[00:00:00] Yes, thank you, Mr. Abshanas. We have the news now. After the
[00:00:03] news, we will continue the conversation with you. I will draw the attention
[00:00:07] of our esteemed viewers to the news.
[00:00:23] Good evening. The sixth American reconnaissance drone of
[00:00:26] type M170 was hunted down in the sky over
[00:00:30] Qeshm Island. The public relations department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
[00:00:34] announced that moments ago, the sixth American
[00:00:37] reconnaissance drone of type M
[00:00:40] 170 was grounded in the sky over Qeshm Island by the advanced
[00:00:43] electronic warfare systems of the Aerospace Force of the
[00:00:47] Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This is the second
[00:00:50] drone of type MQM170
[00:00:53] that has been grounded in the sky over Qeshm
[00:00:57] in recent hours. This American newspaper claimed
[00:01:10] that senior Pentagon officials, after the heavy
[00:01:13] defeat of the Republicans in the midterm congressional
[00:01:16] elections, faced the reality
[00:01:19] that the unpopular war against Iran fueled
[00:01:23] this defeat and that this defeat must have victims. According
[00:01:26] to this report, the Trump administration is more likely
[00:01:30] to dismiss John Keane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
[00:01:34] of Staff, and Brad Cooper, the CENTCOM commander, than anyone
[00:01:37] else. Previously, American media announced
[00:01:39] that Trump is likely
[00:01:42] to dismiss Pete Hagset, the Secretary of
[00:01:46] War. The increase
[00:01:50] in poverty in Germany and France in the last three decades, according
[00:01:53] to a report by the German Economic and Social Research Institute,
[00:01:57] the poverty rate in this country has increased by
[00:02:01] 45 percent since 2005, and the share of households
[00:02:04] experiencing poverty reached 17 percent in
[00:02:08] 2024. This report also shows
[00:02:11] that income inequality in Germany has reached its second highest level since
[00:02:15] 1992. In France, according to Le Monde newspaper
[00:02:19] and data from the country's National Institute of Statistics,
[00:02:23] the poverty rate has reached its highest
[00:02:26] level in at least 30 years.
[00:02:32] The new wave of bomb threats on
[00:02:35] Thursday affected at least 27 passenger flights in
[00:02:39] various European countries. These threats
[00:02:42] led to diversions of some aircraft, flight delays,
[00:02:46] and the dispatch of fighter jets to escort several
[00:02:50] passenger planes. The most reported bomb threats
[00:02:53] were related to Spain with 6 flights, the Czech Republic
[00:02:57] with four flights, and Bulgaria with three flights.
[00:03:01] In Denmark, two planes were inspected
[00:03:04] at Copenhagen Airport. Italy, Poland, France, Ireland,
[00:03:08] Belgium, Romania, and Austria were also among the countries
[00:03:11] affected by this wave. No government or group has yet
[00:03:15] claimed responsibility for these threats. These incidents
[00:03:19] are the second wave of similar threats this
[00:03:22] week.
[00:03:23] Continued program
[00:03:27] of the World Today and my colleague Mr. Shakouri.
[00:03:43] Yes, I thank my colleagues in the newsroom for the excellent presentation
[00:03:47] by Mr. Sadeghi. I draw your attention to the continuation of the World Today program. As
[00:03:50] it was mentioned in the news, the Saudi regime's fighter jets
[00:03:54] bombed various areas of Yemen today and killed innocent
[00:03:58] civilians. At the same time, they claimed
[00:04:02] that they intercepted a Yemeni missile over
[00:04:05] Medina. The Yemeni government immediately denied this claim by Riyadh
[00:04:08] and said that we only target Saudi oil
[00:04:12] facilities and military bases. Yahya Saree, the spokesman
[00:04:15] for the Yemeni Armed Forces, said that such a claim is in line
[00:04:19] with Saudi Arabia's continued false accusations and slanders
[00:04:22] against the Muslim nation and the Yemeni Armed Forces, while
[00:04:25] we only target oil facilities and military bases. He
[00:04:29] addressed Saudi Arabia, saying, "The people of Yemen respect holy sites more than
[00:04:33] any other nation, and those who pose a threat to holy sites
[00:04:36] are those who brought debauchery and immorality to
[00:04:39] this holy land." Regarding
[00:04:43] the equation of the siege of Yemen and the reciprocal
[00:04:46] siege of Yemen against Saudi Arabia, there are
[00:04:49] reports that this siege has actually exerted more economic
[00:04:52] pressure on Saudi Arabia itself and has caused a severe budget deficit for the Riyadh
[00:04:56] government. An Arab expert named Imad Akoush
[00:05:01] has made a comment in this regard that we will hear
[00:05:04] part of his interview. The closure
[00:05:08] of Saudi aviation facilities and infrastructure at several levels.
[00:05:30] This country's conference and exhibition. Another issue is imports
[00:05:33] and exports, especially the import and export of
[00:05:37] technical and sensitive equipment, spare parts,
[00:05:40] and other equipment and goods that Saudi Arabia needs
[00:05:44] and cannot provide domestically. Also,
[00:05:47] essential and vital medicines that cannot be produced
[00:05:51] in Saudi Arabia, and some agricultural products that
[00:05:54] will witness the cessation or closure or even widespread
[00:05:57] disruption of activities in many factories, farms,
[00:06:01] and economic facilities. This reduction in activities in
[00:06:05] the basic sectors of the Saudi economy, along with the cessation
[00:06:08] of the country's main economic activities, namely
[00:06:11] oil production and petrochemical industries, will have
[00:06:14] widespread consequences. This is what we saw in the decline
[00:06:18] of the main index of the Saudi stock exchange. This downward
[00:06:21] trend will continue as long as Saudi Arabia's aggression
[00:06:25] against Yemen continues. The rule that the people of Yemen have established
[00:06:29] is: siege for siege, airport for
[00:06:32] airport, and facilities for facilities. If
[00:06:35] Saudi Arabia continues to insist on its aggression,
[00:06:38] I believe the suffering of this country will be far
[00:06:54] Financial markets are also currently not favorable for Saudi
[00:06:57] Arabia, and they do not provide the necessary
[00:07:01] readiness and openness for bond issuance and capital
[00:07:04] attraction through public offerings for this country. Therefore,
[00:07:08] financing the budget through public borrowing is not possible for the rulers of Riyadh.
[00:07:42] The interception of Yemeni missiles over holy cities
[00:07:46] like Medina and Mecca, what is the root cause of this that
[00:07:50] Saudis highlight every now and then?
[00:07:53] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This
[00:07:56] has both domestic and foreign
[00:08:00] dimensions. It has psychological
[00:08:03] and religious dimensions. In connection
[00:08:07] with the domestic dimensions, well,
[00:08:10] with these rumors and with these labels,
[00:08:13] they are trying to maximize the incitement
[00:08:17] of emotions and mobilize
[00:08:20] the people inside Saudi Arabia, which is actually
[00:08:24] due to the lack of forces
[00:08:27] and to provoke religious
[00:08:30] zeal. With these rumors and issues,
[00:08:33] they fuel the idea that Mecca
[00:08:36] and Medina are under threat.
[00:08:39] Well, beyond that, there is the issue of the Islamic
[00:08:43] world. In any case, these two
[00:08:47] holy cities, Mecca and Medina, are
[00:08:51] very, very important for the Islamic
[00:08:55] world. And by spreading such
[00:08:58] news, they show that they have become
[00:09:01] beggars and want to exploit
[00:09:04] the emotions of Muslim
[00:09:08] people throughout the Islamic
[00:09:10] world. Despite
[00:09:14] the propaganda pumping and the use
[00:09:17] of their media fleet, which is not
[00:09:21] small, the reaction of the
[00:09:24] Islamic world was a very, very
[00:09:27] regional reaction, whose responses
[00:09:31] were similar to the responses of Mr. Yahya Saree
[00:09:33] and other officials of the Ansar Allah political
[00:09:37] office, and even some scholars of the Islamic
[00:09:40] world who know what secret
[00:09:43] relations and what conspiracies Saudi Arabia has against
[00:09:47] the noble people of Palestine and especially
[00:09:50] during the Al-Aqsa Flood
[00:09:54] war against the people of Gaza, what crimes
[00:09:58] they have committed and what aid they have provided to
[00:10:01] the Zionist regime by creating a land
[00:10:04] route and for delivering food and
[00:10:07] supplies and weapons to the Zionist regime through Jordan,
[00:10:10] what acts they have committed, and these
[00:10:12] responses were actually important responses,
[00:10:16] that you who are inside Saudi Arabia, debauchery and immorality,
[00:10:19] wine selling and night gatherings
[00:10:23] and immoral issues, which we don't need to open up
[00:10:27] here, people are aware of the stench of
[00:10:30] corruption in cyberspace, this really
[00:10:34] offends the noble people of the Islamic world.
[00:10:37] If we want to point it out, therefore, the
[00:10:41] discussion emphasizing that Ansar Allah, which is half
[00:10:45] of the Yemeni society, and their youth, especially the Quran
[00:10:48] memorizers, are defenders of the Quran, they grew up
[00:10:51] in the Quran school, they actually started the Quran movement in
[00:10:55] Yemen under the leadership of the father of Sheikh Sayyid Abd
[00:10:58] al-Malik al-Houthi and the martyred Sayyid Hussein al-Houthi.
[00:11:02] They accuse these noble people of being against
[00:11:05] the noble tomb of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
[00:11:09] Therefore, such absurd
[00:11:12] claims are actually not tolerated by the Islamic
[00:11:16] world, nor do they believe them. Mr.
[00:11:20] Sadafghehi, the issue of siege for siege,
[00:11:23] military base for military base
[00:11:26] and facility for facility, an equation that the Yemenis have started
[00:11:30] in their new round of conflicts with Saudi Arabia, how
[00:11:33] much do you think the Saudi regime will be able to withstand
[00:11:37] this equation? The Yemeni
[00:11:40] army, let's not say this, Western experts
[00:11:44] and those within Saudi
[00:11:46] Arabia are indirectly hinting
[00:11:49] that if these important
[00:11:52] and concentrated strikes on Saudi
[00:11:55] oil facilities continue, on the one
[00:11:59] hand, as you know, Mr. Shakouri,
[00:12:03] the Saudi economy is a single-product
[00:12:06] economy, meaning it relies on oil
[00:12:09] and oil derivatives, otherwise they import
[00:12:13] everything from abroad. They don't have significant
[00:12:16] exports, significant production, or much
[00:12:20] industry. This is one point. Another
[00:12:24] point is the paralysis of important and
[00:12:28] very busy
[00:12:30] Saudi airports, Riyadh Airport, Jeddah Airport,
[00:12:34] Dammam Airport, and other airports like Abha
[00:12:37] Airport. These are important airports, both in terms
[00:12:40] of trade and religious
[00:12:44] tourism and so on. Therefore, these airports and these
[00:12:48] Saudi planes, Saudi airlines,
[00:12:51] and also international companies have
[00:12:55] seen their traffic to these airports paralyzed due
[00:12:58] to Ansar Allah's control of the skies
[00:13:02] over Saudi Arabia. We see that
[00:13:05] it has been paralyzed, and also the naval
[00:13:09] blockade, despite the creation and establishment
[00:13:12] of the Mecca coalition and the exploitation of
[00:13:15] this sacred name, and also the naval
[00:13:19] blockade, this has exacerbated the situation
[00:13:21] such that oil exports have reached their minimum
[00:13:25] and Aramco facilities before
[00:13:28] this, they actually sold bonds,
[00:13:31] sold some of their shares, but today
[00:13:35] we see such concentrated and extremely
[00:13:38] effective strikes on Aramco facilities
[00:13:41] in various regions, which is a very large
[00:13:45] company and has various branches, and
[00:13:49] Ansar Allah and the Yemeni army have targeted
[00:13:52] all these facilities throughout Saudi Arabia and have
[00:13:55] affected them. Therefore, the budget deficit is a very
[00:13:59] important issue, and if it continues,
[00:14:02] Saudi Arabia will certainly lose its ability
[00:14:05] to cope. Mr. Sadafghehi, considering the existing
[00:14:09] scenarios of escalation or de-escalation of tension
[00:14:12] and this ongoing trend, which regional actors
[00:14:16] do you think can play a role in stopping this
[00:14:20] cycle of conflict, and perhaps ending the blockade
[00:14:23] and reducing tension?
[00:14:25] Well, look, several countries have intervened,
[00:14:29] especially within
[00:14:31] the framework of the Mecca coalition. Well,
[00:14:34] Saudi Arabia had counted heavily on the role
[00:14:37] of Turkey and Pakistan,
[00:14:40] while the Islamic Republic of Iran
[00:14:43] had announced, through various officials,
[00:14:46] especially our esteemed Foreign Minister, Mr.
[00:14:49] Dr. Araghchi, that if Saudi Arabia asks
[00:14:52] us, due to the close and
[00:14:56] intimate relationship we have with the legitimate
[00:15:00] Sanaa government and Ansar Allah, we
[00:15:03] can, provided that the
[00:15:07] equation and balance
[00:15:09] in deterrence are maintained, the Saudis
[00:15:12] withdraw, and a round table
[00:15:16] for Yemeni-Yemeni negotiations is formed
[00:15:19] without foreign interference. Well, so
[00:15:23] far, Saudi Arabia has been resisting. I remember
[00:15:27] in the negotiations for the return of our good
[00:15:31] relations with the Saudis in Muscat and in
[00:15:34] Iraq, and finally in China, with the presence of Martyr
[00:15:37] Shamkhani, we had an agreement for the
[00:15:41] return of relations with the Saudis. The Yemen
[00:15:44] file was constantly raised in these meetings,
[00:15:48] and they wanted Iran to pressure Ansar Allah to lay down
[00:15:51] their weapons. Well, this was an unfair and illogical
[00:15:55] request that Iran never allowed itself to even
[00:15:58] raise with Ansar Allah. In return, the Islamic
[00:16:02] Republic of Iran proposed that we are willing
[00:16:05] to intervene, but in
[00:16:10] a just manner, based on this. So far, the current
[00:16:13] Saudi government and Mohammad bin Salman himself do
[00:16:17] not believe that they are truly facing
[00:16:20] the Yemeni army and the steadfast
[00:16:23] will of the Yemeni people and Ansar Allah. They also
[00:16:26] continue to resist. Yes, thank you very
[00:16:30] much, Mr. Seyed Hadi Sadafghehi, expert on Middle
[00:16:33] Eastern affairs. Thank you for participating in this discussion. I bid you farewell.
[00:16:46] The last topic of our files tonight was
[00:16:50] the bomb threat warning on European flights that we witnessed
[00:16:53] today. 15 flights in various European
[00:16:57] cities today received this bomb threat warning
[00:17:00] and were forced to make an emergency landing,
[00:17:03] specifically 5 flights for Ryanair,
[00:17:38] LOT Polish Airlines flight was
[00:17:41] en route from Warsaw to Brussels, but despite the mentioned threat,
[00:17:44] it landed safely at Brussels Airport. Wizz Air, with a
[00:17:48] flight from Milan to Warsaw, diverted its route to
[00:17:52] Vienna, the capital of Austria, and one SAS flight
[00:17:56] from Copenhagen to Warsaw was also threatened
[00:17:58] with a bomb. Four flights to
[00:18:02] Prague received warnings, but the names of the
[00:18:05] airlines were not mentioned. These threats, which were
[00:18:09] reported in the global media today,
[00:18:12] and their source is also unknown, no individual or group
[00:18:16] has claimed responsibility so far. Some European
[00:18:19] officials have raised the possibility of combined
[00:18:23] attacks or sabotage and pointed the finger
[00:18:26] at some countries like Russia,
[00:18:29] and the UK has said that these incidents
[00:18:33] were fake and destructive intimidation and has announced that
[00:18:37] after inspecting the flights, no explosive device was found.
[00:18:41] In any case, it was a security news that
[00:18:45] has been repeated several times on European flights
[00:18:47] in perhaps the last two weeks. To discuss
[00:18:51] this issue, I will speak with our correspondent, Mr. Mojtaba
[00:18:55] Ghasemzadeh, in London, to hear more about the reactions of British
[00:18:59] and other European officials. Mr. Ghasemzadeh, hello, good
[00:19:02] evening. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello to you,
[00:19:06] Mr. Shakouri, and the viewers
[00:19:11] and listeners. What was the story exactly, and how did
[00:19:14] these 15 flights face these bomb threats and
[00:19:17] become news, and what were the reactions of British
[00:19:21] and generally European officials in this regard? Well,
[00:19:24] since Tuesday until today,
[00:19:27] 34 bomb threats on
[00:19:30] airplanes have covered
[00:19:33] three waves from East to West
[00:19:36] Europe, two of which were in
[00:19:40] England, one at London Heathrow Airport
[00:19:43] and one in Manchester. Well, these
[00:19:47] threats created a widespread wave of security
[00:19:50] concerns across Europe. Airplanes
[00:19:54] that were announced to have bombs
[00:19:57] placed on them either had emergency
[00:20:00] landings or were escorted by military
[00:20:04] aircraft to military airports, which of course
[00:20:07] incurred very high costs for them.
[00:20:11] There, passengers disembarked anxiously
[00:20:14] and worried, and the
[00:20:17] plane was checked. This happened
[00:20:20] in several European countries.
[00:20:24] Well, European officials
[00:20:27] announced that they received emails
[00:20:30] that stated that bombs
[00:20:34] were placed inside these flights
[00:20:38] and threatened that they
[00:20:40] would make the European skies red.
[00:20:44] Immediately, officials announced that
[00:20:48] after inspecting these planes, it was
[00:20:51] found that these news and threats
[00:20:55] were fake and no such case was found.
[00:20:58] For this reason, they tried to calm the situation
[00:21:02] and relieve people of their worries, but
[00:21:05] all these efforts of officials and Western media, especially
[00:21:08] European, could not calm the situation,
[00:21:12] and the security
[00:21:15] and life
[00:21:18] concerns of the people remained. This issue
[00:21:21] led to thousands of people canceling
[00:21:25] their air travel, and this issue caused
[00:21:29] a lot of damage to airlines. Airlines
[00:21:32] that in recent months faced increased
[00:21:36] fuel prices due to the imposed war by the US
[00:21:40] and Israeli regimes on Iran suffered
[00:21:44] very heavy costs, and now they have to
[00:21:47] bear more damages. These threats,
[00:21:51] with emergency landings of planes,
[00:21:53] it is said that they have caused
[00:21:57] some airports to be closed,
[00:22:00] flights to be disrupted, and thousands
[00:22:03] of passengers to be stranded.
[00:22:07] They are unhappy that after several days,
[00:22:10] European officials have not
[00:22:14] been able to find any clue to this matter
[00:22:17] and put an end to these security concerns
[00:22:21] with certainty. This issue has also become
[00:22:24] a challenge for the officials of this country.
[00:22:27] Mr. Apostolos, the head of European Air
[00:22:31] Transport, said that they have started
[00:22:33] extensive investigations into this matter, but
[00:22:37] they have not yet found any clue about these
[00:22:40] threats. These threats, whose sender
[00:22:43] has not spent any money,
[00:22:46] but have imposed very large and exorbitant
[00:22:50] costs on countries, especially
[00:22:53] airlines. Well, this issue has caused
[00:22:57] some airline staff
[00:23:00] to refuse to go to
[00:23:03] work out of fear of security concerns
[00:23:06] and risk to life, and this
[00:23:09] has also caused further widespread
[00:23:12] disruptions, in addition to
[00:23:15] the problems and difficulties
[00:23:19] that flights
[00:23:23] faced. Well, these have caused public anger, especially in these
[00:23:27] days when we are approaching the end
[00:23:30] of the year, and travel has
[00:23:33] increased. Mr. Hadi Alexander, the British
[00:23:37] Aviation Minister, in response to these
[00:23:41] threats, said that they know these are
[00:23:44] fake and false, but they cannot
[00:23:48] ignore them and must
[00:23:51] seriously follow up to ensure that none
[00:23:54] of these threats are real and cause
[00:23:57] huge damages, and their security
[00:24:00] concerns are justified
[00:24:03] in this
[00:24:06] regard. Thank you very much, Mr. Ghasemzadeh,
[00:24:09] for your detailed explanations about this security
[00:24:13] threat that has started in Europe and the
[00:24:17] reactions. As you pointed out, the party
[00:24:20] has caused millions of dollars in damage
[00:24:24] to European aviation
[00:24:25] with a cheap email.
[00:24:28] And with the end of our program time, I thank you, dear
[00:24:31] viewers, for paying attention to the World
[00:24:35] Today program. I invite you to stay
[00:24:39] with the news channel.
[00:24:40] Good night and goodbye.
[00:25:09] They found documents there and realized
[00:25:12] that the matter was much deeper
[00:25:14] than that.
[00:25:18] The revolution happened.
[00:25:20] The Americans were the first to oppose the revolution.
[00:25:24] In the US Senate, a resolution was passed
[00:25:27] against the Iranian nation and against
[00:25:30] the revolution. Then, they let
[00:25:33] Mohammad Reza into the US, on the
[00:25:37] pretext that he was going for treatment,
[00:25:40] and they housed him in a hospital.
[00:25:43] But the political and security agencies
[00:25:47] maintained contact with him. The Iranian people understood
[00:25:51] this, and the people got angry. Demonstrations
[00:25:54] started in the streets against America. Why?
[00:25:58] Because they felt that the event of August
[00:26:01] 19th would be repeated. Part of these demonstrations
[00:26:05] was the student movement. They entered
[00:26:09] the embassy and occupied it. They didn't want
[00:26:12] to stay in the embassy. The students did
[00:26:15] not intend to stay in the embassy. They
[00:26:18] just wanted the world to see how angry
[00:26:22] the Iranian people were about the Shah
[00:26:25] being allowed into America. That was all. They wanted
[00:26:29] to go in, stay for two or three days, and come
[00:26:32] out. The students' decision. Then, when they
[00:26:35] entered the embassy, they found documents
[00:26:39] there that showed the matter was much
[00:26:42] deeper than that. It wasn't about
[00:26:45] a Senate resolution. The embassy was
[00:26:48] a center of conspiracy and plotting
[00:26:52] to disrupt the revolution.
[00:26:54] That is, they were engaged in
[00:26:58] conspiracy. The embassy was no longer
[00:27:01] an embassy. The issue of the American
[00:27:04] embassy was that it was a room
[00:27:08] of conspiracy against the revolution, to identify
[00:27:12] individuals, provoke them, create organizations,
[00:27:15] use dissidents from the previous
[00:27:18] regime, and if they could, gather the army
[00:27:22] against the revolution. They understood this.
[00:27:26] When they understood this, they stayed
[00:27:29] in the embassy. Now, to say that our
[00:27:33] problem with America started from here is
[00:27:37] not an accurate statement. Firstly, our problem
[00:27:40] with America did not start from November 4th,
[00:27:44] it started from August 19th. Secondly,
[00:27:48] November 4th was actually
[00:27:51] the discovery of a conspiracy and a great
[00:27:55] danger to the revolution, which the students
[00:27:58] did. They were able to collect the documents,
[00:28:02] which had been shredded, with great difficulty,
[00:28:06] and understand what was going on in the embassy.
