The final stage of the eleventh international conference [00:00:28] of Mujahideen in exile, Pasdar. The martyred leader of the Ummah today in Mashhad [00:00:32] began. Examining the theoretical foundations of Sikh separatism in the thought [00:00:36] of the martyred leader of the revolution is one of the main axes of this meeting. This international [00:00:39] event has become an important axis for connecting, empathizing, and [00:00:43] solidarity of activists, thinkers, and concerned [00:00:46] Muslims in the field of resistance. [00:00:49] The first and second stages of the eleventh conference [00:00:52] of Mujahideen in exile were held in August this year, respectively, in Tehran and [00:00:56] Damghan. was. [00:01:02] The final stage of the competitions will start on Saturday, November 16th, [00:01:05] in Hamadan. The head of the eighteenth round of these Quranic competitions, [00:01:09] announcing this news, said: The competitions are centered on the mosque, [00:01:12] the base of the Quran, and are held in groups of six people in [00:01:16] two sections, under 18 and over 18, and separately for sisters [00:01:20] and brothers. [00:01:22] will be held. [00:01:25] This year, thank God, we had a very special welcome. [00:01:28] 35% of our groups increased by [00:01:32] approximately 16, over 16,000 [00:01:34] people in [00:01:37] more than 1800 groups [00:01:41] participated in these competitions, which is a 35% increase [00:01:44] compared to last [00:01:45] year. [00:01:49] Simultaneously with the beginning of the month of solidarity with Palestine in Indonesia, a large [00:01:53] public gathering was held in Jakarta. The slogan of this year's campaign is [00:01:56] to strengthen international support for the liberation of Al-Ahsa' [00:02:00] and the realization of Palestinian independence. In Indonesia, [00:02:04] November has been declared the month of solidarity with Palestine, and every year during this [00:02:07] month, conferences, marches, and gatherings are held in support of [00:02:11] Palestine, and voluntary aid is collected. [00:02:14] is collected. [00:02:18] And the Meteorological Organization issued an orange warning for 12 provinces. [00:02:21] Today, in Kermanshah, Ilam, Lorestan, Hamedan, northern Khuzestan, [00:02:25] western Kurdistan, and the heights of Qazvin, Zanjan, [00:02:28] Tehran, Alborz, Mazandaran, and Gilan, rainfall [00:02:32] intensifies. Flooding, overflowing seasonal rivers, [00:02:35] and waterlogging of streets are among the possible consequences of this [00:02:39] precipitation system. [00:02:42] Thank you for joining us for this news segment. [00:03:12] In the winter of 2015, [00:03:15] I was tasked with making a documentary about an Arak veteran [00:03:19] named Ali Jalali Farahani. It was decided that I, [00:03:22] Mostafa Shaban, a documentary filmmaker, along with the veteran [00:03:26] Ali Jalali Farahani, the subject of the documentary, [00:03:30] my friend Mohammad Yazdanparast, and Mr. [00:03:32] Kahaliyan, the driver of the group, would travel from Iraq to [00:03:36] Kurdistan for research for this [00:03:40] documentary. Our goal for this research [00:03:43] trip was to find locations related to the story [00:03:46] of this documentary in the Kurdistan region, [00:03:50] especially the place where Mr. Jalali was injured [00:03:53] in that area. But exactly on the morning of the trip, I realized [00:03:57] that Mr. Jalali had added another person [00:03:59] to this group. Someone who was part of the IRGC's [00:04:03] intelligence and operations during the Holy Defense and knew [00:04:06] the area we were in like the back of [00:04:10] his hand. He was a combatant during the Holy Defense [00:04:14] and was our guide on this trip. A man [00:04:17] I didn't know. [00:04:38] Our journey from Iraq to Kurdistan began, and [00:04:41] our plan was that Abdullah would show us the operational [00:04:45] areas of Valfajr 10, areas [00:04:48] where the combatants of Markazi province were present [00:04:51] and our documentary's hero, Mr. Jalali, [00:04:54] had been chemically attacked there. At the beginning of the trip, [00:04:58] Abdullah was very quiet. His gaze was fixed [00:05:02] outside the car window. But it wasn't long [00:05:05] before he started talking to me and began [00:05:08] to tell me about his life. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. [00:05:23] I was born in the football neighborhood. [00:05:24] Abdullah was a child [00:05:28] of the football neighborhood in Iraq, meaning a child of the southern [00:05:32] part of the city, meaning born in a place where facilities and welfare [00:05:36] have no meaning for him. From that [00:05:39] childhood, I remember working [00:05:43] and working and agriculture and all that. [00:05:46] And my education was in [00:05:49] Mohseni Elementary School. [00:05:52] Abdullah and his older [00:05:56] brother were interested in football. I don't [00:06:00] know if it was a custom in Abdullah's family to celebrate birthdays for children [00:06:03] or not, but I do know [00:06:06] that exactly on Abdullah's 14th birthday, [00:06:09] that is, on September 22, 1980, [00:06:14] Iraq started the war with Iran, and this became Abdullah's [00:06:17] 14th birthday gift. A gift that [00:06:21] changed Abdullah's life forever. [00:07:14] I was in junior high school when I first went to the front in 1981. [00:07:17] At first, I went to the front as a Basiji [00:07:20] for a while, to the Ali ibn Abi Talib [00:07:23] battalion. After that, from the beginning of 1984, [00:07:26] I joined the intelligence and operations unit. That is, until [00:07:29] 1983, I was in the Ali ibn Abi Talib [00:07:33] battalion operations. After the fourth [00:07:37] operation, we joined intelligence. Abdullah found the path of God [00:07:40] a year after joining the IRGC. He decided [00:07:44] to join the IRGC's intelligence and operations [00:07:47] unit. The closer the war came to its end, the more Abdullah's [00:07:51] presence on the fronts increased. Operation Valfajr [00:07:54] 10 was the peak of Abdullah's presence in the war. In 1987, [00:07:58] for Operation Valfajr 10, I was the deputy [00:08:02] commander of Imam Hussein battalion, whose commander was Mohsen Bayati. [00:08:05] I was his deputy in Operation [00:08:07] Valfajr. As the commander [00:08:10] of the battalion. An operation [00:08:20] that took place in a completely different area [00:08:24] and played a key role in two or three scenes [00:08:27] of my film. For this reason, I had to conduct extensive research [00:08:31] on it. We carried out Operation Valfajr 10 [00:08:35] so that we could open a new front other than the south, [00:08:38] a front that would be effective and influential. [00:08:42] And also to show [00:08:45] the world that Iran's capabilities [00:08:48] are more than what has happened so far. Abdullah [00:08:52] knew every inch of this area well, so much so that if [00:08:56] someone didn't know, they would think he was from that area. [00:08:59] The reason for this was that in Operation Valfajr 10, [00:09:03] he was the deputy commander of Imam Hussein (PBUH) Battalion, [00:09:06] a battalion from Markazi province that played an effective [00:09:10] role in the success of this operation. [00:09:13] In short, the story was that the combatants of Markazi province [00:09:17] in the Imam Hussein (PBUH) Battalion had participated in one of the most [00:09:20] important operations of the Holy Defense era called Valfajr [00:09:24] 10. And in the meantime, Abdullah, after [00:09:27] Mohsen Bayati, had played [00:09:31] the most important role. You were actually responsible for [00:09:35] commanding the Imam Hussein battalion at that time. [00:09:38] Then Mr. Abdullah Khosravi was here [00:09:41] as your deputy. Now I want to say [00:09:45] what kind of property you had in mind that you made [00:09:48] him your deputy at that time. His war experiences [00:09:51] and finally the efforts he had made at that [00:09:55] time and the courage he had in matters of work [00:09:59] and such things were more important, right? Yes, and [00:10:02] the expertise he had in intelligence work because at that time [00:10:06] the information was received by the children of the battalions, the axes [00:10:10] would provide more information. They were strong [00:10:13] and brave children and, as they say, talented. Of course, this does not apply to me, [00:10:17] I humbly say, but please [00:10:20] do not underestimate yourself. Please [00:10:24] In [00:10:55] a parking lot, we had military training in a parking lot right on [00:10:58] the side of the road. Hajj, is this Hezbollah? [00:11:01] Did you find [00:11:09] Abdullah? What happened? Yes, look at that upper pit. [00:11:12] We'll get there, God willing, with Abdullah's love. With the help [00:11:16] of his friend, Sardar Narimani, who was from [00:11:19] Khomein and the commander of the IRGC's Beit al-Maqdis Division [00:11:22] of Kurdistan, he found the location of the Imam Hussein (PBUH) [00:11:26] Battalion, and the next day, he took us [00:11:29] there. The location of the battalion was near [00:11:33] Marivan and bordered a Kurdish village [00:11:37] called Qal'aji. We are now approaching [00:11:41] the area where the chemical bombing [00:11:44] actually took place, where Mr. Jalali [00:11:48] was actually injured. [00:11:50] and then cross the border into [00:12:26] Iraq to inflict a devastating blow [00:12:30] on Iraqi forces at Darbandikhan Pass. [00:12:33] We traveled this route with Abdullah [00:12:37] in 1987, according to the plan [00:12:40] of the Imam Hussein Battalion. The area we [00:12:43] are in is on the road [00:12:46] from Marivan to Dezli. [00:12:50] We are going under the heights of Malkhor [00:12:53] and Soren. This valley is known as the Valley [00:12:56] of Satan, which was very difficult [00:13:00] to clear of counter-revolutionaries. [00:13:03] And in Operation Valfajr 10, [00:13:06] imagine if they had chemically bombed [00:13:10] this supply route, [00:13:13] how [00:13:16] would they have climbed these difficult walls? [00:13:19] It was truly impossible. The walls were impassable, [00:13:22] and it was not possible to escape [00:13:26] from the chemical trap from that height. This [00:13:29] several-kilometer route is known as [00:13:33] the Valley of Satan. It was impossible to research Operation Valfajr [00:13:36] 10 without visiting the border between Iran [00:13:39] and Halabja, Iraq. For this reason, [00:13:42] Abdullah spent almost an hour coordinating [00:13:45] so that we could definitely visit this sensitive point [00:13:49] in Operation Valfajr 10. Thank you, God bless you. [00:13:51] Thank you. Goodbye. [00:13:55] What was the result? What was the result of the coordination? God willing, it was decided [00:13:59] to coordinate with the outpost to go up. Abdullah insisted [00:14:03] that we should definitely show the difficulties that the Imam Hussein (PBUH) Battalion [00:14:07] children endured to cross the border and carry out operations on Iraqi soil. [00:14:10] He wanted to show us how the brave young men [00:14:14] of Markazi Province crossed such a difficult [00:14:17] road on that cold winter night [00:14:20] and with what difficulties they entered the enemy's [00:14:24] territory. This is the path [00:14:26] that [00:14:29] the combatants of the 17th Ali ibn [00:14:31] Abi Talib Division and what we are looking for [00:14:35] are the children of the Imam Hussein (PBUH) Battalion, [00:14:39] and Hajj Abdullah, whom we are currently with, as the [00:14:42] deputy commander of the battalion, and Mr. [00:14:45] Bayati as the commander. We were also free forces [00:14:49] of this battalion, serving them. We went [00:14:52] through this path to the top [00:14:56] of the blood area, which is actually [00:14:59] our main point. The other side [00:15:01] is Halabja, Iraq. The children came [00:15:04] this way from Dezli, on foot. [00:15:07] They actually came [00:15:09] one section by vehicle and one section on [00:15:13] foot in the [00:15:16] snow. [00:15:19] When we reached the top of the mountain, I put away the special camera [00:15:22] and had to settle for taking a few [00:15:26] photos, even with my phone. But Abdullah [00:15:29] explained everything to me and said how the children of Markazi [00:15:32] Province had made their way up here with difficulty [00:15:36] and headed towards Iraq. Abdullah said [00:15:39] the children did their job well in Iraq, [00:15:42] but the brutal bombing of Halabja [00:15:46] really discouraged them. That's why they did everything [00:15:49] they could for the Halabja chemical victims [00:15:53] and took them with them to the other side of Mount Soren [00:15:57] in Iran. We are now exactly behind the Malkhor [00:15:59] heights, [00:16:02] between the Malkhor heights and Dezli [00:16:06] village. The hospital you see [00:16:09] is actually a field hospital that was established during [00:16:12] Operation Valfajr 10. The combatants who carried [00:16:16] out Operation Valfajr 10 on the other side of the heights [00:16:20] in Halabja would bring the wounded [00:16:23] from the heights to this hospital for initial [00:16:26] treatment and then send them [00:16:30] to Sanandaj. The most important operational event of Valfajr 10 [00:16:33] for the children of Markazi province was the bombing [00:16:37] of their base by Iraqi planes. [00:16:40] And that was exactly when, exhausted and weary from [00:16:44] the operation, they reached their base near [00:16:47] Qal'aji village. [00:16:57] is occupied Palestine and the continuation [00:17:00] of genocide in Palestine [00:17:03] and occupation. [00:17:06] And basically, we all know that [00:17:09] the root cause of insecurity and problems in our [00:17:13] region is the Zionist regime. After the elections, [00:17:15] the regime's [00:17:17] crimes against [00:17:19] both Gaza and Lebanon have intensified. [00:17:22] Just yesterday, more than 10 [00:17:25] Palestinians were martyred during [00:17:28] the Zionist regime's aggression. On the eve [00:17:32] of the cold season and winter, [00:17:36] the problems of Palestinian refugees in [00:17:39] Gaza are catastrophic. They [00:17:42] don't even allow the entry of containers and [00:17:46] basic facilities for life to Palestinians. [00:17:50] And unfortunately, [00:17:53] European countries and the international community have become somewhat [00:17:56] numb in the face of the continuation of these crimes. [00:17:59] We are facing an extremely [00:18:02] dangerous phenomenon: the normalization of crime [00:18:06] and slaughter. The reduction of Palestinians [00:18:10] to mere numbers and [00:18:13] figures. Every life that is lost [00:18:16] is the destruction [00:18:19] of a human life. [00:18:21] Both the United Nations [00:18:24] and regional and international [00:18:28] bodies, especially the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, [00:18:31] have a responsibility and duty to take a stand against these [00:18:35] crimes. The Independent International [00:18:38] Committee of Inquiry of the United Nations, in its latest [00:18:41] report, has depicted some [00:18:44] of the atrocities being committed [00:18:48] and happening, and it shows [00:18:51] that the genocide in [00:18:54] Palestine is severely continuing [00:18:58] in both Gaza [00:18:59] and the West Bank. [00:19:03] We know that the officials of the Zionist regime are being prosecuted. [00:19:06] At the same time, the International Criminal [00:19:09] Court is facing [00:19:12] the heaviest attacks from the United States, simply because [00:19:16] it tried to prosecute [00:19:20] criminals based on its [00:19:24] own statute. I would also like to inform [00:19:26] you about some news that I periodically announce [00:19:30] here regarding new appointments [00:19:33] at the level of our representations. [00:19:38] We had 5 appointments that [00:19:40] concern [00:19:42] the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in [00:19:45] Cyprus. [00:19:47] Mr. Shamsizadeh, who is a well-known figure in the media [00:19:51] field, our Director General of Domestic Media, [00:19:54] has been appointed as the new Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran [00:19:58] to Cyprus. I would like [00:20:00] to express my appreciation for his efforts and [00:20:04] wish him success in his new [00:20:07] responsibility. Mr. Hossein [00:20:11] Taghdar as Iran's Ambassador to Burkina [00:20:14] Faso. Mr. Mohammad Reza Nazeri as Iran's [00:20:17] new Ambassador to Japan. Mr. Hamid Neyrabadi, [00:20:21] Iran's new Ambassador to [00:20:23] New Zealand. And [00:20:26] we also have a female [00:20:29] appointment. Ms. Zahra Saei as the new Ambassador [00:20:33] of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Kyrgyzstan. We wish [00:20:38] all our colleagues success [00:20:41] in their new responsibilities. [00:20:45] Well, we are at your service. Voice and Vision. [00:20:47] Please. [00:20:52] Good day. My question is about the letter from the US Vice President [00:20:56] to the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, which they described [00:20:59] as a diplomatic initiative. My question is whether [00:21:03] this letter contained a distinct proposal, [00:21:06] because that word was used to describe it, that the tone [00:21:10] of the letter was different. I want to ask you what [00:21:14] this different tone means, [00:21:17] and some believe that it wants [00:21:21] to create a difference between American officials, [00:21:24] for example, this difference that Vance is different from the others. [00:21:28] And there is also this view that it might be [00:21:31] a deception or an attempt to create division among decision-makers in Iran. And perhaps [00:21:35] the main question is, did we respond to the letter? [00:21:39] Well, you see, the fact that [00:21:42] there is a difference in [00:21:45] the style of letter writing is normal. It is possible [00:21:48] for different people to write [00:21:51] or speak in different ways. For us, the performance of the American [00:21:55] government is important. [00:21:57] So far, [00:22:00] the US has shown that in the field of diplomacy, it not [00:22:04] only lacks initiatives, but also destroys diplomatic [00:22:07] initiatives. The US [00:22:09] in the past two years has only [00:22:12] beaten the drums of war, [00:22:15] and whenever [00:22:18] a path for diplomacy has opened, or [00:22:22] during the process, [00:22:25] it has disrupted that process. In two instances, this is [00:22:29] very clear and obvious. Or [00:22:33] after that process bore fruit, [00:22:36] the Islamabad agreement was simply destroyed [00:22:39] two or three weeks later. [00:22:42] Interestingly, the chief negotiator of the Islamabad [00:22:45] process was the author of [00:22:49] that letter, and we saw [00:22:52] that, well, the US President recently announced [00:22:56] that in our view, that process was a waste of time. [00:22:59] With these descriptions, [00:23:01] certainly, any diplomatic process [00:23:05] should be approached with great caution. [00:23:08] The diplomatic initiative was an initiative that [00:23:11] the Islamic Republic of Iran recently [00:23:15] proposed. The seven-day initiative, [00:23:19] and during the visit of the Iranian delegation to [00:23:22] New York, it was discussed in detail. [00:23:25] We received the views of the other side through intermediaries [00:23:28] and heard them. Various considerations [00:23:32] were exchanged. Our proposal [00:23:35] regarding [00:23:37] this [00:23:40] diplomatic process still exists. The ball is in [00:23:43] America's court, because our demands [00:23:47] have been stated very clearly and transparently. [00:23:52] Reasonable and logical, because no [00:23:55] final agreement can begin, [00:23:57] the Strait of Hormuz cannot [00:24:01] be reopened or secured unless the [00:24:05] American naval blockade ends, [00:24:07] Iran's demands [00:24:11] are met, Iran's legitimate demands [00:24:14] are implemented, and then we can talk [00:24:17] about continuing the process. [00:24:20] Therefore, [00:24:23] regarding the letter you mentioned, how to respond [00:24:26] to it, well, given that the recipient of the letter [00:24:30] is the esteemed Secretary of the SNSC, they will certainly decide [00:24:33] on it in the way they see [00:24:37] fit. However, [00:24:40] regarding whether diplomacy [00:24:43] is ongoing or whether this letter [00:24:47] has started something [00:24:50] new, I must tell you that the basis of [00:24:53] discussions, the basis of negotiations between Iran [00:24:57] and the US through intermediaries, is the same [00:24:59] seven-stage plan of Iran, [00:25:02] which is now [00:25:03] condensed, [00:25:07] and it is possible to implement that plan within [00:25:10] two days. This also shows [00:25:14] Iran's approach based on good faith. We have stated [00:25:17] that if Iran's demands [00:25:20] are implemented, it is possible [00:25:23] for security to return to the Strait of Hormuz [00:25:27] and for the negotiation process to begin [00:25:29] within a short period. [00:25:33] All of this depends on the American [00:25:35] side and how it wants to act [00:25:39] regarding the future of this [00:25:43] process. Please go ahead. [00:25:47] Mr. Baghaei, I think you have answered almost all the questions about negotiation. [00:25:51] We had some negotiations between the Iranian [00:25:54] and Qatari delegations, specifically. Could you please tell us that, although you [00:25:58] mentioned that the two-day plan is now on the table, this [00:26:01] delegation that came from Qatar, and it was said that the Deputy [00:26:04] Foreign Minister also went to Doha, Mr. Iraqi announced last night that his deputy [00:26:08] has apparently returned. Now, considering [00:26:11] those conflicting statements and perhaps the heightened [00:26:14] atmosphere of war and this simultaneous talk [00:26:18] of threat and diplomacy, could you tell us what the result [00:26:21] of the Doha consultations was? Was that two-day plan rejected, [00:26:25] or is that plan still the basis? [00:26:28] And another question, following my colleague's question, has there [00:26:31] been any change in the composition of the negotiating [00:26:35] team and the high-level team responsible for diplomacy during the war, or not? [00:26:38] Thank you. [00:26:40] And [00:26:44] the trip of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs to Doha was for [00:26:47] facilitating interactions [00:26:50] between [00:26:53] the mediator and Iran. That is, [00:26:56] he was present in Doha [00:27:00] to facilitate the exchange [00:27:03] of messages between Iran and the US, since Qatar [00:27:06] is doing so. [00:27:09] I can tell you [00:27:10] that [00:27:13] the talks are ongoing. [00:27:15] In any case, [00:27:17] the issue is complex, or rather, [00:27:21] the issues are very complex, [00:27:24] and the passage of time, given [00:27:28] America's actions, has added to [00:27:30] the complexities. In our opinion, this [00:27:34] exchange of messages is still [00:27:37] ongoing. [00:27:40] America must make a decision. [00:27:42] We have reflected everything that [00:27:46] was necessary [00:27:49] and considered as Iran's legitimate [00:27:53] demands to the American [00:27:57] side in a reasonable framework for a long time. [00:28:00] Look, when we talk about demands, let's keep in mind [00:28:04] that the implementation of these demands [00:28:07] is necessary for the return of security to the region. You cannot [00:28:11] talk about the Strait of Hormuz, be concerned [00:28:14] about insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz, but still [00:28:17] continue the economic blockade of Iran [00:28:20] and put aside everything you accepted [00:28:24] in the framework of the Islamabad agreement, [00:28:27] and expect Iran to accept unilateral commitments. [00:28:31] This [00:28:35] would be a one-sided deal that, well, would not [00:28:38] be very sustainable. Therefore, Iran's insistence [00:28:41] that its demands [00:28:44] must be implemented first [00:28:47] is not solely in the interest [00:28:50] of our national interests. It is a reasonable approach [00:28:54] with the aim of helping to restore [00:28:57] community security to the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian [00:29:01] Gulf. Regarding changes in composition, [00:29:03] no. [00:29:06] The respected Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council has very clearly [00:29:10] stated the issue regarding the process [00:29:13] of managing the country's diplomacy and that [00:29:17] the Supreme National Security Council manages this work. When we say [00:29:20] Supreme National Security Council, it includes the respected [00:29:23] President as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, the Minister of Foreign Affairs [00:29:27] as a member, and other pillars of the system [00:29:31] that have a role and position [00:29:35] in the Supreme National Security Council. Our negotiator, [00:29:38] as the respected Minister of Foreign Affairs stated [00:29:41] in his interview yesterday, is Mr. Ghalibaf, and [00:29:45] thank God, [00:29:48] the cohesion and solidarity [00:29:51] among decision-makers [00:29:55] and high-level decision-making bodies [00:29:57] is truly unprecedented. We should thank [00:30:01] God for this. [00:30:11] allegations of anti-semitism against Iran have intensified with several [00:30:15] European countries including Germany and the UK as well as [00:30:19] Australia accusing Teran of plotting to harm [00:30:22] Jewish individual and property. Canada [00:30:26] CBS also aired detailed report on the matter few days [00:30:29] ago accusing accusing Iran
