[00:04:17] the governorate to Governorate, chaired by Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan, as part of
[00:04:20] the second round of its sessions in the governorates, and within the framework of

[00:04:35] the Prime Minister emphasized the difficult regional situation and that crises
[00:04:39] may last for months or years, but with the leadership of His Majesty
[00:04:43] the King and the strength of the army and security institutions, we can fully
[00:04:46] focus on building
[00:04:49] he was approaching a critical turning point in our economy in all
[00:04:49] its details.
[00:04:55] The regional situation is difficult.
[00:04:59] The crises around
[00:05:02] the launch of a study on the state and blood bank building at Ma'an us are not easy at all. They have an impact on the region and on
[00:05:06] the world. And the crisis we are witnessing
[00:05:09] today may last, it may last
[00:05:12] for months, it may last for years,
[00:05:15] we don't know.
[00:05:19] But as His Majesty taught us and as he always
[00:05:22] guided us, when
[00:05:25] things are difficult around
[00:05:28] us, our determination, our effort, and our resolve
[00:05:31] become stronger. So
[00:05:34] this government is working to
[00:05:37] build the local
[00:05:41] and economic mechanisms so that we can
[00:05:44] face such crises and regional
[00:05:48] challenges, even if they prolong. So all
[00:05:51] our determination and all our effort today
[00:05:55] is focused on building
[00:05:58] the economy and on improving
[00:06:00] services and enabling citizens to find
[00:06:04] the necessary income opportunities. This is the first priority and
[00:06:08] nothing else is above it. Thank
[00:06:11] God. Under the leadership of His Majesty, with his
[00:06:15] directives, with the strength of our army
[00:06:18] and security institutions, we can now
[00:06:21] fully focus on building our economy in all
[00:06:25] its details, and with a strategic vision
[00:06:27] defined by the economic
[00:06:30] modernization vision. And we are working in all the details
[00:06:34] to apply and implement this vision and according to the Royal
[00:06:37] Mandate letter to this government. The
[00:06:40] Prime Minister also affirmed during the
[00:06:44] session that there are very important economic opportunities
[00:06:48] for Ma'an Governorate and it is necessary to take advantage of them
[00:06:52] launch into a sustainable development process.
[00:06:56] This is the fifth working
[00:06:58] visit to Ma'an Governorate during
[00:07:02] the past two years. I am honored
[00:07:04] once again to be with my colleagues
[00:07:08] today in this dear governorate
[00:07:11] to all of us, among our people
[00:07:14] and our pride in Ma'an.
[00:07:17] Last year, the Council of Ministers
[00:07:21] met in this governorate
[00:07:23] and we agreed on a detailed
[00:07:26] program
[00:07:30] program is implemented over three years with specific funding,
[00:07:34] and I think
[00:07:36] this was an agreement and a covenant between us that
[00:07:39] we would implement it on schedule and within
[00:07:42] its allocations, and we are continuing to do so. We also
[00:07:45] had meetings with the honorable
[00:07:48] program in the past period, and with the
[00:07:51] brothers in the Senate as well, because
[00:07:55] it is important to us
[00:07:59] that things change and there are transformations, so
[00:08:02] it is important to take into account the needs
[00:08:05] that may arise sometimes in terms of
[00:08:08] service aspects that we can try to help
[00:08:12] with and cover outside the scope of
[00:08:15] the executive program that was agreed upon, but regarding
[00:08:19] the program, we are
[00:08:22] is a commitment. And our meeting with you
[00:08:25] in this council is for this purpose, and to also
[00:08:29] ensure that your priorities
[00:08:33] basic and necessary program, which is
[00:08:37] the building block for development in this governorate.
[00:08:40] There are approximately 127 projects distributed across
[00:08:45] program. Their cost over the three
[00:08:48] years is approximately a quarter billion dinars, and the completion
[00:08:52] rate specifically is 81%.
[00:08:55] This is regarding the sectoral service
[00:08:58] program, and of course, there is continuous follow-up and evaluation
[00:09:01] of these matters, but honestly,
[00:09:04] I am
[00:09:06] fully convinced that there is
[00:09:09] a very important economic opportunity
[00:09:12] for this governorate that must be seized,
[00:09:16] and I am fully convinced that during the next two
[00:09:19] years, we will be able to move forward with these
[00:09:23] necessary and important opportunities that ultimately
[00:09:26] will enable
[00:09:30] embark on a sustainable and necessary development
[00:09:33] process. We began by establishing
[00:09:37] incentives for the development
[00:09:39] zone.
[00:09:42] Land prices dropped by 50%.
[00:09:46] We lowered electricity by about 75%
[00:09:49] for the first two years. Incentives provided
[00:09:52] for operational purposes. We also provided
[00:09:56] significant incentives. There has been some
[00:09:59] new interest in this area,
[00:10:02] and I believe it will gradually increase
[00:10:05] during 2027, which is a necessary
[00:10:08] start. But more importantly,
[00:10:13] when we launch
[00:10:15] the Aqaba Ma'an Dry Port,
[00:10:19] this is the essential cornerstone for building
[00:10:22] Ma'an's economy.
[00:10:25] Today, Aqaba has many priorities
[00:10:29] and ports. Rail transport,
[00:10:33] God willing, soon
[00:10:36] the foundation stone will be laid
[00:10:39] for the Aqaba-Shadiyeh Ma'an railway
[00:10:42] line. Because the railway
[00:10:45] line that reaches Ma'an will be a cornerstone
[00:10:49] for the Ma'an Dry Port. So connecting
[00:10:52] Aqaba with industry in Ma'an,
[00:10:56] with railways in Ma'an, and its logistics,
[00:10:58] and transporting all matters that can be transported to Ma'an
[00:11:02] logistically, including customs,
[00:11:05] is a fundamental issue that will provide
[00:11:09] us with an integrated component
[00:11:11] for the Ma'an Dry Port and the Ma'an Development
[00:11:14] Zone. In addition to that, we have now begun
[00:11:18] studying the connection
[00:11:20] of the Karama Safawi
[00:11:23] Azraq Al-Jafr Ma'an
[00:11:27] land route to connect Ma'an directly
[00:11:30] and more efficiently with Iraq. This
[00:11:33] is the picture that needs to be completed
[00:11:37] during 2027 and put into
[00:11:40] implementation. So in 2027,
[00:11:43] the tenders for this integrated picture
[00:11:47] will be issued so that we can implement it
[00:11:50] over the years, and God willing,
[00:11:53] on the ground, including the railway, by
[00:11:56] 2030. This is the vision that
[00:12:00] I firmly believe will achieve a necessary
[00:12:03] and indispensable level of development for this governorate.
[00:12:07] It is true that there are many service needs, and we are working
[00:12:11] on them. I visited many schools in Ma'an and we improved some of them,
[00:12:14] and we will continue to improve others.
[00:12:18] I thank you for this important partnership and
[00:12:21] for your cooperation, and God willing, in the
[00:12:26] will increase because the projects we are going to proceed with
[00:12:30] truly require us to work together as one
[00:12:33] hand, because these projects will be historic,
[00:12:37] important, and essential if we want to
[00:12:39] move to
[00:12:43] of work and development in this governorate.
[00:12:46] Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan had
[00:12:50] laid the foundation stone for the project to deliver natural gas to Al-Rawda
[00:12:53] Industrial City. At a cost of approximately 10 million
[00:12:57] dinars. The Prime Minister also inaugurated the new expansion project
[00:13:00] of Ma'an Government Hospital, at a cost
[00:13:03] of approximately five million
[00:13:05] dinars.
[00:13:08] A new step on the path to strengthening investment and supporting the industrial
[00:13:12] sector in Ma'an Governorate was represented by the laying
[00:13:15] of the foundation stone by Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan for the project
[00:13:19] to deliver natural gas to Al-Rawda Industrial City,
[00:13:22] which is part of Ma'an Development Zone. At a cost
[00:13:25] of approximately 10 million dinars and funded by an Emirati
[00:13:29] grant provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund
[00:13:32] for Development. The project is expected to be completed within
[00:13:35] 18 months, as part of a grant with a total
[00:13:39] value of approximately 50 million dinars
[00:13:42] allocated to support projects to supply industrial cities with natural
[00:13:46] gas in a number of governorates of the Kingdom.
[00:13:49] The project is expected to contribute to reducing energy
[00:13:52] costs for industries by percentages ranging
[00:13:58] from, which enhances the competitiveness of industrial establishments
[00:14:02] and supports opportunities for expansion and investment. The project
[00:14:05] enhances the strategic
[00:14:09] position of Al-Rawda Industrial City, in addition
[00:14:13] to its strategic location. We are talking about the existence
[00:14:17] of a package of incentives that the government approved last
[00:14:19] month, in addition of course to the issue of
[00:14:23] infrastructure at all levels. All of
[00:14:27] these are enhancers and complementary factors for an industrial
[00:14:29] system that we are optimistic about, which will attract
[00:14:32] new investments and new industries within
[00:14:36] the goals of Ma'an Development Company. Of course,
[00:14:40] the work plan and all of this ultimately
[00:14:44] contributes to creating job opportunities. So we are very
[00:14:47] optimistic about it. There
[00:14:49] are 138 projects that have been approved, and the completion
[00:14:52] rate of these projects exceeded 81%, and this
[00:14:55] will, and the citizen has started to feel
[00:14:59] its impact and experience it. The projects were targeted
[00:15:03] service projects, development projects,
[00:15:06] and major strategic projects that citizens
[00:15:10] will feel and experience their impact during
[00:15:13] the coming years. The projects were
[00:15:16] distributed to support infrastructure in the health
[00:15:19] sector. Today, the President, with the Minister of Health,
[00:15:23] inaugurated the outpatient clinics
[00:15:26] Government Hospital. This step falls within a government
[00:15:30] strategy aimed at delivering natural gas to industrial
[00:15:33] areas across the Kingdom. The government
[00:15:37] has completed similar projects in South Aqaba,
[00:15:41] Al-Juwayra, Al-Qastal, and Al-Hashimiyya, while
[00:15:44] work continues on the Al-Rawda Industrial City and Al-Mojer
[00:15:47] projects in parallel with the completion of studies for the establishment
[00:15:50] of two new projects in King Hussein Development Zone
[00:15:54] in Mafraq and Zarqa. In the health
[00:15:57] sector, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new expansion project
[00:16:01] of Ma'an Government Hospital, which includes an outpatient
[00:16:05] clinics building and a blood bank covering an area exceeding
[00:16:08] 5,000 square meters, at a cost
[00:16:11] of approximately five million dinars. The new
[00:16:14] expansion aims to improve the level of medical services
[00:16:18] provided to the people of the governorate
[00:16:21] and provide a more efficient health environment
[00:16:24] for receiving patients. The Prime Minister praised
[00:16:27] the efforts of the Phosphate Company, which donated the cost
[00:16:31] of medical equipment, in addition to the contribution of the Potash
[00:16:35] Company in implementing some
[00:16:39] construction phases within the framework of social responsibilities
[00:16:42] and serving the local community.
[00:16:45] During a press conference after the Council
[00:16:49] of Ministers meeting in Ma'an Governorate, the Minister of Government
[00:16:52] Communication, the official spokesperson for the government, Dr. Muhammad
[00:16:57] will continue to follow up on projects in the governorate
[00:17:00] and work to allocate the related budgets
[00:17:03] and implementation plans and provide the necessary
[00:17:06] allocations for them. The Council also took a package of decisions
[00:17:09] to establish and support industrial
[00:17:13] and other decisions in education, energy, and the environment.
[00:17:17] Today's session is not
[00:17:20] just about presenting what
[00:17:22] we talked about in the previous session. We are
[00:17:25] presenting the progress of work and the completion
[00:17:31] was presented in the previous session of the Council of Ministers
[00:17:35] in Ma'an Governorate, but also we are talking about
[00:17:37] the next stage. The completion rate reached 81%, and thank
[00:17:40] God, 81% of what was proposed in the previous
[00:17:44] session of the Council of Ministers in Ma'an Governorate has been completed
[00:17:47] at a value of approximately a quarter billion dinars,
[00:17:50] 250 million. There was talk about many
[00:17:54] other projects, and I will delve into
[00:17:57] some of their details. The military hospital, God willing, will be completed
[00:18:01] by the end of 2027. There was talk about
[00:18:04] gardens, and this is an extremely important
[00:18:08] matter, brothers, and it directly reflects on
[00:18:11] the quality of life for citizens and visitors. The government,
[00:18:15] as you know, and the Prime Minister announced that it will build
[00:18:19] six gardens, including a garden in Ma'an Governorate.
[00:18:21] And these gardens conform
[00:18:24] to the specifications of the garden that was inaugurated in
[00:18:28] Mafraq city, and others or others in Al-Nashama
[00:18:32] Garden in Marj Al-Hamam area, God willing, will be completed
[00:18:35] during the year 2027 to be a recreational
[00:18:39] outlet for visitors, citizens, children, and youth. I would also
[00:18:43] like to point out that there is a comprehensive and immediate rehabilitation of
[00:18:47] the Teachers' Club building in Ma'an, which will be completed
[00:18:50] within three months as part of a plan to improve the infrastructure of Teachers'
[00:18:54] Clubs in various governorates at a cost of 3 million
[00:18:57] dinars, and the construction
[00:18:59] governorates that do not have them, as part of
[00:19:03] our commitment to supporting teachers and providing services to them.
[00:19:06] Today, the Council of Ministers approved the establishment of a development
[00:19:09] zone covering an area of 13,000 dunams owned by the State
[00:19:13] Treasury in the eastern Abu Amoud
[00:19:16] area in Ma'an Governorate for the establishment of three
[00:19:19] strategic industrial projects to produce phosphoric
[00:19:22] acid, pure phosphoric acid,
[00:19:25] and sulfuric acid, with
[00:19:28] the Jordanian Phosphate Mines Company being the main developer
[00:19:31] of this area. There was also an approval for the Ministry
[00:19:35] of Labor to apply a support mechanism.
[00:19:38] The productive branches program, what
[00:19:41] does this mean? This is the operation of local businesses in the Al-Rawda
[00:19:45] Industrial Zone in the development zone in Ma'an
[00:19:48] Governorate. Of course, it is among a set of different
[00:19:52] decisions. This decision is related to paying 50% of
[00:19:55] workers' wages, and paying transportation and social
[00:19:59] security wages, and supporting electricity prices for five
[00:20:02] years. The first two years at 75%,
[00:20:05] the following two years at 50%, and the last year
[00:20:07] at 25%. This is direct support to attract investments
[00:20:10] to this industrial city. There is another
[00:20:13] decision related to
[00:20:16] unifying the exemptions related to green
[00:20:20] hydrogen projects, for which, thank God, Jordan is one of the countries
[00:20:23] that is progressing rapidly in this regard. Unifying
[00:20:27] the exemptions and advantages between the Aqaba Special
[00:20:30] Economic Zone and other areas outside
[00:20:33] this zone. The Speaker of the Senate,
[00:20:36] Faisal Al-Fayez, sponsored
[00:20:40] of environmental justice in Jordan and its legal, economic, and social
[00:20:44] impact on individuals and communities. The study was prepared by
[00:20:47] the Regional Center for Energy and Climate Justice
[00:20:50] at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and the National Center for Environmental
[00:20:54] Justice. Al-Fayez affirmed that environmental justice is based on protecting
[00:20:58] citizens' right to a healthy and safe environment, stressing
[00:21:01] that environmental concern has become a major international
[00:21:05] concern for governments, international organizations, and civil
[00:21:08] society institutions.
[00:21:13] part of the environment they live in. They affect
[00:21:16] it and it affects them. Therefore,
[00:21:19] interest in the environment and addressing
[00:21:21] its challenges, especially those related to climate
[00:21:25] change, global warming,
[00:21:28] and air and water pollution,
[00:21:31] has become a major international concern for
[00:21:34] governments, international organizations,
[00:21:37] and civil society
[00:21:39] institutions. Environmental justice
[00:21:43] is no longer a theoretical concept,
[00:21:46] but a necessity to address climate change
[00:21:50] and resource scarcity. Achieving
[00:21:53] it requires partnership among all relevant parties
[00:21:57] and support for civil and official bodies and organizations
[00:22:00] that
[00:22:03] the environment to enable environmental justice to promote
[00:22:07] stability and comprehensive development.
[00:22:11] Two years of work in the health sector, projects,
[00:22:14] and procedures to expand capacity and improve access to
[00:22:18] specialized services and reduce waiting times,
[00:22:22] in parallel with the expansion of digital health and the strengthening
[00:22:25] of staff and infrastructure. From
[00:22:28] hospitals to health centers, the health sector has witnessed
[00:22:32] significant expansion in health services and facilities in all
[00:22:35] governorates of the Kingdom over the past two years.
[00:22:38] In the north of the Kingdom, Princess Basma Hospital
[00:22:41] was opened and developed with a capacity of 504
[00:22:45] beds, while the first phase of the expansion and modernization of Princess
[00:22:49] Iman Government Hospital was completed within seven months. In Madaba
[00:22:52] Governorate, the implementation of the new hospital project began after about 10
[00:22:56] years of delay, while an open heart surgery department
[00:23:00] was established and equipped at Zarqa Hospital. In the field
[00:23:03] of healthcare, the Ra'aya program for providing
[00:23:07] cancer treatment came into effect at the beginning of this year,
[00:23:10] covering about 4,200,000
[00:23:13] citizens at a cost of 132 million
[00:23:16] dinars. Digitally, telemedicine services have expanded,
[00:23:20] and approximately 49,000 patients have benefited from
[00:23:23] remote diagnostic imaging services, in addition to heart,
[00:23:27] endocrine, intensive care, nutrition, and dialysis
[00:23:30] services. Also, 14 new health centers
[00:23:33] were established, and 49 centers were rehabilitated and maintained
[00:23:37] in various governorates, in addition to the computerization
[00:23:40] of 156 additional health facilities,
[00:23:43] bringing the total number of computerized health facilities to 431
[00:23:46] facilities. The Ministry of Health
[00:23:50] is working to develop services and enhance
[00:23:53] the ability to provide its services more effectively
[00:23:56] to citizens. Over the past two years, many
[00:24:00] affiliated with the Ministry of Health have been opened,
[00:24:04] which have helped and enabled the Ministry of Health to improve
[00:24:07] its services. The number of beds increased by
[00:24:11] 10% over the past two years.
[00:24:14] The measures also included strengthening the drug stockpile and expanding
[00:24:17] home drug delivery services, and providing evening shifts in health
[00:24:21] centers surrounding Al-Bashir Hospital, Prince Faisal
[00:24:25] Hospital, and New Zarqa Hospital. At the field
[00:24:27] hospital in Amman, a dialysis unit with 40 beds,
[00:24:31] an intensive care unit with 44 beds,
[00:24:35] and an emergency department with 70 beds were established.
[00:24:38] Two new vaccines were also introduced into the national immunization
[00:24:42] program, and unified protocols for treating cancer, heart
[00:24:45] attacks, and strokes were launched. The Ministry of Health aims,
[00:24:49] through Royal directives and government
[00:24:52] directives, to provide a service
[00:24:56] in an ideal time, to provide a service
[00:24:59] that and citizen's
[00:25:03] burden of moving from one place
[00:25:06] to another, to provide a distinguished
[00:25:09] service. Between expanding facilities, digital transformation,
[00:25:12] and strengthening staff and services, projects to develop the health
[00:25:16] sector continue, with the aim of improving citizens' access to healthcare
[00:25:20] and reducing waiting times and the need to travel between
[00:25:23] governorates. Muhammad Al-Lawnsa, Jordanian Television.
[00:25:38] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the storming
[00:25:42] by the extremist Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
[00:25:44] and groups of extremist settlers
[00:25:47] of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Al-Haram Al-Sharif, under
[00:25:51] the protection of the occupation police. The official spokesperson
[00:25:54] for the ministry, Ambassador Fuad Al-Majali, affirmed
[00:25:57] the Kingdom's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the continued
[00:26:01] rejected incursions by ministers, officials, and extremist
[00:26:05] settlers, and their provocative practices, and the facilitation
[00:26:08] by the Israeli occupation police of the continuous incursions
[00:26:12] into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, considering them a flagrant violation
[00:26:15] of international law and international humanitarian law, and an absurd
[00:26:18] and unacceptable act aimed at imposing new realities.
[00:26:22] Al-Majali warned of the consequences of the continuation of these violations,
[00:26:26] stressing that Israel has no sovereignty over occupied East Jerusalem
[00:26:29] and its Islamic and Christian holy sites. He also called
[00:26:32] on the international community to take a firm international
[00:26:36] stance that obliges Israel, as the occupying power, to stop
[00:26:40] its violations and illegal
[00:26:44] and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and to stop all measures
[00:26:48] that restrict the access of worshippers
[00:26:49] to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
[00:26:55] While fears are increasing of an imminent humanitarian
[00:26:58] catastrophe, in light of thousands of families living in homes
[00:27:02] that are about to collapse due to the Israeli aggression
[00:27:06] on the Gaza Strip, the difficulties related to extracting the bodies
[00:27:10] of martyrs from under the rubble continue, with a severe
[00:27:13] shortage of equipment designated
[00:27:16] for this purpose. Fears are escalating of a new humanitarian
[00:27:20] catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, with displaced
[00:27:23] people living inside buildings that are about to collapse.
[00:27:26] In a related context, the government media office
[00:27:29] in Gaza said that thousands of displaced people are living inside
[00:27:33] damaged and threatened buildings due to the absence
[00:27:37] of alternatives and safe shelters, adding that
[00:27:40] the fate of dozens of women and children remains
[00:27:44] matter
[00:27:47] things, the lack of capabilities
[00:27:51] and the siege. Official agencies are struggling
[00:27:53] to deal with these incidents and disasters.
[00:27:57] This coincided with the continued suffering of extracting bodies.
[00:28:00] Palestinian Civil Defense teams confirmed that they
[00:28:04] have recovered 96 bodies and human remains
[00:28:07] from one location in the Zaytoun neighborhood. Among
[00:28:11] the bodies and remains that were recovered, there were
[00:28:14] 58 children and 23 women.
[00:28:18] Most of the remains were recovered using bare
[00:28:21] hands, while Israel continues
[00:28:24] to refuse to allow the entry of heavy
[00:28:27] machinery needed to remove
[00:28:31] 8 bodies still under the rubble
[00:28:35] distributed over more than 300 buildings in the Gaza
[00:28:38] Strip. The teams are intervening
[00:28:41] on the ground in partnership with the International Committee
[00:28:44] of the Red Cross to extract rescue. This is, of course,
[00:28:48] a tiring, exhausting,
[00:28:51] and financially, physically, and psychologically costly
[00:28:55] task for civil defense crews. For his part,
[00:28:58] the UN High Commissioner for Human
[00:29:03] to press for enhanced cooperation and coordination to ensure
[00:29:06] the retrieval of bodies from all parts of Gaza
[00:29:09] as quickly as
[00:29:11] possible.
[00:29:14] Statements continue to be exchanged between Washington
[00:29:18] the region, in the absence of a diplomatic horizon
[00:29:21] capable of sparing the region and the world further escalation
[00:29:25] and economic repercussions, despite the efforts of mediators to contain
[00:29:29] the situation and bridge the gap, in the hope
[00:29:32] of resolving the differences between the two sides.
[00:29:36] Field and diplomatic developments continue on more than
[00:29:40] one front since the outbreak of military confrontation between the United
[00:29:43] States of America and Iran, amidst regional
[00:29:47] and international efforts to limit the expansion of
[00:29:50] the conflict. The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher
[00:29:54] Ghalibaf, confirmed that Tehran had conveyed to Washington its conditions
[00:29:58] for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and that it would not open
[00:30:01] the Strait until its conditions were met and American
[00:30:04] obligations were fulfilled, adding that Iran
[00:30:07] must fight and negotiate at the same time. This
[00:30:11] comes a day after statements made by the Secretary of the Supreme National
[00:30:15] Security Council of Iran, Mohsen Rezaei, in which he revealed
[00:30:19] that his country had conveyed through mediators to Washington its preconditions
[00:30:23] for resuming talks, which
[00:30:25] include ending the war on all fronts and lifting
[00:30:31] Iranian ports. Meanwhile, the
[00:30:34] Iranian armed forces stated in a statement that Tehran
[00:30:38] had received information indicating that the United States was preparing
[00:30:41] to resume combat operations. This
[00:30:44] comes after statements by US President Donald
[00:30:48] Trump, in which he confirmed that
[00:30:51] the war with Iran, where he must make
[00:30:55] a decision regarding resuming large-scale attacks
[00:30:58] in an attempt
