[00:00:00] In other words, Iran gained its own domestic and foreign
[00:00:03] policy. Iran established its own government, it formed
[00:00:07] nation state, it established the Islamic Republic
[00:00:10] a and adopted a constitution. These were the results
[00:00:14] of the Islamic Revolution of February 11th,
[00:00:17] of 1979. But during the sacred defense, we laid the
[00:00:21] foundations of our national power. In fact, we
[00:00:24] of carried out defensive revolution within an imposed
[00:00:28] of war. We developed. new principles and rules,
[00:00:32] as well as new models of
[00:00:34] of revolutionary warfare. We established the organizational structure
[00:00:38] of our armed forces. The three branches
[00:00:40] of the IRGC were formed and people's
[00:00:43] of brigades and divisions were established. Our first missiles were
[00:00:47] produced during the sacred defense. Our first drones were also
[00:00:51] developed during those eight years, particularly in the
[00:00:55] final years. Of course, we finally obtained our
[00:00:58] missiles from North Korea.
[00:01:00] and we also received a number
[00:01:02] of them from Libya, but toward the end
[00:01:03] of the war we were almost entirely using our own
[00:01:07] domesticly produced missiles with ranges of 70
[00:01:11] to 100 kilometers, while also using other types of
[00:01:15] missiles. By then, the foundations of our military industry,
[00:01:19] our drone industry, our missile industry, our tank
[00:01:22] manufacturing industry and our helicopter manufacturing
[00:01:26] industry had essentially been laid during the sacred defense.
[00:01:30] Therefore, sacred defense week is a week in which we
[00:01:33] celebrate the return of national power to the sacred land of
[00:01:37] Islamic Iran. We congratulate our entire dear
[00:01:41] nation on this occasion, and we hope that will be properly
[00:01:45] explained, will be properly
[00:01:47] of explained. Since we want to move to current issues, I will
[00:01:51] leave this subject here, but if we have the opportunity, I will
[00:01:55] certainly speak with you and our colleagues about the sacred
[00:01:59] defense.
[00:02:00] on what you said about the national power that took shape during the sacred defense.
[00:02:12] certainly got willing, i will
[00:02:18] in have the opportunity of to benefit from your insights. i would the like third to imposed build war, it manifested itself
[00:02:20] in a different way, and the Iranian people once again
[00:02:24] of demonstrated their determination to defend their soil, sovereignty and
[00:02:28] territory, but on the other hand, we saw that during the war itself,
[00:02:32] in the weeks and months that followed and in recent days,
[00:02:35] particularly in the recent rhetoric
[00:02:37] of the US president, he has made claims about what he did
[00:02:41] claiming that he achieved victories, but
[00:02:43] of the reality is something else, please explain that reality to our viewers and
[00:02:47] to the Iranian people, what did the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Iranian
[00:02:51] people and our armed forces do during the third imposed
[00:02:55] war and afterward, what happened in the battle of Hormus that
[00:02:58] followed, what did we do?
[00:03:03] of
[00:03:20] in
[00:03:24] of
[00:03:30] president whose entire speech revolved around
[00:03:33] Iran. Normally presidents would raise five or six
[00:03:37] issues. Perhaps they might devote one or two sentences to
[00:03:41] Iraq if Iran happened to be the
[00:03:43] of subject of discussion. Well, this shows that Iran has become
[00:03:46] Trump's major problem. If you had been
[00:03:49] successful, you wouldn't have spent so much time talking about
[00:03:53] Iran. That's one problem. The fact that Trump's entire
[00:03:57] speech revolved around Iran. clearly shows that
[00:04:01] Iran has become the biggest problem in his life and in his
[00:04:04] policies as well as in US policy. Without
[00:04:08] Iran's resistance,
[00:04:10] of this would not have happened to Trump, it would not have happened to the
[00:04:14] United States, without Iran's strength and Trump's repeated
[00:04:17] defeats. Trump would not have been driven to this state of
[00:04:21] desperation. This was major political blunder on his
[00:04:25] part, but more importantly, the entire text of his speech
[00:04:29] was essentially. the defense
[00:04:30] a presented by defeated, criminal defendant accused
[00:04:34] of crimes trying to defend himself through his
[00:04:37] remarks. first, he has committed crimes and he is a
[00:04:41] criminal who has been
[00:04:42] of defeated, and now he has come to
[00:04:44] of his speech to present his defense and influence world
[00:04:48] public opinion. you don't have to look very
[00:04:51] of far, in Trump's own country, the American media attached
[00:04:54] no value to his statements. if they value them,
[00:04:58] they wouldn't turn off his. microphone, the fact that American media
[00:05:02] outlets come and turn off the voice
[00:05:04] of their own country's president and ignore him,
[00:05:07] why? because they say that whenever Trump
[00:05:10] speaks, all he does, is impose costs on the American
[00:05:14] people, so they have shut him out to prevent Trump from imposing
[00:05:18] even more costs on the American people. Well, what does this
[00:05:22] show? It shows disastrous defeat. Now, he's gone to
[00:05:26] the United Nations and wants to improve the world's public perception of
[00:05:29] himself and the United States. If you're telling the
[00:05:33] truth, you should be able to do something to make your own media
[00:05:37] value what you say. Why do they ignore every
[00:05:40] speech, every statement and every? tweet trump makes
[00:05:43] second, what is the response the American
[00:05:47] people? in fact, the greatest decline in popularity
[00:05:51] among presidents in the past has been recorded under
[00:05:54] Trump, and now such a person wants to come and talk about
[00:05:58] shaping world public opinion against Iran. so first of
[00:06:02] all, let's pay attention
[00:06:04] to this person's ridiculous situation inside his own country.
[00:06:08] second,
[00:06:09] he has come to defend these crimes of his,
[00:06:11] he has.
[00:06:43] the war in Ukraine, even though he had claimed that he would end the war in Ukraine within 24
[00:06:47] hours, yes, he said he would end it, so someone
[00:06:51] like this comes along and presents himself as
[00:06:54] a peacemaker while portraying the Iranian people as
[00:06:58] warmongers, but since the beginning the revolution, we have
[00:07:02] never attacked another country, we have only defended
[00:07:05] ourselves, you are the ones who are warmongers, we
[00:07:08] defended ourselves, we are defending ourselves right now,
[00:07:12] Or take the issue of terrorism. Trump is the most
[00:07:16] evil terrorist in the world, not simply because he carries
[00:07:20] out acts of terror. No, Trump and Netanyahu have
[00:07:23] created the most extreme form of terrorism in the world.
[00:07:27] Why? Because they killed 25,00 children in Gaza,
[00:07:31] Palestine, in Lebanon and Iran. They have become known as
[00:07:35] the child killers the world. Are the world's child
[00:07:39] killers terrorists, or are we who took up arms in?
[00:08:42] has essentially tried to prove that he was not defeated,
[00:08:46] in other words, defeated criminal is trying to defend
[00:08:49] himself. Trump, how can you say you were not
[00:08:53] defeated? Trump says, I struck Iran's leaders, I struck
[00:08:57] its commanders, I also struck its naval vessels.
[00:09:01] Yes, you did those things, but you turned Iran into the world's fourth
[00:09:05] power, you martered Iran's leader and commanders, but you
[00:09:08] achieved none of your objectives. Name just one.
[00:09:42] developing their technologies day by day and increasing their
[00:09:46] capabilities, and the Iranian people are a civilized people, something
[00:09:50] that the world is now acknowledging one by one. just few days ago,
[00:09:54] the french army chief declared that the resistance the Iranian
[00:09:58] people against the United States had shown that the civilized
[00:10:02] Iranian people would never under any circumstances
[00:10:05] surrender. little by little, the terms being used to
[00:10:09] describe our people are entering the internation.
[00:10:25] oil rich region, well you failed to do that as well, so
[00:10:29] that was another failure. If I were to count America's defeats and our
[00:10:32] victories, it would take a long time. Which country was
[00:10:36] the first to shoot down an F-35? Which country was
[00:10:40] the first to shoot down an awax? Which country has shot down
[00:10:44] more than 170 to 180 of America's advanced
[00:10:48] drones? All these are our list of
[00:10:51] victories. There are many more and more. Accordingly,
[00:10:55] which country brought the world's international superpower to its
[00:10:59] knees? Today, no one talks about America's superpower
[00:11:03] status the way they did before the war with Iran. Today, the
[00:11:06] entire world sees America as a vulnerable America, as a
[00:11:10] weakened America. Our list of victories and America's list of
[00:11:14] defeats are extensive. This is America's
[00:11:17] latest foolishness, and it'll be recorded in
[00:11:21] history. It will have no impact on world public opinion.
[00:11:25] On the contrary, people will continue to see him as someone
[00:11:28] struggling desperately escape the pressure being
[00:11:32] exerted by Iran. In other words, his speech itself was an
[00:11:36] indication of Iran's power. His entire speech was
[00:11:40] about Iran, as though major international power were
[00:11:44] standing in front of him, and he was trying to defend himself by
[00:11:47] saying, "No, I wasn't defeated, I struck this, I
[00:11:51] struck that." His remarks showed that Iran..."
[00:12:55] in his own remarks, what does he say? he says, "i don't want
[00:12:59] to get elected, my party wants to get elected, if it
[00:13:02] loses, it loses. that statement itself
[00:13:06] indicates electoral defeat. the defeat is
[00:13:09] completely clear. he has brought such problems upon
[00:13:13] America that not only has his own popularity
[00:13:16] suffered, but the party that has supported him up to now, is
[00:13:20] also losing its credibility. so it is completely
[00:13:24] clear. Trump has created a huge cost for himself,
[00:13:27] for his party and for the American people. Look at the situation with
[00:13:31] gasoline there, what is the situation with diesel? What is
[00:13:35] the state of America's strategic oil reserves? What is the state of
[00:13:39] America's strategic missile stockpile. America had prepared
[00:13:43] these missiles so that if it became involved a conflict with China or
[00:13:47] Russia, it would not face an ammunition shortage. We
[00:13:51] demonstrated through this war that if America could not stand up to...
[00:13:55] Iran, then in the future, it'l also face serious problems
[00:13:58] in confronting those two rival powers, now it missiles have
[00:14:02] encountered problems, its forces have encountered problems,
[00:14:06] they keep concealing the extent their casualties, and the American
[00:14:10] media themselves have started raising questions, why are
[00:14:14] you lying? American casualties have been higher, why are you
[00:14:18] making them appear lower? The Washington Post has said
[00:14:21] this, others have said this as well, so the American.
[00:14:25] media have realized that this defeat is so obvious
[00:14:28] and that Trump has created such a disgrace that they're
[00:14:32] afraid to present Trump statements to their audiences as
[00:14:35] fact, they are afraid of losing
[00:14:38] their audiences and seeing their costs increase,
[00:14:41] therefore they have been forced to tell the people the truth and not attach
[00:14:45] any value to Trump
[00:14:47] statements.
[00:15:25] Iran was the winner of this conflict. The reason is that our
[00:15:29] progress and our victories have been so significant and
[00:15:32] undeniable that they have caused astonishment around
[00:15:36] the world. The world simply did not believe that
[00:15:40] Iran could strike and neutralized America's most
[00:15:44] advanced aircraft, drones and missiles. We shut
[00:15:48] down a tanker aircraft, we shut down F-15s,
[00:15:52] F-18s and F-16s, we shot down an awax.
[00:15:55] We were able to strike US bases and facilities where American
[00:15:59] officers and soldiers were stationed. Major developments have now
[00:16:03] taken place. The organization they had in Bahrain, which was the
[00:16:07] US Navy's fifth fleet has now moved to Diego
[00:16:11] Garcia and SENcom initially moved to Jordan and then
[00:16:15] to Israel. Billions of dollars have been spent on these
[00:16:18] infrastructures along the southern shores the Persian Gulf and
[00:16:22] throughout the West Asia region and these assets suffered serious
[00:16:26] and fundamental damage. For the first time we were able
[00:16:29] to detonate our missile directly over the USS
[00:16:33] George Washington aircraft carrier. For the first.
[00:16:37] time we were able to obtain American submarines, which
[00:16:41] fortunately were now reverse engineering. We have also made
[00:16:45] good progress in this area over the past two or three weeks.
[00:16:48] The submarine we have obtained can descent to depth of
[00:16:52] 6,00 meters in the oceans and conduct
[00:16:55] reconnaissance. Its production cost might be several
[00:16:59] million dollars, but the value of its technology to
[00:17:02] us is worth more than one or two billion dollars. It would not
[00:17:06] even be surprised. if in the future countries came to
[00:17:10] us and said, give us the technology for this submarine and we will
[00:17:13] pay you several billion dollars. our colleagues have now begune
[00:17:17] reverse engineering it in order to acquire the knowledge
[00:17:21] embedded in it, and it is genuinely advanced knowledge.
[00:17:25] in fact, i think the peak of American technological
[00:17:28] concentration is embodied in this submarine, and we are
[00:17:32] now uncovering it. well, if these aren't victories for
[00:17:35] Iran, then what is victory?
[00:17:46] and third imposed wars given us and where do we stand today in terms
[00:17:50] of our capabilities compared with the beginning the third imposed
[00:17:54] war? today we are a very important point
[00:17:58] where we have reached our peak. Iran
[00:18:01] have the today second is no longer the Iran that existed before the war. no one
[00:18:05] looks at today's Iran the way they looked at. Iran before the war,
[00:18:09] whether in terms of our standing and dignity, the power and
[00:18:12] strength we have acquired, and the political and humanitarian
[00:18:16] conduct we have demonstrated toward the world. We did not
[00:18:20] commit any the legal and international violations that Trump and
[00:18:24] Netanyahu committed. We acted with strength, but while
[00:18:28] preserving human values, politically,
[00:18:31] humainly, in terms of our national power and in terms of our
[00:18:35] military advances, we are now.
[00:19:37] that time, the diplomacy we have just begun is completely
[00:19:41] different from the past, it's different in the sense that we are
[00:19:45] making the united states earn the trust the Iranian people,
[00:19:49] we're no longer moving, now you have to take action, so this is the
[00:19:53] first time that we are saying that you must first
[00:19:56] fulfill these conditions, if the united states does not
[00:20:00] fulfill the conditions,
[00:20:02] we will neither reopen the straight of hormos, nor will there be any
[00:20:06] negotiations. second, there's also difference in our
[00:20:09] conditions, in the seven conditions we have put forward, which
[00:20:13] God willing will be fully explained at the appropriate
[00:20:17] time, these conditions are completely different from those the
[00:20:20] past, both in their language and in their substance. Of
[00:20:24] course, sometimes one or two or three of us may mention two
[00:20:28] or three these conditions, and many people get excited and say,
[00:20:32] so Iran has three conditions. No, Iran does not
[00:20:36] have three conditions. Iran has seven conditions: the
[00:20:39] Pakistanis came and asked, what are your conditions? the
[00:20:43] Qataris came and asked, what are your conditions? the Omanis came,
[00:20:47] and more recently, the Iraqis came asking: what are your
[00:20:50] conditions? we would ask them, who told you to
[00:20:54] ask? they would say, america told us. they
[00:20:57] said, we don't
[00:20:58] want to fight, we want to negotiate. why won't Iran talk to
[00:21:02] us? why won't Iran state its conditions? well,
[00:21:06] we were not in a hurry. we first sat down and completed all the
[00:21:09] necessary deliberations inside the country. we reached complete
[00:21:13] consensus, and we put the conditions in writing. it's been
[00:21:17] about two or three days since we were. told, you should
[00:21:21] inform the intermediaries that these are our conditions.
[00:21:25] Today Iran's conditions are in the hands of Pakistan,
[00:21:29] Qatar, and the other intermediaries. When
[00:21:32] Mr.chi and the president go to the United Nations, the
[00:21:36] president held a meeting, the matter was discussed there, and it was
[00:21:39] decided that the same conditions we have communicated to
[00:21:43] the intermediaries should be conveyed by Mr.chi to those
[00:21:47] intermediaries who are in contact with their officials and
[00:21:51] American officials, therefore there is absolutely no
[00:21:54] discussion about changing these conditions, removing
[00:21:58] an existing condition or adding new one. there is no such
[00:22:02] issue under consideration. the conditions of Iran have been
[00:22:05] communicated and we are waiting for the Americans to fulfill
[00:22:09] them. therefore, until Iran's conditions are fulfilled, the straight
[00:22:13] of hormones will not be reopened and there will be no
[00:22:17] negotiations. why did we change -
[00:22:20] Why did we adopt this approach? It is clear, all
[00:22:24] the previous negotiations demonstrated that the Americans are the
[00:22:28] first ones to break their commitments. They cannot be
[00:22:31] trusted. We cannot move forward now with the same
[00:22:35] diplomacy when there is no guarantee. We were looking
[00:22:39] for new form of diplomacy, but praise be to God, that has
[00:22:43] now begun. In this new approach, the United States
[00:22:47] itself had been coming to us for the past month.
[00:23:50] yourselves, why are
[00:23:52] you interfering in the affairs the Spanish government? don't do
[00:23:55] this, you do these things, people become angry, and they close the
[00:23:59] straits, then you say that the Iranians are closing the world
[00:24:03] straights, yes, the yemen have acted
[00:24:06] independently, they are our friends, and i commend
[00:24:10] those gentlemen for their courage. of course, we
[00:24:14] genuinely do not want a war to take place between Yemen
[00:24:17] and
[00:24:19] Saudi Arabia.
[00:24:28] Pakistan should also
[00:24:29] come to an end. We are against war, we are not
[00:24:33] warmongers. We do not accept war mongary. So
[00:24:36] emit all the uprore they have created, we have to make
[00:24:40] it clear that Iran's diplomacy will not return to
[00:24:44] its previous state. Our diplomacy has taken a
[00:24:48] new path. They should not.
[00:26:02] diplomacy, we have leverage called the straight of
[00:26:05] hormos, this is the guarantee built into the negotiations
[00:26:09] themselves, so the Americans must take steps and build
[00:26:13] confidence, while we also have guarantee and will stand our
[00:26:16] ground. the straight of hormos is a tool for securing the rights the
[00:26:20] Iranian people and obtaining what is rightfully theirs.
[00:26:24] therefore, today the straight of hormos is one of our
[00:26:27] guarantees for ensuring that we can secure the rights
[00:26:31] the Iranian people.
[00:27:02] I want to say this right now to all our dear neighboring
[00:27:05] countries. Please do not involved in this adventure.
[00:27:09] This adventure will be defeated very quickly. If a
[00:27:13] country cooperates with the United States and gets involved in this
[00:27:16] adventure, the airports there will not be able to operate
[00:27:20] flights either. Now, it is up to you, you can choose to
[00:27:24] cooperate with the Americans, or conversely, you can support us
[00:27:28] and expel American aircraft, or you can simply...
[00:28:32] Please stay tuned for the continuation of our
[00:28:35] programs.
[00:29:21] Trust president criticizes us for failing to aby by the Islama about mou,
[00:29:24] saying that the agreement can be the basis for reopening
[00:29:27] the straight of hormones. New York's premier is called for
[00:29:31] exemptions from US sanctions. targeting global companies that work with Iranian
[00:29:35] airlines,
[00:29:43] and in the west bank, Israel raids the verset university in romalla and other
[00:29:47] areas of palestinian territory have also seen regime
[00:29:49] inclusions.
