[00:04:51] of military spokesman claimed that Saudi warplanes targeted
[00:04:54] of areas in tas

[00:05:06] Now we have been joined by MRE Dinner
[00:05:08] a journalist and foreign policy expert from Istanbul discuss the regional
[00:05:12] tensions and efforts for de-escalation. Welcome to Pakistan TV miss
[00:05:16] and diving right in we see that once again the uh escalation
[00:05:20] has taken place between Iran and US as well and Pakistan's
[00:05:24] role has always been of mediator and Pakistan is making its
[00:05:27] foremost efforts in
[00:05:29] the in this same regard. your comments on that and on the recent
[00:05:32] escalation. the fighting
[00:05:36] between the His and Saudi Arabia
[00:05:39] has intense intensified. bringing
[00:05:43] renew tension to the region and you know
[00:05:47] we we need to look the brother picture I think and
[00:05:51] because Riad needs more than simply to impose
[00:05:55] a cost a cost on
[00:05:58] the cs it need to be establish and
[00:06:02] an agreement that prevents future attacks
[00:06:06] also if more targets are being struck
[00:06:10] in Yemen while attacks on. these cities
[00:06:13] continue uh then the military
[00:06:16] response has yet to deliver a political
[00:06:20] outc for me
[00:06:23] and remember that the planned meeting between Iran
[00:06:27] and the gulf states in Oman and it was
[00:06:30] postent and yesterday and that is where
[00:06:34] we should begin - and we we we
[00:06:38] combined all the events to this meeting I
[00:06:42] think. and this is not to mean
[00:06:45] diplomacy has completely collapsed, but it
[00:06:48] clearly demonstrates how
[00:06:51] deep
[00:06:53] the the mistrust between the parties runs and
[00:06:56] so the gulf states one to the strite
[00:07:00] of Urmus to remain open without
[00:07:03] politicial political conditions and
[00:07:07] Iran however sees Hurmus as
[00:07:11] more than a militar. passage and for Tahran
[00:07:15] the street is an important b to in the
[00:07:18] negations for sections and security
[00:07:22] guarantees and the feature the regional conflict
[00:07:25] and I don't believe Iran's realistic objective is
[00:07:29] to close hermus completely for an extended
[00:07:33] period and suggests decisions
[00:07:37] would also seriously damage to Iran economy and instead
[00:07:41] Tahran is seeking. and seeking
[00:07:44] political and conventions by slowing
[00:07:47] maritime traffic, increasing and insources and shipping
[00:07:51] cost and putting putting
[00:07:55] upward pressure on oil
[00:07:58] prise. moving on, the
[00:08:02] UN security council is said to me today after Yamenhooti's last week
[00:08:06] seized control the country's red sea coast and the balbel mandab
[00:08:09] straight. France, which holds the Presidency the security
[00:08:13] council this month requested the meeting to be held at in New
[00:08:17] York. Babel Mandab is vital shipping corridor linking Europe
[00:08:21] and Asia while the Red Sea that has become vital as
[00:08:25] the wider US addon war chokes the straight of
[00:08:27] farmus.
[00:08:31] US President Donald Trump has said Iran wants to reach an
[00:08:35] agreement with Washington quickly while Tehran said
[00:08:38] it is currently not seeking negotiations with the US. In opposed to
[00:08:42] social Donald Trump said Iran wants to make deal and that
[00:08:46] he would decide whether Washington would engage with Tehran.
[00:08:50] Iranian officials however told tasnim news that Tehran
[00:08:54] currently does not seek negotiations with the US. The
[00:08:57] contrasting positions calmas tensions remain high over the conflict and the
[00:09:01] straight of Hermus, vital route for global energy supplies and
[00:09:05] commercial
[00:09:06] shipping.
[00:09:10] Earlier Sayid Faisal Ali shah. political analyst spoke to Pakistan
[00:09:14] TV from Washington DC to discuss the US president Donald Trump's
[00:09:17] claim that Iran wants a deal with Washington while Tehran
[00:09:21] denies seeking negotiations with the US
[00:09:24] out that is also a complex
[00:09:27] thing when US
[00:09:31] energy secretary Scott Becent
[00:09:34] is also been criticized by US media
[00:09:38] because in all this period of time the
[00:09:42] biggest. thing that we all never seen in
[00:09:46] the name of diplomacy that is US department of state, the face of us diplomacy, that
[00:09:49] is nowhere anywhere, you might have never seen any
[00:09:53] statement by us department of state, that is the face of us diplomacy,
[00:09:57] nothing comes from there, all the other things they
[00:10:00] the advisers are doing that from
[00:10:04] tops are doing that, but that is something not considered as diplomacy,
[00:10:08] so when from us side it's nothing from
[00:10:12] serious diplomatic channel then Iranian side will never take it
[00:10:16] serious and we are not like observing
[00:10:20] anything diplomatic or diplomatic room in this type of
[00:10:24] limbo it's limboos. situation and we did seen like present Donald
[00:10:27] Trump University v and his son they
[00:10:31] went to Russia for some dialogues and they've been
[00:10:35] criticized by US media like what
[00:10:38] profiles they are carrying they are not diplomats they don't have any the
[00:10:42] year so if those people are still the US priority to engage with
[00:10:46] Iran then Iranians will never take it as any
[00:10:50] serious position of United States to consider it so
[00:10:54] with these uh type of like with this limbo situation at least we must
[00:10:57] say we are not observing anything soon from the US
[00:11:01] side that there is are for diplomacy. indeed
[00:11:05] just today US sentcom rejected Iraniann claims
[00:11:09] of projectile
[00:11:11] hit a vessel while passing through state of herms so one
[00:11:15] thing that is the peace at least not peace like there
[00:11:19] must be no more attacks in the harmus there must
[00:11:22] be at least just building mas both
[00:11:26] sides, we are not witnessing anything on both sides, both
[00:11:30] sides have doubts on each other,
[00:11:34] and from the previous Iranian experience with the US,
[00:11:38] almost three times, they've been born the middle of diplomacy, so they are
[00:11:42] not observing anything like diplomatic roam or
[00:11:46] diplomacy, they are not getting any chance, i think
[00:11:49] so, iran
[00:11:53] security chief has rejected any talks with the US until Tehran's
[00:11:56] conditions are met a post on x secretary of Iran supreme
[00:12:00] National Security Council Mohen Rizay said that don't get destructed by
[00:12:04] the US president's mixed signals from new negotiations
[00:12:08] to we are ready to talk he said that the stakes around oil and the
[00:12:12] states have changed and damage control would not stop what's
[00:12:16] coming.
