[00:00:10] in
[00:00:13] a
[00:00:28] de of
[00:00:41] and here in Venezuela there are many kidnappings,
[00:00:44] express kidnappings which happen within the family
[00:00:49] a environment and
[00:00:50] there are other types of kidnapping. The first impact I
[00:00:54] had was the kidnapping of my son when he was only 2
[00:00:58] years old. carried out an express
[00:01:01] kidnapping following the beating he gave me. He
[00:01:05] beat me in the head, we argued, and I left my
[00:01:08] of son in that apartment and went to the Chako police station to
[00:01:12] report it. He was choking me, he was killing
[00:01:16] of me, so I saw my son again a month later,
[00:01:20] thanks to the Chaco police who carried out that
[00:01:23] rescue.
[00:02:00] "I was transferring a large sum of
[00:02:03] of dollars with escorts and everything a
[00:02:06] motorcycle, because that's how I used to get around
[00:02:10] a motorcycle guarding the money. I got robbed, it
[00:02:14] in was actually betrayal to the merchants who owned the
[00:02:17] money. It happened in December when the large amount of
[00:02:21] money was being transferred. It's not known for sure,
[00:02:25] it's a speculation whether it was the same personnel
[00:02:29] escorting or not. not, but I fought with all
[00:02:32] my being, because I've always said one must die with honor, and
[00:02:36] if you're entrusted with something, you have to see it through to the
[00:02:40] end, so there my life changed again,
[00:02:44] because during that transfer of valuables and not letting
[00:02:48] them take that money which belonged to others, there was a
[00:02:51] confrontation, many shots were fired, and I
[00:02:55] unfortunately had very tragic accident, I
[00:02:59] survived. I spent six months in a wheelchair,
[00:03:03] six months. One of my legs has about 18
[00:03:07] nails screws. I believe God was sending
[00:03:10] me a message at that time. It's not that we are going to
[00:03:14] say God sends you almost to take your life for you to
[00:03:18] understand,
[00:03:19] but there I
[00:03:20] of stopped, and from then
[00:03:22] of on, no more hustle, no more commercial
[00:03:25] negotiation. I was going to work alone on my
[00:03:29] own.
[00:04:12] of
[00:05:21] I've always worked, for some reason God guided
[00:05:25] me towards the Lebanese community, the Arab community
[00:05:29] in Venezuela has always supported me since I
[00:05:32] arrived here, especially since I came to know
[00:05:36] Islam, I remember that day I went to mosk and it
[00:05:40] was Ramadan and I liked it. so much how
[00:05:43] they attended to me, how they sought to give me
[00:05:47] knowledge, gift me some books, they invited me for
[00:05:50] iftar meal, breaking fast that same
[00:05:54] day, saying we break our fast, and i
[00:05:57] wondered what does breaking the fast mean, what are
[00:06:01] these people going to break, but a still, as i was lacking
[00:06:05] love, affection, family, i said, i'll
[00:06:09] go, and in that ramadan became a muslim.
[00:07:23] In fact, I only had some superficial knowledge about
[00:07:26] Islam, in fact I didn't even know how to
[00:07:30] pray, because I would go to the mosk and ask the
[00:07:33] sisters,
[00:07:34] how should I pray, and they would tell me, well, you do what
[00:07:38] we do, you do like this,
[00:07:41] you do like that.
[00:08:19] Yo rectifico mi chahada? I said my shahada at the
[00:08:23] Latin American Islamic Center in
[00:08:25] 2010, there my life changed
[00:08:29] completely. It changed because I found beyond the religion
[00:08:33] a family. I remember that I no longer had
[00:08:37] motivation in my life because of all I had lived
[00:08:40] through to want to cook. to want to do something for
[00:08:44] someone, and I found community in what Ramadan is,
[00:08:48] to be able to cook for others, to be able to
[00:08:51] gather, to know God from another point of view
[00:08:54] than what I knew, to know the prophet Muhammad, peace be
[00:08:58] upon him, to know who Imam Ali, peace be upon him
[00:09:02] was, to know Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, and these
[00:09:06] good things doesn't mean I have escaped tragic
[00:09:09] events. Momentos
[00:09:12] trágicos.
[00:09:46] In the midst of all this, I have never abandoned my
[00:09:50] work with children, because my childhood affected my whole
[00:09:53] life forever. I haven't overcome it, so
[00:09:57] I believe I have a commitment before God, which is to
[00:10:01] protect children, and I like working with children,
[00:10:05] singing to them, doing storytelling and crafts for
[00:10:08] them, and I have found that opportunity at the Islamic.
[00:10:12] That opportunity at the Islamic Center, it is where I have been able
[00:10:16] to do my
[00:10:17] classes.
[00:10:47] Le doy la bienvenida, este salón se llama,
[00:10:51] muy bien, tema la clase de hoy se llama.
[00:12:16] el imman husein alejanzador y yo
[00:12:20] quisiera pasar el
[00:12:22] fin to pray for
[00:12:26] me to have family. I need a home and family.
[00:12:30] I need to say, even on this earthly plane, this
[00:12:34] house is mine. God, since I was born, I have lived
[00:12:38] a life and lived in so many places. I have
[00:12:41] moved my belongings from here to there. I have met
[00:12:45] people who have helped me as well as others who have
[00:12:49] mistreated me. I would like to be able to open my
[00:12:52] eyes and see one day at least.
[00:15:45] I want the end of my life a family, at least to know
[00:15:49] that after I died, someone would come to my grave
[00:15:53] side, maybe one day they will remember a
[00:15:56] Friday and say, let's go to Old Sarah's grave and
[00:16:00] pour water and put some flowers. Of course, if I'm
[00:16:04] still in Venezuela, I know they would come.
[00:16:09] I know they would, but
[00:16:11] I would like something where I say, but I would like something
[00:16:14] where I say, there they are, I wanted to open
[00:16:18] the door and see them with me in our
[00:16:21] house,
[00:16:36] look for twigs, we can't. take anything from here because it's
[00:16:40] prohibited, be careful, there are things that prick, you
[00:16:44] hear? grab the small
[00:16:45] sticks. one sunday
[00:16:49] a person anonymously at the mosk
[00:16:52] said, i will pay everything sister Sarah
[00:16:56] owes so she can live a peaceful life. that moment
[00:17:00] i said, my god, you're testing me in so many
[00:17:03] ways,
[00:17:04] you don't want me to have money, you want me to have other.
[00:17:07] because doesn't i perform magic.
[00:17:14] feel he
[00:17:18] i lacks perform anything magic in what sense? i'm a poor
[00:17:21] person with rich tastes. what can tell you?
[00:17:25] sometimes one things they can't enter an entertainment
[00:17:29] center because it's very expensive, but here in
[00:17:32] karakas, there are places you can go that cost even
[00:17:36] less than the place. places in the sector where i live, which are
[00:17:40] even expensive for salaried people. my son hasn't felt
[00:17:44] that sense of lacking because i managed greatly. for
[00:17:48] example, regarding school, he has always studied
[00:17:52] a private school. hy has a mental condition, he is
[00:17:55] autistic and has level to narrow delay.
[00:17:59] thank god he has been operated a private clinic, not a
[00:18:03] public clinic.
[00:22:29] This week on expose, what happens when the headlines stop telling the whole
[00:22:32] story, when CNN rewrites the chronology of a war, when
[00:22:36] military commandants warn that the conflict is becoming
[00:22:39] unsustainable, when social media turns the spotlight on Washington's
[00:22:43] loyalty designist Israel, when Jordan pays the price for
[00:22:47] hosting foreign forces when the numbers exposed. what political
[00:22:50] speeches try to conceal, exfos this week follows the
[00:22:54] story across the platforms with one question, who benefits
[00:22:58] from the story we are being told and who pays the
[00:23:01] price? american lies exposed this week on
[00:23:04] exposit.
[00:23:17] the question now circulating through business and political. circles around the world
[00:23:21] is this: does Iran have the right to charge ships for passing through the
[00:23:25] straight of hormos? The answer is not simple. Hormus is natural
[00:23:29] international straight, but does being natural mean being
[00:23:32] cost-free? The modern world still runs on maritime
[00:23:36] transport. More than 80% of global trade moves by sea
[00:23:39] oil, gas, food, metals,
[00:23:43] medicine, cars, industrial components, and consumer
[00:23:47] goods, all travel between continents by ship. In other words, the
[00:23:51] backbone of global trade is still shipping, and these vast oceans
[00:23:55] depend a handful of narrow, highly sensitive passages: the
[00:23:58] suez canal, the Panama Canal, Bab el
[00:24:02] Mandeb, the straight of Malaca,
[00:24:05] Gibralter, and the straight of Hormus, the
[00:24:09] energy artery the Persian Gulf. Some these roots are
[00:24:12] artificial, they were once land, then transformed into water waves
[00:24:16] through massive human investment, suez and Panama. are clear
[00:24:20] examples: giant engineering projects built and operated
[00:24:24] through excavation, dredging, traffic management, constant
[00:24:28] maintenance and complex infrastructure, that is why passage
[00:24:32] through them is not free, but the story of suez is not
[00:24:36] only economic, it is deeply political. for years Britain
[00:24:40] and France benefited from the canal's revenues. in
[00:24:43] 1956, Gamal Abdel Nasir nationalized the
[00:24:47] SUS Canal and declared that waterway located on
[00:24:50] Egyptian soil had to be under Egyptian sovereignty, despite the
[00:24:54] military attack launched by Israel, Britain and France to reverse that
[00:24:58] decision, and despite intense international pressure, control
[00:25:02] and revenue the canal ultimately remained with Egypt, a
[00:25:05] canal whose annual revenue in peak years has passed the $10
[00:25:09] billion dollar mark, but not all choke points are artificial, some are
[00:25:13] natural such as the Bosperos and the Dardinels in Turkey,
[00:25:17] the straight of Malaca, Gibralter, and the
[00:25:21] straight of hormus. In natural straights, states
[00:25:25] generally cannot charge vessels simply for the active passage in the
[00:25:29] same way road tool is collected, but that does not mean these roots
[00:25:32] carry no costs. In many such passages, fees are
[00:25:36] collected for specific services: navigational assistant, search
[00:25:40] and rescue, piloted, search and rescue,
[00:25:44] pilotage, tug support, port
[00:25:47] management, traffic control. and environmental
[00:25:51] protection. Now return to Hormus. The straight of
[00:25:55] Hormus is one the busiest and most sensitive maritime roots on
[00:25:59] earth. Every day, around 200 vessels may pass. Through
[00:26:02] this narrow corridor, oil tankers, LNG
[00:26:06] carriers, chemical tankers, container ships, and
[00:26:10] even naval vessels. In such an environment, a collision
[00:26:14] between two ships is not simple accident. Lives can
[00:26:18] be put at risk, chipping lanes can be disrupted, millions of
[00:26:22] dollars in damage can occur, oil, fuel or chemicals
[00:26:26] can spill into the waters the Persian Gulf. This is not two
[00:26:30] cars scraping bumpers a street. It can become an
[00:26:33] environmental and economic crisis, but unlike
[00:26:37] cars, massive vessels need significant time, distance
[00:26:41] and coordination to change course or come to a full
[00:26:44] stop. That is why passage
[00:26:48] through Hormus requires constant management. Just like
[00:26:51] crowded urban road, the straight of Hormus needs designated
[00:26:55] inbound and outbound lanes, traffic separation
[00:26:58] zones, maritime warnings, coastal monitoring,
[00:27:02] radio coordination and crisis management
[00:27:06] mechanisms. For years, Iran and Oman, as
[00:27:10] the coastal states the straight have carried major share of this
[00:27:14] responsibility. While the global economy has benefited from
[00:27:17] this route, much the burden has remained with the region: air and
[00:27:21] water pollution, the risk of fuel spills, possible
[00:27:25] collisions, search and rescue
[00:27:28] operations, wider security
[00:27:31] and environment. mental consequences. In this context, Iran's
[00:27:35] question becomes easier to understand, is it reasonable for the
[00:27:39] world to benefit from vital straight without contributing
[00:27:43] to the cost of keeping it safe, and more importantly, is it fair for
[00:27:47] this corridor to continue free of charge? From Iran's
[00:27:50] perspective, the era of providing such services without
[00:27:53] compensation is over. This does not mean closing maritime
[00:27:57] roots or using the straight of hormos as a weapon, it means
[00:28:01] creating a transport.
[00:28:03] legal and predictable mechanism for sharing the costs the services that keep this
[00:28:07] route safe and usable. if Suez and Panama collect fees for
[00:28:11] their artificial waterways, and if some natural
[00:28:14] straights also have financial mechanisms for safety
[00:28:18] related services, then the straight
[00:28:20] of horm cannot be treated forever as a completely free route. the fact
[00:28:24] that horm is natural or international does not exempted from the costs
[00:28:28] of management and protection, and its strategic is.
[00:28:32] Exactly why financing its safety and management must be taken
[00:28:35] seriously.
[00:30:10] Your headlines on press TV, president Pesishian says the straight off
[00:30:14] for moves would be open within the framework of international law if the
[00:30:18] US stops its acts of aggression against Ivan.
[00:30:22] The IRGC once again warns all ships against crossing the straight off
[00:30:26] moves through unauthorized.
