[00:00:26] the headlines: Iran's Iia and boy
[00:00:29] slams the... national atomic energy agency for referring Ivan's nuclear
[00:00:33] file to the security council saying the move has no legal
[00:00:36] basis. The Yemeni armed forces say they have conducted a
[00:00:40] large-scale military operation against key Saudi
[00:00:43] Arab bases in the country's southwestern city of Khamis
[00:00:47] Mushait.
[00:00:49] Hamas warns of efforts aimed at Judaizing the
[00:00:53] Al-Aqsa, and his very human rights group warns that about the
[00:00:56] IOF trying to eliminate the Palestinian presence from the West Bank.
[00:01:15] You're watching Press TV World News with me Kerash here at the Iranian
[00:01:18] capital, Tehran. Welcome to the program.
[00:01:22] Iran slams the International Atomic Energy Agency in
[00:01:25] Austria for denying a visa to the head of Iran's
[00:01:29] atomic energy organization, saying the move has no legal
[00:01:33] basis.
[00:01:37] is absolutely astonishing and indeed ironic that Austria, in
[00:01:41] order to justify its wrongful act
[00:01:45] legislation of invokes resolutions that have been duly and legally
[00:01:48] terminated and or a
[00:01:51] non-existent committee of the UN Security Council.
[00:01:55] Resolution 2231 expired
[00:01:58] on 18 October, 2025, and
[00:02:01] accordingly, all the UN
[00:02:04] there's no pressure put on it by any of restrictions against the Islamic Republic of Iran were permanently
[00:02:06] terminated. It is not merely an Iranian position, it
[00:02:10] is also the firm legal position of two permanent
[00:02:14] members of the Security Council as well as the
[00:02:17] countries of the non-aligned movement. The occasional
[00:02:20] move in New York in the name of the so-called
[00:02:23] do not have proper understanding of committee are ultra vires and constitute
[00:02:27] slowly but surely, many of a blatant abuse of the Security Council's procedures and
[00:02:30] by certain of its Western members. Such a
[00:02:33] committee has not been officially established, nor
[00:02:37] has a single meeting of it been held since
[00:02:41] 2015. The sound legal arguments
[00:02:45] constitute a gross and indeed deliberate distortion of the
[00:02:48] letter and spirit of the headquarters
[00:02:51] agreement.
[00:02:56] Iran's ambassador to the international organizations in
[00:02:59] Vienna made his remarks at the opening of
[00:03:03] the 70th IAEA General
[00:03:06] Conference. The US representative admitted that
[00:03:09] Washington opposed the travel exemption request for
[00:03:12] Mohammad. The host country shows it lacks the
[00:03:15] competence to hold such a position. He added that
[00:03:19] the visa was initially issued, but then canceled
[00:03:23] under pressure, proving the legal justification was fabricated
[00:03:26] afterwards. He said Iran's and the
[00:03:30] agency to serve one country's
[00:03:32] "I would hope that the leader of interest at the cost of discrediting. It is
[00:03:35] a dangerous trend that must be stopped. The
[00:03:39] conference runs from September 14th to 18th with
[00:03:43] representatives from 181 member states in attendance.
[00:04:01] And that will also be the topic of this episode of news
[00:04:05] review. I'm going to discuss that further with Hussein Shafi, member of
[00:04:09] National Leadership Committee, Workers' Party of
[00:04:12] Britain, joining us in our Tehran
[00:04:14] existed since the fall of studios. And also joining us will be Reza Vedadi,
[00:04:17] academic, researcher, and author, joining us from the city of
[00:04:20] Muscat. Gentlemen, thank you both for joining me at
[00:04:24] this hour. I'm going to begin with Mr. Shafi, what
[00:04:28] does it actually mean that I AEA right now
[00:04:31] is doing such a thing? Your broad takeaway
[00:04:34] please. My takeaway is that they've not been very honest
[00:04:38] brokers. They have done nothing but work
[00:04:41] as a tool and instrument for for a Zionist state, for
[00:04:45] America. They have given up the lives or we've had
[00:04:48] the lives of our scientists taken
[00:04:52] away by these people who have offered uh
[00:04:56] the names and addresses of our
[00:04:58] team, people who have been working on projects.
[00:05:02] And
[00:05:04] they don't really care about atomic,
[00:05:08] what's it called, research or sciences or anything. They're
[00:05:11] really only implementing whatever it is the West
[00:05:14] wants to do. They're not interested in actually giving
[00:05:18] Iran the, as a signed up member of the NPT,
[00:05:22] to have a chance to actually have nuclear
[00:05:26] electricity, nuclear energy. All they're interested
[00:05:30] in is making sure that they can hinder Iran from being able to
[00:05:33] get any kind of nuclear
[00:05:36] capacity. And I'm not talking about weaponry. I'm talking about being able
[00:05:40] to produce electricity. As I do it in Iran, in the
[00:05:44] summer, people have two hours of electricity cut off once every two or
[00:05:47] three days. If we had nuclear power and we were given an
[00:05:51] opportunity to develop those, then we would not have the
[00:05:54] problems that we've got at the moment. We're a huge country that needs a lot more electricity
[00:05:58] than we've got capacity for at the moment. And I think it's
[00:06:02] our right to have that. And I don't believe the IAEA is actually
[00:06:06] interested in helping us. They're there as a tool and
[00:06:09] instrument of the West to punish us in any way
[00:06:13] they can, to try and catch us out and to try
[00:06:16] and uh bring charges up against us for
[00:06:20] failing to do whatever it is that they want to do, just so they can
[00:06:24] create an atmosphere of sanctions against us. That's what they're
[00:06:27] after. That's right. Thank
[00:06:31] you so much for your patience. Your thoughts on the same
[00:06:34] question. I think it's important that your audience understand
[00:06:38] that organizations such as IAEA, UN, and
[00:06:42] other world bodies were mainly set up by
[00:06:45] Western powers after the Second World War to be able to
[00:06:49] control other countries. In many occasions
[00:06:52] they do not implement the the authority or the
[00:06:57] these organizations on every single
[00:07:00] country. I'll give you an example. For example, in
[00:07:03] Israel, a country that is not part of the
[00:07:07] NPT. However, it's not being sanctioned by the Western
[00:07:11] powers, United Europeans and the United States. And
[00:07:16] the governing bodies. We even so this is how detrimental the
[00:07:20] whole um façade has become that the head of the
[00:07:23] IAEA would come to, before he would come to Iran to visit, he
[00:07:27] would go and visit Israel, or he would go to visit Israel after he'd come to visit
[00:07:31] Iran regarding discussing Iran's nuclear program, peaceful
[00:07:34] nuclear program. So this just goes to show that slowly,
[00:07:40] these organizations that for many years
[00:07:42] used to uh prop up the foreign
[00:07:46] policy and the discrimination of other countries
[00:07:49] by the Western powers are slowly but
[00:07:53] surely demeaning their own capabilities and powers. Soon
[00:07:56] it will come to a point where many people may not
[00:07:59] follow the UN. They may join, for example, the BRICS. It
[00:08:03] may be a possibility that if they continue to not uh, for
[00:08:07] example, condemn the attack on Iran, and especially
[00:08:10] its nuclear program, peaceful nuclear program by the US and
[00:08:14] Israel, but then try to condemn Iran for not giving it
[00:08:17] access, which, uh, as our colleague said, is being
[00:08:21] used to gather information on the scientists and then assassinate the
[00:08:24] scientists and to gather information on the capabilities of Iran's
[00:08:28] peaceful nuclear program, and then know where to strike and damage it. We
[00:08:32] know during the war, for example, that they attacked many of
[00:08:35] Iran's peaceful research, medical
[00:08:38] nuclear research capabilities and
[00:08:41] buildings. So... so this is in in in one way they
[00:08:44] believe they're pressuring Iran, but in reality what they're doing is
[00:08:47] weakening the the organizations that they have
[00:08:51] propped up for the last 60-70
[00:08:53] years.
[00:08:56] Mr. Shafi, one thing that was significant
[00:08:59] was Russia backing Iran's position, and
[00:09:03] Associated Press also reported that Russia criticized Austria's
[00:09:06] handling of the matter and supported Iran's argument
[00:09:09] regarding its rights as an IAEA member.
[00:09:13] We also witnessed this last week. How
[00:09:16] do you think the events that are happening when it comes to the global
[00:09:20] powers, be it Russia or China,
[00:09:23] actually can trans and has
[00:09:27] the Soviet Union, has now that hegemony that you
[00:09:30] the singular hegemon is no longer the power. America
[00:09:34] used to be able to bully its way through. Every
[00:09:37] single problem they ever had, every problem needs a hammer
[00:09:41] and every problem will always get a hammer. Well, they brought their hammer
[00:09:45] to Iran and they met a very powerful
[00:09:48] reply back. Their military is unable or incapable of being able to
[00:09:52] do anywhere near the kind of damage that will be
[00:09:55] able to divide Iranian community, as
[00:09:59] in like the people within the country to say enough is enough. In
[00:10:03] fact, what they've done is with their attacks
[00:10:05] on our leaders, our children of Minab and everywhere else, has
[00:10:09] only hardened everyone's hearts to to fight again.
[00:10:13] And the battle against America is the thing that has
[00:10:16] given heart to China and to Russia now to recognize the
[00:10:20] fact that militarily the United States is a spent force.
[00:10:24] The only thing they've got are nuclear weapons. Anything that they've
[00:10:27] got conventional can easily be outmatched by
[00:10:31] China. Iran has outmatched them. They're unable to bring enough
[00:10:34] pain to be able to do anything else other than blow up a few
[00:10:38] bridges, which we fix. The bridges are getting fixed.
[00:10:41] There's nothing that we can't fix. The only thing that we can't fix is bring
[00:10:45] back the children. We can't bring back the kids that they seem
[00:10:49] to want to murder from the sky, whether it's Minab, whether it's
[00:10:52] Siric. That's what they are. And China and
[00:10:55] Russia understand that now militarily they have
[00:10:59] nothing to fear from the United States of America. Their aircraft carriers which are
[00:11:02] supposed to be these great battle groups are ineffective.
[00:11:06] They are dead in the water. And I look forward to the day
[00:11:10] when we're going to be living in a world where Iran
[00:11:14] is going to become a world power because of its strategic position,
[00:11:18] because of the willingness of its people, because of the
[00:11:21] faith that people have in the actual Islamic Republic itself.
[00:11:25] So for me, I can't see America going anywhere. I can
[00:11:29] definitely see China and Russia deciding that it's better
[00:11:33] for them in their best interest to work with us. And I'm glad that Russia is working with
[00:11:36] us. I'm glad that Russia's taking our side, a bit more than China
[00:11:40] perhaps. But we helped the the Russians out massively.
[00:11:43] They were in need of our drone technology and we
[00:11:47] supplied it to them and they appreciate that. And you know the
[00:11:51] Russians are not the worst people in the world to have as allies. They are fighters. You
[00:11:55] know, they fought World War II. They went toe to toe and they took out
[00:11:58] 84% of every single Nazi soldier during the
[00:12:02] whole of that World War. So it's good to have those people on your
[00:12:05] side. And to be honest with you, they've not broken faith with
[00:12:08] us. So I'm happy to have them as allies. And I can only
[00:12:11] see only good coming from these relationships with uh
[00:12:15] China and with Russia. It's definitely
[00:12:18] a world better than having a relationship
[00:12:22] with America, because any anyone, I think it was
[00:12:25] Kissinger or someone who turned around and said to be America's
[00:12:28] friend is is a is not such a good thing and to be
[00:12:32] its ally is almost the worst possible thing. I know I've botched that up, but
[00:12:35] reality is it's it's not a good thing to be a friend to
[00:12:39] America because their friends end up in the bin. And that's what they've done
[00:12:43] to a lot of countries and a lot of uh leaders
[00:12:46] in a lot of countries. So I'm happy where we are as
[00:12:49] Iran right now.
[00:12:52] Miss the as last question, we have about a minute before we wrap up
[00:12:56] this section. Um, Iran has been threatened by
[00:12:59] nuclear weapon annihilation of its
[00:13:02] civilization in the past 40-day war. At the same
[00:13:05] time, what we are witnessing today was uh, Iran's
[00:13:09] head of the Atomic Energy Agency was denied
[00:13:12] a visa to the IAEA. How do you see
[00:13:16] the contradiction here? Well,
[00:13:19] it's it's not a contradiction, it's how the Western um uh
[00:13:23] governments have been ruling
[00:13:25] the world up to uh some years ago. Now they won't be able to do all of these
[00:13:29] things. They, as you said, they uh threaten Iran with
[00:13:32] nuclear weapons and annihilation, war crimes, and
[00:13:35] genocide. However, they're not condemned by the IAEA. But
[00:13:39] Iran's head of Iran's nuclear
[00:13:42] agency is first given a visa and then that visa is revoked
[00:13:46] because of pressure from the United States. And this just goes to show that
[00:13:50] how how weak the Europeans are, that they follow like the
[00:13:54] Austrians are a sovereign nation. They have the
[00:13:57] capability to tell America no. But they are so
[00:14:00] weak that whatever America dictates to them, they do.
[00:14:03] So that's why there's no point in Iran dealing with the Europeans or
[00:14:07] the Americans in a diplomatic way. They only understand force, and I think Iran has
[00:14:11] realized that and that's the way it's going to go forward.
[00:14:15] Thank you, gentlemen, both of you. Those were Hussein Shafi, member of
[00:14:18] National Leadership Committee of Workers' Party of
[00:14:21] Britain, joining me right here. And Reza, the academic researcher and
[00:14:25] author, joined us from the city of Moscow. Thank you both for your time
[00:14:29] tonight. And that brings us to the end of this edition of our news
[00:14:33] review program. We're going to be back after a short break.
[00:14:47] crisis. Devastating wars,
[00:14:51] terrorism, the Israeli lobby,
[00:14:57] crackdown,
[00:15:02] diplomacy.
[00:15:05] Global economy suffering commerce closure.
[00:15:21] Welcome back. Iran says a planned meeting in Oman
[00:15:25] involving the foreign ministers of Persian Gulf countries to discuss the Strait
[00:15:28] of Hormuz was canceled at Saudi Arabia's
[00:15:32] request.
[00:15:37] The report that has been raised is indeed correct. Saudi Arabia
[00:15:40] requested that the meeting not be held for the time being. As for the discussions
[00:15:44] about developments between Saudi Arabia and Yemen being attributed to
[00:15:47] Iran, that is simply a case of pointing the finger in the wrong
[00:15:50] direction. Problems cannot be resolved by misplacing the
[00:15:54] blame.
[00:16:01] Iran played a role in the attack on Saudi Arabia and said
[00:16:04] Washington is spreading false reports to deepen
[00:16:08] divisions among regional states. He said Iran had
[00:16:11] demonstrated its willingness to help address Yemen's long-standing
[00:16:15] problems while respecting the
[00:16:18] roadmap agreed between the parties concerned. He
[00:16:22] warned that continued conflict among Muslim countries would
[00:16:25] benefit only the regime.
[00:16:29] is independent and makes its own decisions based
[00:16:33] on its interests. He said Yemen's actions must be understood in
[00:16:36] the context.
[00:16:56] The Persian Gulf Strait authorities as cargo owners
[00:16:59] shipping to or from the Persian Gulf had been instructed
[00:17:03] to review the non-compliance list issued by the authority
[00:17:07] already before chartering vessels to
[00:17:10] avoid potential problems. Under the new measures, any
[00:17:14] vessel cooperating with the with a listed ship,
[00:17:18] including through ship-to-ship transfers or
[00:17:20] transshipment will also be added to the non-compliance
[00:17:24] list. Vessels seeking removal from the list must
[00:17:28] submit a formal application outlining the grounds for the
[00:17:31] request to the designated Iranian authority. Tehran
[00:17:35] stated um started
[00:17:37] the monitoring of the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the US and Israeli
[00:17:41] aggression on February
[00:17:43] 28th.
[00:17:48] Press TV's correspondent Moin joined us earlier
[00:17:51] in our Tehran studio to show his experience in southern Iran while
[00:17:55] reporting on US crimes there. He says the enemies of Iran
[00:18:00] the scope of the people's
[00:18:02] resilience.
[00:18:06] Perhaps, "the enemies of Iran need a better
[00:18:10] understanding of the people of the south. These are not the people who are going
[00:18:13] to lose hope or be discouraged by such attacks. They
[00:18:17] have lost people before. Almost
[00:18:20] every family has a martyr in its history. Indeed,
[00:18:23] so this is not something that is going to discourage
[00:18:26] them. The mother of Amir Muhammad, the four-year-
[00:18:30] old baby who was martyred in the attack on the wedding in
[00:18:34] Sirik, her words were amazing. I don't
[00:18:38] um, how to explain, she was, the first words that
[00:18:41] came out of her mouth when I was having an interview with her was
[00:18:45] that we are going to continue, that we are going
[00:18:48] to uh keep up, that this is not something that's going to bring me
[00:18:51] down, and if I had to bring, even if
[00:18:55] I had to bring all my children
[00:18:58] to resist oppression, to resist aggression, to defend the
[00:19:01] country's territorial integrity and the country's independence, I would do
[00:19:05] so willingly, and I would...
[00:19:10] the revolution would accept my my
[00:19:13] present." This is the kind of spirit that you see among the
[00:19:16] people of the south regardless of their faith or religious
[00:19:20] background.
[00:19:23] The Yemeni armed forces say they have conducted a large-scale
[00:19:26] military operation against key Saudi bases in the country's
[00:19:30] southwestern city
[00:19:31] of.
[00:19:35] In response to the brutal Saudi aggression targeting our
[00:19:38] significant escalation they are carrying out by launching more than 300 air strikes
[00:19:42] in the past 5 days with Saudi F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets launched
[00:19:45] from airbases targeted most Yemeni provinces. By
[00:19:49] the grace of Allah, the Yemeni armed King Khalid Airbase and
[00:19:53] dozens of ballistic missiles and drones were used, and the strikes were precise and
[00:19:57] direct. Thanks to his power and
[00:19:58] might.
[00:20:02] The spokesman said the operation inflicted significant damage
[00:20:06] on the base. He said they're allowed to continue military operations deep
[00:20:09] inside Saudi Arabia as long as the kingdom continues its
[00:20:13] aggression against the people of Yemen. The spokesman
[00:20:17] warned that any new attack will trigger a broader and more
[00:20:20] intense operation by the Yemeni Armed Forces. He added that
[00:20:24] Sana'a sticks with its policy of
[00:20:26] reciprocating any act of aggression and maintaining a siege
[00:20:30] on Saudi Arabia shipping in the Red Sea until Riyadh
[00:20:34] ends its blockade in Yemen. This has liberated key
[00:20:37] areas, liberated key areas along the
[00:20:41] country's western coast that overlook the
[00:20:44] strategic Strait of Bab
[00:20:46] al-Mandab.
[00:20:50] Yemeni political analyst Hussein Abkheidi says Yemen's
[00:20:53] operations will intensify both inside the country and
[00:20:56] across Saudi territory as long as Riyadh keeps up
[00:21:00] its strikes and backs its mercenaries
[00:21:03] underground.
[00:21:07] 90 to 95% of the
[00:21:10] strength of the Saudi-backed forces in Yemen was the
[00:21:13] Saudi air strike and air cover. Now we've seen that Yemen
[00:21:17] has actually limited uh limited that. Uh
[00:21:20] by targeting the airbases themselves. And
[00:21:23] as he said clearly that Yemen will
[00:21:27] continue attacking Saudi Arabia, will continue to
[00:21:30] target Saudi Arabia unless they stop interfering uh from Yemen.
[00:21:34] And this is well, the demand that comes from Sayyed Abdul
[00:21:38] Malik uh that our demand is Saudi to withdraw from
[00:21:41] Yemen, to stop any support for their back forces.
[00:21:44] And if they don't do so, Yemen will keep continuing to
[00:21:48] advance across Yemen to liberate the rest of Yemen. This is also the main goal.
[00:21:52] And they will continue to target Saudi Arabia. We've seen that in the recent
[00:21:55] weeks they have almost targeted all Saudi oil
[00:21:58] infrastructure in Najran and Jizan and Asir. And I
[00:22:02] believe soon they will expand those
[00:22:05] attacks to target all infrastructure inside Saudi Arabia
[00:22:08] because Yemen will not let Saudi to continue
[00:22:12] their killing, their attack, their strike, their destruction of
[00:22:16] Yemen, their support of the mercenaries and Al Qaeda and ISIS. And
[00:22:22] no longer we cannot do that. They have been doing that since
[00:22:25] 2015 when they launched the war against
[00:22:28] Yemen.
[00:22:32] Hamas sounded the alarm over a growing campaign by Israeli
[00:22:36] settlers to expand Jewish religious rituals inside the
[00:22:39] Al-Aqsa compound in the occupied Al-Quds. The
[00:22:43] resistance movement says the increasing visits, prayers
[00:22:47] and religious ceremonies conducted under Israeli police
[00:22:50] protection risk the undermining of the
[00:22:53] long-standing arrangements governing the holy site.
[00:22:57] Hamas argues that the developments are gradual efforts to
[00:23:00] establish new religious and political reality at
[00:23:04] Al-Aqsa. It urged Arab and Muslim governments, the
[00:23:07] UN, and the wider international community to take action to
[00:23:11] safeguard Muslims' third holy site. The
[00:23:15] sacred compound has remained a major flashpoint since
[00:23:19] Israel.
[00:23:51] while making Israeli control and Jewish
[00:23:54] presence increasingly permanent. This is
[00:23:57] the elimination project. It
[00:24:00] identifies five main interconnected mechanisms that
[00:24:03] are part of the Israeli campaign in the West
[00:24:06] Bank: violence and intimidation, ethnic
[00:24:09] cleansing and territorial takeover, movement
[00:24:13] restriction, economic strangulation, and
[00:24:17] social and political destruction.
[00:24:23] According to B'Tselem, Israel is using military forces
[00:24:26] and armed settlers to embark on violence, fear,
[00:24:30] and coercion across the occupied West Bank. The report
[00:24:33] says at least 1,107
[00:24:36] Palestinians were killed between October 2023
[00:24:40] and September 2026 in Israeli attacks. The
[00:24:44] report also noted that armed settlers have taken control of
[00:24:47] around 18% of the West Bank as of July
[00:24:50] 2026. Israeli authorities continue to
[00:24:54] criminalize political organizing,
[00:24:57] suppress protests, and arrest activists, students, and
[00:25:01] journalists. According to the NGO, since this
[00:25:04] genocidal war on Gaza began, at least 60
[00:25:08] Palestinian journalists in the West Bank have been detained. The
[00:25:12] rights group urged the international community to stop treating
[00:25:16] Israel's violations as isolated incidents
[00:25:19] and to stop
[00:25:20] complicity.
[00:25:25] And that does it for this edition of World News Bulletin. Thank you for joining us and bye-bye.
[00:25:49] crisis. Devastating wars,
[00:25:53] terrorism, the Israeli
[00:25:56] lobby,
[00:25:59] crackdown,
[00:26:02] God willing,
[00:26:23] in the coming days and weeks, we will announce a
[00:26:27] restricted zone outside the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:26:31] From the
[00:26:33] blockade line of the US Navy, it starts
[00:26:37] until it reaches this area of the Strait of Hormuz, and
[00:26:40] from this side, it goes into the Persian Gulf. What is
[00:26:44] this area? We declare this area a
[00:26:48] forbidden zone. That means any ship
[00:26:50] that intends to pass
[00:26:54] through the Strait of Hormuz and enters this area and is identified,
[00:26:57] we will put it on the sanctions list.
[00:27:01] That means
[00:27:03] if we see from now on
[00:27:07] ships, whether on the side of the strait, meaning
[00:27:10] the western side of the Strait of Hormuz, or on the
[00:27:14] eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz, or on the western side of the Strait
[00:27:17] of Hormuz, not yet in Hormuz, but it
[00:27:21] wants to come to Hormuz, not yet, but it wants to come and
[00:27:25] stop somewhere to then pass, we will inform it to
[00:27:28] stop right where it is. If it violates,
[00:27:31] we have the ship's name, the ship's owner,
[00:27:35] the one who chartered the ship.
[00:27:38] We will put this on the sanctions list. We will inform
[00:27:41] them that they will face insurance problems. From an
[00:27:45] insurance perspective, their costs will go up tremendously, and
[00:27:49] then we know that if they pass through here again,
[00:27:52] they will return here, and then it's in our hands.
[00:27:55] Many of these ships, mostly 80- 90% of these ships, don't just
[00:27:59] pass through once and leave because here
[00:28:03] a large part of the world's trade, especially oil and gas, is here.
[00:28:07] So what is the difference with the current situation? Even now, if
[00:28:10] a vessel wants to pass, it must be in coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[00:28:13] So what is the difference with being on the sanctions list?
[00:28:16] That those who want to use
[00:28:20] here outside of Iran's management,
[00:28:22] either illegally or
[00:28:25] in a way that creates problems,
[00:28:29] we will put them on the sanctions list because before closing the Strait of Hormuz, even
[00:28:32] before these wars, more than 100 ships passed through
[00:28:36] here daily. It costs a lot of dollars.
[00:28:40] It tries to turn off all these devices at night.
[00:28:43] It allows 5-6 ships
[00:28:47] to pass. Usually, they are caught. Of course,
[00:28:51] we haven't yet decided to sink them because they contain
[00:28:54] oil and
[00:28:58] oil products. And
[00:29:01] if they pollute the entire
[00:29:04] Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, then it will create problems for
[00:29:08] us. Therefore, any violation, any
[00:29:12] actions that we consider
[00:29:15] criminal, we can put them on our sanctions
[00:29:19] list, and if they ever want to pass through
[00:29:23] the Strait of Hormuz, we will stop them here, and this will take
[00:29:27] time. This area is prohibited, meaning that for a specified period, this area will be prohibited.
[00:29:30] This area is prohibited until the US naval blockade
[00:29:34] is in place. This is contrary to what
[00:29:37] Trump says, that it's completely closed.
[00:29:40] And on the other hand, we are looking to exert
[00:29:44] more pressure on the United States to pay for the rights of the Iranian
[00:29:48] nation.
