than you have wished many times to come [00:11:22] to Iran over several [00:11:26] thousand years. They wished [00:11:29] to come and enter Iran, to capture [00:11:33] Iran and destroy the Iranian nation. [00:11:36] The Iranian nation defeated all of them, [00:11:39] and their names are not in history now. [00:11:42] But the Iranian nation is in history, [00:11:45] and I explicitly [00:11:49] state that the more you make [00:11:53] these efforts, the more you will sink [00:11:55] into the quagmire, and there will be no other result. [00:11:59] And once again, yes, [00:12:02] you referred to history. Our history [00:12:06] has many good stories for you. Once [00:12:10] again, you will be forced to kneel before [00:12:13] the Iranian nation and increase [00:12:17] the greatness of the Iranian nation many [00:12:19] times over. What were your intentions [00:12:22] in Iran? What did you do at the beginning of the revolution? [00:12:26] Our Imam ordered an army of 20 million, [00:12:30] but in your attack on Iran, [00:12:32] 30 million self-sacrificers registered [00:12:36] who are ready to take up arms [00:12:39] and stand against you. You did this. [00:12:42] This is your victory. If you want [00:12:46] us to say where you succeeded, it is that [00:12:50] you have 30 million self-sacrificers who registered [00:12:53] and are ready to take up arms and stand against you. [00:12:57] This is the product of your work. You do not know [00:13:01] the Iranian nation. The Iranian nation is not one [00:13:04] to surrender. It makes others surrender to it, [00:13:08] but it will not surrender to you, [00:13:11] and until it takes all its rights from [00:13:15] you, it will in no way give up on you. [00:13:18] It seems [00:13:22] that the issue of surrender is something that America [00:13:26] always demands from Iran, from Donald Trump, the US [00:13:29] President, to Scott Vincent, the country's [00:13:33] Treasury Secretary. In response to Mr. Vincent's remarks, [00:13:36] you also said that America failed in the military war [00:13:40] and will also fail in the economic war. This is while [00:13:43] he wants to destroy Iran's economy. [00:13:47] You also described some of his statements [00:13:50] as wishful thinking. Mr. Vincent [00:13:58] is known in America as [00:14:01] the lying minister, because for more [00:14:05] than a year, everything he has said and every promise [00:14:08] he has made, he has not been able to fulfill. For example, [00:14:11] at first, in February [00:14:15] 2025, he announced that [00:14:19] he would unfreeze the housing market in America. It got worse. [00:14:22] The housing market became more frozen. Then [00:14:26] he said that he would bring inflation down [00:14:29] and reduce it. Inflation increased. [00:14:32] Then he said that he would lower the interest rate [00:14:36] on US bonds. It went from 1% [00:14:39] to 5%. That is, despite having [00:14:42] the American economy at his disposal, he is the Treasury [00:14:46] Secretary. Fiscal policies are [00:14:48] at his disposal. Now, because [00:14:52] he is facing a budget deficit [00:14:55] to pay the salaries of American employees and soldiers, [00:14:59] he is constantly printing and selling bonds [00:15:02] to collect money from the market and pay the employees' salaries. [00:15:06] Now he has come and wants to confront [00:15:09] the Iranian nation, the livelihoods of the Iranian nation. [00:15:13] I am sure that he will suffer [00:15:16] a heavy defeat. Just as they failed [00:15:20] in the military war, we will also defeat [00:15:24] them in the economic war. And we have prepared [00:15:27] our plans. God willing, soon, we will announce [00:15:31] plans for economic defense. [00:15:34] Most likely, an economic war council. [00:15:51] What is an economic war, and where [00:15:54] are you in this war? We cannot [00:15:58] conclude this conversation without addressing the issue [00:16:01] of Palestine. We know that the third anniversary [00:16:05] of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th [00:16:08] has recently passed, which holds a special place in history, [00:16:11] especially in terms of its impact on the West Asia region. [00:16:14] What lessons can be learned from this event, and how did this operation [00:16:18] clearly reveal the genocidal nature of the Israeli regime? [00:16:22] The discussion about October [00:16:25] 7th, well, [00:16:28] Hamas fighters had arranged [00:16:31] it to liberate their prisoners. [00:16:35] And a month ago, [00:16:39] in a message that has now been released, a case has been filed [00:16:42] against Netanyahu for his negligence [00:16:46] in relation to this incident. [00:16:50] Messages had been sent [00:16:52] to Netanyahu and the Israeli government [00:16:56] to release our soldiers, otherwise we would launch an operation [00:16:59] against them. Ultimately, to liberate [00:17:03] thousands of innocent Palestinian [00:17:05] prisoners, they carried out this operation. [00:17:09] And the Israeli regime [00:17:11] committed extreme violence, [00:17:15] child-killing, racism, [00:17:19] and genocide. October [00:17:22] 7th, today, and the Gaza [00:17:26] incident, and the massacre that took place in Palestine, is so [00:17:30] indefensible even for [00:17:33] the Jews of the world [00:17:36] that perhaps [00:17:40] today, these actions of Netanyahu [00:17:43] have created serious reputational [00:17:47] and ethical problems for the Jews of the world. [00:17:50] Their actions were so anti-human [00:17:53] and indefensible even for [00:17:57] the Jews of the world. And this brutal [00:18:00] image, this anti-human image, [00:18:04] which had previously emerged [00:18:07] to a lesser extent during the last 70 years, [00:18:11] but this time, a very large [00:18:15] unveiling of the extent of Israel's [00:18:18] crimes came to light. [00:18:21] Let's [00:18:25] move on to the reports published about indirect negotiations [00:18:29] between Iran and America. Generally, the issue of resuming [00:18:33] negotiations, the latest development in this regard, was raised [00:18:36] on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, [00:18:39] where Abbas Araqchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, [00:18:43] announced that a seven-day roadmap had been presented [00:18:46] and the US had responded to it. Iran is now considering [00:18:50] what response to give to the American side. [00:18:54] If this response is accepted by the US, the process [00:18:57] could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz [00:19:01] and a return to negotiations. However, we want to know [00:19:05] exactly what is happening and Iran's role in this. [00:19:38] Therefore, we will no longer return [00:19:41] to the past diplomatic patterns. [00:19:44] A person who signs an agreement himself, [00:19:48] then withdraws from that agreement, should naturally [00:19:51] engage in diplomacy with them in a different way. [00:19:55] Of course, we have never abandoned diplomacy [00:19:59] and will not. But diplomacy has changed. [00:20:01] In the last two months, the Americans [00:20:04] through channels [00:20:07] like Pakistan, [00:20:11] Qatar, and even Iraq, asked us to give [00:20:14] them our proposals. Approximately two weeks [00:20:17] ago, we announced [00:20:20] seven conditions to the Americans. [00:20:24] If you do not [00:20:27] fulfill these conditions, [00:20:31] neither the Strait of Hormuz will open to you, [00:20:35] nor will there be any negotiations. [00:20:37] The Americans have now [00:20:39] given us a response. [00:20:42] In their response, the Americans accepted [00:20:45] some of our conditions. Some ambiguities exist. [00:20:50] Ambiguities exist. [00:20:52] Therefore, [00:20:56] the Americans have given [00:20:57] us a response. [00:21:00] We are not responding to the Americans. The Americans have responded [00:21:03] to us, and we consider their response [00:21:07] insufficient. Naturally, they should [00:21:11] resolve the ambiguities we have. Can [00:21:14] they resolve our ambiguities now? [00:21:18] So that the next steps can begin, or can't they? [00:21:22] You see, [00:21:24] our management of the Strait [00:21:26] of Hormuz [00:21:28] is a great national wealth for us, a great national [00:21:32] capital. Our intention with this capital [00:21:36] and national wealth is not that [00:21:40] we want to collect tolls [00:21:43] at the pass. It's more than that. [00:21:47] The Strait of Hormuz, at the same time, we can do [00:21:51] good economic work in the Strait of Hormuz. [00:21:53] We can [00:21:56] collect the costs of security, the costs of insurance, [00:22:00] and the costs of environmental protection from the ships that pass through. [00:22:04] But the value of managing [00:22:08] the Strait of Hormuz for us is much more than this. [00:22:10] And that is controlling [00:22:13] security. Experience has proven to us that if [00:22:17] Iran's management is not in the Strait of Hormuz, [00:22:20] the Persian Gulf will not be secure. And [00:22:23] this incident that has happened now, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, [00:22:26] or as it is being managed, this is due [00:22:30] to the war, due to the presence of Americans, [00:22:34] due to insecurity. Otherwise, [00:22:36] the Strait of Hormuz was open before the war, [00:22:39] there was no problem. Therefore, we [00:22:43] will have the management of the Strait of Hormuz from now [00:22:47] on. This strait will be under our management, [00:22:50] so that peace and security are established [00:22:53] in the region. And therefore, [00:22:56] we will not back down [00:22:58] from this issue. [00:23:01] Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the situation seems to be [00:23:04] still changing, and its conditions are not entirely clear. [00:23:08] What we know is that oil tankers that illegally pass [00:23:11] through the strait will be targeted. We want to know your assessment [00:23:15] of the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Is this strait currently [00:23:19] still closed? You see, [00:23:23] all over the world, even though countries [00:23:26] manage their economies and say that [00:23:30] the American economy is at the disposal [00:23:34] of the American government, the European economy [00:23:37] is at the disposal of the European Union [00:23:40] or European governments, but in all these [00:23:44] countries, there is also smuggling. In all these [00:23:47] countries, there is also an underground economy. [00:23:51] Mr. Trump has come [00:23:53] with a number of these bandits in these [00:23:57] coastal waters of Oman, which are rocky, [00:24:00] and is engaged in smuggling. [00:24:03] And then every day, Trump tweets [00:24:07] that the strait is open. [00:24:10] Well, the strait is open, but you are engaged in smuggling. [00:24:14] Firstly, in all over the world, there is smuggling, [00:24:16] but the Strait of Hormuz is controlled by Iran. [00:24:20] The Strait of Hormuz is managed by us. Secondly, [00:24:24] on average, in the last two or three months, every night we hit 5 [00:24:28] ships of these smugglers. This is the [00:24:31] head of these smugglers, Mr. Sandakan, [00:24:35] who is the head of these smugglers. He uses [00:24:38] Emirati soldiers and puts them on these [00:24:41] ships, and for example, 5 to 6 ships [00:24:45] that are prepared, he converts them into small [00:24:48] ships. They then take them to the other side [00:24:52] and transfer them to larger ships. [00:24:55] We hit 5 or 6 of these every night. Therefore, at one time, [00:24:58] captains and navigators [00:25:01] who guided [00:25:04] these ships would get 10-15 thousand dollars. [00:25:08] Now they give them 100 thousand dollars [00:25:11] for a smuggling operation with heavy [00:25:15] costs and many dangers along [00:25:18] the southern coast. Then Trump [00:25:22] says that the Strait of Hormuz is open. If [00:25:25] being open means this, then [00:25:29] smuggling is also present all over the world, [00:25:32] and there are also pirates. Secondly, he says that I [00:25:36] will take the oil. Well, what about gas? Gas [00:25:40] doesn't pass. Helium doesn't pass. Chemical fertilizers [00:25:44] don't pass. Before the war, [00:25:47] at least 100 ships of oil [00:25:50] and gas and petroleum energy [00:25:54] products used to pass through here. How many ships [00:25:58] pass now? And a part of it belongs to us, which we are managing. [00:26:01] We bring grains, basic materials, [00:26:04] and essential goods. Therefore, [00:26:07] the important issue is management in the Strait of Hormuz. [00:26:11] Whether the Strait of Hormuz is closed or when the Strait of Hormuz [00:26:14] is open. When the Strait of Hormuz [00:26:18] is open, we consider it our duty to establish [00:26:22] global trade security here. When there is war [00:26:25] and insecurity, we manage [00:26:28] the Strait of Hormuz by closing the Strait of Hormuz. [00:26:31] Therefore, the main issue of the Strait [00:26:35] of Hormuz is Iran's management, which is now established. [00:26:38] That is, whatever time it has taken has actually been for the benefit [00:26:41] of establishing our management. Therefore, these lies [00:26:45] that Trump tells have had no effect on oil prices. [00:26:49] The oil price remained at around 100 dollars [00:26:52] on that day. The shortage of diesel [00:26:55] in America has forced [00:26:58] America to resort to money. I [00:27:39] remembered a novel in Germany by one of [00:27:42] the writers titled "Last Bell", [00:27:46] from a little girl [00:27:49] who narrates the Minabo [00:27:51] incident. She says what happened [00:27:55] in those last moments and what events occurred. [00:27:58] I advise all young people in Europe and America [00:28:01] to read this book to see what [00:28:04] evil and tyrannical governments [00:28:08] rule your countries. But see the end [00:28:12] of war. This is a serious issue [00:28:15] in all theories [00:28:18] of military thinkers [00:28:21] around the world. Some say let's not [00:28:25] start wars. After all, wars happen. The end of [00:28:29] the war is important. And therefore, they consider [00:28:32] the theory of war from the perspective of the end of the war. [00:28:36] The Americans have used all theories of war termination [00:28:40] to get out of this war, and they have been [00:28:43] unsuccessful. The reason [00:28:46] is that they don't know what that powerful [00:28:49] force is in Iran that can end the war, [00:28:53] and where it originates from. For example, [00:28:56] Trump recently said, "I don't know who [00:29:00] to talk to in Iran." It's obvious [00:29:04] you should talk to the Iranian people. [00:29:07] The Iranian people, whom you say you want to annihilate, [00:29:11] you want to destroy the Iranian civilization. [00:29:14] You mobilize the Iranian people more against yourselves. [00:29:18] You speak impolitely to the Iranian people. [00:29:21] The Iranian people become more determined [00:29:25] to sink you deeper into the quagmire. Therefore, [00:29:28] the end of the war is in the hands of the Iranian nation, [00:29:32] and until it makes you surrender to [00:29:36] its rights, it will not give up resistance, steadfastness, [00:29:39] and defense. The Iranian nation stands firm in this war [00:29:43] until it obtains all its rights, and defends itself. [00:30:24] Hello, 5 PM. The postal network is the government's [00:30:28] tool for targeted subsidy distribution. [00:30:30] The President, at the World Post Day ceremony, [00:30:34] stated that the postal network can be [00:30:37] an arm of justice in resource distribution, saying: [00:30:41] "Equitable service requires precise identification [00:30:44] of needs and access to transparent spatial [00:30:47] information." Mr. Pezeshkian also referred to the extensive [00:30:51] capacities of the country's postal network, saying: [00:30:54] "Equal distribution of resources in unequal conditions [00:30:58] does not necessarily mean achieving justice."
