[00:00:00] and in the future, these will increase. In fact,
[00:00:03] most of the senators will be Muslims, like Sayyid, holding congregational prayers.
[00:00:06] They will even close for Adhan. We don't care about the prayer itself, but Sayyid,
[00:00:10] whom you follow, says when
[00:00:14] we have such a problem, why should we do such a thing?
[00:00:18] Externally, it's correct, but Sayyid, since he was elected without the support of a
[00:00:21] lobby, naturally has no affiliations.
[00:00:24] He has a freedom in giving opinions, a human nature that condemns
[00:00:28] not only because of costs,
[00:00:31] but because of
[00:00:34] crimes. Several people wrote a letter in the early days to the American Congress, from these progressives,
[00:00:37] officially stating that Israel is committing genocide. They used the word
[00:00:41] "genocide." The nature of their opposition to the nature of Obama's opposition
[00:00:45] is very different. You had heard that members of Congress
[00:00:48] would gather in front of the Congress building, put backpacks
[00:00:52] and children's shoes, and talk about
[00:00:55] the war crimes in Minab, because the President
[00:00:58] is a Republican.
[00:03:00] You have three politicians in America. One out of ten units, ten units, is
[00:03:03] against you. One out of ten units, six units, is against you. One out of ten
[00:03:07] units, three units. Let's understand this difference, and these are those three units.
[00:03:11] Those three units. Alright, do you have a point about this?
[00:03:15] Again, alright, let's move on. I wanted to
[00:03:18] ask something else that got lost in these discussions. An
[00:03:21] Iranian politician was saying at the beginning of the war, he said, "I will
[00:03:25] win this war, I will drag it out, I will
[00:03:28] turn it into a cost
[00:03:30] in the internal political structure
[00:03:33] of America to serve as a lesson,
[00:03:37] like what happened in the early 80s,
[00:03:40] to be a lesson." Now, if these
[00:03:43] predictions by Vahid are realized, both Mr. Hooshmand and Mr.
[00:03:47] Aghame Abbasi should answer if it's their intention, can
[00:03:50] we say that we have been successful and victorious
[00:03:53] in dragging this war into the politics of the United States of America? Now, you said Iranian politicians were saying this, we
[00:03:57] should say a group of politicians
[00:04:01] were saying this, another group wasn't saying this and still isn't.
[00:04:04] That's in its place. Second point, but I think, based on the speeches of the great people and
[00:04:08] the examples they mentioned, the Iran war was dragged
[00:04:12] there, meaning it's clear it was dragged. Now, how much
[00:04:15] it will impact the result, these things need to be seen
[00:04:19] at least in the medium term, meaning, for example, after four or five years,
[00:04:22] a look can be made. It can be seen in the medium term. Let's ask Mr. Abbasi and Mr. Hooshmand,
[00:04:26] do we have any other examples of
[00:04:30] events in other geopolitics
[00:04:33] beyond the borders of the United States that have had such an effect
[00:04:36] on the economy and politics of America? An example that has been much talked about is the
[00:04:40] Vietnam War. Lyndon Johnson enters
[00:04:44] the White House in 1965 with a popularity of, for example, 567.
[00:04:48] Three years later, with the Vietnam War, his popularity reaches 323, and
[00:04:51] it reaches a point where he goes to the preliminary elections in New Hampshire, one of the American states,
[00:04:55] participates, sees that his popularity is low, and withdraws.
[00:04:58] The reason was the Vietnam War, meaning student protests,
[00:05:02] for example, in that famous university massacre, where 500,000
[00:05:05] people gathered in Washington D.C. because, as mentioned then,
[00:05:09] there were human casualties. 58,000 American soldiers were killed in Vietnam.
[00:05:12] Because of these costs, Nixon, the next president,
[00:05:15] actually enters the White House with the promise of ending the war.
[00:05:19] So the clear example is the Vietnam War. And I think we are still
[00:05:23] far from this level of cost, and the
[00:05:26] costs of the Iran war in the next two years could reach a point for the United States of
[00:05:29] America where the next candidate
[00:05:33] enters the White House with the promise of ending the war and ending military conflict
[00:05:37] with Iran. Now, for example, at the level of electoral debates, at the level of midterm elections,
[00:05:40] this could be at the level of presidential elections. That is, the next presidential candidate
[00:05:44] wouldn't dare to talk about the idea of war
[00:05:47] with Iran, an event that happened in the Vietnam War, and Nixon actually
[00:05:51] entered the White House with this promise and won. Yes, certainly after
[00:05:54] the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the American
[00:05:58] people's approach to wars became critical, and they also had the historical precedent of the
[00:06:01] Vietnam War. Now, the Iran war has shown
[00:06:04] them that this war has serious economic consequences,
[00:06:08] and after the Gaza war, we can say that they are seeing
[00:06:11] these war crimes by their own government, which has had a great impact.
[00:06:15] Let me tell Mr. Nima this point, the difference that
[00:06:19] has emerged compared to Vietnam
[00:06:21] is the issue of social networks and the internet.
[00:06:24] That is, the extent of opposition to the Iran war from
[00:06:28] the beginning of the war was so unpopular and hated. We cannot
[00:06:32] ignore the role of social networks. This young generation
[00:06:35] that is now coming and supporting these politicians,
[00:06:39] this is really because of the emergence of social networks.
[00:06:43] A war crime happens in one place, and immediately people
[00:06:47] become aware of it. Politicians come and talk about it.
[00:06:50] These have caused it to not be like the Vietnam War era anymore,
[00:06:54] where a government, for example, Lyndon Johnson, could deny a war crime, for example, the My Lai
[00:06:57] massacre, and not publish it at all,
[00:07:01] and later we saw that the documents were published, the Pentagon documents were published, and
[00:07:04] a crisis arose there. But now, an hour after that war crime,
[00:07:08] the American people understand this, and this also really plays a role
[00:07:12] in making war-mongering politicians
[00:07:15] go on the defensive and not be able to defend the war.
[00:07:19] The extent of opposition to the Iraq war in 2006
[00:07:22] in America greatly increased in the third and fourth year of the war. Now,
[00:07:26] right now, for example, in the eighth month of the war, the extent of opposition to the Iran war
[00:07:30] is greater than to the Iraq and Vietnam wars. So, let's play a video of Trump.
[00:07:33] Let's play it so that Trump's
[00:07:36] guard is getting ahead of himself. Let's put this up, let's watch this together,
[00:07:40] and then we'll be back to you.
[00:08:12] I will veto it, meaning he's also taking a stance that he won't allow it,
[00:08:16] meaning, given the powers he has, how real is this? That is, in case
[00:08:19] of losing and failing in the upcoming elections,
[00:08:23] how open will Trump be? Well, this itself is a
[00:08:27] tacit admission that the situation is bad and that the Republicans
[00:08:30] might lose the Senate. This points to one thing. Another issue that exists is that, yes, according to the law, the President can
[00:08:34] veto congressional legislation,
[00:08:38] and for a bill in
[00:08:42] Congress to be "veto-proofed," as it's called, and for them to be able to
[00:08:45] overturn the President's veto, it must have a two-thirds vote.
[00:08:49] So if Trump vetoes a bill, it then returns
[00:08:53] to both houses, and then it must have the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members
[00:08:57] so that the President can no longer veto it, and it then becomes
[00:09:00] law. So Trump has this ability, but the important point
[00:09:04] is that in an issue like the issue of
[00:09:08] the government budget, it requires the cooperation
[00:09:11] of even the minority, at a time when they didn't have the House or
[00:09:15] the Senate. Now, if they have one of the two houses or both,
[00:09:18] the situation becomes much worse for Trump, as he needs the Democrats
[00:09:22] for the budget to be approved. This "shutdown" that happens
[00:09:26] and the government closes is precisely this: Democrats and Republicans cannot compromise,
[00:09:30] the government has no budget, emergency budget, and only manages
[00:09:33] some affairs, some are closed. So the government needs
[00:09:37] the Democrats and their support, so he can't veto everything, he needs
[00:09:41] their vote, that's it.
[00:09:45] In his recent speech, he said, "If we
[00:09:48] win the Senate, we will cut the
[00:09:51] Pentagon budget until Trump's government ends the Iran war."
[00:09:54] So Democrats in the new Senate can have this
[00:09:58] tool in the new Congress to pressure
[00:10:01] the government through the budget. There is an image, image number four,
[00:10:05] showing the extent of Democrats' opposition to what is called "denial."
[00:10:09] Turn it on, kids. If you look, you'll see that from
[00:10:13] 2017, in 82%
[00:10:16] of cases, the Democratic House has opposed Trump. In 2018,
[00:10:19] 66%. In 2019, this is his first administration, 95%.
[00:10:23] In
[00:10:30] cases, the Democratic House of Representatives, which was a majority in some places and not in others,
[00:10:34] for example, the last two years of his first administration it was a majority,
[00:10:36] opposed Trump, and well, effectively with a Democratic
[00:10:40] Congress in the last two years of Trump's term, such an event is more
[00:10:43] likely to be witnessed, because now those differences have increased, the atmosphere, so to speak,
[00:10:47] both sides have moved to the far right and far left, and this left current
[00:10:51] in the Democratic Party has fewer considerations towards Trump compared to centrist Democrats,
[00:10:55] and naturally we can expect that with the discussion
[00:10:58] of the Democrats' veto, they can gain the majority in the Senate and House,
[00:11:01] this opposition will increase even more, and a triangular pressure will form
[00:11:05] against Trump. The issue that arises is what they call a
[00:11:09] "lame duck," or a crippled duck. In the last two years
[00:11:12] of Trump's administration, if both houses are controlled by Democrats,
[00:11:16] he effectively cannot pass any bill in Congress. Then
[00:11:19] he will be forced to resort to executive orders,
[00:11:23] of course, we must also know that in relation to the issue of war, the President still
[00:11:26] has the authority to take actions, but Democrats
[00:11:30] will enter a process of pressure, and one of those instances is that
[00:11:34] there will be debates from investigative committees
[00:11:37] and impeachment hearings. The first thing that will happen
[00:11:40] and what they are pursuing, and it has been publicized, are the investigative
[00:11:44] hearings about the performance of Pitt,
[00:11:48] in relation to the war crimes in Minab, and they are
[00:11:51] pursuing impeachment and pressuring him to even resign. So with these actions,
[00:11:55] Democrats can increase pressure on Trump's government,
[00:11:58] meaning some limitations will be created for Trump that he didn't have in the first two years.
[00:12:02] He had a supportive Congress. Now, the Republican Party
[00:12:05] has truly been divided. There was a statistic that 90-some percent of the time,
[00:12:09] Republicans voted in line with Trump. The exact opposite of this statistic, because it's divided,
[00:12:13] his hands were open, but in the last two years, Trump's options are limited,
[00:12:16] both because of the budget levers and because of the various
[00:12:20] officials they can summon to answer about the economic vision, for example, whether it has answered
[00:12:23] or not. For example, the issue of impeachment becomes serious,
[00:12:27] and naturally, some Republicans may, due to concerns about
[00:12:30] the 2028 elections, gradually join the Democrats. This is more
[00:12:34] likely in an environment where the Democrats have the majority. Now, you mentioned the 2028 election,
[00:12:37] is it fundamentally important for Trump? Because he himself won't
[00:12:41] run again. Is it important to him? If
[00:12:44] you think it's important, how will the war story play out? Does he say, "Well, this story
[00:12:48] is over. It has no effect now. Whatever happened has had its effect."
[00:12:52] Tomorrow and in the coming days, we will see the result of the American elections.
[00:12:56] What will it be? In these circumstances, does he still think about attacking Iran?
[00:12:59] If an attack on Iran, just as it has had economic effects until now, can
[00:13:03] have more extensive economic effects, it is important for Trump
[00:13:07] that in these circumstances, he still thinks about
[00:13:11] 2028 or not. Because Trump is a narcissistic
[00:13:14] and self-centered personality, he really doesn't think about anyone else,
[00:13:17] and his own person is really important to him. Naturally, he doesn't care
[00:13:21] what happens to the victory of Rubio or Vance in 2028, but we can expect
[00:13:25] that the Republicans themselves will gradually, due to electoral concerns
[00:13:28] in 2028, move towards increasing their opposition
[00:13:31] to the Iran war, especially the closer we get to the elections, the more
[00:13:35] the cost of living in America increases. Now, 70% of American society
[00:13:39] is opposed. For example, if this becomes 80, becomes 90, or we witness street
[00:13:42] protests similar to the Vietnam War, naturally, in such an environment, gradually
[00:13:46] those who are Republican candidates in 2028 will move
[00:13:50] towards opposing the war with Iran, and in the cabinet, they will naturally limit Trump. Well,
[00:13:54] against it.
[00:14:11] Iran's war. In that famous briefing session, it was announced that I am against the war. Why is Vance writing a letter now?
[00:14:15] Why did we have the issue of the Islamabad agreement? Now it's his own name
[00:14:19] for his own political future, meaning because he wants to run in 2028, he knows this
[00:14:23] war is unpopular, he wants. Republicans
[00:14:55] will gradually increase this opposition. Why? Because costs
[00:14:59] will go up. But Trump doesn't necessarily think about costs. This is a very important point
[00:15:02] about the person. Now, we can only talk about Trump's person, who will probably
[00:15:06] disrupt everything. He practically doesn't worry about a third term. Perhaps
[00:15:10] if Trump were in 2018, we would say he's worried about
[00:15:13] the election and acts cautiously. But J.D. Vance and Marco
[00:15:16] Rubio, many other Republican candidates, are concerned about
[00:15:20] 2028, and the important condition is that there must be serious resistance
[00:15:24] and cost. increase in American society. That is, truly this $4.30
[00:15:28] average price per gallon of gasoline, for a month now it's been $4.30. These numbers
[00:15:31] are not enough for the pressure I'm talking about that Republicans want to create
[00:15:35] and, for example, join the Democrats. These energy costs,
[00:15:39] living costs must also increase in America. Now, do you know what the danger here is? Trump himself says that his legacy is important to him.
[00:15:42] He doesn't care what will happen to Rubio and Vance's
[00:15:46] political career, and 2028 is not important to him.
[00:15:49] But there is one point, he is also unpredictable,
[00:15:53] and he is not like other American
[00:15:56] politicians at all. And one important element
[00:15:59] in him is the issue of revenge, meaning out of
[00:16:03] resentment, he can even take revenge, even if it's a big blow.
[00:16:06] And he's looking for symbolic actions and shows. So we can consider this
[00:16:10] as a factor that Trump would go in this direction, but he knows, and his team
[00:16:13] around him knows, except for Heks, who thinks like him, they know
[00:16:17] that economically it's not in their best interest to continue this war, but there is also this
[00:16:21] possibility that what he is always promising is to end the war
[00:16:25] with a big showy and Hollywood-like action,
[00:16:29] and then interpret it as a victory. That is, Trump can also pursue
[00:16:32] this. Now, if you look at the other side, if he ends it
[00:16:35] with this big showy action and the elections, as the
[00:16:39] predictions are saying, are in favor of the Democrats, they will still
[00:16:43] give him hell, meaning they will still not let him go.
[00:16:46] He knows that he has
[00:16:49] to bring this work to a conclusion, and
[00:16:53] with this Congress he is losing,
[00:16:56] he will not be in a good situation. Our discussions are from January 3rd onwards,
[00:17:00] so that 60-day period will naturally be used as a lame-duck period
[00:17:04] by Trump, most likely. November 3rd to January 3rd.
[00:17:09] This is what makes him a little more scared. See, everyone thinks that if he loses the election,
[00:17:12] until the new parliament convenes, it's a lame-duck period,
[00:17:16] and he'll do whatever he wants. But he also thinks that if I
[00:17:20] can't conclude this in these 60 days, they will give me double and triple hell,
[00:17:23] and the Democrats will, in fact,
[00:17:26] have a forward-looking view. That is, they would love for this
[00:17:30] to get deeper and for them to be able to torment
[00:17:33] him more for the 2028 elections. They are also thinking
[00:17:36] the same way Vance is thinking. The opposing team
[00:17:40] also doesn't mind that every day
[00:17:44] the Republicans' record in the Iran war
[00:17:46] gets worse and worse, because this will be the factor
[00:17:50] for the Democrats themselves to win in 2028.
[00:17:54] The elections will most likely continue
[00:17:58] this way, as the polls show. American elections
[00:18:00] are fundamentally, they say, when a phenomenon becomes much
[00:18:04] older, it's more predictable. And America,
[00:18:08] because of these mail-in votes, really, the accuracy of its polls
[00:18:11] is different from the accuracy of Israel's polls, I don't know, or any
[00:18:15] other country, even our own country, no offense,
[00:18:19] because a very serious portion of voters
[00:18:22] have already cast their votes, and the sample
[00:18:25] is no longer, excuse me, there's no sample anymore that might change its mind later.
[00:18:29] They have already voted, it's called an exit poll,
[00:18:33] meaning as soon as they leave the polling station, they are asked who they voted for,
[00:18:37] and this becomes an example for a more accurate example
[00:18:40] compared to other countries. The divine
[00:18:42] watcher of the war. Because right now there is a possibility that
[00:18:46] at these final moments there might be news of an agreement or not.
[00:18:50] Does Trump, in these circumstances, go for
[00:18:54] wanting to make an agreement with Iran? Look, my assumption
[00:18:57] that Trump needs an agreement is still there,
[00:19:01] and that he would want to end the war with a showy act, is something I
[00:19:05] cannot imagine at all. Why? Because in the 12-day war, he said he hit Fardou,
[00:19:08] Iran said it's over, and it could have ended at that moment.
[00:19:11] Now, let's assume he attacks Qulalang and says it's over.
[00:19:15] What about the brakes? Now, the most important issue is that now Iran won't strike in the Strait of Hormuz
[00:19:19] from tomorrow, or it has given up and says it's in Iran's hands, or
[00:19:22] it strikes again and doesn't let them pass through the south. So the war hasn't ended.
[00:19:26] That's why a showy act like the 12-day war scenario
[00:19:30] is not possible. It has to reach a conclusion, and that conclusion
[00:19:34] must either be through war, which it won't reach, or it must be through
[00:19:37] an agreement, and Iran is not willing to make concessions now.
[00:19:41] So the result is that what I understand
[00:19:44] is that Trump must understand this. It's very important that the message
[00:19:48] is conveyed to him, publicly,
[00:19:52] officially, secretly, to everyone, that if you strike this time,
[00:19:56] Iran will strike in a way that will really make your next two years,
[00:19:59] and America's future, especially in terms of recession, problematic.
[00:20:03] This will cause him, regardless of electoral votes, for his legacy,
[00:20:06] to take
[00:20:37] In many parts of the world and in our country, it is a strategic
[00:20:41] force. From the perspective of a strategic force, the
[00:20:44] naval force
[00:20:47] must answer.
[00:21:50] Take control of the Strait. Consider it your
[00:21:53] undeniable right. Take the Strait as your servant.
[00:21:56] The deserts are in our hands. Our hands
[00:22:00] are God's hands. Our enemy is
[00:22:03] shameless. Don't underestimate your enemy.
[00:23:22] exposing new dimensions of extensive damage and destruction
[00:23:25] of US bases in the region. The Associated Press and
[00:23:29] The Wall Street Journal revealed in two special reports that
[00:23:33] the number of US military bases that were destroyed
[00:23:36] and rendered unusable by Iran's precise missile and drone attacks
[00:23:39] is 26 bases, and for example, in just one
[00:23:43] US military base in Jordan, Iran destroyed
[00:23:46] at least 19 dormitory buildings
[00:23:50] for American soldiers. Iran has inflicted
[00:23:53] heavy blows on US facilities. Now, while
[00:23:57] Trump is considering a new wave of attacks against Iran,
[00:24:00] the US military has withdrawn some of its forces from several of these locations.
[00:24:04] However, Pentagon officials are still concerned that
[00:24:08] Iran may have preserved some of its most advanced missiles for later stages of
[00:24:12] the war and this time be able to carry out more effective
[00:24:15] attacks. The Associated Press announced that Iran, by destroying
[00:24:19] aircraft, air defense and communication systems,
[00:24:23] and other vital equipment for operations at 26 US
[00:24:27] military bases, has significantly weakened America's foothold
[00:24:30] in the region. Iran responded
[00:24:33] to the war with precise attacks on systems designed
[00:24:37] to identify and neutralize potential attacks.
[00:24:41] Then it expanded its targets to buildings and
[00:24:44] equipment that made US bases useful and capable
[00:24:48] of troop deployment. He said:
[00:25:20] To continue widespread attacks on major US military facilities
[00:25:24] in Arab countries has created significant challenges for us.
[00:25:27] Put yourselves in the place of those Arab countries, our allies,
[00:25:31] when America has failed to stop Iran and is forced
[00:25:34] to withdraw from the region. They will tell America, "You started
[00:25:38] this matter and dragged us into this quagmire, and now
[00:25:41] you are only thinking about saving yourselves." In my opinion, if the
[00:25:45] war resumes, this time the situation for America and its allies will be much
[00:25:48] worse than before. At the same time, many American media outlets report
[00:25:52] severe concern from America's regional allies and that
[00:25:56] they believe, especially considering the new order from the Supreme Leader,
[00:25:59] this new phase of the war will be much more dangerous
[00:26:03] and destructive for them than before. Ali Rajabi,

[00:26:09] November 4th, although it is the intersection
[00:26:13] of several events. The event of the exile of the great
[00:26:17] Imam, the event of the massacre of students
[00:26:20] in the streets of Tehran, however, what
[00:26:24] has highlighted this day
[00:26:27] is the event of the capture
[00:26:30] and occupation of the US embassy. Or, more precisely,
[00:26:33] the US den of espionage.
[00:26:36] Therefore, November 4th, on which
[00:26:40] day the country named the Day of Arrogance,
[00:26:43] in my opinion, while that name is the
[00:26:47] correct name, it is the Day of Youth,
[00:26:50] of faithful youth, revolutionary youth,
[00:26:53] brave youth, valorous youth,
[00:26:57] innovative youth, who undertake something
[00:27:00] that prevents the enemy from initiative and movement.
[00:27:23] Street, street, street,
[00:27:26] street, come to the square, people, come to the
[00:27:29] square. Tabada did.
[00:27:32] May the milk be empty. May that flower be
[00:27:36] in vain. Take the pain
[00:27:40] in your hand, take the flag in your hand.
[00:27:44] Our eyes are on you. The enemy is lurking
[00:27:47] in every street and alley, that they may
[00:27:51] see your gathering. Disturbed bows
[00:27:54] and quivers bring forth, O people,
[00:27:56] bring forth from love and
[00:27:59] faith. Street, street,
[00:28:03] street, street,
[00:28:06] come to the square, people,
[00:28:10] come to the epic square,
[00:28:14] people, come, epic reciters,
[00:28:16] come,
[00:28:18] people, reciters.
[00:28:28] You are the strength of a port from servants like us.
[00:28:32] Sajir and Fattah's life is like a throat.
[00:28:36] It is Iran that will be destroyed and
[00:28:39] it is a shame to be out.
[00:28:43] It is a shame to be out.
[00:28:46] You are again in tears and
[00:28:49] through your means, what do you have from Qasr-e Banou?
[00:28:52] Come, I
[00:28:55] trust
[00:28:57] that you will be aided by God.
[00:29:01] The Quran will be established. We are in your
[00:29:03] presence. Come to the
[00:29:06] field. People, come to the
[00:29:09] field.
[00:29:10] To Manyaban.
