[00:00:00] uh like the 500 diplomats, and
[00:00:04] I think we we are
[00:00:05] in a crisis,
[00:00:06] you know, I
[00:00:07] of of mean, I think what what contains this particular
[00:00:11] question
[00:00:12] of of of Israel, Palestine, the
[00:00:14] genocide, it is taking place in the
[00:00:18] context that the entire international law
[00:00:21] is questioned, I mean if the president
[00:00:24] of the United States says he does not need
[00:00:27] a international law, if
[00:00:30] of you know... "the
[00:00:31] of entire body of of law is not
[00:00:33] of being uphold, you can make sanctions against the ICC
[00:00:37] for ruling on something which is absolutely in their
[00:00:41] duty and and obligation to rule, we are looking a
[00:00:45] of lawless situation, and I think that is why I have been
[00:00:49] arguing for the last several years
[00:00:52] of of that we urgently need new international security architecture,
[00:00:56] because international law and the the order as..."
[00:01:00] emerged after the end
[00:01:02] of the cold war, where there was an attempt to establish an
[00:01:05] unilateral dominance of certain
[00:01:08] countries, that clearly is falling apart, if
[00:01:12] you look at the so-called middle east, southwest asia, the
[00:01:16] entire security architecture, as it existed
[00:01:19] before the United States and Israel started the two
[00:01:23] wars against Iran is also disintegrating,
[00:01:27] so for the for southeast Asia. "there is an urgent need
[00:01:31] to have new security
[00:01:33] of architecture, which you
[00:01:35] must
[00:01:37] be, you know, guaranteeing naturally the rights
[00:01:40] of the Palestinians, a Palestinian
[00:01:43] state, it must provide however economic
[00:01:47] development for all countries, because the only name for
[00:01:51] peace is development, so I think that we are
[00:01:54] in a an unbelievable
[00:01:56] of tool where people have to review that the policies"
[00:02:00] which existed up to now clearly have
[00:02:03] failed, the order has fallen apart, the new
[00:02:07] order is not yet there, but I think
[00:02:11] the the the everything has to start with the idea that
[00:02:15] international law must be uphold, this is why the
[00:02:18] UN charter must be respected, the
[00:02:21] of Geneva Convention, the instruments
[00:02:27] of of the UN like of the ICC and the International Court of Justice,
[00:02:29] the they must be respected
[00:02:32] of as of absolute authority, because otherwise we are in great
[00:02:36] danger of falling into anarchy on the whole
[00:02:39] of globe. absolutely, miss Helga Zepla Rush,
[00:02:42] in founder Shilla Institute, thank you very much for being with us on this episode of
[00:02:46] in unfold, we really appreciate you taking time out. Sarah, coming back to you one last question,
[00:02:50] talk about the diet humanitarian crisis that has been
[00:02:54] of unfolding in Gaza in
[00:02:55] a particular, now we know for fact there
[00:02:59] haven't... been ample supplies when it
[00:03:02] of comes to the medicines, also when we talk
[00:03:05] about the lack of access to the clean drinking
[00:03:08] of water, from the very basic communities
[00:03:10] of of life over there, with with the kind of given
[00:03:14] approach on the part
[00:03:15] of the Europeans in the kind of approach and the strategy in the Trump administration
[00:03:19] as well, and also how Israelies have been
[00:03:23] going about in order to criticize and also coming hard
[00:03:27] on what the UN, UN's policy and its
[00:03:31] subsidiary agencies work in Gaza was
[00:03:35] of concerned, what is the way forward when it comes to
[00:03:38] alleviating the suffering
[00:03:40] of the gazons amid this entire humanitarian
[00:03:43] crisis? Egypt of course has a great roll
[00:03:47] in that, Egypt along with other arab countries and
[00:03:51] of Israel of course has been pushing backward our
[00:03:54] all of our efforts to push inward the
[00:03:58] supplies and the humanitarian aid for our flow
[00:04:02] of palestinians in and there has been push and pull uh
[00:04:06] between us um on the
[00:04:09] of of borders especially across the raf the rafa crossing
[00:04:13] border and we have managed to get into to get the supplies and
[00:04:17] the aid into the gas for the
[00:04:21] palestinian people and we're still actually pushing
[00:04:24] with the sharp
[00:04:26] of shake peace plan and um we do
[00:04:30] need more international society pressure on
[00:04:33] Israel, that's why we do need the EU and more
[00:04:37] pressure
[00:04:38] of on the Israely part
[00:04:39] of because we're talk we're talking about
[00:04:42] very small area of land the Gaza strip and the it's
[00:04:46] of totally destructed with 1 million a half people
[00:04:49] among dead bodies on the
[00:04:53] sides and only the sea in front
[00:04:56] of them, only the Mediterranean in front
[00:04:59] of them so... Egypt as a state has been pushing and
[00:05:02] pushing with our efforts, diplomatic efforts and we have
[00:05:06] managed to get
[00:05:08] a some um infrastructure tools and
[00:05:12] workers and so to rebuild gaza, but we do
[00:05:16] need more international society pressure, especially today
[00:05:20] with Trump, jeopardizing world peace with the Iranian
[00:05:23] war, and not only that, also
[00:05:26] threatening international court of justice today and and
[00:05:30] and threating that that there would be no such
[00:05:34] authority in the world threatening that there would be
[00:05:37] no international law in the world, so
[00:05:41] god knows what? happen with 1 million and a half people in Gaza, only the
[00:05:45] sea in front them with no more international
[00:05:49] society pressure on Israel to have those people still
[00:05:52] alive on their land. Masara Kira,
[00:05:56] expert international relations, founder the European North African center for research, thank you
[00:06:00] very much for taking time out for unfold tonight, we really appreciate that with that we
[00:06:04] come to the end the first segment of today's show, into
[00:06:08] the second segment we are going to understand what is exact
[00:06:11] exactly. happening when it comes to the US Iran
[00:06:15] conflict is concerned, we know for fact that Washington has decided to
[00:06:18] postpone any fresh strikes against Iran until after the
[00:06:22] midterm elections, also when we talk about
[00:06:26] there
[00:06:27] are there are increased attacks by the Houti rebels against Kingdom of Saudi
[00:06:30] Arabia, kingdom of Saudi Arabia has befittingly
[00:06:34] responded to this particular aggression on the part of Futi
[00:06:38] rebels, also that commitment of standing
[00:06:42] behind the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, coming from
[00:06:45] Pakistan as well as Turkey, all these three
[00:06:49] countries entered into a mutual defense agreement,
[00:06:53] Makka defense agreement and Pakistan has
[00:06:56] already deployed its troops over there, that has
[00:07:00] been confirmed by the DJI SPR, also Pakistan's commitment when it
[00:07:04] comes to ensuring the sovereignty territory integrity and overall
[00:07:08] security the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we know for fact both turkey.
[00:07:13] and Pakistan had given that applause
[00:07:17] when it comes to the vigilance and preparedness of kingdom of Saudi Arabia in
[00:07:20] dealing and thouting this threat by the auti rebels. Also we
[00:07:24] know for fact there was already a destruction as far as the straight of homos
[00:07:28] concerned also uncertainity around Red
[00:07:32] Sea as well as Babel Mander. We have already seen the
[00:07:35] consequences all around the globe in terms the economic
[00:07:39] consequences. Also with the increased oil prices. rising
[00:07:43] shipping costs also manifesting into
[00:07:46] inflation, at the same time we have
[00:07:50] seen the regional countries trying their utmost in order to
[00:07:53] bring the situation back to some sort
[00:07:57] of normalcy through the diplomatic intervention. we know for
[00:08:01] fact Pakistan played a pivoted role when it came to deescalating the situation
[00:08:05] between Iran and the US. its commitment on one
[00:08:08] side with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, security also urging
[00:08:13] for the deescalation the situation, what does that
[00:08:16] exactly means and what are the chances of diplomacy taking
[00:08:20] precedence or lead in comparison to the military
[00:08:24] escalation? that is the key question we are going to understand, for that we
[00:08:27] are on to been joined by Mr. Joe Hoodd, former
[00:08:31] acting secretary of state for near Eastern
[00:08:34] affairs. Mr. Hood, thank you very much for being with us on the show
[00:08:38] tonight, really appreciate that. Also we are honored to being joined.
[00:08:42] Dr. Steven Turner, he is analyst geopolitical Affairs, Dr. Turner, thank you very
[00:08:46] much for your time also for being with us on the show tonight, really appreciate
[00:08:50] that ambassador. I'll begin with you,
[00:08:54] what sense should we be making of this
[00:08:58] decision on the part of Washington to postpone the new
[00:09:01] strikes against Iran until after the midterm
[00:09:04] elections? Well, thank you for having me. I
[00:09:08] think that Donald Trump wants to do a couple of things. First, he wants to
[00:09:11] remind the regime in Tehran that military
[00:09:14] action is still an option and that they
[00:09:18] should um consider that in terms their
[00:09:21] diplomacy, and second, I think he wants to
[00:09:25] make sure that the American public and the oil markets understand
[00:09:29] that he's not going to do anything that's going to cause
[00:09:33] uh oil prices to spike even temporarily between now and
[00:09:37] the final day the election on November 3rd,
[00:09:41] because most... are not following the day-to-day of
[00:09:45] this war, um, you see interviews of people on the street in
[00:09:49] various media outlets and some the people
[00:09:52] are only vaguely aware that there is a war with
[00:09:55] Iran, but what they're very aware of is how much they're spending
[00:09:59] to put gasoline in their vehicles every day, you know, Americans
[00:10:03] drive average about 50 kilometers a day to get to
[00:10:07] work, so this is something that American voters feel very
[00:10:11] acutely and...
[00:10:13] so Donald Trump is not going to
[00:10:14] want to do anything that's going to cause them to uh
[00:10:18] feel more pain at the gasoline pump uh before
[00:10:21] they go to the elections for the uh Congress
[00:10:25] and the Senate on November 3rd. Please do
[00:10:29] correct me if I am wrong. I I watched one the clips of Mr.
[00:10:33] President Donald Trump when you was asked about the
[00:10:37] question regarding the diesel coming from from Russia. Now
[00:10:41] is thank President Putin on that particular front. Is that
[00:10:44] correct and what sort of an impact it is going to have when it comes to
[00:10:48] President Trump saying that there is lot of oil that is going to
[00:10:52] come in America in the coming days. "do you think it's going to
[00:10:56] have
[00:10:56] a considerable relief for the citizens and could perhaps
[00:10:59] sway in in the general public
[00:11:03] opinion when it comes to the lowest approval ratings for president Donald Trump just
[00:11:06] before the November midterm elections? sure
[00:11:10] the answer is no, this is not enough diesel to
[00:11:14] make any effect on the world market
[00:11:18] and prices in the United States are set by world market prices,
[00:11:22] not by simply what supply we have. inside the
[00:11:26] United States, so um, I think if the
[00:11:29] president was hoping to have an effect on the
[00:11:33] futures trading and and the price of diesel from day to
[00:11:36] day, that has already failed, and I don't
[00:11:40] think that these deliveries of diesel are going
[00:11:43] to have enough time even to have an effect on the
[00:11:46] market, because voting is already underway,
[00:11:50] most states allow some form of early
[00:11:53] voting, absent. voting uh, so lot of Americans
[00:11:57] have already casted their ballots or are getting ready to do so in
[00:12:01] the next couple of weeks, so even if uh these
[00:12:05] deliveries were to have an effect sometime toward the end of October, that
[00:12:09] probably would be too late for many voters. Exactly, your point is well
[00:12:13] taken, please stay with us ambassadorhood, let me bring in Dr. Turner into the
[00:12:16] discussion also. Dr. Turner, what's your understanding when we try to analyze as
[00:12:20] to what are the stakes with the for the Donald Trump
[00:12:24] said? administration, at this point in time, just before
[00:12:28] the midterm elections happen in November with Iran
[00:12:32] conflict is concerned,
[00:12:35] well, the Trump administration
[00:12:38] is running scared at this point, I mean the the Republican
[00:12:42] Party is anticipating major losses in the elections for
[00:12:46] both the US House of Representatives and for the US
[00:12:49] senate, and so the president is trying to find a way
[00:12:53] to minimize those losses. not try to make some gains
[00:12:57] by making even his foreign policy geared toward uh lowering
[00:13:00] gas prices, that's
[00:13:02] a very strange way to be acting um at least - for example
[00:13:06] if i were in the military a forward deployed um
[00:13:10] naval vessel or a base around Iran and I heard the president
[00:13:13] say that he was not going to strike Iran until the
[00:13:17] middle of November uh because the elections I would
[00:13:21] be very concerned because in the meantime it kind of gives the
[00:13:25] Iranian military and the IRGC an opportunity to build up their
[00:13:29] capacity to launch to launch attacks, to put things in motion
[00:13:32] and even to launch attacks with without the threat the United
[00:13:36] States um being willing to strike back, and that's very confusing,
[00:13:40] I mean I don't believe that if Iran were to strike a US base then the United
[00:13:44] States would refrain from striking back, but to try to
[00:13:47] put the the war in between the United States and Iran in the
[00:13:50] context of uh election campaigning is is
[00:13:54] very... very weird,
[00:13:56] and further more, the efforts to,
[00:13:59] lower the price of diesel by buying diesel or
[00:14:03] allowing Russia to sell diesel to the global
[00:14:07] market, and a time when europe is a war with
[00:14:10] Russia, fighting against Ukraine, and the United States
[00:14:14] is at war with Iran who's also receiving intelligence and support from
[00:14:18] Russia is very strange, because it it
[00:14:20] effectively aiding the enemy a war where we're
[00:14:24] fighting again. Russia is not an all the United
[00:14:27] States, these are these are very interesting choices to be
[00:14:31] making coming up, coming up to an election from foreign policy
[00:14:34] stand. Dr. Turn, that is exactly the point I'm
[00:14:38] curious to understand you about, when it comes to president Donald
[00:14:42] Trump talking often thanking President Putin for sending in the
[00:14:46] diesel, now there was an earlier stance when it comes to Trump's
[00:14:50] administration regarding Russian oil, more specifically when
[00:14:53] we talk about India. "now he had been saying
[00:14:57] about it that that oil was actually fueling the Ukraine
[00:15:01] war. now at this point in time is thanking president
[00:15:05] Putin for sending in the diesel, so with this
[00:15:08] contradiction, do you how do you think it's going to play out for the
[00:15:11] voters just when they are about to go for the
[00:15:15] midterm elections? well,
[00:15:19] the the voting public in the United States is very polarized, um, and that's
[00:15:22] by design, so I..." I'm certain that the you
[00:15:26] know people that um are opposed to the current administration are
[00:15:30] going to take these statements and become further infuriated by
[00:15:34] them and and it'll help galvanize them to to vote against him. but
[00:15:38] his supporters, if they're even going to be, if
[00:15:41] if the media that reports um that is
[00:15:45] washed by Trump supporters, even reports on these issues, they will minimize
[00:15:49] them or change them so that it plays well well
[00:15:53] for them, so I mean the reality is
[00:15:57] less important in the in in when it comes to campaigning
[00:16:01] than the way that the campaigners are able to
[00:16:03] spin, right, coming back to
[00:16:07] you and... ambassador hood, when we try to analyze Trump administration's
[00:16:10] policy ever since this invasion happened on 28th of
[00:16:14] February, is there any specified pattern that
[00:16:18] we can develop after looking at what President Trump has done on
[00:16:21] this front or do we see back and forth
[00:16:25] contradictions and statements and actions and do you see any
[00:16:28] any aspect the entire strategy working out?
[00:16:32] because clearly we see Iranians rejecting any sort of a
[00:16:36] pressure. rejecting any sort of
[00:16:39] military pressure or coversion, yet on the
[00:16:43] other side the remain open to dialogue, but not under
[00:16:47] pressure and coersion, so if this sort
[00:16:50] of a strategy or pattern of strategy on the Trump
[00:16:54] part of Trump Trump's administration did not work out throughout so
[00:16:58] far, so how do you think this
[00:17:01] policy of maximum pressure gonna work out in future and
[00:17:05] how he is going to... get something out of it to
[00:17:09] show to the public that at the end the day that he had got some sort of
[00:17:13] victory. well, as career diplomat
[00:17:16] i would disagree with you. i don't see any signs that the regime is
[00:17:20] ready for dialogue. what they're ready for is
[00:17:24] capitulation, and that is true of President Trump as
[00:17:27] well. uh, that's why we see them issuing uh
[00:17:31] seven-point statements about all the things the United States needs to
[00:17:35] do in order for Iran. then to enter into uh
[00:17:39] discussions again, and these include uh things
[00:17:43] that are, I think normal and reasonable for a
[00:17:47] dialogue, which would be unfreezing uh
[00:17:50] Iran's frozen assets uh
[00:17:53] and stopping the naval blockade
[00:17:57] in exchange for Iran no longer firing on commercial
[00:18:01] ships in those waters, uh, but it
[00:18:05] also includes completely ridiculous uh requirements such
[00:18:09] as ending the war on all fronts, and what they mean
[00:18:12] by that, as we've discovered after the demise the
[00:18:16] memorandum of understanding, is that Israel has to stop
[00:18:20] fighting hisbollah, the Lebanese government has to stop fighting
[00:18:24] Hezballah, the Iraqi government has to stop fighting Iran's
[00:18:28] militias there, the regime
[00:18:31] in in in
[00:18:34] the the Huti regime in Yemen needs to be.
[00:18:38] in
[00:18:38] that country, this
[00:18:39] is ridiculous, I mean the United States
[00:18:42] government cannot speak for all these
[00:18:46] other sovereign governments when it makes a deal with
[00:18:50] Iran, and that's exactly what Iran is demanding in order to
[00:18:53] move to an actual diplomatic
[00:18:56] discussion, so those are all that's just non those are
[00:19:00] non-starters, so I don't think
[00:19:02] that the Iranians are actually ready for
[00:19:04] dialogue. signed mou,
[00:19:08] although it fell apart the Islamabad memorandum of
[00:19:12] understanding, but the Yemen front was pretty much part of that and the
[00:19:16] US pretty much agreed to that, wasn't that the
[00:19:19] case? no, those were separate things, it was
[00:19:23] the Lebanon, I seek your pardon, it was the Lebanon, Lebanon
[00:19:26] front, again, no, I
[00:19:30] think that President Trump fully intens
[00:19:33] on the...
[00:19:38] of governments like Israel or Lebanon or Iraq
[00:19:42] in taking over the uh full
[00:19:46] sovereignty their own countries. I don't think any
[00:19:50] American president would stand in the way of that,
[00:19:54] so I think for the Iranians to be demanding that, they know that that's a
[00:19:57] non-starter, and I think it shows that they're just not serious about
[00:20:01] a real conversation, a real discussion with the United States government
[00:20:05] about a long-term Motus Vivendi. so so
[00:20:09] so as per your understanding, given this assessment of
[00:20:12] yours, what is behind this, what is
[00:20:16] at, what is the motivation when it comes to Iran's government's
[00:20:20] approach towards this whole crisis concerned, why are they serious for
[00:20:24] your understanding when it comes to the serious negotiations or
[00:20:28] striking any sort of sustainable agreement with the US is
[00:20:31] concerned, well I have the
[00:20:34] interesting opportunity of
[00:20:37] sitting with Iranian commentators in various media
[00:20:41] platforms and I've been doing so over the past six
[00:20:44] months on regular basis. Now we know that these
[00:20:48] commentators generally receive. their talking points from the revolutionary guard,
[00:20:52] so what we hear from them, I think we can understand as being
[00:20:56] representative the viewpoint the guard, and what
[00:21:00] I've heard from them consistently is, you lost, we
[00:21:03] won, you need to accept that, leave the region and we
[00:21:07] take over, we own the straight of horm now, we
[00:21:11] have hegemany where you have lost it, this
[00:21:15] is like the suez moment for the United Kingdom,
[00:21:19] they used to be the... security guarantor the region, then it had to pass to the
[00:21:23] United States, now it's passing to us, Iran.
[00:21:27] That's the very clear message, and I don't think anyone in the
[00:21:30] world frankly signs up to that, which is
[00:21:34] why there hasn't been any government in the world that has put out statements
[00:21:38] supportive of Tehran's positions. Right, ambassador
[00:21:42] Hood, let me take this very interesting point to Dr. Turner also, Dr.
[00:21:46] Turner, what's your assessment, are the Iranians?
[00:21:50] to enter into negotiations for any sustainable agreement with the US and also
[00:21:53] do you do you think if the Iranians
[00:21:57] consider it swis canal moment for for them
[00:22:01] with
[00:22:01] the we the straight of homose crisis? well i
[00:22:05] can certainly see why the Iranian government consider to have
[00:22:09] won the conflict at least at this stage, the united states has not
[00:22:13] been able to stop them from blocking the straight of war moves, um they
[00:22:17] haven't been able to get the Iranians to stop ' shooting missiles
[00:22:21] and rockets at their gulf neighbors or at American military
[00:22:24] bases, and even though the United States and and Israel have
[00:22:28] destroyed um, much of
[00:22:30] Iran's um air force and and
[00:22:34] long long um distance military
[00:22:38] capabilities and most likely it's you know it's nuclear
[00:22:41] program, Iran has pulled the trump card and by even
[00:22:45] just threatening to block the street of for moves they've put they've effectively
[00:22:49] imposed cripling. sanctions on the global economy, especially the United States.
[00:22:53] I mean, the Trump administration strategy of imposing further sanctions
[00:22:57] is not really going to move the needle at all. The United States has been imposing sanctions
[00:23:01] on the Islamic Republic since 1979, it's
[00:23:05] over 45 years. The only way that the United States really
[00:23:08] could expect to change the outcome the
[00:23:12] situation is by um
[00:23:15] significantly increasing the scope the conflict, and I don't think the
[00:23:19] United State. currently is willing to do anything the like the sort, so
[00:23:23] really Iran has no need um to set
[00:23:27] realistic um negotiations, I mean they know the
[00:23:31] United States has been negotiating with them for several decades, it knows
[00:23:34] what the Iranian regime wants, and until the United States
[00:23:38] is ready to give Iran those things, Iran
[00:23:42] has no need to change the way it's been acting, doesn't have reason
[00:23:46] to to lift the blockade the blockade, it doesn't have a...
[00:23:50] reason to negotiate in good faith,
[00:23:53] so you'll see,
[00:23:55] I mean Iran can sit out, can continue this situation
[00:23:58] and keep the status quo for years if it needs to, the
[00:24:02] they have no reason. right,
[00:24:06] Dr. Stephen Turner, analyst geopolitical affairs, thank you very much for taking time out for unfold
[00:24:10] tonight, we appreciate that, one last question, I
[00:24:14] mean, whatever is happening, I
[00:24:16] understand from you are coming,
[00:24:20] "all of those point make huge sense, do we understand
[00:24:24] any the regional mediators including Pakistan which played a pivot
[00:24:28] role when it came to the signing of Islamabad mou, also
[00:24:32] lot of efforts being put in by Qatar, Egypt, also lot
[00:24:36] of emphasis on the part of Turkey, is there any sort of
[00:24:39] leverage with any these mediators to perhaps bring
[00:24:43] back both the sides once again to the negotiating
[00:24:47] table or what would it take for them to do?" "
[00:24:52] that I think there is, I think that all sides now
[00:24:55] are uh waiting to see what happens with the mid-term elections and the elections in
[00:24:59] Israel, Iran wants to have as much influence
[00:25:03] over those as possible, Donald Trump wants to limit his losses as much as
[00:25:07] he can, so I don't think anything is going to be possible
[00:25:11] between now and then uh the Iranians may try to
[00:25:14] stage uh more spectacular attacks in order to continue driving
[00:25:18] up the price of oil,
[00:25:19] I would... expect that uh possibly expanding uh
[00:25:22] westward uh to not just to the Red Sea but
[00:25:26] the northern and southern parts the Sweez canal as well
[00:25:30] possibly, but um I think that after
[00:25:33] that Pakistan, Qatar and the other countries the region
[00:25:37] certainly could go to the UN security council and try to do something
[00:25:40] bold and get a UN security council approved
[00:25:44] resolution uh that would allow for naval
[00:25:48] peace monitoring mission. This is not a peacekeeping mission, but a peace
[00:25:52] monitoring mission that would go into the Gulf and into the Northern Arabian
[00:25:55] sea, and that would make it difficult
[00:25:59] for Iran or Donald Trump to say that they... still need
[00:26:02] to uh have naval blockade or in Iran's
[00:26:06] case continue to hit commercial shipping, that peace monitoring mission
[00:26:10] could say, we're here, we'll make sure there's nothing threatening on either
[00:26:14] side the straight, you two need to stop uh
[00:26:18] threatening each other and now go back to the negotiating table, I don't know
[00:26:22] if it would work, but this is wonderful thing, ambassador
[00:26:25] hood, you you answer to this, the
[00:26:28] prospect of this such resolution passing through and...
[00:26:32] standing through the veto power the US, do you think it would be able to stand
[00:26:36] that once it goes to the UN security council? yes or
[00:26:40] no, I think it would be very difficult for the United States government to oppose
[00:26:43] it and certainly I think China would be very much in favor of it,
[00:26:47] so uh and that's something we don't see very much these
[00:26:51] days. Thank you so very much, Mr.
[00:26:55] Ambassador Jood, former acting secretary of state for near Eastern
[00:26:58] affairs, it was plaving you on the show tonight, really appreciate that. you

[00:27:09] ourselves,
