[00:00:00] Islamic
[00:00:02] Iran.
[00:00:22] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O God, bless Muhammad and the family of
[00:00:26] Muhammad and hasten their relief. Greetings and good morning to you, viewers.
[00:00:34] The nation carried out the struggle against arrogance. The head of the Supreme Leader's representative office in
[00:00:38] universities said in an exclusive news interview
[00:00:41] that this year's November 4th
[00:00:44] was fundamentally different from previous years, because the Iranian
[00:00:47] nation was in the midst of a direct confrontation and an all-out
[00:00:50] war with America, and from the region, they
[00:00:54] marched and showed steadfastness. Hojatoleslam Val-Moslemin Rostami added that throughout
[00:00:57] والمسلمین رستمی افزود در
[00:01:00] the years after the revolution, the hegemonic system tried
[00:01:03] and re-dominating Iran
[00:01:06] through indirect tools such as economic sanctions and inciting separatist groups.
[00:01:10] The hegemonic system tried to achieve its dream of returning and re-dominating Iran.
[00:01:13] This was the case. All that happened in the past was
[00:01:17] a kind of attempt by America to
[00:01:20] return to Iran and re-dominate
[00:01:23] Iran using proxy tools. But during
[00:01:27] the past year and this year, this evil current
[00:01:31] directly entered the field and decided
[00:01:34] that it would make a miscalculation that it had made
[00:01:37] and, in its own imagination, achieve the goals that it had announced: the disintegration of Iran,
[00:01:41] the overthrow of the Iranian regime,
[00:01:44] regime change in Iran, the seizure of Iranian oil, what
[00:01:48] it had announced was the destruction of Iran's military and defensive power
[00:01:51] and the destruction of Iran's nuclear and scientific
[00:01:54] capability. They had announced these things, and with this
[00:01:57] goal, they entered the war. And the people
[00:02:01] on the 247th night, I think it was the 248th night,
[00:02:05] well, the people from the beginning of the 40-day
[00:02:08] war until today, November
[00:02:12] 4th, stood firm and are still
[00:02:14] standing. They showed that this steadfastness continues.
[00:02:17] This
[00:02:21] year, to explain the wickedness of arrogance, there is no need
[00:02:24] for long and drawn-out historical arguments.
[00:02:27] The recent military aggression, the martyrdom
[00:02:30] of a large number of people, the country's elite, and
[00:02:34] above all, our leader, has clearly shown the peak of malice and hatred
[00:02:37] of the hegemonic system towards the independence and progress of the Iranian
[00:02:41] nation. It has been put on display.
[00:02:43] The
[00:02:46] thirteenth of Aban (November 4th) belongs to the students and teenagers who are the driving
[00:02:50] force of the country's present and future. The students decided that
[00:02:54] every Wednesday night they would hold the rallies.
[00:02:57] This
[00:04:00] November 4th was that giving concessions not only does not deter the enemy,
[00:04:03] but it also makes him bolder in his wickedness.
[00:04:07] The more we retreat and give concessions, the bolder
[00:04:11] they become. America has always been like this from the beginning,
[00:04:14] that the more you retreat, the more it comes two steps forward. Indeed,
[00:04:18] history always repeats itself. The words
[00:04:21] of the martyred leader and our leader, Seyyed
[00:04:24] Mojtaba, have always
[00:04:28] been wise. America showed its enmity in 1953,
[00:04:32] that it has something to do with our oil, and this has been shown until today.
[00:04:35] Indeed, whatever has happened, the more we or the officials retreated,
[00:04:39] America stepped
[00:04:42] forward. The results of the US congressional elections and
[00:04:46] the political developments in the United States have a meaningful message.
[00:04:49] Iran's deterrent power, especially in the strategic
[00:04:53] management of regional economic tools such as the Strait
[00:04:57] of Hormuz, has disrupted the enemy's equation. We were able to completely
[00:05:01] thwart their thoughts with the weapon
[00:05:04] of the Strait of Hormuz. According to the command of our Imam, we will strike their mouths
[00:05:07] with a strong fist. The elections that happened showed that, after all, the lack
[00:05:11] of energy and above
[00:05:42] The cinema of Iranian resistance has had a significant
[00:05:45] burden on the shoulders
[00:05:48] of contemporary Iranian
[00:05:52] filmmakers. Since the topic
[00:05:55] of resistance literature
[00:05:58] in Iran took serious shape in the contemporary
[00:06:01] era, resistance subjects
[00:06:05] have also been transformed into cinematic
[00:06:08] films and other cinematic
[00:06:11] genres.
[00:06:14] He also mentioned the drafting of the call for the Fajr Film Festival and its publication in a few
[00:06:18] days, adding that "we are preparing for a dignified festival to be held, and in this
[00:06:21] regard, we need
[00:06:24] the help of all cinematic activists and media professionals."
[00:06:28] I myself remember that in the 1980s,
[00:06:32] our dear country went through a turbulent
[00:06:35] period. It was involved in the imposed
[00:06:39] war,
[00:06:41] and studios were working. Filmmakers
[00:06:45] were making films according to the war conditions,
[00:06:48] and people were waiting
[00:06:52] in line at cinemas for the screening of Fajr Festival
[00:06:55] films. With all the ups
[00:06:58] and downs that our society has experienced, especially in the field
[00:07:01] of social cinema,
[00:07:05] we see that, thank God,
[00:07:08] the festival has been able to continue
[00:07:12] its path as a national institution in Iranian
[00:07:16] cinema. More
[00:07:19] than 130,000 subsidized housing units will be delivered to applicants
[00:07:22] by the end of this year. The Minister of Roads and Urban Development
[00:07:26] said at the Tehran Provincial Housing Council meeting that 8,000 of these units
[00:07:30] are in Tehran. Good
[00:07:34] cooperation and synergy, especially in the field of water
[00:07:37] and particularly in the new cities of Parand and Pardis,
[00:07:41] have occurred. This knot had existed for several
[00:07:44] years in the new cities of Parand and Pardis regarding
[00:07:48] the provision of water resources.
[00:07:51] The
[00:07:53] division between water and sewage and
[00:07:57] the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development stipulated that
[00:08:01] as soon as possible, part of the contributions for
[00:08:04] infrastructure in new cities has been done. The National Housing Fund has provided
[00:08:08] about one thousand billion tomans in resources, but because
[00:08:12] the infrastructures must be completed simultaneously
[00:08:15] with the opening and the completion of construction,
[00:08:18] this was prioritized.
[00:08:21] Mrs. Farzaneh Sadegh said that the conditions
[00:08:25] for receiving special loans of up to 400 million tomans have also been facilitated
[00:08:28] for 14 primary applicants to complete the payment for
[00:08:32] receiving housing. With
[00:08:36] the special order that was given and the serious follow-ups
[00:08:39] that are being carried out in the province, this ten-digit loan for applicants
[00:08:43] who are prioritized in these 8,000
[00:08:46] units will be carried out with priority
[00:08:50] so that the injection of funds for the first
[00:08:54] to fourth deciles can take place.
[00:08:57] The US President, following the heavy defeat of his party in the country's
[00:09:01] midterm congressional elections, confessed that Republicans lost in these elections due to the war against
[00:09:05] Iran. Donald Trump
[00:09:09] in a speech evaluated J.D. Vance, his deputy.
[00:09:13] Based on that, the war with Iran was the reason for the defeat of the Republican
[00:09:16] candidates in the midterm elections. Trump, in response to a question
[00:09:20] about J.D. Vance's statement, said, "I think it's largely
[00:09:24] true because this war in the short term caused gasoline prices
[00:09:28] to rise a little." The US Vice President had previously stated that
[00:09:31] the real reason for our defeat is almost clear to everyone
[00:09:35] and considered the war against Iran to be the cause of the great defeats
[00:09:39] of the Republicans. Good
[00:09:42] morning to you, dear and honorable viewers, and goodbye.
[00:10:07] The book "Roosevelt Street Station" is a work written by Mohammad
[00:10:10] Mahboubi. The book is about the takeover of the den
[00:10:14] of espionage, the same event that left an unforgettable chapter
[00:10:17] in the history of anti-imperialist struggles in Iran and the world.
[00:10:21] America's name.
[00:10:41] From 1978 to 1988, we had three very important events in the country: the victory of the Islamic Revolution,
[00:10:45] the takeover of the den of espionage, and the Sacred Defense. A book written
[00:10:49] in a documentary style with 80 images, a book
[00:10:52] in the category of historical literature. And
[00:10:56] Mr. Mahmoudi himself, from the work he did, the documents, I would say to you that the Americans
[00:11:00] themselves searched, found,
[00:11:04] and translated. Mahboubi, in this book, started the story of the takeover of the den
[00:11:07] of espionage from before the revolution, when he discusses
[00:11:11] the years of activity after the revolution and the history
[00:11:14] of the embassy building, but Roosevelt
[00:11:18] Street Station itself is a symbol.
[00:11:20] Roosevelt Street Station was the center
[00:11:24] of interventions by the United States government
[00:11:27] in Iran's internal affairs before and after the revolution. A book that has tried
[00:11:31] to decipher documents by introducing
[00:11:34] agents and spies who worked in Iran.
[00:11:38] For the formation of the book, if I want to mention a few
[00:11:41] points, well, we started this book in
[00:11:45] 2021
[00:11:46] if I'm not mistaken, it was
[00:11:50] almost summer
[00:11:53] of 2021. The initial idea for this book
[00:11:57] took shape. The initial idea of the book, which in my opinion
[00:12:00] came to mind, and I consulted
[00:12:03] with some friends and experts in this field,
[00:12:07] this viewpoint was strengthened. In
[00:12:11] the issue of problem identification, why should we address
[00:12:15] the necessity of this work, the necessity of addressing such a
[00:12:17] topic? What is it?
[00:12:21] First, as Mr. Doctor Kenaroudi also
[00:12:40] in places where no narrative,
[00:12:43] research, or investigation has been carried out in these areas
[00:12:46] or topics.
[00:12:49] And it becomes a problem when
[00:12:52] narratives such as those produced by
[00:13:14] the Razgari group and similar cases exist, or
[00:13:17] narratives by foreigners, meaning, for example,
[00:13:20] from Britain, from America,
[00:13:23] from, well, the former Russia,
[00:13:26] and Arab countries,
[00:13:29] and now different regions. This
[00:13:32] creates a situation where, in fact,
[00:13:36] it's like a football field where you
[00:13:40] have holes in different places and you can't play
[00:13:44] well. There, you fall into a trap.
[00:13:48] The second issue that made me feel the necessity
[00:13:51] of this work is that the issue of the takeover of the US embassy and the
[00:13:55] bilateral Iran-US relations from 1978 to 1980 is a living issue.
[00:13:59] It's an issue that is discussed
[00:14:02] daily. A book that narrates
[00:14:05] with chronological order and an analysis based on reality,
[00:14:09] and based on what is mentioned as a source at the end
[00:14:13] of the book, the author used
[00:14:16] 45 Persian and English books for this research
[00:14:20] work. After the shredded documents were reconstructed
[00:14:24] in the following months, it became clear that these
[00:14:27] documents were not merely mission reports. Well, this work took
[00:14:31] almost two years, and a large part
[00:14:34] of the work, a significant part
[00:14:37] that is related to the National Archives,
[00:14:41] was the collection of documents and access to documents.
[00:14:45] In terms of access to documents, we had several fundamental
[00:14:49] problems. The biggest problem we had was that
[00:14:53] at this period.
[00:14:55] That is,
[00:14:57] from '57 to '59, since many
[00:15:01] institutions had not been formed, and
[00:15:04] in a way, the
[00:15:07] work
[00:15:09] was not pursued officially and in writing,
[00:15:13] meaning, for example, the reports that exist, many of them
[00:15:16] were oral instructions. Very
[00:15:19] few
[00:15:22] documents were produced at this period, especially in the following months.
[00:15:25] For example, if I want to tell you, we practically
[00:15:29] have no written report
[00:15:32] of this event of February 14th. It didn't exist.
[00:15:35] Even the Revolutionary Guards Corps didn't have
[00:15:41] a report of this event. It might have existed in
[00:15:45] the police department, but I couldn't access the police documents.
[00:15:48] From here, I will turn to the second difficulty we had
[00:15:52] in this work, which is that
[00:15:55] the documents of this period are very scattered
[00:15:57] in different institutions.
[00:16:00] There is no single authority,
[00:16:03] and it seems
[00:16:07] there is an unwritten plan for not cooperating
[00:16:10] in obtaining these documents. This was the second
[00:16:13] difficulty that we struggled
[00:16:17] with a lot during these two years.
[00:16:19] And
[00:16:22] well, as I mentioned to you, another issue is
[00:16:25] the dispersion of these documents. For example, if you want to access
[00:16:29] the documents of the Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office,
[00:16:31] you have to look in at least three or four places, if you can
[00:16:35] find them. Some are here, a part of the file is
[00:16:38] there. One
[00:16:42] major problem we had in this work, and
[00:16:46] to some extent it may have made this whole
[00:16:49] research incomplete, was this dispersion of documents among
[00:16:53] different institutions. Well,
[00:16:56] in any case, this work was completed in the winter of 2023.
[00:17:00] In addition
[00:17:03] to these issues, such as collecting documents, research,
[00:17:07] and writing, we also had a difficult
[00:17:11] stage, which
[00:17:13] was the publisher's own review.
[00:17:17] Well, we had a number of professors
[00:17:20] who helped us both in the process
[00:17:24] and in the supervisory aspect of the work. The book, which also received
[00:17:28] an endorsement upon its publication, and now the handwritten
[00:17:31] notes of the martyred leader on this book are themselves
[00:17:35] a historical memento. In the name of God, this
[00:17:39] is a well-researched and beneficial report
[00:17:43] on an important incident in the history
[00:17:46] of the revolution, namely the takeover
[00:17:50] of the den of espionage in 1979. This book fills
[00:17:54] one of the media and propaganda
[00:17:57] gaps we have. We have not paid
[00:18:00] due attention to the war of narratives in global conflicts,
[00:18:04] and our enemies and ill-wishers
[00:18:08] have exploited our negligence and misrepresented many
[00:18:11] events. The author of this book
[00:18:15] and his valuable efforts should be appreciated
[00:18:18] for his intelligent action in this important
[00:18:22] field. The text
[00:18:25] of the book is fluent and clear, and its research
[00:18:29] and analyses are logical, honest, and convincing.
[00:18:32] The chosen name for the book is excellent.
[00:18:36] Seyyed.
[00:18:45] A documented narrative of the takeover of the US
[00:18:48] embassy in Tehran by Mohammad
[00:18:51] Mahboubi.
[00:18:56] The commendation indicates that this book is a well-argued
[00:18:59] narrative of a topic that the opposing side narrates in the war
[00:19:03] of narratives, and this is a rival narrative and a native,
[00:19:06] revolutionary narrative. A commendation that is both a memento and
[00:19:10] an emphasis on the historical importance of the takeover of the den
[00:19:13] of espionage and the anti-imperialist view of Iranians.
[00:19:32] Under the shadow of force, this is their
[00:19:35] work: they have built a large army to apply
[00:19:39] pressure wherever and whenever necessary
[00:19:42] to achieve their goals and interests.
[00:19:46] One of the common forms of colonialism
[00:19:49] is this military pressure that hangs over
[00:19:53] nations. Britain. When
[00:19:56] World War I began, British theoretical
[00:20:00] work was taken over by politicians like Churchill,
[00:20:03] and the battlefield was set.
[00:20:07] The million-strong black campaign, racist
[00:20:11] protests that intensified, but they were forced
[00:20:14] to abandon this campaign.
[00:20:18] Of course, no one dismissed the blacks. They just
[00:20:21] went from the front line to the rear
[00:20:25] of the front. During World War I, more than 2.5
[00:20:29] million Africans served as laborers or
[00:20:32] soldiers in the British army.
[00:20:35] From 1914, India
[00:20:38] also entered the game and alone sent 1.5 million
[00:20:42] people to the British fronts, bringing
[00:20:45] 13,000 military medals to them.
[00:20:49] Australia,
[00:20:52] New Zealand, South Africa, Trinidad
[00:20:55] and Rhodesia (or Zimbabwe)
[00:20:59] were also obliged to send
[00:21:03] troops. Labor work, transport of aid
[00:21:06] horses, and army services were undertaken by
[00:21:09] either black people or people of color. An American
[00:21:13] journalist counted the number of Chinese
[00:21:16] laborers who worked in the British army
[00:21:20] during World War I as more than
[00:21:23] 150,000 people.
[00:21:25] When the Boer War also began,
[00:21:29] the story did not change. This war
[00:21:32] broke out between Dutch-descended immigrants and the British.
[00:21:36] Of course, in South Africa, the British
[00:21:40] stood by and sent 13 to 153
[00:21:43] thousand soldiers from their colonies
[00:21:46] to fight and die on the battlefield.
[00:21:50] They did so.
[00:21:52] The people of India, Australia, Canada, Sri Lanka,
[00:21:56] South Africa, and New Zealand, their ancestors
[00:21:58] surely knew of deaths from the Boer War. In this
[00:22:02] war, Canada was the standard-bearer for sending troops.
[00:22:06] Second place went to Australians
[00:22:09] who sent more than 16 to 20 thousand
[00:22:13] soldiers to the field. Indians also sent 9,000
[00:22:17] troops. Now, either for
[00:22:20] soldiering or labor. New Zealand
[00:22:23] and South Africa were next with 6,500
[00:22:26] and 2,400 soldiers, respectively.
[00:22:29] The interesting thing here was that the colonies
[00:22:32] voluntarily sent soldiers.
[00:22:36] It was as if colonialism had taken root in their flesh
[00:22:39] and blood. In World War II,
[00:22:43] India took the lead and offered 2.5 million soldiers
[00:22:47] to the British army.
[00:22:50] The result of this good service was the death of more than
[00:22:53] 87 thousand military personnel and 3 million Indian
[00:22:56] civilians. India did not hold back
[00:23:00] any financial, industrial, or military aid.
[00:23:03] It can perhaps be said that after the United
[00:23:07] States and Britain, the third largest
[00:23:10] Allied group that invaded Italy
[00:23:14] were these very Indians.
[00:23:17] With such a history, it might be strange
[00:23:20] that the British did not like it when someone
[00:23:23] ignored them. Colonialism is the dominant culture
[00:23:27] of the British. A culture that no longer
[00:23:30] has many buyers in today's world.
[00:23:34] The
[00:23:43] emergency department is overcrowded and waiting times are
[00:23:47] long. Small hospitals are struggling with staff
[00:23:50] shortages and financial limitations. However, in many parts of Germany,
[00:23:54] the healthcare system of Europe's economic
[00:23:57] center would collapse without immigrants.
[00:24:01] I'm sure we couldn't fill these medical positions.
[00:24:04] Doctors like Mohammad Sharbagi, who came from Syria
[00:24:08] to Freiberg in the state of Saxony, Germany.
[00:24:12] Well, I'll put a little pressure
[00:24:14] here.
[00:24:20] Tell me again what you said. One
[00:24:22] in four doctors in Germany is an immigrant.
[00:24:26] Inavia Rukina came here from Belarus.
[00:24:28] She works
[00:24:31] at the hospital as an intensive care
[00:24:34] physician. But why are many German
[00:24:38] hospitals facing a shortage of doctors?
[00:24:40] He
[00:25:20] travels to the Freiberg region. He commutes with two other colleagues,
[00:25:23] who are also from Syria, in a shared car.
[00:25:27] Mohammad
[00:25:31] came to Germany 11 years ago. He quickly
[00:25:35] found a job at the Freiberg Hospital.
[00:25:38] The hospital is the largest hospital in Central
[00:25:41] Saxony, Germany. Mohammad is an internal
[00:25:45] medicine specialist.
[00:26:03] We have a patient here who has anemia, and we need to find out the cause.
[00:26:07] From
[00:26:12] which department?
[00:26:16] It's a routine check-up. Mohammad is going to do this about 6 times
[00:26:20] today. He has worked 6 days in a row.
[00:26:23] He even has a 24-hour shift that happens about
[00:26:27] 6 times a month.
[00:26:29] This
[00:26:36] is the stomach opening. Now we're going into the small intestine.
[00:26:39] But
[00:26:44] honestly, it looks completely normal.
[00:26:48] Most hospitals outside of Germany's major cities are exactly
[00:26:52] like Freiberg Hospital. Elderly
[00:26:54] patients are increasing day by day, and German doctors are decreasing
[00:26:58] day by day. Professor Christian Karagiannidis
[00:27:01] has been researching the German healthcare system
[00:27:05] for years. He says that many hospitals can only continue
[00:27:09] their activities with non-German doctors. If
[00:27:12] you look at the number of doctors relative to the population, Germany,
[00:27:16] along with Austria, ranks first globally. No other
[00:27:20] place has so many doctors relative to its population, meaning
[00:27:23] we actually have more than enough doctors.
[00:27:26] And yet, two-thirds
[00:27:30] of hospitals have difficulty filling vacant
[00:27:33] positions. In Germany, we are simultaneously facing
[00:27:37] three issues: medical facilities are excessive,
[00:27:40] we have shortages elsewhere, and these facilities are not
[00:27:44] properly distributed. Overall, we have a lot
[00:27:47] of human resources in the healthcare system, but in some rural
[00:27:51] areas of Germany, there are very few staff.
[00:27:54] Germany has the most expensive healthcare system in Europe,
[00:27:57] and hospitals account for the largest share of this
[00:28:01] cost.
[00:28:07] Professor Wolfgang Schütte, head of the Saxony
[00:28:11] Hospitals Association.
[00:28:17] Now the situation is such that hospitals only hope they can
[00:28:21] cover their costs. Many of our hospitals have severe
[00:28:24] budget deficits and are facing severe
[00:28:28] budget shortages. Economic pressure is increasing.
[00:28:32] Personnel and energy costs are rising, and
[00:28:36] many hospitals have many empty beds.
[00:28:39] The number of hospitals has been decreasing for years.
[00:28:43] One of the reasons German hospitals are interested in hiring
[00:28:47] immigrant medical staff is wage
[00:28:49] inequality. A clear example of this is Spanish
[00:28:52] nurses who were sent to rural areas
[00:28:56] and whose salaries were up to 40% less than
[00:28:59] their German colleagues.
[00:29:08] One-third of doctors
[00:29:11] are now non-German. Inavia Rukina came to Germany with her two daughters
[00:29:15] from Belarus 7 years ago.
[00:29:18] She worked as a doctor in Belarus, but
[00:29:21] only earned the equivalent of 170 Euros per
[00:29:24] month. She came to Quintenbergh to provide
[00:29:28] a better life for herself and her daughter. In
[00:29:34] the intensive care unit, she treats
[00:29:38] a patient with liver cirrhosis. Vera
[00:29:40] woke up, but
[00:29:43] Sania is still asleep. Vera
[00:29:47] wanted to know what we could do. I told her to take
[00:29:51] the clothes off the line
[00:29:53] and go outside.
[00:29:58] This man is not expected to live much longer. These
[00:30:01] are
[00:30:51] Germany is clearly struggling with a severe shortage of nurses and doctors,
[00:30:55] and in these circumstances, immigrant labor has become the backbone
[00:30:59] of the healthcare system.
