[00:00:00] Saudi airports, including Ababa International Airport came under
[00:00:03] attack. This was nothing new. The
[00:00:07] Yemini Resistance movement has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to
[00:00:10] reach deep inside Saudi Arabia. In
[00:00:14] September 2019, its drone strike on the apkaik and
[00:00:17] kurase oil facilities exposed the vulnerability of Saudi
[00:00:21] Aramco despite billions of dollars worth of American-made air defense
[00:00:25] systems. Now the resistance movement warns that any new
[00:00:29] attack on infrastructure could bring even
[00:00:32] more strategic targets into range, including the vital
[00:00:35] oil facilities at yanbu. Today,
[00:00:38] more than 70% of Saudi oil exports bypass the straight of
[00:00:42] Hormus through pipelines to Yanbu on the Red Sea, but from
[00:00:46] there they must still pass through the Bob Almandab
[00:00:49] straight. If that route is closed, Saudi Arabia's
[00:00:52] alternative export corridor disappears. Ansarula
[00:00:56] has already shown it can disrupt one of the world's busiest maritime choke points.
[00:01:00] Since the outbreak of the Gaza War in 2023, it has launched
[00:01:04] attacks in the Red Sea, declaring that it would target vessels linked
[00:01:08] to Israel in support of the Palestinians.
[00:01:12] The Red Sea operations have forced major shipping companies to re-root
[00:01:15] around Southern Africa, increased global transport costs
[00:01:19] and pushed Israel's southern port of ilot, the brink of
[00:01:22] collapse. If both the straight of Hormus and Bob
[00:01:26] Almandab were closed at the same time, nearly a quarter of the... the world's
[00:01:30] oil and gas supply and almost 1/3ird of global container
[00:01:34] traffic could be affected. oil prices could soare toward
[00:01:37] $200 per barrel, while Europe's energy security would face
[00:01:41] severe
[00:01:42] Berlin-Tokyo axis of pressure. for Antarula, Yemen is not
[00:01:45] merely another battlefield, it is a strategic front with the
[00:01:49] power to reshape the global
[00:01:50] economy.
[00:01:53] the axis of resistance still holds powerful strategic cards in
[00:01:56] reserve, cards that once played, could leave
[00:02:00] even America unable to respond despite all its military
[00:02:04] might,
[00:02:13] este supuesto acuerdo is this alleged oil agreement between the
[00:02:17] United States and Venezuela, the culmination of betrayal of
[00:02:20] Chavismo, so strap in as we start today's
[00:02:24] Gringo.
[00:02:33] we're buying oil from a
[00:02:44] against the kidnapping of a president of
[00:03:00] "mister president, are you paranoid about the united states and
[00:03:04] chavez presented the evidence as to why it was not
[00:03:07] paranoia. he gave series of example, Jakobo
[00:03:11] Arbans, through Ho, the president of Brazil,
[00:03:14] countless examples, but he told her, here we have the
[00:03:18] largest oil reserves in the world, he gave her a whole
[00:03:21] lesson. what Chavez warned about has come to pass and
[00:03:25] now, practically speaking, many say that the Balivarian
[00:03:29] Republic..."
[00:03:32] Bolivarian Republic of
[00:03:35] Mills, but this one is simply an agent of Venezuela.
[00:03:38] But you don't see, you don't see the
[00:03:41] glowing terms about the president of threat that the US empire poses to us. Why do you think the US wants
[00:03:44] to attack Venezuela? Well, there's recent
[00:03:47] history. I'm going to tell you the most important
[00:03:51] imagine, but Trump speaks well of Mendoza Potella is the student of reason here: Right here are the largest
[00:03:55] oil reserves on this planet. Are you paranoid about
[00:03:58] the United States? In a way, I'm just being realistic.
[00:04:02] ordered the expulsion of
[00:04:18] There are also other Venezuelans, men and
[00:04:19] thousands of people to close the embassy of women, who yearn to
[00:04:22] have their own home, to have their own housing. What
[00:04:26] we are doing is for the development of the country, but above all for...
[00:04:32] The agreement announced by Trump and Venezuela's acting president,
[00:04:35] Delhi Rodriguez, consists of the following: The
[00:04:39] Better than United States will exploit 17
[00:04:44] personnel has come, taken advantage of private productive apparatus of Venezuelan oil fields, 65 billion barrels of oil, nearly 22% of the largest reserves on the planet. Venezuela will
[00:04:48] reactivate its production and receive technology and investment of
[00:04:52] $100 billion dollars. According to the
[00:04:54] president, with a reference price of $65 per barrel of
[00:04:58] oil, Venezuela could receive $209
[00:05:00] billion. Trump says the pact will last 100
[00:05:04] years. Delsey Rodriguez says it will be 25 years.
[00:05:08] Venezuela is signing contracts with oil giants such as Cheverin and Ennie.
[00:05:20] The entire social protection system for our people has
[00:05:24] been strengthened through the benefits we will receive with
[00:05:27] this investment, which I call the rebirth of Venezuela. I
[00:05:31] increasingly vindicate the channel and the political-diplomatic
[00:05:35] dialogue with the United States of America and with
[00:05:38] the countries of the world.
[00:06:05] Antonio, I was listening to a program by
[00:06:07] Ariel Impieres in which Antonio Silva, a
[00:06:11] well-known Venezuelan journalist, said that in order
[00:06:15] to understand this alleged oil agreement, we have to go
[00:06:18] back to what happened in January when President
[00:06:21] Maduro was kidnapped. He presents a scenario in which
[00:06:25] he practically infers an alleged betrayal by Delhi
[00:06:29] Rodriguez, the Rodriguez brother and others,
[00:06:32] whom he does not name, but who are part of the
[00:06:35] system, a betrayal against Venezuela. What do you
[00:06:39] say?
[00:06:42] A big greeting to you, Ruben, and to the great Hector, whom I had the good
[00:06:46] fortune to meet in Caracas in 2018. He's the most
[00:06:50] universal Peruvian of today and all of Peru's history. It is
[00:06:54] an honor for me, and for you, there may be no jealousy, but before Hector
[00:06:58] I stand at attention before the former foreign
[00:07:00] minister.
[00:07:03] No, I stand at attention before him too. He was a
[00:07:06] guerrilla fighter in
[00:07:07] Peru.
[00:07:10] That's why, that's why that's why I stand at attention before him,
[00:07:14] among other things. General Velasco, a great
[00:07:17] general. Well, there is really one question that
[00:07:21] Mario Silva cannot answer, because nobody can answer it: in the
[00:07:25] meeting held in Qatar in 2025, which
[00:07:28] were supposedly authorized by President Maduro and in
[00:07:32] which Mrs. Dels Rodriguez took part, what exactly was being
[00:07:36] cooked up there? Nobody knows. But what has
[00:07:38] happened, what we can see objectively, is that after
[00:07:42] January 3rd, on the 4th, the 5th, and up to
[00:07:45] today, now that we are already in the month of September, Trump has
[00:07:49] destroyed the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. There is no
[00:07:53] longer an independent Republic of Venezuela. There is no longer a
[00:07:57] constitution. There is no longer a national assembly.
[00:08:01] Trump does whatever he wants. So much so
[00:08:04] that look, this oil agreement, Mrs. Delsey and Mr.
[00:08:07] Trump have said they did not negotiate with the Secretary of
[00:08:10] Petroleum and Energy whose name is right, but with the
[00:08:14] Secretary of War, and also with the far-right figure who in
[00:08:17] principle has nothing to do with energy business, named
[00:08:21] Marco Rubio. So what is being proposed in Venezuela today is an
[00:08:25] agreement not only to seize the oil
[00:08:28] reserves, but to militarily occupy, through the South
[00:08:31] Command, the oil-producing region, the fields, the immense oil fields
[00:08:35] of Venezuela. After they signed with the head of
[00:08:39] war, they sent Mr. Wright, who resembles the great
[00:08:42] American Marxist sociologist C. Wright
[00:08:47] the multinationals. But he comes afterward. That is to
[00:08:51] say, it is highly suspicious. When I say that there is no
[00:08:54] republic, I have just listened to Venezuela's leading oil
[00:08:57] expert whose name is Mendoza Potella.
[00:09:03] the founder of OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
[00:09:06] Countries. He was an ADICO named Perez
[00:09:09] Alonso, I mean, Acción Democrática, a major Venezuelan
[00:09:13] political party. The thing is that now, under pressure from
[00:09:16] Marco Rubio and Trump, Venezuela is considering leaving OPEC, an
[00:09:20] organization created by Venezuela. Last week I
[00:09:23] published an article about all the structures of Chavez's
[00:09:27] Bolivarian Revolution that this puppet government, what a
[00:09:31] prominent French trade unionist is now calling a puppet
[00:09:34] government, has set out to destroy the Bolivarian
[00:09:37] Revolution, to destroy the Central Bank of
[00:09:40] Venezuela, which no longer receives oil money, to destroy
[00:09:43] the Supreme Court of Justice, and I know this perfectly well
[00:09:47] because my former partner, who was a trusted
[00:09:50] employee of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme
[00:09:54] Court, has been practically forced into exile
[00:09:57] in Brazil, and her boss, the left-wing
[00:10:00] justice Luis Damiani, has been expelled because it
[00:10:03] seems Rubio gave these people a list of loyal and democratic
[00:10:07] justices who had to be removed from the Supreme Court of Justice, which is
[00:10:11] where law's president.
[00:10:25] I'm going to interrupt you to turn to Hector, but before that,
[00:10:28] there is a suggestion of some kind, because some people say, no, they put
[00:10:32] a gun to Delhi Rodriguez's head, and then they
[00:10:35] said, well, there's no other choice, we have to do this. There
[00:10:39] is another version that for a long time she had been
[00:10:42] working for the
[00:10:43] CIA.
[00:10:48] I would say that version about the gun to the hand, I believe it's until around
[00:10:52] March or April, when they handed over Maduro's main
[00:10:55] economic associate to the FBI and the
[00:10:58] CIA and probably a shady individual
[00:11:01] named, and from that point on, I
[00:11:04] understood that this business about a gun to the head was a trick. I
[00:11:08] don't believe it. And the question is from what moment did the
[00:11:11] national betrayal begin? From what moment? Was it done
[00:11:15] before or did it happen afterwards? Because all the
[00:11:18] information I have is that the orders received by the
[00:11:21] grassroots members of the PSUV, the pay
[00:11:33] Ministry, and I trained Venezuelan diplomats at the Diplomatic
[00:11:37] Academy called the Pedro Goal Institute of Advanced
[00:11:40] Diplomatic Studies. I have my sources. The orders given to the
[00:11:44] militia and including my former partner who is in exile in
[00:11:47] Brazil and to my comrades at the Foreign Ministry were: do
[00:11:51] not lift a finger, do not respond, do not use your weapons.
[00:11:55] That very same day, the 3rd, and that is what comrade Mario
[00:11:58] Silva says, they gave us the order not to fire on the
[00:12:02] criminals.
[00:12:11] And indeed, they have already suspended his program,
[00:12:14] and he literally said, we cannot afford to make Mr. Donald
[00:12:18] Trump angry at this moment. That is what
[00:12:21] Mario Silva said. Hector, in your opinion,
[00:12:25] what are we dealing with in this alleged oil agreement, which is
[00:12:28] practically the chronicle of a robbery foretold
[00:12:32] by the pirate Donald Trump, but as we are hearing from Jose
[00:12:36] Antonio Aguido, with internal collaboration, with the
[00:12:39] fifth column within Chavismo? With a fifth
[00:12:43] column within
[00:12:44] Chavismo. Well, first
[00:12:48] greetings to... Well, first of all,
[00:12:52] greetings everyone and also to those... and listening
[00:12:55] to us. The first thing I have to say is that I express my
[00:12:59] absolute solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of
[00:13:02] Venezuela, which has been kidnapped by the United
[00:13:05] States. My protest
[00:13:09] the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and my
[00:13:12] condemnation of the threats against Latin
[00:13:14] America. My country, Peru, is also threatened by the
[00:13:18] same thing, and I believe we have to be careful when analyzing Venezuela's
[00:13:22] current and complex situation. What I have
[00:13:25] been following, through the unfortunately limited information provided by the
[00:13:28] press, is that Mr. Trump operates directly with
[00:13:32] the consortium, monopoly, or apparatus, whatever one
[00:13:35] wishes to call it, of the United States military, or complex,
[00:13:39] that has the desperate mission of seizing Venezuela's
[00:13:42] oil. Trump is not interested in the
[00:13:45] Chavistas, the Rodríguez family, or anyone
[00:13:48] else. What he wants is to have Venezuela's oil in his hands,
[00:13:52] and now he has it, but of course...
[00:14:25] refineries. Those refineries have been shut down for many months and
[00:14:29] are not operational. And when Trump, for the first and second
[00:14:32] time, called on American companies to take charge of the robbery he
[00:14:36] wants to hand over to them, the spoils he has stolen, that
[00:14:40] is, Venezuela's oil reserves, he encountered an
[00:14:43] extremely cautious attitude from the companies. Why?
[00:14:46] Because getting Venezuela's oil industry back on its feet and
[00:14:50] operational at this point requires a massive investment
[00:14:54] that nobody is
[00:14:56] willing to make. So Trump has had to create, illegally, as with everything he
[00:15:00] does, a special productive apparatus
[00:15:03] independent of the American
[00:15:06] the oil companies and dependent on the
[00:15:09] Pentagon. At this moment, the Pentagon has oil companies
[00:15:13] in the process of being created, but that is
[00:15:16] unconstitutional in the United States. It is
[00:15:19] illegal. Therefore, that will also require a series of
[00:15:23] bureaucratic procedures and will create problems that Trump
[00:15:27] has now also brought upon himself within the United
[00:15:30] States. In other words, Trump's entire
[00:15:33] supposed triumph in stealing Venezuela's oil has practically
[00:15:37] become a question mark now that it has had to be put into
[00:15:40] practice, and we still have to see how far it will
[00:15:44] go. And of course, I have to say that, like all of you and
[00:15:48] all of us, my information is very limited, and what I am saying
[00:15:51] is by no means conclusive, nor does it have the
[00:15:54] quality of a conclusion, because I am not in a position to draw
[00:15:58] one. What I am seeing from my country are the problems this is
[00:16:01] creating, and that is the situation Venezuela finds
[00:16:05] itself in at this moment.
[00:16:08] Now I condemn, even more than the attitude of the Venezuelans,
[00:16:11] about which I still reserve judgment until I have studied it further, the
[00:16:15] attitude of Latin America, because how is it possible that Latin
[00:16:18] America is capable of allowing a president to be kidnapped? A
[00:16:22] Latin American president kidnapped, and how is it
[00:16:25] possible that Latin America is allowing this to happen, just as
[00:16:29] in Argentina, just as in Bolivia, and now just as in
[00:16:32] Peru? So we must also be aware of the political
[00:16:36] weakness of our region.
[00:18:07] have taken Venezuela, and now
[00:18:11] dictator in a clear reference to Nicolás
[00:18:13] Maduro. In other words, it is the chronicle of a
[00:18:17] dispossession foretold. He said it himself, and now in the
[00:18:21] following term, well, we are seeing it. But in this context, we
[00:18:24] see the role of the Pentagon, which at this moment has taken
[00:18:28] control of Venezuelan oil, but the Pentagon and the United States
[00:18:31] military are carrying out an Israel military
[00:18:35] integration that, according to Israel, is meant to be
[00:18:38] irreversible. What would be the role of Zionism or Israel
[00:18:42] in this entire scenario, which Hector has already
[00:18:46] described? Colombia, where at the inauguration
[00:18:49] of this new president, Rabbi goes and
[00:18:52] shouts, long live Colombia and long live
[00:18:55] Israel, Miley and Argentina. Here in
[00:18:58] Mexico, they have just authorized a new political party called
[00:19:02] Paz, led by a man who is in Morena, the
[00:19:05] left-wing Morena party. And they have granted him this new
[00:19:09] party. He has openly traveled to Israel and returned to
[00:19:13] say our objective is to promote
[00:19:15] international. My reflections are out of place. What do you think? Are my
[00:19:18] reflections out of place or how
[00:19:21] do you see it?
[00:19:26] Well, I'm not going to talk about Israel throughout the entire world, its
[00:19:29] foreign policy in Latin America, the Caribbean, the North Pole or the
[00:19:33] South. In short, I'm going to focus on Venezuela. In
[00:19:36] Venezuela, President Chavez
[00:19:40] the Israeli embassy in retaliation for one of the many
[00:19:44] criminal operations organized by the Zionist regime
[00:19:47] against the Palestinian population, which at the time was
[00:19:50] called Cast Lead. I myself took part in a demonstration with
[00:19:56] the Zionist regime, which was located in the east of the city.
[00:20:00] It was in 2008 or 2009, something like
[00:20:04] that, I don't remember. Now after Trump, after the invasion, not
[00:20:08] only by the Pentagon, but by the CIA, the
[00:20:11] FBI, Southern Command, which is the Pentagon,
[00:20:14] the American companies, Marco Rubio, and so on
[00:20:18] and so forth, a group of military
[00:20:22] the tragedy of the earthquake, especially in La Guaira, and
[00:20:26] look at how cynical these Zionists are, because President
[00:20:29] Chavez called them genocidal, they sent
[00:20:32] as the military chief of that delegation of supposed rescuers,
[00:20:36] the military officer who had led Operation Cast
[00:20:39] Lead, the one whom President Chavez accused of being
[00:20:42] genocidal in 2007, no, perhaps
[00:20:45] 2008, I don't remember exactly. In my Spanish, that is
[00:20:48] called forcing the Venezuelan people to
[00:20:52] swallow the audacity they had in calling them genocidal, which
[00:20:56] is what they are, and in closing their embassy. What, let me tell
[00:21:00] you one thing and to sum up regarding Venezuela, designs came
[00:21:03] hand in hand with Trump. When the Venezuelan people, let me say we,
[00:21:07] because I am Venezuelan, this is my Venezuelan ID
[00:21:11] card, my ID, and it says Venezuelan here. I do not speak
[00:21:14] from abroad. Yes, I am abroad, but my heart and
[00:21:18] my political activism through my adult life have been in
[00:21:22] Venezuela. When we throw Trump out, these will go with
[00:21:25] him. The Zionists came with Trump, they will leave when we throw
[00:21:29] out Trump and what Trump
[00:21:30] represents.
[00:21:37] We know that there has existed a Washington-Tel Aviv
[00:21:40] axis for a long time, and we know that
[00:21:43] Israel is a tremendously active country, not just now. In Peru,
[00:21:47] for example, we have had a president who worked with Israel. In the year
[00:21:51] 2000, Toledo became president, when Fujimori
[00:21:54] fell in Peru, he was replaced by Toledo, who is now a former president
[00:21:58] in prison, had the Mossad in the palace, in the government
[00:22:01] palace, and in Peru, as we all know, we
[00:22:05] had a massacre in which more than 60 people died after the
[00:22:08] removal of President Castillo, they killed them
[00:22:11] for protesting, shooting them in the body, and those weapons
[00:22:15] and those rifles were Israeli. So
[00:22:18] Israel's relationship with the United States, as well as Israel's own
[00:22:22] objectives, are absolutely clear, and as I
[00:22:25] repeat, the Washington-Tel Aviv axis, in my
[00:22:28] opinion, is equivalent to the
[00:22:32] the Second World War. We are living through
[00:22:35] neo-Nazism in the 21st century, and I believe that what we
[00:22:38] have to discuss with great concern is how, just as our grandparents or
[00:22:42] our parents had to confront that kind of political, repressive, and
[00:22:46] criminal phenomenon, we and our children will have to.
[00:23:20] contrast struck me as powerful. It is basically an
[00:23:23] instrument of big capital for imposing itself on the
[00:23:26] peoples.
[00:23:31] So you have provided some very interesting information.
[00:23:44] As the minister, minister, the guerrilla fighter, and the sociologist Hector has said,
[00:23:47] and I, a sociologist myself, so we are
[00:23:50] colleagues, the great weakness of the Latin American
[00:23:54] people is allowing the criminal kidnapping of a president
[00:23:57] by a mafia gang on the basis of an unfounded
[00:24:00] accusation, because they have now already said that the
[00:24:04] accusation against Maduro amounts to nothing. The cartel of the suns
[00:24:08] does not exist. It is the weakness of all humanity, especially
[00:24:12] since the fall of the Soviet Union, which was the only force equipped with
[00:24:15] nuclear weapons capable of imposing respect for
[00:24:19] international law. Look, this Trump, who is also a little
[00:24:22] crazy, apart from all the other things and interests that inhabit his
[00:24:26] mind, does not get along very well, and yet he speaks in
[00:24:31] the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. On the one
[00:24:34] hand, Marco Rubio spouts everyday an anti-communism
[00:24:38] more primitive than anything one could
[00:24:41] the president of the Korean people. Why? Because
[00:24:44] Korea has nuclear
[00:24:45] weapons.
[00:24:50] Well, once again, many thanks to our guests who have provided
[00:24:53] truly important information for understanding what is
[00:24:56] happening not only in Venezuela, but I would say across
[00:25:00] the Latin American region. Thank you for being with us on Gringo, and
[00:25:04] I hope to see you again on another occasion.
[00:25:20] The Arab countries have made our lives unbearable, you know?
[00:25:24] And the difficult times affect us too, and this life of charity is not helping.
[00:25:27] They say the tent is good.
[00:25:29] what I understood.
[00:25:31] The Qatari, on the contrary, the Qatari and the shelters, all of them are not
[00:25:35] useful. No one has anything but
[00:25:37] his home.
[00:25:41] constantly, you know, in her interview she is calling out to them, "Come and see our lives, you know, come
[00:25:45] and save us." Of course, they don't do anything, they are
[00:25:48] complicated. I think they put themselves in a situation
[00:25:52] where the whole of their economy is based on rich people coming and living there
[00:25:55] in their countries. So once you've got that situation
[00:25:59] that even though they have defense, but they're not military countries.
[00:26:32] he was criticizing, but there was no one to stop him. Then he came out of the
[00:26:36] agreement. If
[00:26:40] he had a complaint, he would tell the Prime Minister of
[00:26:44] Pakistan and the Emir of Qatar, because these two people were the dispute
[00:26:47] resolution committee. We are now pursuing diplomacy
[00:26:50] with guarantees. This means that, firstly,
[00:26:54] we have created
[00:26:56] conditions that will make Americans
[00:26:59] trust us.
[00:27:05] Until these initial conditions are met, we will not enter
[00:27:08] the second phase. When the Americans came and entered
[00:27:12] Iran's foreign policy instead of the British,
[00:27:15] after the coup against Mr.
[00:27:19] Mossadegh and the oil
[00:27:22] nationalization movement was destroyed by them, the Americans entered
[00:27:26] Iran's foreign policy then. From that time
[00:27:29] until today, the Americans have never fulfilled their commitments.
[00:27:32] The Americans also say that Iran cannot be trusted.
[00:27:36] Firstly, they are lying.
[00:27:39] We have never
[00:27:41] attacked any country. We have not
[00:27:45] questioned the political borders of other countries. We have
[00:27:49] fulfilled all our international commitments. Who
[00:27:52] withdrew from the JCPOA? America withdrew. They
[00:27:56] mean surrendering Iran when they say
[00:27:59] trusting. They equate trust with subservience.
[00:28:02] Well, if we trusted them, we would still want a
[00:28:06] guarantee. One of those guarantees is the Strait
[00:28:09] of Hormuz. We will commit when the
[00:28:12] Strait of Hormuz is open so that they
[00:28:15] don't sabotage and don't
[00:28:18] threaten
[00:28:20] Iran. That's why we came to
[00:28:24] stabilize this guarantee.
[00:28:27] We sat down with Oman and this plan has been
[00:28:31] finalized. The plan has been agreed upon and should be
[00:28:35] signed these days.
[00:29:39] Your headlines on Press TV. Iran says a meeting with the Persian Gulf
[00:29:43] littoral states on the Strait of Hormuz in Oman has been postponed
[00:29:47] through a joint decision by Tehran and
[00:29:49] Muscat.
[00:29:53] Yemen's army conducts new missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia
[00:29:56] hitting sensitive targets including oil facilities in the
[00:30:00] southern part of the kingdom.
[00:30:04] And Palestinian officials warned that Israel's ban on the entry of vehicle
[00:30:07] spare parts has pushed Gaza's public transport sector to the
[00:30:11] brink of complete shutdown.
